Arms wrapped about each other at night as Jewell helped Skyler as she had promised. Seeing him injured had upset her, was still upsetting. He had refused her offer to heal him and she retracted it knowing he would be better off with someone more experienced with bullet wounds. They were not her specialty and she cringed just looking at them, knowing what mayhem they caused within the body. Yet, she was reluctant not to do anything to aid him, so the offer for energy had come up. He had lost a lot of blood, so much so that he should not have been out of his bed that night and at her side at the Inn.

She chided him regarding that until they left together, returning to bed eagerly as they always did. Yet, it wasn?t lover?s passion that awaited them there, just a sweet embrace. She would guide him off to sleep, rest, healing with gentle strokes of his hair and arms curled about his body.

He had been enticed by the idea of receiving her energy, that vital force that kept her alive and the intimacy of the act involved. She would readily admit that it was intimate for her in a way as she was giving a part of herself to another, filling them with herself to a degree. He would have to reveal to her if it was as he imagined, for she was only aware of her own feelings in the experience and not others?.

She settled her hands on his chest and back, touching his skin for the most immediate contact. She whispered sweet things in his ear-sometimes in Common and at others in Evlish or that bird-like language that Faeries will speak to each other in-as she began to feed that energy into him, so slowly that only the tips of her fingers were lit by a familiar blue glow.

And what would he feel? The touch of her fingers on his body, burning with energy and that energy entering his body: warm yet cool and soothing as water. Strength renewed as she worked at replenishing what was lost. Her presence surrounding him, much like her arms, pervading him and flooding his senses. She was everywhere.

Everywhere indeed.

In a way, Skyler realized, Jewell was like the devil ? whom she had in her clutches she surrounded with flames.

Such was the way the boy felt whenever he basked in the fae woman?s propinquity ? and never more so than at that moment ? as if that powerful, invigorating warmth of healing threatened to consume him. Euphoria crawled all over his face, like a kitten, but not so playfully. He wriggled in peaceful rhythm on the fluffy white linens of his bed, Jewell?s embrace as rapturous as baking naked in warm oil.

The room was dark. The curtains were drawn. Skyler?s bare, slender chest rose and fell in ragged tempo as the bullet wound in his abdomen endured its repairs. He felt the tissue beneath the skin knit back together, the muscle cords of his abdominals reconnecting. In her arms, beneath her glowing blue fingertips, he writhed softly against Jewell and whimpered her name.

Tears spilled from his eyes as her energy filled him. He nuzzled his face into her chest, elated shivers prancing along his body from the crown of his head to the tips of his toes. Although he couldn?t understand most of her words, they were as welcome as rain in the drought that was his body. Those different languages fluttered into his ears, yellow butterflies flickering along in the darkness like flecks of sun. He would offer soft, innocent responses to her whispered things; unintelligible, like baby talk. Even he had no idea what he said, yet he continued to slur out precious, affectionate incoherencies of gratitude and bliss.

When it was over, Skyler clung to Jewell. Later he would recount the experience, and tell her of the ecstasy of her energy. But for the now, as they rested together in the trench of his bed, their bodies forming a single entanglement of limbs and dark hair, he simply purred against her, a blue light pulsing behind his eyes.
