He Comforts Her

Blake sat watching the Doe squirm. He found himself too conflicted, unable to act. On the one hand, part of him fumed. Not due to the sex, but due to the betrayal. He had felt like he'd been pushed into it. He'd reasoned that feeling away, that was comfortable doing it, but now all that had cone flooding back. On the other hand, he certainly didn't have any desire to **** this, and he couldn't let Lexi be like this. She was in pain, he could see. He had to act.

He reached out an arm, wrapping it around Lexi's shivering body. She still wasn't crying, just shaking with emotion. At his touch, she collapsed into him, nuzzling against his chest. He fully embraced her. He could feel her pulse racing, faster now than even when she had climaxed.

She whimpered softly at his chest, perhaps going to say something, but Blake shushed her. He didn't trust himself to keep his temper lest she say something else to rile him up. That other part of him was still simmering away at the edge of his conscience.

As they hugged, he could slowly feel his anger ebb away and her heartbeat began to slow. Neither moved for some time. Blake didn't know what to say, and doubted she did either.

When Blake finally released her she moved up to look him in the eye. She leaned forward and kissed him, whispering a "Thank you." as their lips parted. This finally banished the last of Blake's anger and he felt relieved.

He picked up his shirt, now creased and began to put it on. Lexi too, began to pick up her clothes and re-dress. As she button up her blouse, she pulled it down with an errant finger, giving him a good view of her cleavage, smirking.

"I did mean it. Thank you. Anytime ya want come an' use these."

Blske raised an eyebrow before laughing. It almost felt absurd, the sudden change in mood, but he appreciated it none the less. He needed it as much as she did.

"I may take you up on that." He responded, a touch of levity to his voice, "After all, if you're that sensitive up there, I'll have to see if I can beat my time..."

Lexi faked offence, and laughed along with him.

The two left the room arm in arm, chuckling at their antics.
