He nodded distractedly, pleasure pounding through him as he took her body. Blood smeared on both of their chests. He heard her words, but all he really got out of them was that she was going to stay, stay a bit longer. And somewhere, in the tiny spark of his sanity, he knew that it was best for him not to be alone.

"Yes, yes...Vanessa," he gasped, meeting her smile with another bruising, demanding, devouring kiss. His fingers loosened a little, a bit of the terrible urgency beginning to ebb even as his pleasure mounted. He reached down between them, rubbing her clit with his fingers, somewhere distantly aware that he had moved fast, and wanting to pleasure her as well.
