Run This Town (Rory+Ishu)

She breathed onto his forehead and into the crest of his hair as his hand wandered up on her legs and teased her. She smiled and kissed his forehead, letting her thumb circle on the head of his erection and pull away as a way to tease him back. She knew from his reaction and his cry of strained pleasure that she liked when he touched him there and she didn't know why, but she liked seeing him like this. A man nearly brought to his knees from a simple touch. Were all men truly this simple?


The girl gasped when some warm dripped to the side of her thumb. She looked down and saw it, a clear-white liquid barely dribbling out of the head and onto the side of her thumb. She was confused but wasn't sure how or what to ask.

Her thoughts were cut off as he groped her breast, her eye closing contentedly and her hand squeezing him and moving down the shaft, slowly.

Cade was almost positive that he'd break into pieces if they continued like this for much longer, soft swirling touches of her thumb and the eventual slow movement of her hand over him - everything inside had reached higher and higher levels of heat, leaving him gasping at the difficulty in keeping himself restrained. But every time he thought about going further... he stopped.

There was something very specific and different about the anatomy here and it, like everything else was not only something he'd never tried before...it was taboo. They'd already gone too far for anything he'd done to put him amongst the brethren again, to hold himself in their ranks and be accepted by them if they ever knew or found out. But the final piece had yet to be laid... the ultimate affront to everything it meant to BE a Gamatom. Biology no longer held him in place - more than anything, his body and how he was reacting towards her was the loudest supporter of pushing further and he was no longer afraid of hurting her. There was no going back and he would be irreversibly changed by this.

And he'd never wanted anything more in his life. Not because it was something he felt he needed right then or something he could take from her and own her. After the time they'd spent together, after everything she'd shown him, the way she'd opened his eyes and quieted the beast inside him, he wanted to love her. To show her and express it to her. To be closer to her than he'd ever been.

So, kissing her deeply once more, he drew back just enough to position himself over her, pausing a moment to remove the last piece of clothing from her and running his hand from her calf to her waist and breast in one unending trip, uninterrupted by the impeding garment that had once possessed her. Removing the rest of his own pants, sharp angles and curves coming into view, the full bush of his pubic hair crowning his bobbing cock, unhindered by the restraining fabric.

Then he was lowering himself down, wedging his hips between her legs. His cock, released from her grip by the change in position, rubbed up against the top of her peach, the head nuzzling just under her belly button and leaving a small drizzle of excited drool on her skin. Arms, muscled yet lean, stood like pillars, propping him up on his hands resting on the bed beside her shoulders as he rose up to look down at her.

Dark eyes, heated with flames that threatened to engulf him, tempered by the love he felt at the sight of her, her blue eyes and white hair that had become more familiar to him than his own features. Cade's shoulder muscles rippled as he bent down to capture her lips with his, the room filled with heated smacks as their mouths locked in a passionate dance. Drawing his hips back slightly, his cock moved to the edge of her groin before sliding off and under her as he moved his hips back, the tip nuzzling at her warm entrance.

Her hand moved back and and slowed towards the head, but stopped when she gripped nothing but air. She looked up at him as he was no longer in her hand and She saw him move ontop of her. She wiggled her body and lifted when she needed to as he removed her dress, the fabric cascading quietly across her skin before releasing her figure and showing every naked inch. She smiled up at him and touched her hands on his upper arms, her fingers stroking the skin over the firm muscles.

She closed her eyes when she felt him on her, moving down from below her stomach and grazing over her petaled form. She swallowed hard and tried to relax, scared about what was to come. She opened her eyes and saw him, his eyes were so warm and needing, wanting, loving. Ishu touched a hand to his face and they kissed as he hovered against her. She spared not a drop of passion as they kissed, her arms looping around his neck and shoulders.

There was no going back for them. The Gamatoms would kill him, both of them, if they found out. She would have to do everything to help him keep this a secret. If they found out... she couldn't live without him. After this, she knew she would need him just to breath.

The press of her lips and the feel of her arms around him silenced that last bit of caged uncertainty inside. With their lips still locked, Cade moved his hands below, one directing his cock in the right position, the other cradling her bottom as he gently eased himself in where his body told him to go. At least, he would have eased inside if he didn't almost immediately meet a physical resistance that kept him from going very far.

