Jade relaxed her body against Damon's and fell asleep listening to his soft humming and the feel of his hand stroking her hair. She couldn't remember ever feeling the way she did now, but she was beginning to like it.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Vivian clutched River's shoulders tightly, her nails digging into his skin. In some small part of her mind, she knew that she shouldn't be doing this with a man she barely knew, but she shoved the thought aside and focused on the way he was tormenting her senses.<br/><br/>She dragged him up to her and bit back a loud moan when he entered her roughly. A few wild moments later, though they felt like an eternity, they both collapsed on the floor breathing erratically. River rolled so that she was on top of him, and smiled when she cradled her head in the hollow of his shoulder. He held back the urge to claim her completely then and there, but he was unsure of how long he would be able to wait before claiming her again.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Astar led Lillianna to his room and drew a bath for the both of them. His wounds were already beginning to heal, amd though he wanted to tear her clothes off and have his way with her, he knew she needed love and care.<br/><br/>He checked her wounds quickly, sealing them off and pressing gentle kisses to each spot he healed. "I love you." He said softly, picking her up and carrying her to the bath. "I don't deserve to feel such, but I do, sweet beautiful Lilly."<br/><br/>Lilly smiled up at him. He was a lit to e rough around the edges when it came to his relationship with her, but she could see in every move he made with her that there was something there. "I love you too Astar." She whispered. Then she laughed.<br/><br/>"What?" Astar deposited her into the tub and gave her a confused look.<br/><br/>She laughed again and took his hand as he joined her in the bath. "You've put me out of a job dear one." She smiled up at him. "Thanks."
