You leaned in, then, closing your eyes as you saw her meeting you halfway. Your lips met, and her warmth was somehow greater than that of the dwindling flame beside you. Like before, her kiss was a hungry one, and you met it with equal fervor and enthusiasm.
She began to undo her clothing, but you placed a hand over hers to stop her. At first, she gave you a frustrated expression, likely thinking that you were trying to lead her on again.
<span class="mu-r">“Wanna come back to my place? I promise it’s more comfortable than the park.”</span> you offered.
Her expression softened then, and you could see a teasing smile return to her lips. <span class="mu-g">“That remains to be seen.”</span> she whispered.

While she worked on cleaning up the evidence of your cookout, you scooped Cindy up in your arms and shook her awake. It was practically impossible to swing back to the warehouse without startling her, so you figured that you’d wake her now and prevent the heart attack.
You told Anastasia to follow you as best as she could, and to your surprise, she was more or less able to keep up with you. The speed and agility that she displayed during your journey was clearly superhuman, and it made you wish that you could’ve seen her fight off that army of vampires back in that crematorium. It was like watching a fierce jungle cat leap from tree to tree, nimble and graceful as can be.
When you finally arrived, you wasted no time in tucking Cindy in for the night and dragging Annie further inside. She gave your home an assessing glance as she tossed her cloak aside, before returning her gaze to you.
<span class="mu-r">“What do you think?”</span> you asked. <span class="mu-r">“Roomy, huh?”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“I suppose I have lived in worse conditions.”</span> she said with a shrug. <span class="mu-g">“At least there are no mosquitos.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">“But you still haven’t even seen the bed.”</span> you argued. <span class="mu-r">“It’s pretty new, so I thought maybe we could…break it in a bit.”</span>
Anastasia gave you a coquettish grin as she looked you up and down. <span class="mu-g">“That is perhaps the best suggestion you’ve had all night.”</span>
You took her by the hand and led her towards your bedroom. Before you let her in, though, you made sure that the room was suitably clean, or at least clean enough that it wouldn’t serve to distract your lady friend. But right as you were about to give her the all clear, the words got stuck in your throat when you saw Anastasia’s naked figure entering the room.
Her discarded clothes littered the floor outside, and she gave you a knowing smile as you drank in her form. She was muscular, but not so much that it would be unappealing. Those rock hard muscles did nothing to hide her curves or the soft complexion of her supple skin. And while it might have been covered by scars and scratches alike, you felt that it didn’t subtract from her beauty.
