[ She laughed a little, and gave him a kiss on the neck, too boneless at the moment to seek out his lips. ]

I'm glad you think so. Was this...

[ She waved her hand in a vague gesture, not sure what words to use. ]

Does the fact that I'm not a shifter make it less enjoyable?

[ Obviously he had enjoyed himself, and she wasn't feeling the least bit insecure, she just wanted to know how to make things as good as possible for him if they were to keep doing this. ]

Does the fact that I'm not human make it less enjoyable for you?

[He reversed the question so she could see how ridiculous it was. His hand pet at her hair, smoothing it down along her shoulders, letting out a soft purr as his body lowered its frantic pace to something more liquid and languid.]

Sex is always different, love. From person to person. Shifter to shifter. There's no 'better'. It's all quite good. I certainly have no complaints.

True.

[ She listened to his slowing heart beat, smiling softly as she tried to fit herself even more snuggly against him. ]

So what does it mean when only one of us has a mark?

[ Said in a playful tone meant to convey that she was just teasing. ]

[He lifted his head a bit to see the reddened skin, smiling as he lowered back down to rest with a sigh.]

That particular mark means I'm a slightly possessive lover. Territorial, somewhat. If there was another shifter involved in your life, then that would be a bit of a challenge. For now, in the human world, it means that you hopefully had a very good time.

I did.

[ She grinned widely, amused that she was rather pleased by this hypothetical challenge he spoke of. As anything else than a fantasy it might well have turned into quite a mess, but it was still a somewhat thrilling flight of fancy. ]

And I love that you always give me such thorough answers to my questions.

[He reached over and caught the corner of her sheet, tugging to pull it up over her and partially over himself. He let out a soft purr, stroking up along her back.]

Good. On both counts. Knowledge doesn't help anyone if it's kept secret. If you don't know, then it behooves all parties to share it- as you're already in the know, that is. I'm hardly running around sharing to your neighbor that the shadow he shot at the other night is currently lying in your bed.

That was you?

[ She propped herself up on her elbow to give him a look of concern, in spite of how completely Lucas had shown himself to be in very good health for the last while. ]

You weren't hurt, right?

[ Look, she wasn't sure how fast he healed. ]

[He reached up to tug at a curl of hers, sliding his hand around to the back of her neck to tug her closer, to lay back down.]

Hush, darling. I'm sure you've seen most if not all of me by now and as you can see, I'm fine. He didn't even clip me. Can't blame the bloke. All he saw was a black blur moving. I likely scared a few years off him. No harm, no foul.

I don't know about "no foul".

[ She laid down and settled her head back on his shoulder, her legs tangling affectionately into his. ]

I'm not overly excited about having a neighbour with a gun.

You're in America, darling. Don't most have some kind of weaponry? Besides, you can't find fault with him. Some shifters are pricks. They'd stalk him for fun. And if I'd been an actual large predator...

He did only fire the once. I'd be more mad if he'd fired willy nilly with no care for the neighbors. And if he'd hit your house, I might have done more than startle him a bit.

[No maybe about it, but it might not have helped her any. It was his own fault for being seen. It just showed him how much he had to be careful.]

Well my British ass is still not used to it, alright?

[ Honestly, she didn't want to get used to it.

It was pretty nice to know she had a shifter prowling around apparently feeling quite protective of her. ]

[A soft laugh, something that had him moving a little under her as he continued to pet her back. Their bodies were cooling a little from their activities, so he tugged the sheet higher to cover more of her.]

I can't blame you. They are quite trigger happy. I only had to worry about farmers back home.

[ She makes a pleased little sound, appreciating the effort to keep her comfortable. ]

If I fall asleep, will you still be here when I wake up?

[He kissed the top of her head, tucking the sheet in on one side of her.]

I can be. Would you like me to be?

Yes. If you'd like it too.

[ If he stuck around just for her sake, it wasn't as appealing a notion. ]

Do I look as if I'm in a rush to go anywhere?

[For all that he could read her scent and body language, he wasn't a mind reader. And when she was sprawled out on top of him, it was hard to read more than the scent of her mingled with his own and the steady thrumming of her heartbeat against his chest. He was... relaxed. Content. And genuinely in no rush to go anywhere.]

You look like you could make waking up a lot more fun.

[ Said with a grin, and punctuated by giving his shoulder a kiss. ]

Ah, I see your deviousness, miss. You're planning ahead. I like that.

[A soft laugh, and he closed his eyes and lay with her, waiting for both of them to drift off.]

I am. Because I like you.

[ She did the same, relaxing even more against him and feeling wonderfully safe as she relinquished her hold on wakefulness. ]
