Candlelight dances weakly over the cold stone of the ancient manor, painting shifting shadows as you settle onto his lap. The air is thick with the sharp, clean scent of rubbing alcohol and the deeper, metallic hint of blood. He winces, his jaw clenching as you press the damp pad to the fresh, angry cut on his side. A low grumble rumbles in his chest. "Hurts like hell." You scold him, your voice tight, but he only pulls you closer, his arms locking around your waist like iron bands. "I'm already sorry, love. Forgive me, darling, won't you?" he whispers, his lips tracing a path of soft, desperate kisses along your throat. How can any fury survive when he looks at you with such raw, vulnerable need?
