Hanna pulled up to a small cabin in the absolute middle of nowhere. She double checked the address Ethan had given her. This was the place. They had finally made it someplace out of the way. She was sure it was just the blackness of the night making the whole place a little spooky.54Please respect copyright.PENANAUIAZUSvkOM
54Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ45R8a2Fv
It was difficult to see under the light of the waxing moon, but the ground and trees were still damp with last night's rainfall. The evergreens gave the area a subtle enclosed feeling, as if the place was hidden from the sky and everything else around it. The area around the building looked a bit overgrown and unkempt, like no one had been up here after the winter yet. Not only did the property appear to be quite large but, given the weather, there were likely less people around than usual which was a plus. At first glance, it seemed like a good spot to Hanna.54Please respect copyright.PENANAXRUp5W8tK7
54Please respect copyright.PENANAGL4Ra3pSJc
Hanna could tell that Ethan was still fast asleep. She decided to scout out the place out before trying to wake him up, it seemed like he could use the rest. She left the headlights on, locked the car doors and walked up the gravel road to the front door. Then, she tried the number Ethan had scribbled down in the combination lock and it clicked open quietly.54Please respect copyright.PENANAG1ntcTopXY
54Please respect copyright.PENANAA9i9WYo5NZ
Through the front door, she found the living room, with the kitchen behind it. There were also two bedrooms and a bathroom. At least there's a hot water heater, Hanna thought, continuing her inventory. She found a first aid kit and stuck it in the bedroom, knowing they'd make use of it later.54Please respect copyright.PENANA7F6D6azsou
54Please respect copyright.PENANApDPl52iIFT
It didn't take her long to figure out how to turn the power and water on. Then found the light switches. She went to search the small, cozy kitchen. A fair amount of canned food here, Hanna noted approvingly.54Please respect copyright.PENANATNU0n3SZpY
54Please respect copyright.PENANAhSiFogEhS6
She realized this was meant to be a safe house. Probably where he would have gone if she'd told him his cover had been blown in the first place. It seemed well-stocked, secure and isolated. She was satisfied it was safe, at least for now.54Please respect copyright.PENANAacF1bEHYXK
54Please respect copyright.PENANAZIVxu0KkzR
Her scouting completed, Hanna went back out to the car. She opened the passenger door and gently shook Ethan awake. Despite the drugs he'd taken earlier, he woke up quickly.54Please respect copyright.PENANA7oN8i3H9dB
54Please respect copyright.PENANAiWsI7eyQWm
"We're here," Hanna said softly. "This is the address you gave me."54Please respect copyright.PENANAdvMtrIjnr5
54Please respect copyright.PENANAbhfG0TiSoh
He blinked at her, then took in the surroundings, still looking a bit out of it. "Good," he mumbled.54Please respect copyright.PENANAANj6UkdhjY
54Please respect copyright.PENANAn0gkXoZCEF
"I didn't call anyone but are you sure there's no one you want me to contact? What about your family?" Hanna asked again, still confused as to why he was insistent on handling this on his own.54Please respect copyright.PENANABS8wuZ0YNx
54Please respect copyright.PENANAGsamjL9kp7
Ethan shook his head. "No, we should be safe here now." He got out of the car and wobbled on his feet, he felt the gravel underneath his shoes shifting.54Please respect copyright.PENANAN7sOlVJY0w
54Please respect copyright.PENANAhwiDFuMCrf
Hanna took his arm to steady him as she looked at him with concern. "Are you okay?"54Please respect copyright.PENANAZzLVZnhe2L
54Please respect copyright.PENANAcBy0pRzyI1
Even such a simple touch was starting to arouse him, but he needed her support more than he wanted to admit. He leaned against the vehicle and she let go of him. The combined effects of the pills and heat were hitting him now, making his body feel like a battleground.54Please respect copyright.PENANAziN2LOWyY1
54Please respect copyright.PENANAwJbxLzdfSH
Ethan took deep breaths of fresh air. No matter how much he wanted to, throwing her down on the ground here and having her right now would probably not be very pleasant. At the moment, he needed to focus on getting someplace more suitable. Preferably with many soft surfaces he could throw her down on. He tried to not distract himself further.54Please respect copyright.PENANAuhmz8pZEG6
54Please respect copyright.PENANA6hXiQ1dXUi
