“Thinking? That’s a great question.”
His head is still pounding and he can hear his heartbeat it in almost more loudly than he can hear her voice or Darcin’s footsteps leaving the room. He barely knows what he’s thinking except that he’s confused about everything.
“Vampires. All this time?”
He figures that’s the best place to start, the root of the confusion, the thing everything else hinges off on. His voice cracks a little and he has to clear his throat. There’s lingering pain shooting through his veins and the mixture of that and the other sensations he’s feeling are... strange.
Equally as strange as the fact that once Darcin leaves the room, Trita doesn’t move off of him. She doesn’t move at all, doesn’t shift her weight or anything. Just keeps herself pressed down onto him. She wasn’t born yesterday- even moreso than he had previously thought before this night- so she has to know that she’s not helping matters any for him right now.
At that thought, he finds himself biting at his own lip, looking away from her and off into a far corner of the dark room. He should be more serious about this. He’d almost died. Darcin’s right, he had been an idiot. And the Airins are the ones who will have to pay for it.
“You two don’t have to leave. I️ won’t... I️ won’t say anything.”
He knows the tone of voice it comes out in sounds whiny, not very convincing, like a child who’s trying to barter but doesn’t really know how. If the roles were reversed, Dolan would leave. But then again. Would he be able to make himself? Five years of flirting, of burning with obvious desire. Now she’s sitting here on top of him. It should matter more that she’s the creature he lives to kill. But it doesn’t. God, why doesn’t it?
He tries to shift his hips to take the pressure off, to try and force his brain to take back over thinking, since it’s clear that it hasn’t been involved in any of his thought processes so far. But that just presses her down harder against him and he has to hiss a little bit, grit his teeth, abandon the logic he’s trying so hard to summon.
“God, either get off me or go ahead and make a move already. You’re killing me.”
