He doesn't want to get off of me? Hmm. I guess I shouldn't be so surprised by that, but I shouldn't be surprised by his grumbling stomach either. "Sounds like your stomach disagrees with that plan," I murmur.
I have to blink at how quickly he tries to reassure me that he's a) fine, b) doesn't really need a bandage, and c) the wound is close up more or less.
And waving it in front of my nose? Possbly not the best plan ever. I glance at him and hold onto the arm he's holding out for me. "Could get infected," I try, looking at the blood still sitting on the surface as the wound does start to clot.
I pull his wrist a little closer and sneak out my tongue to pull away any stray drops. I moan very, very softly and take another lick along the length of the tiny cut. "Should be more careful," and at the moment, I don't know if I'm talking to him or myself. I glance up at him savoring his taste on my tongue and finally forcing myself to let go of his arm.
"We should eat," I tell him, eyes still not leaving his. Normally, I might try to fight him on eating soup in bed, but I don't really feel like it with the taste of his blood still on the tip of my tongue. Shaking it off, I brush a finger over his cheek.
"I'll get a tray," I say, climbing over him and looking down at him briefly before taking myself and my apron back to the kitchen to get food. For him and for me.
