He didn't think she actually would make the call. His heart beating faster and faster as she did and was able to actually get away with it. He smiled, broad for what could happen...for what he imagined to happen.<br/><br/>“I've been around a while, I can actually cook...the thing is...I need to buy food.”<br/><br/>He laughed a little bit lifting a hand to caress her face as her fingers dance over his heavily scarred skin. His eyes met hers, and they lingered as she asked the last part. There was fear and excitement mixing in a potent cocktail in his core. Its been centuries since he has felt like this...with a human no less.<br/><br/>“Where were we indeed...?”<br/><br/>This would be the time of passionate sex, of holes in the walls and shattered lamps. But he couldn't bring himself for that. There was a connection here, but it wasn't iron...it was tungsten...damn near unbreakable. This would be something that if he walked away right now he wouldn't forget until the final battle took his life. He pulled her closer by the side of her shirt and brought his lips to hers in a brief passionate kiss.<br/><br/>...and then he paused. There were still questions....so many questions for both of them. There was something he wanted to get out of the way.<br/><br/>“Do you want to see them? My um...wings?”<br/><br/>She would ask eventually. Maybe not tonight, or in a week but it would happen eventually and it was always at a time when it was just not a good idea. Now was a good time, she would be able to see, cement that he was what he said he was.<br/><br/>He was nervous...seemed even bigger than him getting naked or even having sex with her. This was something deeply personal to him. He would be able to talk all he wants, even punch through a brick wall. But what he was going to show her was something that would remove all doubt...period. Not that she couldn't tell from her own power, her touch. He was different...she knew that. He saw no doubt in her eyes...which is what drove him to ask first.<br/><br/>He waited for her to respond....nervous as hell.