At first, there was a moment of confusion and a hint of embarrassment - maybe this wasn't the right hole? - but looking down between them he was aware that this was indeed the vaginal hole he sat perched with just the tip inside. So, assuming that he just didn't fit yet and seeking that blissful reward at the end, he pushed his hips forward, hardened cock thrust firmly against her opening. There was the sensation of something coming loose and he let out a triumphant gasp as he was suddenly surrounded by her, warm flesh enveloping him in a tight embrace.

He only stopped drawing his hips back to thrust into her again when the smell of blood hit him and he looked down at her, concerned.

She frowned when she felt him hit something. It didn't hurt too much, but it felt weird. Her arms tightened around him as he pushed harder, a few tears sliding down the sides of her face as she felt something pop inside of her and a tense feeling as he filled her with his presence. She didn't know how to react to this. It was beautiful, but terrifying like the rest of it had been. She was sad, but happy. She kissed the side of his face and winced as his erection pulled away.

She relaxed a bit, grunting softly and wiping the tears off of her face. He didn't move again and she looked up at him, her one visible eye reddened from the awkward pain. Ishu smiled and touched his face, What's wrong? She didn't want him to worry, not too much anyway. She just wanted him to be gentle if anything. The fact that he probably didn't know anything about her feminine organs was completely lost on her at this moment considering how intimate they had been that night.

Something was wrong... She was crying and there was blood... What had he done?

Cade wasn't a complete stranger to the female genitalia - Gamatoms not only tended to eat women's bodies 'till the bones were clean, but they also had a habit of getting creative when it came to expressing their hate for the female reproductive organs while "playing" with their food. The point was, despite being familiar with the inside and outside of the flesh, he'd never encountered it in this setting before.

So, when he lifted himself up on his knees, pulling himself the rest of the way out of her and seeing the small stain of blood on the bed sheets, he immediately assumed he'd done something wrong. Oh, fuck! He'd wounded her! And he thought he'd been doing it right... That was where he instinctively knew his cock was suppose to go and the smells and taste of her had further helped that natural assumption along... Maybe it was because he was Gamatom...? He already knew that it was unnatural for him to be feeling this way towards her. Maybe they really weren't supposed to be doing this? He'd broken her...

Then she asked that question and despite the tears he still saw in her eye, she seemed calm, although a little nervous. She didn't appear to be in pain.

"Ishu...are you alright? I...the last thing I ever want to do is hurt you." His hand moved up to cradle the side of her face and he looked down once more at her wounded peach. The blood was no longer flowing from it from what he could smell and see, but he was no longer touching her with his dick either - and there was a slight reddish tone to the skin of his cock now and he could feel her blood on him, but still it wasn't that much.

She smiled up at him as he panicked, concerned for more than just her well being. Yes, it just hurts. She reached up and touched his face, It is ok, this is normal. I have... never, you know... She blushed, I have never had sex before. I am a virgin. Her thumb stroked over his cheek repeatedly, Girls have something called a "hymen" when they have not had sex. The man's penis has to break it for her not to be a virgin any more, and for the sex to be, well, sex. She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. You didn't do anything wrong- I'm ok. The bleeding is normal the first time and sometimes a few more times after that. I'm just... it hurts and I am overwhelmed with emotions.

Ishu sat up and leaned back against a pillow, We can stop, I mean, I would like to... um, She blushed again as she looked at him and smiled, I want this. I... I love you- and I want to share this with you. She didn't want to tell him that she loved him until they finished, but saying it now seemed right. She loved him and nothing would change that. She wanted to stay with him forever.

The explanation given by that sweet, echoey voice in his head was a tremendous relief - he hadn't known about that. He knew what a virgin was as he'd been called that himself once upon a time. But this...hymen and bleeding business was new. Needless to say, he was extremely glad that it hadn't been something he'd done to her and that it was a part of the normal process that she expected. Although more experienced with sex than she was, their roles reversed briefly as he "learned" from her about what her body was currently going through.

