"It's just...I'm sorry. I mean--I took advantage. You were trying to be a good friend and I just..."

*Genghis looked slightly concerned. No one 'took advantage' of him. He touched her cheek softly, guiding her to turn her face up to his. He kissed her once more. Parting lips, he looked down with a foreign softness in his eye.*
"There. Now we are even. Do you feel better?"

"Truth be told...I don't know...I sure don't feel normal," *she said quietly, barely able to breath.*

*Genghis pursed his lips for a moment.*
"Do you feel...bad?"
*He looked concerned that he might have hurt her.*

*Emily chewed on her lower lip.*
"No. I mean, I've felt worse in...similar circumstances. Comparatively, I feel good."

*Genghis's gaze searched hers, trying to read the complexity whose name is Woman.*
"Are you cross with me? Do you want me to stop?"

"Stop what?" *her blank ignorance wasn't feigned--she really was that dense.*

"This."
*Genghis gently pressed his lips to hers once more, stroking her hair gently.*

*She sighed lightly and inched nearer, her hand returning to his shoulder only to continue sliding up his neck.*
"No..." *she mumbled.*

*Genghis pulled her closer, wrapping his strong arms around her, lifting her slightly to kiss her deeply.*
*He stops and rolls his eyes.* "Brandi says I have to say 'are you really really sure?' because she respects you or something and won't let me do much more than this until she gets the ok. What a prude."

*Emily snorted* "Tell her shut up from me; you're Yul frigging Brynner!"
"Mmm...hold on--" *Emily broke the kiss and leaned back despite her baser instincts and everything she'd read in Harlequins.* "What's the plan here?"

*Genghis blinked.*
"To make you feel better...however you would like me to."
*The words were calm and almost innocent.*

*Her gaze narrowed.*
"Let me be more specific--what are you going to try and get away with, if I let you?"

Don't be unkind. I'm trying to help.
*Genghis sighed softly.*
"You know that I am a man and like any other, left to our own will, we will take as much as we can. But to you, I mean no disrespect in such an act. I want to comfort you. If such an act will not do so, I will not ask it of you."
*He cupped her face gently and brushed her cheek with his thumb.*
"What would you have of me?"

*She gazed at him seriously.*
"Would you unmake my terror and give me dreams above nightmares?" *she asked softly.* "Would you prove to me that...that there can be something besides violence? And if you would--can you, even? Am I foolish to ask that of you?"
