Ethan woke up first from to the early morning light flooding the room, the openness of the curtains very apparent. He instantly tensed up, as if from a bad dream that he couldn't remember, then relaxed as he took in his surroundings.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nr2cre6VJ
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSV8GkzVwn
He was at the safe house. They'd made it out. Hanna was here, he felt her next to him. Her arm was draped across his chest and she was using his shoulder like a pillow. He could feel her breath gently rustling his chest hairs. She looked so peaceful and surreal. He'd half expected she would have been gone by the time he awoke.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TYEvwXnKM
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxLVzRG2Xk
The hazy morning daze cracked away when he started to recall the events of the previous day. Ethan let out a soft sigh. There was so much he needed to sort out. His eyes drifted to the glass of water on the nightstand and wondered when she'd put it there. Then he remembered how thirsty he was and, after carefully extracting himself without waking her, downed the whole thing.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEMlR5EPQU
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LMbgOUsgl
For the first time in a couple days, he felt like he had actual energy, not just heat energy, and he wasn't going to waste it on worrying. First order of business, he had wiped a lot of the blood and dirt off, but it was still obvious that he needed a shower. After that, he changed the bandage around his ankle, which had finally stopped bleeding.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy7Dkx4XkU
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQHaQc1d15
Afterwards, he silently got some of the clean clothes out of the dresser, to avoid waking Hanna. He couldn't help looking at her with a touch of disbelief, still have a hard time believing she was here. It was no surprise that she was still asleep, no doubt that whole ordeal had been traumatic and exhausting for her. He resisted the urge to run his hand through her hair to wake her gently. He wanted to talk to her while his mind was clear, before the pressure of the heat returned.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeKlFquRKu
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMT14otK7n
Deciding her rest was more important, he took the time to call Steve and sort out some items concerning Midas Financial. Given he was going to disappear anyways, there was technically no need to quit his job. However, Hanna was not in the same position and he wanted to do what he could to smooth over her unexpected leave. His life was already screwed up, at least he could try not to take her down with him.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon429TdlVi
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE9K630kbp
Ethan felt slightly relieved as Steve reassured him that Hanna likely wouldn't be fired, although Sarah wouldn't be happy with her. Steve was surprisingly understanding of the whole situation, and glad that were both safe, as Ethan explained what would happen next. Now that two people he trusted knew his secret, he wasn't looking forward to a new life without them.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYTxFMmVjo
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dGJqwg46T
That sorted for the moment, he figured he should at least get somethings done before she got up, like breakfast. It had been so long since he'd been here, he'd forgotten what he'd stocked.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgdYrhCoQX
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiln8Z6OsNz
He walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge first, out of habit and forgetting it had been unplugged, and thus completely empty. The pantry had lots of canned soups and other dry foods. He was satisfied there would be more than enough for food both of them for at least a week, even though he'd never planned on stocking this place for two. At the end of his search, he found he wasn't actually hungry and didn't end up eating anything.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodpaUi9acA
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6j8XzScpp
He ended up on the sofa, waiting. The undeniable arousal sensation of the heat wasn't back yet but he had no clue how long that would last. He very much wished he had asked his father a lot more questions about this, like how long it would last or if there was a way to get rid of it. It was just another thing to add to the list of regrets he had about his teens.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM023hcCZe
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZLQjgzMUU
His gaze drifted to the number on the back on his left hand. The number eighteen in clear black ink. The sight of it made his stomach turn. He wanted to get rid of it desperately, erase anything he could about that day. He went to the kitchen sink and he scrubbed the area until his skin was pink but the number was still there, hardly even faded.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXjCM72kvw
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WnggRTbEo
Anger and frustration flared up within him as he scrubbed harder. Before long, without realizing, he'd left his hand painfully raw with the ink still shining boldly. He leaned against the sink, trying to calm himself down, this wasn't working. In the end, he threw a bandage over it to cover it up, resolving to figure out how to get rid of it later.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz1p1a8l6l
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUPWx92vGw
Ethan checked in on Hanna again, this time, he noticed the mound on the bed moving and flicked on the lights. Irritated muttering emanated from the mound. He resisted the temptation to laugh at her childish behaviour as he sat down on the bed next to her.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jFbd7NpLr
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdflImwHwRR
Ethan stroked her hair until she cracked opened her deep brown eyes. "Thank you."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpfX7IpoUr
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIICYBOp4p
Hanna peeked her head out, still blinking sleep out of her eyes. "What?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwnwVl8BPp
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAroBuhGhcy
"Just thanks for coming to get me." Ethan cleared his throat. "And everything else."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKvdMiLEEZ
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sxvjK4tJf
Fleeting emotions ran through Hanna's foggy brain until her anger jerked her awake, the memories still fresh in her mind from the previous day. "I was never going to let them use you like that." Her temper flared up just thinking about it. The idea they'd wanted to use him like an animal disgusted her immeasurably. She shuddered at the memory of the corpse on the metal table and she silently wished that he never asked about what their plans for him had been.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZZMV27Ksk
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFINcut5KFq