"We should go inside," Ethan mumbled. The fire growing inside him was starting to counteract the effects of the drugs. Making him feel more awake and aware.54Please respect copyright.PENANAjDNexc3Ihp
54Please respect copyright.PENANA5yrOzt3uBt
"Are you alright?" Hanna repeated.54Please respect copyright.PENANAVjO93rmOlg
54Please respect copyright.PENANAsFimOtDZhm
Ethan made a frustrated sound. "No. We need to get inside," he repeated more urgently. Despite his tone, he wasn't moving, he was still leaning against the car.54Please respect copyright.PENANASHWnCXJsIf
54Please respect copyright.PENANAgaUHJYWIGp
"Alright, do you want help?" Hanna asked.54Please respect copyright.PENANAuUtB5kVgw9
54Please respect copyright.PENANAV9WspP7LLL
Ethan nodded reluctantly.54Please respect copyright.PENANAxvoTi3tTBo
54Please respect copyright.PENANAUBt8rX8Cnw
Hanna draped his arm over her shoulder. "Okay, let's go." She took only some of his weight, helping him keep his balance more than anything else. She noticed how he was clearly in a rush, despite his current state.54Please respect copyright.PENANArVl3qWfyVi
54Please respect copyright.PENANA070KS4iDnt
Hanna gripped him tighter as he stumbled over a bump in the dirt, practically invisible under the moonlight. "We can go slower," she offered.54Please respect copyright.PENANAWp2WbKBjx4
54Please respect copyright.PENANAcAsO7mdFSQ
"Not unless you want me to rip your clothes off out here," Ethan grumbled, eyes laser focused on the front door. He was trying desperately not to think about her touch.54Please respect copyright.PENANAR5iOh1OQzY
54Please respect copyright.PENANAVCX8YRLPKO
"Oh. Right." Hanna blushed. She hadn't realized his condition was due to the heat. "Inside, then we can do whatever you want."54Please respect copyright.PENANArUenaZRESK
54Please respect copyright.PENANAvjnNPmctKA
"Dangerous promise," Ethan mumbled faintly.54Please respect copyright.PENANArAoN3dkZMz
54Please respect copyright.PENANA08TTKnsaz7
Hanna blushed harder. She continued walking with him towards the cabin. On the way, she started to mentally catalogue Ethan's symptoms out of habit. The quick and shallow breathing. How the pink tint in his cheeks seemed to be making it's way down his neck. The tension in his jaw.54Please respect copyright.PENANAZCR1VAIGn3
54Please respect copyright.PENANAXDwkEOyKKI
They were nearly at the front door. He didn't need her support anymore. He lowered his arm to her waist, pressing her onwards now. Hanna felt herself getting wet with anticipation as Ethan opened the door in a rush.54Please respect copyright.PENANAyC9hiEY6l2
54Please respect copyright.PENANAM3xyMf0y6t
Ethan let his control slip as soon as they crossed the threshold. They were barely inside when he grabbed her and started kissing her. Every kiss, every touch on her skin, was intoxicating. It all made him just want her more.54Please respect copyright.PENANAaTxlIjUoRS
54Please respect copyright.PENANAoEKvxUunVv
Everything about her, every part of her, was so damn hot. Ethan wasn't sure if it was the heat making him feel this way but he didn't care. He wanted her now. Nothing was going to get in his way.54Please respect copyright.PENANAzDSMdCUY7F
54Please respect copyright.PENANArdqpQ0V1wt
Hanna slyly closed the door behind them. She rushed to take off her clothes, before he started ripping them off, but he was already ahead of her. He pulled her shirt over her head then started fumbling with her bra's clasp. She found that kind of funny and let him play with it for a minute.54Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y2n1IKfSq
54Please respect copyright.PENANAvSpHIWO8cM
"Should I wear a front-clasping bra next time so it's easier for you to take off?" Hanna joked.54Please respect copyright.PENANA99z6prhsHE
54Please respect copyright.PENANAdcrDkW3ATC
Ethan made a sound that was suspiciously close to a growl. "I'm trying not to break it."54Please respect copyright.PENANAar23G3hZyC
54Please respect copyright.PENANAoUOWdudcbJ
She could feel his hot breath on her cheek, fast and inconsistent. She felt him grind against her, already hard. So this is what the heat's really like, she thought to herself. It looks like some things weren't an exaggeration.54Please respect copyright.PENANANvegWbrpLx
54Please respect copyright.PENANAgaHmdcIBbO
Hanna saw a feral look in his eyes that was so damn sexy she nearly dismissed the idea that it might be a bad sign. Feeling his frustration and figuring she'd move things along, she guided his hands to push her bra together and it came undone. Just like that, the garment was gone.54Please respect copyright.PENANA5xGKYFF3Cm
