Incubus Dreams - October 30th

[nathaniel_kitten]

Nathaniel pauses outside Jean-Claude's room, where he can sense Anita, and looks up at Asher.

"I don't know if I can do this," he whispers, nervously gripping Asher's hand. "What if she says never again to either of us just because I can't feed the ardeur like that anymore?"

She's trying. She really is.

Anita steps away from Nathaniel and faces Asher. She seems to debate for a moment, and then she rises up on her toes and kisses him too. Whether they were with Jean-Claude or not, she loves Asher, and she'll kiss him goodbye if she feels like it.

"I'll talk to you both later," she murmurs, and with a final glance at them, she heads out of Jean-Claude's room.

Nathaniel smiles oddly at the closed door, and then looks at Asher.

"That... went a lot better than I thought it would."

Asher nods, looking a little stunned.

"Better than we could have hoped for, cher."

"Who was that and where is Anita Blake?" he asks, shaking his head.

But he won't look a gift horse in the mouth. If Anita would respect him, talk to him about his limits, he'll take it. Relief floods him, and he looks to Asher.

"I'm hungry. Will you take me out for supper? I think I'd finally like to try that Greek place you keep not-so-subtly mentioning."

Asher laughs, kissing Nathaniel's temple softly.

"That sounds perfect, cher," he replies, leading him from the room, their hands entwined.
