It was good that he didn't wait for a response, because she was too lazy for anything more than a grunt.  She had, indeed, forgotten that females bleed after their first sexual encounter.  It wasn't something stressed in their sex ed classes.  The school had split the boys and girls, dropping them into gender-divided classes to avoid awkward conversation and try to promote more discussion, but mostly the teacher had repeated that they should be abstinent, that they could get pregnant from the first sexual encounter, that because they were girls it was their responsibility to prevent pregnancy, not the boys', that if they were whores they'd become a living, breathing STD factory.  It was all rather unfair and embarrassing.  Surely someone had told her of bleeding after her first time.  She sighed in his arms.  At least she knew she was a virgin.  She hadn't been raped while trapped in a coma in that medical facility.<br/><br/>Bed sounded so good, and when Clancy cuddled her, she felt instantly warm and safe.  Bri snuggled further into him, content with him taking charge.  She needed someone in charge.  She always had.  Left to her own devices, she couldn't focus on a single task, never completed a project, rarely studied.  But Clancy had changed that the moment she had met him.  He always had a direction, and she trusted him.  He always had a task for her, and he had always pushed her to finish it.  Even in school, he helped her learn to study, made her do her homework, refused to let her distract him or herself until the work was finished.  He was so very task-oriented, and she appreciated that about him.  He had been the reason that she had brought her grades up from failing to passing and kept them there.<br/><br/>She turned her head to see his face as he spoke, turning just the top half of her body slightly in his arms.  "I want to know how to control this so I can help you do these things.  Just like school.  Help me learn how to do this.  I promise I'll do whatever it takes.  I can do this."  She smiled at him, face hopeful, eyes bright.  "You really are the better half of this relationship.  I know you don't believe it, but you are.  And I love you."  Bri leaned up and softly kissed his cheek, eyes closed, breathing in his scent, then snuggled back down against his body.  "And this is where I want to stay for the rest of my life.  With you."  She gripped his arms, hugging them to her body.  "Promise me something, Clancy."  She turned in his arms again, breasts rubbing against the dark hairs as she pulled herself up to look into his eyes.  "Promise me you won't ever leave me.  Promise me that I'm your forever."  The look in her eyes was terribly human and demanding, her old self before the accident peeking through the mask of animal instincts that had taken over.
