Honey, I'm home!

[1stmacleod]

Connor's well settled into Kai's world by now, and looking forward to moving out someplace less civilized where he can stretch his legs, but thanks to the PINpoint he still makes regular visits back home. Having reunited with Duncan, he's not about to let him go again, and he still has a lot of investments there. Furnishing a new home will be no trouble, with as much antique furniture as he has in storage, and he'll always feel an attachment to the world he comes from. In some part of his heart, Scotland is always home.

Becoming a visitor in his own world has made him less cautious, though, in subtle ways. No one could ever accuse Connor of being careless; paranoia is part of his reputation. Still, when he goes back to check on his business affairs, he's just plain not expecting another immortal.

It's no one he knows, and that's trouble. Whether they know him or not, he may never know. The fight is brutal, and on the long side. Connor's not too badly out of practice, thanks to daily kata and erratically training Jelani, but he's psychologically out of the habit. There's no chance to mentally prepare himself, and that leaves him feeling off his footing.

By the time it's over, he's not really thinking straight, but his first impulse is to go home. home. Home is where Kairos is, so he PINpoints back straight into the living room, the device in his hand sparking and electricity crackling faintly on the air around him. He's been cut up a little, but the other immortal is much worse off, being in two pieces back in a quiet warehouse.

"The bite, or...." she bites him again experimentally.

He gives another low moan that vibrates through his whole body, and struggles for actual words. "More everything. More you. Ohhh..." For a moment he bows his head until it's tucked against her, and his voice comes softer. "Don't ever want to let go..." He means it metaphorically as well as physically, but he's more than a little overwhelmed right now.

She laughs softly, and moves experimentally. "You don't have to let go. I'm right here for you, forever and ever." And she digs her fingers into her back.

He gasps and gives a spasmodic thrust, then presses his forehead against her shoulder. "Forever... in my head... It's too long..." His eyes are squeezed shut tight, but a few tears leak out and drop onto her bare skin.

And it's that that finally worries her. She can take anything but the tears. "Don't be sad, please?" she asks urgently

His emotions, like his energy level, are running more than a little high right now. He just absorbed the essence of another immortal, and that takes time to settle and leaves the recipient unbalanced until it does. He's had worse, though, and struggles to keep a hold on himself. "I... oh... I'm scared. I'll lose you. I don't deserve this." He gasps out, and then gives her shoulder a kiss that turns into a bite even though there are still tears on his face.

She just moans at the bite, and arches up against him. "Not gonna lose me. Stuck like glue to you."

"Even if... I'm terrible for you?" He's breathing hard, still very aroused and kissing her skin between words.