Then she was giving him the opportunity to stop and he knew that despite the first impulse to give into that because of his still present uncertainty, the fires still burned brightly inside him. Ishu helped him make the final decision as her internal voice said those words, though. Words that instantly brightened up his eyes and made a soft smile come to his lips. Things he'd thought to himself but hadn't yet been sure enough to say. To hear them from her...

Still smiling, he cradled her neck, fingers in her warm soft hair and thumb at her cheek and rested his forehead against hers, the passionate light returning and filled with that tender glow as he looked down at her. "I love you too..." Even more glorious to say them aloud to her and he laughed softly in joy, angling his head down to kiss her, soft at first, lips tenderly pulling at hers as he continued to touch her in small, silent ways. Then growing with the fires that still heated him, his head turning to angle this way and then that, drinking her in, breathing her in with greedy lungs.

His body moved to position himself again between her legs, kissing her as he did so, gentle as he moved slow to re-enter her body, everything in him alert for her reactions even as he shivered at the feeling of filling her again. His hands moved down to cup her buttocks as he slowly began to move in and out of her, velvety inner walls embracing him and causing him to release her lips in a heated gasp.

Her features lit up like the rays of the sun when he told her that he loved her too. She put both of her hands on his face and returned every kiss and every drop of passion, if not more. He made her so happy that she was bursting at the seams. They shared breath, at least they did in her opinion. Each kiss needed less and less separation. The only time they came apart was when their heads moved and they didn't want to crush each others' noses. They slowed though as he moved to reenter her. She moved her hands down along his shoulders and squeezed his biceps, purring against his lips as he kissed her tenderly.

Her nails dug in briefly as he pushed all of his length into her, her walls collapsing in around him without a second thought. After he filled her with his flesh, his pubic hair bristling against her lips, the pain wasn't quite as bad as he pulled back and continued forward again. Her chest rose and fell with each heated breath, her legs reacting to their connection. One leg snaked around one of Cades and the other nestled against his side.

Ishu's voice moaned, the sound echoing around them both as their mouths separated as they shared the same heated gasp. Her hands clasped onto his face and she looked up at him, staring into his eyes as happy tears filled her eyes and she smiled. With another thrust her eye closed part way as she let her hips thrust forward gently and slowly. A moan quivered from her throat, her back arching and forcing her body closer to his. He felt so good; with her, inside of her, and even just near her!

She lifted her chin and stroked her cheek against his, breathing into his ear and into the lining of his hair. Her hands moved roughly into his hair briefly before wrapping her arms around his shoulders and holding his body closer to hers, letting the thin sheen of sweat between them mix.

It was like they fit together perfectly, her plush, warm body opening around him then curling over to keep him locked in place and he loved that almost as much as he did the feeling of being deep inside her, connected to her on a physical level. Not to mention the fact that her peach itself felt incredible around his hardened length, every push and pull causing a delightfully tight friction, her petals blossoming to welcome him in and then tightening to make him him stay.

And more sounds came from her spurring him on and heating him up, the trusting smile on her face making him bend down and kiss her again amidst his slow and easy thrusts. Sweat began to gather on them both as his hips naturally sped up, the strokes going deep and then bobbing his hips between her thighs in a repetitive rocking motion, filling her and leaving her just enough to experience more of that blessed friction.

His breathing increased as he continued, loving the feel of her softness cushioning him, so close it was like they became one, pleasure coursing through him like an electrical current. Moans and soft, pleading growls left his throat as he quickened his pace again, slowing only to grind against her pelvis. "Ishu..." he moaned, almost as if he were begging her for something inarticulate and yet glorifying in saying her name. Inside a very familiar pressure began to build and he sped towards it while slowing before reaching it, both wanting that ecstasy and yet at the same time not wanting this to ever end.

As he sped up and thrust further into her, her flower suckled on him tightly as if trying to suck the life out of him if he even considered leaving its warmth. Her spine curled away from him as her voice rolled from her lips, moaning her claim to pleasures his body and soul caused her. Her toes began to curl against his skin, her legs rubbing on him and clutching against his skin as her hips bucked against his thrusts.

She began to realize that every time she moved against him the pleasure increase. She kept it up, any pain that might have been caused during their love making no longer noticeable to her. The pleasure and the warmth that was exploding in her chest and the tunnel between her legs as natural fluids continued to lubricate each movement.