54Please respect copyright.PENANAyFCpNMX2RM
She noted he didn't even slow down at the success. He tried to take off her pants so frantically she nearly fell over. "I've got it," she said, shooing his hands away for the instant. "You've got your own things to deal with."54Please respect copyright.PENANARvuo1YrBxw
54Please respect copyright.PENANAkVXxlJGqNk
She'd been warned Charax could be almost animalistic when it came to sex but this was the first time she saw how accurate that could be. He seemed so focused and driven but clumsy and impatient all at once.54Please respect copyright.PENANApOceSE4wn0
54Please respect copyright.PENANA0SV2fCQR21
He seemed to finally realize he'd take to take off his own clothes as well, not simply hers. He pulled his shirt up over his head and nearly hit her with it. He seemed to fumble around with his own belt buckle. She took his hands in hers to still them and get his attention. She looked into his eyes, they were bordering on desperate. "Calm down," she ordered.54Please respect copyright.PENANAxZVa67dQ7E
54Please respect copyright.PENANA45yZb6TWTb
Ethan closed his eyes and attempted to steady his breathing. Hanna took the chance to undo his belt buckle for him. Then she held his hand lightly. He gripped her hand in return, using the feel of her skin to ground himself as the waves of arousal washed over him.54Please respect copyright.PENANAdEnL9pGblf
54Please respect copyright.PENANAVFhyOsi2Gz
"Better?" She asked, all she got was a nod in return. She wasn't satisfied with that, she held his jaw, gently encouraging him to face her. He opened his eyes, now clear and focused. "Better?" She repeated.54Please respect copyright.PENANAxBVVVMRymb
54Please respect copyright.PENANAeA1M6YqhpP
"Yes," Ethan managed.54Please respect copyright.PENANAsPVWbcG2a6
54Please respect copyright.PENANAJA8x9zMAfW
"Good," Hanna said softly. "Tell me if that changes."54Please respect copyright.PENANAhOcLalgn9P
54Please respect copyright.PENANAiipYURMN8R
Ethan nodded, getting right back into the flow. He ran his hands all over her skin, feeling her in places she didn't know she enjoyed. That just made her want to touch him more.54Please respect copyright.PENANAPXb7FMqNwT
54Please respect copyright.PENANA7two0t3YQW
"Can I touch you?" Hanna asked softly.54Please respect copyright.PENANAW3ppCQzQ31
54Please respect copyright.PENANAiNllhEOfn7
"Yeah. Of course." Ethan didn't shift his focus from her breasts for a moment.54Please respect copyright.PENANATlUusackIk
54Please respect copyright.PENANAuKbwUlr8dv
Hanna cocked her head to the side slightly. "You said earlier..."54Please respect copyright.PENANAqnb6PpTbux
54Please respect copyright.PENANASnv4ndNRwB
"It's just very arousing." Ethan's skin was nearly radiating warmth now. "It was frustrating back there."54Please respect copyright.PENANA5e2jRu9aFs
54Please respect copyright.PENANAWBMQ2Vgkqj
Hanna ran a hand along his spine, noting the shiver that went through him. "So good now then?"54Please respect copyright.PENANAC5W90iRRh2
54Please respect copyright.PENANAud4Xt41cwu
"Yes." Ethan kissed her breast. "Very." He planted another kiss on her collarbone. He kissed her again, accidentally putting his hand on her neck, partially on the burned skin. She winced at the painful sensation. He felt her reaction and pulled back immediately to get a good look at her.
"What is it?" Ethan asked with concern in his eyes.54Please respect copyright.PENANACF8B5cvQMV
54Please respect copyright.PENANAbERrnPCau6
"It's nothing," Hanna answered dismissively as she stretched out her neck and adjusted her hair.54Please respect copyright.PENANAElfvBWj0pM
54Please respect copyright.PENANAyjbLuCUrpE
"Tell me," Ethan insisted.54Please respect copyright.PENANAnG52l1SjYe
54Please respect copyright.PENANAyappHIcBTe
"Just the burns," Hanna answered reluctantly.54Please respect copyright.PENANAwj32V9jXaB
54Please respect copyright.PENANAB1DIv3bzdq
Ethan pushed back her hair to take another look at them. They looked worst, small blisters had formed and the skin around them looked red and inflamed. He wished they'd just go away. He hated what they represented.54Please respect copyright.PENANAd5kVngGMrB
54Please respect copyright.PENANArj1AIY0ReN
"I'll avoid them," Ethan spoke softly, "but you need to tell me if anything hurts."54Please respect copyright.PENANAYwrcnj2kjD
54Please respect copyright.PENANAl4P0tczoZn
Hanna nodded then kissed his chest.54Please respect copyright.PENANAtvHgr8wx9U
54Please respect copyright.PENANANQJhi3IJaS
