<em>Where is your bath, a basin that you can soak in cool water Tegan? </em><br/><br/>He looked at her with open eyes, full and exploring her features without ravishing her this time. For a moment those gray eye seemed all too human, and she could see worry in them. His arms held her close, trying to provide some comfort, but his skin did not cool down, its heat met her own and seemed to grow hotter in the process.<br/><br/><em>It.. it can be a side effect of being with me. I can ... overheat you, it can cause delirium, it can cause death. </em><br/><br/>He reached up, taking her chin and raising it so he could look at her , let her see his face as he spoke. Though the aroma still swirled around them, roses and sweat, pleasure and lust, it was no longer just his scent. It was theirs together and she could see him still breathing deeply, taking in the scent of what they had made together.<br/><br/><em>In time you will be able to control it, but ... I do not want anything happening to you Tegan, where is your bath, just to be safe. </em><br/><br/>He had not grown soft against her, still turgid, still aroused. he was focusing away from that, focusing on anything but the scent and touch of her body before him. He was worried that if they did not break apart he would take her again, and then again after that. Something about her spurred him on, wanting to enter and break her open. She had wished for a companion, not for a demon to devour her from within her own pleasure. He tried to remember that, tried to keep that in the front of his mind. It was becoming more difficult as the time began to pass.<br/><br/>He leaned over, a soft bite at the corner of her jaw, a nibble of skin at the soft of the neck. He licked of flesh and bit again, soft bites, tugging at her, competing for her attention. Get her in the bath, she will be able to cool down and he will not be threatened, was his best plan. But it was hard to tell if it was to protect her, or protect him?
