As always, the reminder of vampire blood was unpleasant. Raziyya persisted, however, akin to persisting through the stale breath of a living human. Given enough, they could thin it, dissolve it. Enjoy each other.
If anything, it was victory in itself, the way this brokenhearted woman returned interest to a greater degree. She chuckled into it this time, a sly smile as she kissed back.
Raziyya wanted to escalate a great many ways, all of them particularly foolish given the extent of their injuries. Lust could provide a distraction that would hurt worse after. But much like the fight, would it not be so damn savory while it lasted?
Her hand moved from her chin to caress the side of Zaharia's perfect, delicate face. As far as she recalled, she bore no injuries there. But it was to kiss her a few moments longer before pulling back to look at her very close, an expression of amusement.
"Now you can say your first time was taking advantage of a nude woman in a forest," she teased, meaning nothing negative by any of it.