"I'm serious," he emphasized, looking into her deep brown eyes.54Please respect copyright.PENANAPoMAQDhW25
54Please respect copyright.PENANAMAb885l9sh
"I will," she promised.54Please respect copyright.PENANAZVspGbSian
54Please respect copyright.PENANAXtgWEola2a
He tilted her chin upwards slightly, there being little difference in their height, and kissed her deeply, pushing his tongue into her mouth. He kept her there for a moment, before breaking away. She stood there, breathless and dazed, afterwards.54Please respect copyright.PENANAQAvtbkRcYA
54Please respect copyright.PENANAU0qKUN9smV
Ethan managed to get the rest of his clothes off on his own. She was almost undressed. He took a second to orient himself in the room. She had just slipped off her panties.54Please respect copyright.PENANAAWnUSi67l0
54Please respect copyright.PENANAYqavg5eT9C
Seeing the sofa behind him, he decided he wanted her on top of him. Just in case. He bent down and picked her up by her armpits and she instinctively wrapped her legs around him, letting out a small yelp in surprise. His hard cock was sandwiched between them as he held her.54Please respect copyright.PENANA7L461SydmC
54Please respect copyright.PENANAn2q9SlY8as
"I've got you," Ethan reassured her with a grin.54Please respect copyright.PENANAnSKt4UoNYi
54Please respect copyright.PENANAuYIirn5ZXg
"Uh." Hanna did not look very convinced, she glanced down at his ankle uncertainly.54Please respect copyright.PENANAHlCzi16ux8
54Please respect copyright.PENANAnSzYyr3GFK
He then sat himself down on to the soft, worn cushions of the sofa, leaning backwards. Straddling him with her knees on the cushions, she had to throw her hands out onto his shoulders to keep from falling on top of him unexpectedly.54Please respect copyright.PENANAdL3MV5UBoh
54Please respect copyright.PENANAOfwx1K9yQN
She readjusted herself so could sit on his thighs without worrying about falling over. His fingers started racing over her skin, moving downwards then playing around her centre. He found her folds, investigating them with his fingers as his searched for what he wanted. She trembled slightly, enjoying that sensation.54Please respect copyright.PENANAqsshn3lbNn
54Please respect copyright.PENANAjQbR581V2K
"We could find the bedroom before-" she was cut off mid-sentence by her own gasp of pleasure, he had managed to find her clit. He smiled, enjoying his success and continued to stimulate the area.54Please respect copyright.PENANAYp7Yf1LSOA
54Please respect copyright.PENANAcXamQM9RLa
It seems he wasn't trying to race through things like last time or not as much as last time at least. She wasn't going to be walking anywhere as long as he was doing that.54Please respect copyright.PENANAIn2rVn6801
54Please respect copyright.PENANA9TIf3OcVSy
"I want you to enjoy yourself," Ethan told her.54Please respect copyright.PENANAAhCbvJ0qEE
54Please respect copyright.PENANAfuAAHDx9Dk
"Oh, I am." She threw her head back and let out another gasp between breaths as he continued to tease her. "Believe me," she responded. "Don't worry." She moaned. "It's your heat, take what you need."54Please respect copyright.PENANA0wI9FtwgjB
54Please respect copyright.PENANANvaKve69su
Ethan considered that, not stopping his motion. Maybe he wasn't thinking straight, maybe this was another part of the heat. Some biological imperative to convince her to become his mate and bear his children. That idea seemed a bit far fetched to him.54Please respect copyright.PENANA9130ZOZZfh
54Please respect copyright.PENANApWqM9rQ9mc
Last time had been a rush, a band-aid solution, now he was starting to feel a deeper connection to her. He could take his time with her now and he wanted to. Maybe he shouldn't risk getting so attached to someone he was going to have to leave anyways.54Please respect copyright.PENANAbpyFvinZ3S
54Please respect copyright.PENANAb4mXahoDp0
Ethan decided he didn't care. He knew he loved the sounds escaping her lips and he wanted to hear more. It was that simple. "Okay, it's my heat and this is what I want to do."54Please respect copyright.PENANAFxBVYEBDvR
54Please respect copyright.PENANAotY3Z63M4Y
"No objections," Hanna panted.54Please respect copyright.PENANAiCzzsSmw4D
54Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ2ROYdsQs
"Good." Ethan smiled broadly.54Please respect copyright.PENANA5D98BsDuJR
54Please respect copyright.PENANAFaZgMGY7UN
He was surprised at how vocal she was. She must have been holding back previously but there was no one to overhear them out here. He was glad she felt safe enough to be that loud, he enjoyed hearing her. He rubbed circles into her sensitive spot and delighted in watching her throw her head back.54Please respect copyright.PENANA7xeyhU6V8D
