- blue eyes roaming over his form and thinking back to the night before. She took a seat and made herself comfortable, pulling her hair from its place and working on getting it a little more dry.

Narrowing eyes up at him as he winked, a faux annoyance painted itself over her features. It wasn’t the first time she would use as much product as she wanted and if they kept this up, it wouldn’t be the last time either. “Complain all you want, at least I smell good,” she called out, -

One her hair was shampoo’d, she washed down her body, taking in the smells of him in all of it. Maybe it wasn’t the best for her hair but it didn’t matter. It smelled like BJ and she would cherish it for as long as it lasted. Once she was all good and clean, she rinsed everything off and turned -

- placing her hand under it to feel it warming up. “Food would be great, whatever you’ve got:” Having him cook for her may not happen again or often, so this was an opportunity she wouldn’t give up. Stepping under the water, she let it run over her hair and body, enjoying the way this felt -

Considering the night before, she didn’t mind to stand naked before him, soft blush still rising on her cheeks. She set her things aside, looking over his cabinet and picking out what she needed. “It’s all good enough, I don’t mind smelling like you,” she called out, turning on the water and -

- had to find him elsewhere, it would be no good. They’d already come so far. Pulling back from him, a soft blush rose over her cheeks, moving off the bed and gathering her things. “I think I can manage a quick shower. I won’t be far.” It wasn’t difficult to tell where it was, only one part -

“Well you seemed to get hot enough last night,” she teased, fingers moving to trail over his chest. Tilting her head, she pressed a kiss to his cheek, letting her lips linger for a moment while she took all of this in. There wasn’t time to waste with Leon potentially still near by. If they -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

- being able to show her love was beyond words. “Mmmm…” The sunlight beamed in on her as his voice whispered out. She slowly forced her eyes open, fingers lifting to brush his hair from his face. “Is everything okay?”

Sleep hadn’t been that wonderful in years, a deep peaceful sleep that pulled he under and brought about a good night’s worth. Tangled up with the man she had loved so damn much only years before, this had truly awakened something else all together. Giving into the desire inside of her -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

- her hands slid over his clothing, undoing it all and pulling it off in return. Soft fingers worked shaky, anxious to see him bared for her again. Her memory only did so much, a fog around it from the fear over the years, and sadness. This was like the first time all over again. As the last -

Being carried by him had her heart fluttering away in her chest, so close to him again. Laid out on his bed, her cheeks flushed pink with excitement and embarrassment. It was new all over again, the sensation of him coming close, the smell and feel of him. All of it. Tugging him close, -

Though she was a bit scared, it was for many different reasons. Not just because of what he was, but what this all meant. Going this far with him was taking the chance to open all old wounds and pleasures. “Just don’t bite me…” she teased, though she was unsure of how they might work. Sliding -

It seemed like such a short time since she felt like he was the enemy, doubting her abilities and trying to tell her what to do when he was the monster. But they had been able to work together after that, hadn’t they? He trusted her with her plans and they worked out way better than either of them -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

- history class…” she teased, knowing full well he was aroused as well. She could feel him under her fingertips, pulling back just enough to finish her wine and set the glass aside. Only then did she move to crawl into his lap, settling herself comfortably there and wrapping her arms around -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Her heart slammed against her chest, feelin his lips so close to hers, the warmth of his body was surprising this close to her. Thinking back to their almost night together, seeing the marks on his neck, her gaze dropped to his lips and back to his eyes. “I don’t remember any of this in -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Bold move on his part, but she had to give him credit. Her lips curled up into a wide grin as she scooted closer to him, leaning in to whisper in his ear, breath hot against his skin as she spoke. “Mmmmm well…the jeans make it a little difficult to tell,” she teased, giving him a little bit of -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