The voice echoed, gasping his name over and over as their bodies clashed. She lifted her chin and rest it on his shoulder as she gasped for air and her hands traveled frantically all over his back and arms. She was so close to being somewhere with him that she would never go with anyone else.

She was so wet, several times, lost in his passion, he blinked in astonishment to feel that warm wetness between her legs, like an inviting mouth suckling on him. It wasn't just the feel of her inside but her body on the outside as well, not just something he was sticking his dick into. She moved with him, danced with him, her voice singing out his name in his head even as he panted and moaned hers, just as actively striving for that golden ring on the horizon as he was. And Cade wanted to take her there.

Sweat glistened on his back and shoulders as he pumped his hips into her, her own rising up like the waves to collide against him like against a rocky shore, her cries for each movement acting as a soundtrack to their oceanic tumble. And his dick grew thick inside her, the internal pressure building in his gut as the end drew within sight, his balls tightening as he sped up and his voice ripped from his throat.

Shoving deep inside her for one final time as the world exploded around them, his body shivering and steaming as each pulse of liquid left the tip of his cock buried within her, to fill her up with his creamy seed, his eyes closed against the harsh bliss of it all.

As he sped up, she did not think she could keep up with him- keep up with their bodies colliding harshly together as the animals inside them neared the finish line. But she did. Her spine curled and snapped back against him every time he thrust forward into her body. She gasped another hot breath, her nails scrapping down his back as her hand slipped on the subtle sheen of sweat on his back.

She could feel him inside her, building up as the muscles inside of her flexed, almost milking him.

Her head tilted back as her voices blended together, moaning out from beneath him as the flower between her legs clenched on him and a (metaphorical) light enveloped their bodies. The skin on her bones trembled uncontrollably, her voice vibrating in his skull with soft purrs and subtle moans.

Ishu gasped from underneath him, stroking her hands up his back and holding him as she brushed her face against his, Cade~. She kissed on his earlobe and brushed her nose down his, breathing onto his face as the light surrounding them began to fade.

Panting while he lay on top of her, their bodies still joined, he smiled to hear her say his name, and nuzzled her back before kissing her tenderly, filled with a content and coaxing passion. His whole body felt wired with a pleasurable hum and inside his head, her heart beat meshed with his to fill him with a pulsating thickness drenching every bone and muscle. With a soft sigh, he released her lips and wrapped his arms around her, drawing himself out of her body and pulling her to lay against his chest as he rolled onto his back.

Hands idly ran through her hair as he let his eyes wander over her face and body. "That was...the most amazing thing I've ever experienced in my life..." He murmured in his raspy voice. And it was the truth, amazement filling every word; from start to finish, from the very first strawberry filled kiss, exploring her and loving her body had rocked him to his very core. Nothing else would ever compare and all other joys he'd ever experienced that did not involve or directly relate to her, paled in comparison.

Briefly, he closed his eyes as the worry and implications of what this would eventually lead to crashed down upon him, but taking a deep breath, he pushed it all away. Tomorrow. There would be time for that tomorrow. Tonight, the real world could go fuck itself for all he cared. While he held her in his arms, nothing else mattered.

Opening his eyes he let his fingers swirl lazily over her back and gave her another reassuring smile. "Did you enjoy it?" an obvious question with an obvious answer, but he was mostly concerned about the first entry. Around the middle of this thing, he'd completely lost himself to her as they became one and he wanted to make sure that despite his own fears about the dawn, that this would not be something that she'd regret.

Pleasure hummed gently over every inch of her body. She kissed on his face as he rolled over with her and cradled her against his chest. She brushed her face against his neck and wrapped her legs around one of his. She looked up at him as he spoke and she smiled, agreeing with his statement and purring against his neck. She lay her cheek against his collar bone and sighed, hot breath cooling to a content warmth.

She stroked her hand over his chest and ribcage, her voice humming inside him as she celebrated idly.

Ishu looked up at her lover and smiled, Of course. It was...amazing. She leaned up and kissed him to assure him, I love you. She pulled away so she could see his face, taking in the features of the man she loved so fully. I would not change it for anything. She nuzzled her face against his neck and hugged him against her cooling body.