54Please respect copyright.PENANAyiLUDPY2Ne
"I'm ready," Hanna said, breathing heavy. She lifted herself above him.54Please respect copyright.PENANAZDQZIxBV5i
54Please respect copyright.PENANAktySAb3MHF
"I'll be the judge of that," Ethan said, pulling his fingers back from her clit. "Stay still." He traced his finger along her skin until he found her entrance, then stuck a finger in her pussy to feel how wet she was.54Please respect copyright.PENANA60ZbaM7546
54Please respect copyright.PENANAoa8HseUPS4
She held as still as could, moaning softly at the new sensation.54Please respect copyright.PENANA6rf0i4y4ry
54Please respect copyright.PENANAAXSGGMzQvr
"Hold still for me." He felt her tense up inside and his finger came away slick. He was in agreement, she was more than wet enough for what he wanted.54Please respect copyright.PENANAt8iAhMe4cO
54Please respect copyright.PENANAhYm74js0U8
"Please!" Hanna moaned.54Please respect copyright.PENANAxhBlDANAA8
54Please respect copyright.PENANAqu4tNMQEJH
Ethan grinned. "Please what?"54Please respect copyright.PENANAxRo4bKaLM3
54Please respect copyright.PENANA9Fxdu1DOzO
"Please make love to me," Hanna whispered, looking down at him with lust-filled eyes.54Please respect copyright.PENANAmQP6tarcL5
54Please respect copyright.PENANA8oXCs3M1pY
Ethan couldn't keep the delight off his face. He put his arms around her waist and gently pulled her closer so they'd be lined up. He thrust up towards her, lifting his hips off the sofa.54Please respect copyright.PENANAIw5wMrbyEP
54Please respect copyright.PENANAcUPWzebVTA
As he pushed the head in, he felt her clamp down on him. She was so warm, so good. He exhaled softly. For a moment, he felt like his body was torn between climaxing right there and wanting this to go on forever. He watched her chest rise and fall with her face looking up at the ceiling.54Please respect copyright.PENANAj42UR4Dhai
54Please respect copyright.PENANAbDuVhTV2uZ
He paused there, waiting a moment to see if she'd open up to him. Not willing to force himself in, he simply spoke to her softly. "Relax." She shuddered and let out a breath, twisting to look at him again with happiness in her eyes.54Please respect copyright.PENANAfEydR9zEqF
54Please respect copyright.PENANA69cmkwMon4
He then found he had room to move deeper inside her. He sighed as he went further, feeling the pressure buildup within him starting to decrease now that he was in the moment.54Please respect copyright.PENANADO5WBZuSAG
54Please respect copyright.PENANAmSvK60dfGH
Hanna gasped as he made his first thrust into her. She seemed to inadvertently lower herself more than planned. Her body reacted by throwing her head back and arching her back, fully exposing her bronze breasts beautifully.54Please respect copyright.PENANAbRdIdQEzYb
54Please respect copyright.PENANA40zquYXcUm
Her walls were wrapping around him, squeezing him and awakening areas of his mind that he didn't even know existed. This was so unlike any time before, any time he'd had sex before the heat. Even last time hadn't felt like this, but he'd been too stressed and too concerned to properly enjoy it.54Please respect copyright.PENANAZQYMIzHBe7
54Please respect copyright.PENANArvLi1Y1WEj
He hadn't had a chance to savour it before, to savour being inside her. It didn't just feel good, it felt right, and while he relished the feeling of his cock finally deep inside her, those bouncing petite breasts were just begging for his attention. He kissed them both before letting his hips settle back down so he could thrust up again.54Please respect copyright.PENANAMZIA5PZzBn
54Please respect copyright.PENANA6cMB56vWEo
"How is it?" Hanna asked breathlessly.54Please respect copyright.PENANAeil1qW8Kti
54Please respect copyright.PENANArb2MugUk5y
"What do you mean?" Ethan asked, confused as he paused for a moment.54Please respect copyright.PENANAF4RJRMMD2n
54Please respect copyright.PENANAodbe3FXASj
Hanna bit her lower lip. "Is it enough?"54Please respect copyright.PENANAk400ROJVkw
54Please respect copyright.PENANARTDTFAD9tE
Ethan almost laughed at her but only grinned. "You're perfect. All of you." He squeezed both sides of her waist.54Please respect copyright.PENANAfWyDUJIAgz
54Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0P3lbgKNy
Hanna blushed generously at the compliment. He started to thrust back into her at a slow pace. He was planning to take his time with her, go slow and shallow. She didn't have the same plan.54Please respect copyright.PENANAI6exXS9RjH
