The sex felt weirdly familiar.  The men she had spent the last two years drowning her sorrows in had been nothing like William. She had no idea if Pace had any real commonalities with her lost love, but the animalistic way he fucked her, scraped his teeth against her skin, that was all something she had experienced before. It was something she missed, which made her feelings all the more complicated about this situation.<br/><br/>It didn't help that he felt<i>good</i>.  Fucking just to fuck usually felt some measure of pleasurable, but this was something else entirely.  He seemed to know just when to up the tension, when to grab her hair and pull, when to touch her aching skin.  Nora couldn't be sure what caused him to have this knowledge, other than the fact that she was certain he was not human and most likely very, very old. Thousands of years of practice would help any guy figure out the finer points of fucking a woman's brains out, right?<br/><br/>Her senses came slowly back to her, though the room still seemed heavy with the sexual energy they had just shared.  She nodded in response to him at first.<br/><br/>"It'll be something, alright..." Nora said as she began to pull herself free of him, adjusting and pulling back on her clothing. She was smiling, though there was something that echoed in her eyes.  The smile did not quite reach them. She went back to the pint they had abandoned, though it was mostly melted cream now, and took a bite. Even if regret had already started to pull at her, at least the sex had been good and the ice cream...Was nearly as good.<br/><br/>"So what happens next?  Do guardians of leylines have cellphones?  Magical beepers?  Do you page me Buffy-style when you need something or...<i>other things</i>?" She arched a brow, turning back to face him with the spoon in her mouth again. She still had a job to do in the outside world, and now she almost wondered if she could use this new business arrangement to her advantage. If only she had the ability to fling demons and dark creatures back into the voids they crawled out of, it would have made her chosen job much easier.
