Re: Sayuri and Kenshin (after his meetup with Stefan)
Though the Battousai was far from in control, Kenshin found himself losing some measure of control nonetheless. Of course he wanted all of what was happening between them with all his being, but there would always be that small fragment of himself that feared he was not worthy of it all the same. It was a hard mindset to break, one he'd clung to for years upon years.
And yet he could never stop himself, for he wanted her. He wanted not only to protect her and keep her safe, he wanted to touch her and to give himself to her. It was not only that instinct that had him protect those in need; it was his desire to be with her. Parting their lips for a moment, he could feel his fangs extend in a rare display of lust that he typically did not allow. Yet he did not pull away, only looked at her with an intense gaze.
"Forgive this one. I could not..." He would not bite her, not unless expressly given permission. All the while, his hands worked from her waist to cup her ass firmly, the other fingers still running through her hair.