54Please respect copyright.PENANALE1j2MShxQ
She lowered herself down slightly, sliding further down his cock. He gasped at the feeling of her engulfing him more. She smirked at him as he thrust deeper now. She ended up lowering herself all the way, pushing him down with her weight and nearly damping his moments entirely. He was mildly irritated at the control being taken away from him.54Please respect copyright.PENANAmk4LtnFLXb
54Please respect copyright.PENANA5hWwiu7Lai
"Let me take you there," Hanna said softly. She lowered her face to his and kissed him deeply.54Please respect copyright.PENANAOdPZb0vAPJ
54Please respect copyright.PENANAL4CqZUqYB8
His irritation vanished in an instant.54Please respect copyright.PENANAnXEL1TuCsc
54Please respect copyright.PENANAg5gOc3ygCV
Then she started riding him, setting the pace. She soon had him panting and grunting under her. So damn sexy, she thought, I could watch this all day.54Please respect copyright.PENANAG5F0pUWqrm
54Please respect copyright.PENANA8EnF9MNaM6
He was so close now. He'd prefer to last a little while longer, he could see how much she was enjoying it, but he was reaching his limit. He couldn't hold back any longer, then was rewarded with ecstasy and release flooding his senses.54Please respect copyright.PENANA8rVojUShD6
54Please respect copyright.PENANAni3N7HmsOf
Hanna heard a deep, low groan from deep within him but she kept going, drawing him out as much as she could. She watched him carefully, eyes peeled for any signs he was going to faint. She smiled slyly as she saw the expression on his face.54Please respect copyright.PENANAuzWKUSGkBS
54Please respect copyright.PENANA6iRzfVAbBI
Suddenly, he gripped her hips tightly against him, stopping her movements with his cock as deep as it could go. He closed his eyes, trying to forget everything except this moment. He wanted to feel her, wanted to just sit there in the afterglow without the pressure, or the drive of the heat, just to sit there with her in satisfaction. This time felt so much better than the last. He was tired without being exhausted. Dizzy but not lightheaded, and he didn't feel like he was going to faint this time.54Please respect copyright.PENANA5PZ8J2hbIL
54Please respect copyright.PENANAeyLhHvt8DV
Hanna squirmed a bit but he held his grip and she tried her best to stay still. She could feel his cock just sitting there, deep inside her and it was driving her a bit crazy. She tried not to think about it, instead opting to watch him closely, remembering what had happened previously. She couldn't see his face now, as he rested his forehead against her chest.54Please respect copyright.PENANA5Iezb7i170
54Please respect copyright.PENANAQivRbAs0QV
He was panting heavily but she didn't think he'd lose consciousness. He still appeared to have a bit of trouble catching his breath. His hair was sweaty and pasted to his forehead. When she went to brush it aside, he leaned into her touch.54Please respect copyright.PENANAKFtu16Opnb
54Please respect copyright.PENANALv2GiNgkSU
He felt her start squirming again and couldn't resist a smirk. He found that incredibly cute. He'd have to see how long she could take it before begging another time, as he could feel himself start to soften. As soon as she started to move, he loosened his arms, releasing her. He rested his head back against the cushions, eyes closed.54Please respect copyright.PENANAqtA0h4o0I2
54Please respect copyright.PENANApUKgiAz5ro
"How are you doing?" Hanna asked softly, hoping he'd be able to talk.54Please respect copyright.PENANAYsbrE977Yh
54Please respect copyright.PENANAdRkuCJBOGQ
"Need a minute," Ethan mumbled, still panting.54Please respect copyright.PENANAowpfTSPDXw
54Please respect copyright.PENANAiV8ZNQ58a0
Hanna got off of him carefully and went to clean herself up in the washroom. She checked on the burns, wanting to make the blisters weren't broken, to find them completely gone. The bruises might have been a mistake but these burns had healed unnaturally fast, it was impressive. She wondered if Ethan knew what he was doing and if this was related to his level of exhaustion.54Please respect copyright.PENANAGvWcLAYpOf
54Please respect copyright.PENANApFUAW07ehU
Ethan regretted letting her leave almost immediately. His desire to touch her, to be close to her, was still strong. He suppressed a growl of displeasure, he knew he couldn't keep her next to him constantly and he wasn't going to whine about her leaving for a few moments. He'd just have to get used to this feeling of emptiness, it was just another Charax urge to suppress.54Please respect copyright.PENANAGadJMDm57V