Now we can make our own plans, Hanna thought victoriously. She subtly observed how much better he looked today. He wasn't sweaty, he looked like he'd actually slept and there wasn't a hint of any tremors. It was like he wasn't even in heat.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkCSRSg1o0
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEplDQE5UH
"Is the heat over?" Hanna asked bluntly.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc6qfxqMwF
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWET9sDIks9
"Um, no," Ethan answered, confused.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeyk2GgsCL
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jcdbbRr0g
Hanna looked him over again. "But you seem- The symptoms went away?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzOMEWWAD3
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnweAtvqbpE
"Um, they're only gone temporarily because..." Ethan left his explanation unfinished, beginning to dread where this conversation was going.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8gRRuQBA3
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAWiBn10Kt
"Because of us?" Hanna suggested helpfully.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dXr2d2w6M
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1gr7r1uXT
"Yeah. They'll come back," Ethan answered dejectedly.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMSQ9HxENp
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaCAq5lkXJ
"Do you know when the next time will be?" Hanna asked.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK20i6IX1Gi
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrhfnR9RLp
She assumes there will be a next time, Ethan realized, tensing up. He had to ask the question he'd been avoiding. "Uh, no, but does that mean you're alright with staying here?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDao5InnTD2
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76QKOSwf44
"Yeah, it's fine. You can't go back to the city right now anyways, it wouldn't be safe," Hanna answered nonchalantly.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzzOw6L7EJ
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZXHdNpEyo
"I mean, you're okay with staying with me?" Ethan clarified hesitantly.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QWuvcdZu2
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0sfShPpkX
Hanna looked at him curiously. "You're asking if I'm going to leave you here? On your own?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmSlEWyqA4
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA07sH3vELG
Ethan nodded, his bright blue eyes searching her face for her reaction.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBc4Neaq3l
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP6T0wk2vy
"I'm not going to do that to you." Hanna took his hand comfortingly. "I'm staying. Unless you want me to go."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgZZQTvDli
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVRifI4lx8
Ethan gripped her hand tighter. "You know what you're agreeing to?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnwtsLbkYV
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0NWgzl2mf
Hanna smirked playfully. "I think I got a proper introduction last night." She winked. "Just let me know if you're planning anything really out of the ordinary."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtanjAodKrR
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki96lMMGvM
"Um... that's not... it's just..." Ethan stumbled over his words.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldyKxjrk7D
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3uw3RrpxW
"Breathe," Hanna told him softly. "Think about what you're going to say."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX4zeG60TC
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeqo25maSV
Ethan took a deep breath. "With heat sex... I'm not all there sometimes. I might end up hurting you. And it might not always be... enjoyable."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk3yjiQVyu
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAucH5DwHw8
Hanna shrugged. "I've had rougher and I've had worse. You're not going to scare me off."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVhFzCBuNS
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77OJpgxaOH
For the first time, Ethan eyed her with suspicion. She was being a lot more eager and accepting than he'd expected, this was not how he'd thought this conversation was going to go. Maybe it was just recent events making him distrustful, but this whole thing seemed way too coincidental.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX1L1Ueb4a
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYEdLcmaVG
Her appearance, her willingness, her acceptance. This seemed too good to be true. His gut was telling him something was off, but it could very well be his own nerves, he still felt very on edge. He wasn't sure he'd ever be able to shed the low level anxiety that had taken up residence at the back of his mind after this ordeal.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNeqRfXbJh
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrO8LM77Dj
On the other hand, this week had been so hellish that maybe his luck had finally turned around. Maybe Hanna just had that attitude towards the Charax. It had been made clear to him yesterday that he didn't know his coworker that well.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIvPnlOJOG
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl2fJDj8qB
Ethan stared at her uncertainly. "You're sure?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwjEyszVlL
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5naOJd4GDk
Hanna smiled as she ran a hand down the side of his face. "I am. I meant what I said and I'm not going anywhere."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEKvLcfnvb
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt5NGy7Q2Q
He looked at her intently, suspicion hiding behind his eyes.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuFBkfqEZp
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4EqeyTrk1
"You're wondering why," Hanna suspected.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhUv7pZkut
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoYCo6lpdG
"Yeah. I am," Ethan admitted. "Why would you do any of this?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspd1cCymgu
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybicTOIYTf
"You're so blind. Because I like you, even when you're an idiot and refuse to listen to me," Hanna said as the corner of her lip twitched upwards, betraying the smile she was trying to hide.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBejpsEbPRP
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQfznfPYm5
Ethan hadn't been expecting that answer. He recalled the warning she'd given him days ago. Pieces fell into place. She'd known what he was, what had been happening to him and tried to tell him that others were figuring it out too. All without him realizing it. Clearly, he hadn't been doing as good job of hiding the symptoms as he thought he had.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTZ9u8hTzL
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKhpwlHukS
"You knew." Ethan rubbed his hands over his face.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1v9GvJETL
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGAOYlG2sI