Those words again. He loved to hear them and her soft body pressing tightly to his as she hugged him, had him relaxing even more. No, of course she didn't regret it. They'd had the chance to stop after that first entry and she'd been more than willing to continue then.

"I love you, Ishu..." Lean, muscled arms wrapped around her and held her close, feeling her breasts squish and flatten against him as he tightened his hold before relaxing with another placated sigh. Then he laid quietly with her as their bodies cooled, lightly touching her in small ways and wishing to stay with her like this forever, imagining life as it would be if it were just the two of them in this house with nothing forcing them to leave.

Dawn came before he knew it, bug noises morphing into their bird forms as the sky outside the window brightened with lavender purples and navy blues. And with it came those same worries. Cade thought about the brethren, knowing that their nightly revelries were probably dying down now, curling up together in drunken, sweat and blood covered naked piles. At least that's how things would normally be. He missed the hunt last night and no doubt Quin was pissed about it. The Gamatom leader was probably still awake, growing angrier every second that Cade did not show up to explain himself.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, finally pushed to rise from the bed, gently setting Ishu aside with a lingering caressing touch as he sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the window. There was a few moments when he thought about the fantasies he'd entertained in the night...of living here with her, as if the house were their's. Rising in the mornings like the humans did, tending the plants and trees the way that they had once been under the care of the orchard farmers. Cooking breakfast together, with peaches, strawberries, tomatoes and anything else he could think of - he didn't know if these things would really go well together, but they all tasted good to him and cooking made things taste better; it made a sort of logical sense to him.

Thought about showering with her. Thought about reading with her here, letting the sun dance over the sky on lazy afternoons, nothing but the sounds of wildlife to worry about outside the window. He'd go out hunting at night and come back and make love to her again... and they'd sleep in each other's arms until dawn. It seemed perfect and the pack would not know where he was and could not bother them again.

But the fantasy was exactly that, pure fantasy. Because he knew that she had responsibilities to her family and...despite loving her and wanting to be with her always, breaking from the gang was almost just as taboo as their sex had been. It was not something he was ready to do, especially when there was a large possibility of other Gamatoms invading upon their world, like the rogue had. There were other traveling packs just like Quin's had once been and he could not fight them all off on his own if they found them. They could not just hide away and forget the Gamatoms existed, as much as he wanted to. And he could not betray his brethren...his only family and connection to the world. Other than Ishu who was like the sun in his life now.

"We have to go back," he murmured reluctantly, turning to glance at her, touching her thigh in a familiar and tender way. He had no idea what he was going to say to Quin or the others - and they would not be satisfied with just any answer - and he did not know how he was going to hide this from them; he felt like he'd been turned inside out. It was a very free and liberating feeling, but he also felt exposed. They would know...they would see it in his face, what he'd done and they would...smell and taste it on him... Any planning he was locked up in was weighed down and pressurized by his mourning for the bliss and innocent abandon of yesterday.

Ishu fell asleep on top of him, completely at ease like the world had never once weighed down on her back.

She did not dream that night. Visions did not meet with her. There were no screams, dancing bugs or laughing children. Just silence and a sunny warmth.



Mostly asleep, she felt herself moving and buried her face into a pillow. She frowned and breathed in, missing the scents that had burrowed into her nostrils while she slept. His voice caused her to stir and open her eyes. Ishu smiled over at him and reached over, touching on his lower back. Good morning. She pushed herself up and moved over to him, touching her hands on his shoulders and kissing the back of his neck.

He said they had to go and, while she did not like it, she knew he was right. She knew he had to face the music- to bring himself in front of the Gamatoms. She wondered... if there was a way around it. They needed to give a reason why he was missing. She rest her lips against his skin as she pondered, the subtle rays of the sun grayed out by the old, faded curtains.

I have an idea. She looked up at the back of his head, It could... buy us some time. She did not know how well the Gamatoms sense of smell was, but if her plan worked, it could keep them together for a little longer. Or make the events leading to his death shorter.

The feel of her close to him, lips and hands against his back almost had him agreeing with her 'good morning' statement, if not for everything that still plagued his mind. Breathing deeply, when she revealed that she had an idea and her further statement that it could buy them time, the crease of worry in his features disappeared as a smile spread on his lips. Turning around to face her, Cade looked her over with dark eyes, wrapping one hand possessively around her waist.

"Oh? I'm definitely open to anything, right about now, especially more time," he said, shaking his head and letting out a raspy laugh as he gestured at the window. "I'm already late and it's going to take us still yet more time to get back to the city... I'm at a loss to come up with anything substantial that could keep me away for so long...other than the truth, I mean, heh. Tell me what you're thinking, my love. I need a miracle." He took her hand in his and kissed her knuckles, implying by the gesture and his statement that she was an angel able and ready to bless him.

Ishu smiled up at him as he put an arm around her, leaning against him. She wrapped her arms around him and rest her cheek against his collar bone. Well, we were attacked yesterday and... I mean, wouldn't they like proof of that? She looked up at him so she could watch his face as she continued, His body is still outside. You could take his... head...? She chewed on her lip as she suggested a gruesome thing to him. It wasn't like her but hardship could really change a person. Wanting to protect someone with your entire soul could also change a person.

I can do it all for you- I can. She sat up from him and grabbed all of her hair, braiding it and tying to end to keep it all together. The girl gave him another reassuring smile, her skin dotted with a pink blush and small love marks from the night before.

Cade's eyes widened when she mentioned the attack and the smile that had been edging on his lips stopped briefly to remember it. Yes! He'd completely forgotten about the rogue! The man was dead now, so whatever version of the story he wanted to come up with to tell the brethren, it'd be his word against a corpse. But what exactly could he say about it that they'd believe?

There was a bit of a sobering thought to remember what Ishu did to kill the Gamatom and what it had done to her as a result, but it passed like a cloud cover over the sun. She was special and she was his - they belonged to each other now and she would not hurt him. More than that, it was a bit comforting to know that she could defend herself if pushed into a corner, and he only hesitated over celebrating that fact by remembering that she usually passed out for a while after using her powers in such an extreme way - the fruit picking hadn't been a problem, but when she panicked it seemed to drain her...or something. It still wasn't something he was really sure how to ask about.

And she was definitely eager to help, putting her life on the line as much as his was, and he gave her a reassuring smile at her offer. "Well, yes, they probably would be very pleased to see the results of a kill like that. Rogues are typically considered insane and looked down upon for breaking away from the gangs - it's not natural for Gamatoms to wander off on their own." The irony made him want to laugh, briefly. "And lots of them go crazy - if they aren't already - from spending so much time alone. That guy definitely was." He scratched the back of his head and glanced down at his shoulder, where the other had bitten him. The chunk of flesh Spiegel had removed from his body had completely healed and there was nothing more than a slightly discolored spot like a shadow on his skin.

"But, the point is, if I bring them his head and tell them what he is, they'll most certainly be happy to see him dead. I just don't know how I'd fit him into a story that would account for time loss... or the smell of you on me." Cade gave her a lustful smile. Even inhaling her dried juices and feminine sweat covering his body, HE loved it and felt like a million bucks for wearing it, but it would be like instant hate if the brethren caught a whiff of it. "A shower might help... And I suppose if I told them about getting wounded..."

Ishu nodded slowly, You could tell them that you fought him for hours and he hurt you badly, so you found shelter for the night? She kissed him on the cheek before standing up, There is a shower in there, she smiled at him, you can clean up while I get your things ready. She leaned forward and kissed him again before leaning away, picking up his shirt and pants and wandering out of the room and down the stairs.

It was a bit chilly, considering she was completely nude. She had considered at least putting on her undergarments for this but she didn't want them to get dirty.

She opened the front door and shivered briefly before walking out into the grass and heading to the side of the house. She set his clothes down and walked, carefully, forward until she found the rogue's head. She knelt down and turned it over, looking down at the crazed eyes of the dead beast. Her hand moved up and moved hair from its forehead. She chewed on her lower lip as she built up the courage...


