You take hold of her hand, the very one with that blood smearing over the soft skin. The color is abnormal, mutant. But to her it isn't even something to bat an eye at.

She watches you hold her hand. She knows you are staring at those few droplets of blood coating it.

You bend your head down and press a kiss to those stained knuckles.

In you head, you part your lips and slowly suck each of those digits into your mouth. Your tongue would work slowly and casually to clean off every drop of that sweet liquid.

Instead, you keep your mouth closed. You have far more control of yourself than the stories would have you believe.

With as much grace as you can muster, you lift your head away from her hand.