Hanna laughed at his reaction. "Obviously." Then, her face fell. "I'm sorry."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsacOA0kHo
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP36hALqLYY
What does she have to apologize for? Ethan wondered, feeling his stomach twist at her reaction. "Why?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3q0Lcqhm3
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENaLCGTto3
Hanna's gaze fell to her hands as she twisted the sheets in her hands. "I should have told you. Then you could have left before things got out of hand. None of this would have happened to you." She looked at him sadly. "I'm sorry."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zymh65SOV
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70HWODgZAI
Ethan felt the knot inside him untangle. "You don't need to apologize. This is my problem. I should have listened to your warning."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyRmP48p9G
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHDXt57Cjs
Hanna hugged him, burying her face in his shirt. "None of them. You are such an idiot! You can't just walk right into traps."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfXvuQkXOj
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeDUGh7RvI
Ethan wasn't sure how to react to that. He patted her shoulder cautiously. "Normally I do, I was just distracted this week."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfN7ZAl8Kx
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcysLskKVCN
Hanna let go of him. "I got that, but it was still way too obvious. You never should have been working."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjegC4TQtIY
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwo9BXGkoc
"Who else knows?" Ethan asked seriously. "Did you tell anyone?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjgIAJPTvC
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oJSZE8heZ
"I didn't tell anyone. I know how to keep a secret," Hanna answered confidently, almost proudly. "The dealers wouldn't have shared that information either but Steve seemed suspicious," she added on. The Crimson Keys would have tried to avoid alerting their competition, wanting to get their prize as cleanly and quickly as possible, she thought.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5yrLDWKdl
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AU1HQcy9m
"Steve already knows," Ethan revealed casually.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBAy7Eg65r
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzRJKK2ZxA
Hanna was astonished he'd told anyone. He was going to get caught sooner or later with those kind of slip ups, she thought. "Oh, okay then," she said quietly.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmpxzF7aKH
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2qXnLEjzU
Ethan nodded automatically. He was staring out the bedroom window, almost as if he was looking at the brightly lit pines, but his eyes were unfocused. His expression only got more troubled as the seconds ticked by.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYLi9Wt8Ek
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIQd16ePhi
"What are you thinking about?" Hanna asked curiously.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MYIT3pAiv
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyO65Wdgso
Ethan sighed heavily. "Just trying to figure out how my life got so messed up."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHK2gCRKxk
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2LMOtQLv0
"It's not messed up," Hanna protested quickly. He shot her a look. "Okay, it's not that messed up." The only loose end is whoever tipped off the dealers and I can take can of that, she thought, nothing a well aimed bullet can't fix. "We'll be able to deal with it."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy8YMaCbkG
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfmQBrCLQl
Ethan recalled how she had set the place on fire, destroying any record they were there. "How can you be so certain?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobHw7Cbk9g
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrbF4W6Nnh
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Hanna reassured him vaguely. "Don't worry about it."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfMUVZUHrr
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpUywK5LPK
Ethan was strongly tempted by the opportunity to procrastinate. After all, they weren't in danger right now. He didn't need a new identity this instant. He could wait out the heat here, with her, and deal with that all later. Things could be easy for once in his life.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBSJsTO4Bd
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwFNtlAEdN
"You look much better than yesterday," Hanna remarked, breaking his train of thought.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7mWj0xcaS
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzhFE63Zef
"Water and sleep helped a lot." Ethan smiled down at her. "You too." She flashed a smile back.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KUzuc5lS1
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxZmKmK6M8
"Does the Trazinol help?" Hanna asked curiously.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY126D3177
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvXnHRJtre
Ethan frowned slightly. "It does but I don't have it. It wasn't in my bag."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC204gxnQt
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVmOx2U2RV
Hanna looked troubled. "It's going to be impossible to get without making people suspicious. Are you going to be okay without it?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgtaVyYqjy
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAg2AebdwU
"I think so. You work a lot better," Ethan answered confidently. As long as you decide to stay, he added on mentally.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEnJpBeSWQ
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoRoNOPLFg
Hanna blushed at the compliment. She sat up, her neck achingly from her previous position and she rubbed it lightly, recalling her missing injuries. "What do you think happened to the burns?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3SZQQ5Iwk
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGzvh83xGz
Ethan pushed her hair aside, as if to confirm the injuries were still gone. Her skin was as smooth and unblemished as it was yesterday.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ9dh56p9I
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24WVi48Z09
"None of my injuries are healed, so my thinking is you're the one with special healing powers," Ethan reasoned.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqeBSs3qdH
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNlK6OqeAR
Hanna looked him over, noticing he still had his assortment of bruises, some starting to turn an ugly colour. She didn't really buy his explanation. "I'm Terran, we don't get healing powers."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO4Z8CFP4V
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WMxOpMjvg
Ethan fell silent at that comment.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA1LyMvgtH
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTpWM0PmXE