With a gardening tool in hand, she placed the tip of the blade on the bone that had been cut clean by the shovel the night before. She wedged it just the right way and pressed down as hard as she could. Unfortunately, she didn't have a lot of muscle so it didn't go very well. She swept her tongue over her upper lip and tried hacking at the bone. Eventually small bits of bone fell apart, the end result looking more realistically torn off. Content with this, she continued to desecrate the flesh around his neck by cutting off chunks, destroying the clean cut on one side.

Once satisfied, she grabbed Cades clothes and silently apologized before stabbing the rogues body in the stomach, her face contorting to the smells and sounds. The blood wasn't very fresh but it was blood. She picked up his shirt and stuck part of it into the wound, spreading blood over his clothing.

He watched her with a fond smile - and not without a bit of appreciative leering at her backside - as she left the room, scooping up his clothes before she was gone. While not in the bloodlust, Cade wasn't usually aware of the heartbeats around him, the sound still present but taking a back seat while he was not in a primitive state of mind. When she drifted out of sight and he heard the front door, he felt a small bit of anxiety that she wasn't with him and going outside unprotected. But then her heart... he could still hear it, like a comforting pulse in his veins, totally separate from his own which still beat a bit faster with the current fear that something would be out there waiting to harm her.

It was another new and exciting thing that she awakened inside him and he stood from the bed and stretched before sauntering over to the bathroom, her heart responding to the chilly morning air filling his head with it's soothing, feminine pulse. There was a large window in the bathroom and it let a liberal amount of light in through the iced glass. Cade glanced into the mirror as he passed it and had to do a double take, his pupils dilating defensively to see himself in the light of morning.

There was nothing physically different about him, from what he could tell, but every time he let his eyes trace over his own strong, lean features, he got the feeling that he was looking at a stranger. A smirk broke the spell as he flashed his own teeth at himself, shaking his head lightly as he turned towards the shower, twisting the knobs until they responded by shooting out a stream of water.

Stepping in, there was a ripple running through him to feel the cold water, but other than that, there wasn't a reaction as chilled water continued to coat his body. Finding the soap and shampoo that Ishu had used, there wasn't much of either left, but he paused a moment or two to revel in the smell that now reminded him of her being freshly cleaned. Again, as he used the small bit to scrape at the residue of her on his skin, he thought about those fantasies with a sense of longing.

By the time he was finished and cleaned as much as he could be, he'd abandoned the thoughts once more, stepping from the porcelain tub and unperturbed as he dripped all over the floor. Her smells still surrounded him as he went back into the bedroom, so he was unsure whether or not he'd fully gotten it off of himself, but the worry was a distant thing as he approached the bed and looked down at the dried and darkened stain of her blood.

Running a hand through his damp hair, unintentionally spiking it, he smiled fondly to remember the night before as he let his hand hover over the spot. Opening himself up, he "reached" out to Ishu's heart again and found warmth in it's presence echoing inside him, seeming louder the closer she was. What was she doing? Getting the head shouldn't take so long...he'd kicked it right inside the door beside the body.

She finished decorating his shirt and started on his pants. She started to shove part of his pants into the hole in his stomach when an air pocket filled up and blood squirt out. Ishu gasped as blood sprayed up on her cheek, chest and stomach. Her hand reached up and tried to get blood off of her cheek but only made it worse since there was already blood on her hand. She sighed and wiped some of the blood on her arm, spreading the rank scent on herself even more.

Aggravated, she stuffed his pants into the body further and took it out, spread it around and stuffed in a different part of the pants. Once she felt satisfied with her work, she folded the clothes roughly and picked up the head. She took everything to the car and got the trunk open. She put everything in the trunk and shut it. Her hands left prints on the lid. She chewed on her lower lip and used her elbows to wipe the blood away.

Feeling satisfied and victorious, Ishu hurried back up into the house and made her way up the stairs, Cade? She pushed open the bedroom door with her clean forearm and smiled when she saw him standing over the bed, Um... I am going to clean up. She couldn't go home covered in blood and she didn't want to get blood in his nice car.

When he heard her push through the door, he turned to look at her, his eyes widening to see the blood now decorating her smooth skin. "What--?" he started to ask before comprehension dawned on him. At first, Cade automatically assumed that his worst fears had come true - that something had gotten her out there, despite him not hearing a ripple of fear in her heartbeat. But then the scent of it and her shy smile registered to him and he realized right away that it wasn't hers but Spiegel's blood.