- as he was…but maybe he was worried considering his uh…condition. “Me either,” she admitted with a sigh, taking the glass from him. “I’ve been too busy looking for your potential killer to really worry about things like that.” Taking a small sip, she glanced in his direction curiously, watching -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Oh it was only getting worse wasn’t it? The stupid alcohol mixed with the feelings she had tried to suppress since meeting him again had her pulse picking up, heartbeat thinking back to the time when they had been together. It was surprising to hear that he hadn’t been with anyone, as handsome -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

- Like this. His last words though surprised her, breath hitching as she looked away with a blush. Lifting her wine, she finished it off and held it out for more. Maybe it had her feeling some sort of way, to be able to talk with him and laugh again like it used to be. “Stop that,” she -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

Oh, so he had to eat….or he was worried what might happen. That at least showed her that he still had a sense of humanity. He didn’t want to hurt people and they warmed her heart, a familiar warmth that she had once felt for him flowing through her being. BJ…oh how much she missed time with him. -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

- she got the rest of it right. To be able to taste things to a heightened amount seemed interesting though. He could very well be a link between the two species, answer questions that might lead them to more ways to take out Leon. “And…your senses otherwise?”

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

Nodding her head, she took another long sip of her wine, forcing herself to keep her eye on him. She didn’t want him to think what he was saying bothered her, even if the thought that he /could/ drink blood…might have. “So you enjoy food more, but you don’t need it,” she said softly, making sure -

- as she took another sip. Swallowing the liquid, she kept her blue gaze on him. “Doesn’t seem fair if you can’t get drunk and I might,” she teased. “Do you get hungry? Thirsty?” Yeah she was trying to get a better understanding of what was going on with him. He wasn’t human but he wasn’t a -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

An amused smile grew on her lips, head tilting just a bit as she found herself giggling. Something she hadn’t done in a long damn time. No her years had been filled with seriousness, of research, of fighting monsters. This had her feeling like a college kid again, soft blush rising to her cheeks -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

- sip of it and nodded. “It’s good. Thank you…” Holding it between her hands, she grew silent for a moment, watching the fire crackle and pop in front of her. The silence of the night was welcome, the air cool but fire enough to keep her warm. “Can you even get drunk?”

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

Taking the glass from him, she lifted it to her face to take in the sweet scent of it. This was exactly what she needed, a bit of drink to settle her nerves and calm her brain. Taking a seat, she took her shoes off and set them to the side with a sigh. Lifting the glass again, she took a slow -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

- thinking of all that. They had only started to get along. Things had changed, she couldn’t love a monster, not really. A spark of fire started, so she moved closer to the wood to set it on fire, blowing on it to really get it going before turning back to him. Her gaze shifted to the two -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

- stopped now. Would she grow old and he stay young? Would they ever be able to have children? Did she even want any of that? It was too far for her mind to wander, so she sighed and picked up two smaller sticks, beginning to rub them together to get a spark going. No she didn’t need to be -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

Once she had gathered the needed wood, she started back to where he was, letting her gaze wander over him before bending down to set up the pile of wood. He looked just how she remembered he did, like he hadn’t aged at all. She wondered if it was slowed down or completely-

- move forward. “Yeah…I think we do.” Giving him a small smile, she opened the door. “If you want to grab the blankets I can get us a fire going.” And she was out of the van, shutting the door behind her and heading on over to a clear spot that looked like a nice spot to camp. The stars shown -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

- questions to ask but they faded away for now. The further they went, the more curious she was at where they were going. Once he parked, she looked around, brow lifting as she pulled her hand away from him. The fear she felt before had faded away to the back of her mind, a focus now on trying to -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

She wanted to tell him not to worry, not to apologize, but the words wouldn’t come out. Instead, she nodded her head and turned to watch the road ahead. Silence drifted over the car ride, the bumps of the van on the road the only sounds filling the awkward silence. She had so many other -

Charlotte Larkspur @adornedinlace.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

- watched him drive, not wanting to distract him from that but wanting him to know. She couldn’t tell him enduring, not that she still harbored those feelings. What would that say about her? That she was in love with a monster? That she wanted the very thing that she hated.