"Charax, on the other hand..." Hanna trailed off after noticing how he had stiffened.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsUTrUQrjx
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPLuZ8V4LY
"Those are just rumours," Ethan tried to reply dismissively, attempting to cover up his underlying agitation.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN9aFWUYIX
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVfTS21ID3
"There's lots of rumours," Hanna argued.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIqpuSdvNu
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hm518BBXh
There were lots of myths that Charax body parts had mysterious healing capabilities, which fuelled the black market. Hanna felt her stomach start to twist at the thought. It was disturbing how many people were willing to commit cannibalism. Even more disturbing was how people tried to rationalize the Charax as non-human to argue it wasn't actually cannibalism.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ehhtQGBkN
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2CgqESxn7
"There are lots of rumours. Rumours that have nearly gotten me killed," Ethan stated dryly.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJYNYul0bf
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMPQVX4Jfe
Or kidnapped, Hanna mentally added as she shivered at the memory. "Obviously, we can't tell a single person or let anyone figure it out. If it is true... I don't want to think of the consequences." That thought scared her more than anything, he was in enough danger already.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8nFyuAkUL
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYq56SPrnH
Ethan nodded in grim agreement.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHslEY2xwQ
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo4UXYbZsT
"We should know at least. We could test it with something small," Hanna suggested.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhfmKY4ZV2
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9XDtD1rgD
"No," Ethan answered, extremely serious. "I'm not going to let you hurt yourself for an experiment on me."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh3EKHKz7h
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTMbU3xchb
Hanna couldn't think of a good rebuke for that. "I was thinking more along the lines of just waiting until I get a bruise or something."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9lgacv0ep
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnURentsIAe
Ethan eyed her suspiciously. "No, I don't..." He sighed, taking hold of her hand. "Just promise me you won't do this."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEgJsNxNip
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMYrMY6KFs
Hanna couldn't refuse a request like that. She was fairly certain she was right, but if he wanted to ignore it then there wasn't much she could do without pushing him away. Besides, pretending it didn't exist could be the safest course of action, for both of them.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQna6ReO3a
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wksbte8Vr
"I promise," Hanna agreed softly. "But if I get a black eye and it mysteriously disappears, people are going to ask questions," she joked, trying to lighten the mood.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEByreMAdG
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdkxh0EXuv
Ethan let his shoulders drop in relief. "You don't need to worry, that won't happen."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUYGBgPm1b
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEV07FljQQ
"Okay," Hanna yielded. She pointed at his new bandage. "Speaking of injuries, what happened to your hand?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UKHlZYror
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW0orDiGpz
Ethan pulled his hand in towards him, rubbing the white tape unconsciously. "Nothing... I was covering it up."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jUhiC4X7K
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFZPuQc6du
"Covering up what?" Hanna asked, confused. She couldn't remember him hurting his hand yesterday.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpWSg3NJb8
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUURy66yKJq
Ethan pulled off the bandage and showed her the number underneath. If Hanna was surprised or alarmed by the raw skin, then she didn't show it. Her face only hardened.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmavbdCHa16
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f2SDU9Ggx
Hanna felt a surge of anger at the sight of the leftover marking. "One second," she said, getting up and throwing on her clothes from yesterday. "Let's get rid of that," she stated flatly.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaONoGdC9aZ
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yi9FIfL3x
Ethan stuck the bandage back on, feeling newly dispirited. "I tried that already."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloxgvRTnBa
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCv8mJORJN
"It won't wash off." Hanna pulled out a small bottle from the medical kit. "It'll come off with alcohol, come on."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazfqswaQgy
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmzljrETIS
Ethan followed her into the washroom halfheartedly, watching as she drenched a washcloth with the pungent liquid. He pulled the bandage off his hand, holding it palm up over the sink as he reached for the cloth in her hands.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWdj6BzGkm
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPZW19cWFc
"It's alright. I'll do it," Hanna soothed, stepping forward to take his marked hand delicately.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLsWCEFBw3
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Va8z30Js
Ethan watched Hanna rub the raw, inked area gently with slow motions, until the dark numbers started to fade. The tinted liquid began to run off his hand, forming small droplets at the tips of his fingers. He watched the drops slowly fall and splatter on the white porcelain, leaving grey dots all over the surface. For some inexplicable reason, it mesmerized him.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDp03jnnS0
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cisDOadJQ
Ethan's mind drifted away, the stinging sensation on his skin barely registering and irritating smell a distant memory. Eighteen. Seventeen before. That's almost more Charax than I've met, Ethan thought sadly, and how many were in heat? Probably most, if that's how they find us.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12p3Sb4WUM
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWvoZVsEAV
He couldn't stop thinking about what the dealers had been talking about. It was like they'd known more about heat than he did, an idea that unsettled him to no end. He actively tried to ignore what they'd said, but he couldn't forget it. Nor could he forget what he'd done.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9lQOTpiKj
106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFJP24FscX
Hanna squeezed his hand, causing Ethan to jerk and look at her, before letting go. "Are you listening to me?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhZEUiQANJ

Ethan blinked at her. "What?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6S7XzJL8y

Hanna wore an expression of mild concern. "I said it's gone, you can wash your hands now."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHpprAnn1e

Ethan looked down at his hand, free of black ink. "Oh, thanks." He turned on the tap and began to rinse his hands rapidly. Hanna suddenly hugged him. She wrapped her arms around his waist carefully, mindful of his injuries, as she let her cheek rest lightly on his shoulder.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErvZk8dL5X

To his surprise, Ethan relaxed at her unexpected soft touch. It was warm, genuine human contact and it put him at ease. The effect her simple action had on him was impressive.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VOyBu8s4g

To his annoyance, her closeness was arousing him again, mixing with his lingering dread. He shifted more of his weight to his injured ankle, causing the pain there to build. He used it to push back against the pressure, unwilling to combine the two emotions, unwilling to taint the mood.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqll2UI3YLR

It was only lasted a few seconds before Hanna unwrapped her arms. She glanced at his reflection in the mirror. "I know that look," she teased.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAcFWRiEAZ

"What?" Ethan asked innocently.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ5kb3fAYy

Hanna winked at him. "That's your holding back face. You can be honest with me."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rWuQ5f0As

"Okay, I'm not there just yet but... soon. Don't go far," Ethan admitted, reluctantly giving her the half-truth.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lr4wIGKeS

Hanna chuckled and gestured out the window to the trees outside. "Not much place to go, out here." She paused, studying him. "And you don't have to wait until you feel like you're going to explode. Next time, we can be... preemptive."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHtKMJ3Sns

"I'll keep that in mind," Ethan replied noncommittally.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdgAdCUHkR
