"Incredible," he agreed, smiling softly, and nuzzled her hair gently in thanks. "I think I needed...a wakeup call. And you did give me one in the most delightful way."
He lifted his head once more and glanced down at the cuts to her body, his eyes lingering upon them for a moment or two, but he didn't apologize. "You said something about staying the night. Is that still okay?"
