Adrian barely stirred when Stephen cleaned them up, tilting his head back obediently when he looked at his neck to check for marks. His throat was slightly sore but it was nothing that wouldn't pass in a few hours.
It took him a while to calm down, body still trembling afterwards and he didn't even look towards the others, concentrating on kissing Stephen back, giving him whatever he wanted. He knew he'd been a brat, more out of uncertainty than anything else, but that didn't mean he couldn't atone.
His train of thought was broken by Stephen's words and he smiled a little at the emotions he could hear in Stephen's voice, wishing he could say he loved him too but knowing better than to talk out of turn.