54Please respect copyright.PENANAkgbuDR3MRl
She returned a few minutes later. "Can you walk?"54Please respect copyright.PENANAPrmyXNJwl5
54Please respect copyright.PENANA5hrdnakRVK
"Yes, I think so." Ethan was only panting lightly now. "I don't feel as dizzy as last time."54Please respect copyright.PENANARJBG56Z3HM
54Please respect copyright.PENANABLFZdTbwHB
Hanna helped him up, noticing how unsteady he was, then she nudged him towards the bedroom. When that didn't work, she took his arm and led him over. Once in the main bedroom, she got him to sit down on the king-sized bed so she could check him over again.54Please respect copyright.PENANAxrBUKsPwTd
54Please respect copyright.PENANA7ghBaNYtqD
Hanna could tell that he was already starting to get better, even if it was only slowly. At least his temperature is back to normal, Hanna thought, I'm not going to pretend I understand what's going on there. Pretty sure sex doesn't cure fevers in Terrans.54Please respect copyright.PENANAv3vI22swGE
54Please respect copyright.PENANAB129ZHmoSV
She could tell he was still exhausted, despite the nap on the way here and fluctuating energy levels. She wondered if he had slept there at all. Probably not, she figured, unless they knocked him out. He might be a bit dehydrated but she concluded he was going to be fine.54Please respect copyright.PENANAfh0dSpqxSt
54Please respect copyright.PENANASzBIuZZBSt
"How much blood did they take?" Hanna asked.54Please respect copyright.PENANAzPrgc8XCPL
54Please respect copyright.PENANAYxUOyTlNAC
"I saw a bag," Ethan answered uncertainly.54Please respect copyright.PENANATTlYrP1ZdB
54Please respect copyright.PENANAG4jY7LbvCx
"Probably more. That might be the reason behind some of these problems," Hanna reasoned. "Drink some more water, that'll help." She passed him a water bottle. "I'm really glad you didn't faint this time, it's a good sign."54Please respect copyright.PENANAMFhfZ5j1CX
54Please respect copyright.PENANAkxWCTsHWC2
Ethan's face reddened with embarrassment. "I swear I don't usually faint in the middle." He started to drink.54Please respect copyright.PENANAcZB9Rt9cIT
54Please respect copyright.PENANAtpSlZfgKQ0
"Or you could just pretend I was so good you passed out," Hanna teased him mercilessly.54Please respect copyright.PENANAV2PEVwDI74
54Please respect copyright.PENANAbsKM6bfF9H
Ethan let out a muffled coughed, trying his hardest not to laugh with a mouth full of water. He swallowed then coughed again.54Please respect copyright.PENANAw1FAloNswL
54Please respect copyright.PENANAPj3fW0CVEY
Hanna frowned slightly. "Alright, no more jokes."54Please respect copyright.PENANAhgR8sdg4Jw
54Please respect copyright.PENANAT7BfmYoRne
"I'm fine," Ethan replied before finishing off the bottle.54Please respect copyright.PENANAnaOViLk03W
54Please respect copyright.PENANA74gLDbT69a
Hanna grabbed the first aid kit and set it on the bed. "I want to check your ankle, okay?"54Please respect copyright.PENANAjwoxDOJeVE
54Please respect copyright.PENANAM03w7AB919
"Yeah." Ethan moved his leg up on to the bed.54Please respect copyright.PENANASj4ri29ppZ
54Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q0pAecnJd
Hanna peeled off the poorly applied bandage carefully. The good news was it didn't look infected. The bad news was that it was still bleeding. She noted the wound was healing at the rate she'd expect from a normal Terran, definitely lacking the healing boost that her injuries had gotten.54Please respect copyright.PENANAI9kjOV4rDa
54Please respect copyright.PENANADsS6LEtSSl
"I'll need to clean this," Hanna concluded.54Please respect copyright.PENANA9dxPoonO71
54Please respect copyright.PENANAAuE8dLKykc
"I already did that," Ethan grumbled.54Please respect copyright.PENANAp4RqpaMaXC
54Please respect copyright.PENANAlRqaDZ8B46
"You didn't do a good enough job," Hanna responded. "I'll be right back." Ethan only nodded in response.54Please respect copyright.PENANAvNuUQzOAH3
54Please respect copyright.PENANAg7ekaOoJEc
Hanna got a wet cloth and fresh bandages. She dabbed at the wound, trying to get the dirt out. He jerked his leg back with a grimace and she stopped. "Sorry. Did you take some of the painkillers?"54Please respect copyright.PENANAsMndxbIX7P
54Please respect copyright.PENANAk5vR4FzM5U
"Yes," he lied. He didn't want any. The pain was the only other thing keeping the full force of the heat out of his head. It could already feel overwhelming as it was and he didn't want to find out how much stronger it could get.54Please respect copyright.PENANA71B9jHYTJa
