"It's- overwhelming. Not even processing everything I love you too, so much, impossibly much." Kiss!!

(The Shadows have disappeared)

So much kiss! She notices she was still biokinetically shifted into a weaker shape so she shores her body up some more. "Let's—do you wanna find somewhere—"

"Away from our friends the shadows' shiny new house? Do let's. But this is wilderness, doesn't need to be far." He dashes into the forest, marveling at the details.

He finds himself breaking a deer's neck without having thought about it.

"...Um. Sadde maybe I should let you lead in case there's hikers or something."

"—right, yes. And, hold your breath, you don't need to breathe and it will help."

He does that. After saying, "I think I could get used to it mostly by making a habit of thinking about things before doing them but yeah... Actually should I try to, um, drink this deer? Or what? Can you make stuff that's better in some way?"

"I can make human blood and it tastes delicious but is bad for self-control and mental faculties; I can produce endless quantities of any animal's blood, though, and some animals taste less rancid than others so I was thinking to offer you a selection until I found something you hated less."

"...Right let's do that, the burning is, um, unpleasant and distracting."

"Right, yes. Let's find an appropriately isolated place first, though—"

They're already in wilderness. An island inhabited only by small and medium size animals is easy to get to. Terel holds his breath the whole way, while looking longingly at Sadde.

And once there Sadde can produce small quantities of blood of various animals.

None of them are particularly good. He chooses some variety of bear to fill up on. "Thank you, Sadde, I'm sure you are the best girlfriend I could possibly ever have."

"Objectively speaking... yes, I am."

And now he's full of bear she can pounce on him, right?

Pouncing might be mutual!

Good. How much brain does he have to spare for clothes? Because otherwise they might make a mess of them...

Too late. They'll just have to find the suitcases they dragged out here later.

So much kissing and touching and caressing, with an entirely new appreciation for how unutterably hot Sadde is. Her lips are perfect. Her eyes are perfect. Her breasts are perfect. Her scent is perfect. He says all these things.

And amongst the enhanced senses is touch, as he'll find out as soon as she can get him to.

Eeeeee best girlfriend/mate~~ Terel is the one to initiate the main event, this time. Unless she objects.

Is he kidding oh my god she does not object—

—and he will find out she's been holding back.

"Oh stars, oh my staaars." They're going to make use of the vampiric lack of refractory period almost immediately.

"I think I remember you saying new vampire couples could do this for days. I love you. Let's do this for days."

"Oh god yes do let's. And—"

"—variety's the spice of life."

He doesn't even mind the difference a bit in the back of his head like usual. Just reaches down and - carefully - uses vampire dexterity, while kissing him some more.

Vankire dexterity is so useful.

The final count is... Five days before Terel is thirsty again. And another few hours after that until he finally suggests, "I'm starting to want to fetch up all my notes and crack down on computers some with my shiny new brain."

"Awww, already?" he jokes.
