Ascended to Greatness

BASTIEN i am the remedy to your heart, "Then I am glad I could beat my faceless competitor." Bastien smiled, easily pulling Rexanna into his arms as she moved the blanket over them. He couldn't feel the warmth, not in the same way, but...he knew it was there, and it was hard to feel anything but warm in his heart when Rexanna smiled at him like that. She told him she loved it. Immediately there was a response on his lips, two parts the same and one part new, but it was wildly inappropriate, not true, not yet. Instead he held her close and kissed the top of her head. "I am glad, Rexanna. Whenever you want, ask me to do this again, yes? Though...maybe wait a few days, for your neck to heal and blood to reappear." He let his fingers just lightly trace over the bruises forming on her skin, licked the last of her blood from them as he brought his hand back to his face. "You should rest, now. I will make you something to eat in the morning." After all, it seemed rude to bite and just leave. And Bastien was content to stay, holding a beautiful woman in a nice bed after such a wonderful experience, what could there be to dislike? I am the carbon collected. I am the printed upon your stars.