54Please respect copyright.PENANAZSlviJ1ZRb
"Do you want more?" Hanna asked.54Please respect copyright.PENANAIJWjhq4o8S
54Please respect copyright.PENANAClg2lASfop
"No, just get it over with," Ethan said, readjusting his leg.54Please respect copyright.PENANAaxYx6Y8H0W
54Please respect copyright.PENANAN4JIbJvsRa
Hanna finished cleaning the wound. She taped it back together with fresh bandages, hoping it would stop bleeding once he stopped using it. She handed Ethan the cloth so he could wipe off some of the other dirt off his skin before heading to the kitchen for a glass of water. By the time she got back, he was already in the bed and from the look of him, half asleep too. She set the glass on the table, next to the empty water bottle, and sat down on the bed.54Please respect copyright.PENANARFtiQkPqNj
54Please respect copyright.PENANAYQRRYru9Oy
Hanna started thinking about her next move when Ethan started pulling her into the bed. She was easily persuaded into getting under the warm covers with him. When she did, he immediately pulled her in close to him.54Please respect copyright.PENANAmiL8STsvH4
54Please respect copyright.PENANAaPGDxDbiaD
Hanna was a bit startled. Sex, she'd been expecting that, everyone knew Charax men got extremely horny in heat. Cuddles, not so expected. She didn't mind, even though it wasn't usually her thing.54Please respect copyright.PENANAI2n43ujht3
54Please respect copyright.PENANA6l2sZY0nt6
It's not like I got a brochure about Charax, she thought in amusement. This day had been nothing but surprising to her, she figured she should almost start expecting the unexpected. She wondered what else she didn't know about heat. Maybe the rapid healing was a part of that. While she was here and he was still awake, she might as well ask him. She twisted around to face him.54Please respect copyright.PENANAFqXMpVbNMR
54Please respect copyright.PENANAB6qMeGSqGa
"My burns are gone," Hanna stated.54Please respect copyright.PENANAYkFsZxgiIS
54Please respect copyright.PENANAF2UAqaudrS
"What?" Ethan said groggily, moving her hair aside to check her neck. He repeatedly ran his fingers along the smooth skin where the collar had burned her, as if he couldn't believe what he was feeling. "How?"54Please respect copyright.PENANA3wPSHJhAsI
54Please respect copyright.PENANA1dO7TrLvT7
Hanna eyed him curiously. "You tell me."54Please respect copyright.PENANA90qw8gorWZ
54Please respect copyright.PENANAXOwQOfOdS0
Ethan stared at the area in disbelief, brushing his fingers along her neck. Then he yawned. "Let me sleep on this."54Please respect copyright.PENANAU1uXuNGg0l
54Please respect copyright.PENANAOjk3GxKGBq
Hanna gripped his hand. "If you're doing something and it's exhausting you then you need to stop. I can deal with some burns and bruises. You're in worse shape."54Please respect copyright.PENANAW7Rf7eOJZu
54Please respect copyright.PENANAOY5giF8jbv
"I'm not doing anything. I'm exhausted for a whole bunch of other reasons," Ethan explained. "Like having my blood stolen," he emphasized.54Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZusziSWFu
54Please respect copyright.PENANAANrlom0YJy
Hanna looked at him skeptically but didn't want to push the issue, seeing as his eyelids were already drooping. "Okay. Before you fall asleep, do you need anything else?"54Please respect copyright.PENANAlJR23VhdWb
54Please respect copyright.PENANAmmaYyk9IwM
"I need to know you're okay," Ethan mumbled, half-asleep.54Please respect copyright.PENANArlJnjIJee4
54Please respect copyright.PENANAENgOQstydQ
Hanna smiled at his request. "I'm much better than okay."54Please respect copyright.PENANASWjafZo0ve
54Please respect copyright.PENANAa6OiNBfK9B
She saw a slight smile grace his tired face.54Please respect copyright.PENANAgUFHKSLnrB
54Please respect copyright.PENANAIMQReibg3M
"If you're going to leave, you should do it before I wake up," Ethan mumbled, quieter than before.54Please respect copyright.PENANAvonakc4Q3v
54Please respect copyright.PENANAITBHKHXNix
Hanna had a puzzled look on her face. "I'm not going to leave."54Please respect copyright.PENANAnvUJrUP9nb
54Please respect copyright.PENANAnwlgD7QnH1
Ethan didn't respond, already asleep. Hanna relaxed next to him, watching him for a bit. Before long, she began to feel drowsy herself. It wasn't late in her mind but some sleep wouldn't hurt, it had been a long drive anyways. She yawned and let herself drift off in his arms.54Please respect copyright.PENANALBZMiv2sUc