The body. His clothes. Of course. If the brethren were to reasonably accept a story such as this, it'd not only make sense for his clothes to be dirtier than they were - or rather, had been a few minutes ago - but it'd also get rid of any residual scent of her juices left on him. The girl was not only amazingly beautiful - she was a genius.

His expression relaxing to one of understanding, Cade still gave her a sympathetic grin as he ran his hand through his damp hair once more. When she'd first walked through the door, he'd thought... But now seeing that she wasn't hurt and just "painted" he felt something else stir within, her smooth, pale skin taking on a new erotic look when paired with blood.

"Thank you for doing that..." he said, his raspy voice slightly laughing as he neared her, arms seeking to envelope her despite the gore on her body. "I didn't realize what you meant when you first offered; if I had, I would have done it myself to save you the trouble."

He was closer now, towering over her, breathing deeply, hands gentle as they moved over her sides and his lips smiling and brushing lightly at her forehead. "You should let me help you clean up..to thank you..." he said softly with a bit of heat entering his voice.

His thumb hovering near her pert breast swirled over her nipple in a small unnoticeable gesture before drawing away and he smirked lewdly down at her, his blood heating already just to touch her naked skin again. His other hand went behind her where her hair still clung to it's braid, fingers gently playing with the ends of her hair as they swirled over her lower back just above her buttocks. His body was already responding to the contact, his dick growing semi-hard, but he did not intend to have sex with her again - he just wanted to touch her, MORE.

Bending down to kiss her, unmindful of the blood on her cheek, his hands both caressed her body, smoothing down over her buttocks before lifting underneath her and opening her legs around him. Cradling her against his body and continuing to kiss her neck - their bodies pressed close together and getting himself dirty as well - he carried her to the bathroom, humming lightly in his throat to feel the warmth between her legs pressed against his lower abdomen.

Once inside the bathroom, he stopped kissing her long enough to navigate them over to the tub, smiling crookedly as he turned on the water again. Setting her down so she could stand, he let the spray hit himself and clear away the current blood before switching places with her, his hands moving delicately over where her stomach and chest had been stained, the red turning a milky, diluted color as the water came in contact with it. Standing behind her, his manhood unobtrusively rubbing into her backside and the small of her back, he kissed at her shoulder as his fingertips guided the water over her breasts and neck, idolizing every inch of her skin that he could get his hands on.

Oh, it was nothing. I wanted to do it. She wanted to hug him to show him that she meant what she said, but he had just gotten out of the shower and she did not want to dirty him. Of course, he probably needed some blood on him some where but he could always get it off of his shirt or something. Ishu looked up at him as he approached her and jumped when his hands first touched her nude skin. She couldn't believe she forgot she was naked...

A soft pink hue dazzled on her cheeks when he offered to clean her. She tried to hide a smile by rolling her lips together into her mouth. When she saw his mesmerizing, though sexually charged smile, she could help but smile back at him and reach her hands up, touching his face and gently stamping the outlines of her hands on his skin. As his hands danced all over her body, feeling the soft porcelain skin, she lightly stroked her cheek over his firm chest, a small dainty line of blood smearing across his skin.

She was a bit surprised when he picked her up but she recovered instantly, wrapping her arms around his neck and letting her legs curl around his lower back. She purred as he kissed on her neck and his damp skin lightly cooled her between her legs.

Carefully, she stepped down from his hold as he lowered her. Her feet planted carefully to the bottom of the tub, the porcelain still a bit wet from just a few minutes ago. She heard him turn on the water and watched it sprinkle over his front, water dripping down every curve of his muscles. She cooed internally and, when he moved, she stepped in front of him. The water was cold, the girl responding with a brief gaping of her mouth, but she no longer noticed when her lovers hands stroked over her bloodied skin, spreading the water to clean her.

Ishu smiled and stepped back closer to him, carefully trapping what she felt on her back between their bodies. She turned her head so her cheek brushed across his skin and she smiled as she thought about doing this everyday. Her hands moved up to her braided hair and began to unbraid it. She did not know if she got any blood in it or not, but washing it again couldn't hurt.
