Fateful 2-Fractured

Figuring it was too late anyway, she caught it between her molars and pressed. Sure enough, a flavor that seemed quite a bit like kiwi exploded in her mouth. “Weird,” she said around the bits of candy, and what a relief it was it didn’t taste like blood!
After the candy was gone, she took inventory of her injuries noting that they were actually healing. “How do you feel, Ethan? Any different?”
“I definitely feel mortal now.”
“You do?” How come she didn’t feel that way?
Bursting into a rumble of chuckles, Ethan said, “I’m only teasing. I feel the same, however, since it is night...” With that he shoved her back into the bed they were sitting on, crawled over her, and pressed his ear to her heart. “Hmm, nothing yet.”
“Really?”
“Maybe it takes a moment,” he said, remaining where he was, his entire weight pressing her into the mattress. Dragging fingers through his hair she decided she liked that. She always had. “There!”
“Now?”
Listening a moment longer, he lifted his head and said, “Do you feel it?”
Frowning. “Mmm, not really.”
Dragging her hand from his hair, he pressed her palm against her chest. “Now do you feel it?” Instead she reached for her other wrist and pushed her thumb into her wrist. She’d always been able to feel it better that way. Then she felt it. Excited now, she twisted and shoved his back to the mattress. Laughing, Ethan allowed it as she straddled his hips and dropped her head against his chest to listen. Like music to her ears, his mortal heart pumped out a perfect beat.
Rising up, Danielle smiled at him forgetting her fears for the moment. They could eat food again, and.... Distracting her from those thoughts, Ethan curled strong fingers around her nape and drew her mouth to his. Before kissing her, he blew, filling her lungs with the same delicious breath he’d been able to treat her with before. Then as his mouth began to move over hers, he mumbled against her lips, “Ready for baby number two?”
