"I could always say as you wish or something corny like that." He joked. 

Wesley finished the massage and listened to Hana about how it felt. He was glad to have helped her aching back, even if he couldn't cure it right away. Her pride had been injured, as was his, but she had a solution to that. He blushed slightly as she said he could fix it. 

"I'll do my best." He said with a small smile. 

She requested that he stripped but it was more of a cute demand than anything else. He didn't mind stripping, since they had already seen each other without clothes. But when she mentioned how she was going to make him pay for the next inn he decided to move a little faster. Wesley didn't have a single coin to his name and he wasn't keen on letting people know that. He began removing his shirt when suddenly Hana leaned in to help. Together they managed to get him undressed. When he looked over to Hana he could see the glow of the fire illuminating her. Gods, she was pretty. 

"You do know how to massage, right?" He said with a cheeky little smile. 

Wesley had no idea where this was going but he was unafraid to challenge her a little. 

“That is really corny~” She cooed up at him and smirked. “Yes, my lady sounds sexy so we will stay with it. Now, I just have to find something I can say to you.”

After getting him undressed she mulled over his question. “I know how to bruise people…” She held her arms in a shrug. “I’m not a healer Ma is. Now, let me see if I can’t poke you just right like you poke me.” She flung herself around him and dragged him with her. “So… next best thing,” she tickled her fingers across his skin until she felt a reaction.

Once she had discovered the spot she laid in and tickled him until she felt her arms get tired. She had tears on the edge of her eyes from laughing at him laughing. “Alright, I can do this. Show me where it hurts Beau.” After he showed her she tenderly rubbed the salve in and like she had said she was terrible at it. “You are much better than I am. I’ll make it up to you…”

She thought about it. “I’ll let you ask me for anything to make up for it.” There was a tone to her that suggested she would probably do anything he asked and she was curious if he would take her up on it. She laid on her side by him and looked up at the moon.

“It’s going to be full in two days' time. Should be fun.”

He was a little concerned when she mentioned that she only knew how to bruise people. That was a useful hot thing to know but when it came to massages, that was not the most comforting thing to hear from somebody who was about to give one. Then she flung herself around him and dragged him with her. A smile appeared on his face as he looked into her eyes. He only realized what she was doing when he felt her hands reaching across his skin, tickling. She found the spot quickly and he began laughing out loud, trying to make her stop. 

"Ahaha wait-" He continued laughing until his eyes teared up. 

When she stopped he took a moment to catch his breath and to wipe his eyes. He would find out her tickle spots and get revenge later. He then laid down on his stomach to let her do her thing. She had a lack in her confidence so he made up his mind to not judge her massaging techniques. He pointed to the areas where it hurt the most and true to her words, she was horrid at it. He did his best to hold in any grunts from her accidental pressure to his bruises. The last thing he wanted was to make her feel worse about it. Once she was done, he rubbed his shoulder to ease the pain. 

"Its alright." He said quickly. 

Then she insisted and included that she would let him ask for anything. That gave him pause and an idea came to mind. This would not be the only date that they had. Wesley was determined to be sure of that. He pushed himself to a sitting position and moved closer to Hana, looking her in the eyes. He was only a few inches away from her face and could feel her breathing on his cheek. 

"If you really want to make it up to me, then promise me this." He said softly, "One more night where we can do anything."

He moved closer to her ear and whispered.

"Promise?"

“NO WAITING ONLY PLAYING,” she cut him off between their laughing.

She had to make up for how bad this was gonna be somehow and she really did feel bad about it. She winced every time he grunted. “I’m so sorry!” She probably apologized a dozen times during the time. She didn’t want to make it worse but she had a feeling she was. “At… least you heal fast because of your lupine blood?” She laughed nervously.

Once she made the offer there was no going back. From what she knew of Wesley he would think of something meaningful but if it was something more she wouldn’t have been angry. Her body froze up as he got near and her mouth went dry as he spoke into her ear. “Only one more night?”

She tilted her head and rolled her eyes back and forth thinking. “Mmm…” Letting him sit nervously for a few seconds. “I mean… OH DARN, you are really twisting my arm, Wesley. I mean I had only planned on traveling with you everywhere until you banished me,” she spoke softly at the end and leaned over to kiss his ear.

“I promise but one on one condition,” she put her lips to his neck. “It’s more than just one. That should make up for a lifetime of bad massages that I’m bound to dish over your lifetime.” Her mother had once told her there was no point in dating if you weren’t going to plan ahead. That it was just fooling around at that point and you shouldn’t lead a person on if that was the case.

For a second, he was worried since she wasn't responding right away. Had he been too forward? Or was he asking too much? Then she spoke and put his concerns to ease with some additional teasing. She was wanting to stay with him? This was a…surprise. He wanted to be with her but there was a small part of him that whispered, she will leave you, into his mind. It was a part of him he disliked but…it was strong. Every time somebody left him that little thought became louder. It was a relief to hear her say that she would stay. A relief, a pleasure, a gift. 

"I'll be here as long as you want me." He said, "Its a deal." 

He smiled at her comments about the bad massages. Her massages were terrible but it was worth it if he got to be with her. Wesley wrapped his arms around her and held her for a few moments, afraid that this was all some sort of dream. If it was, he never wanted to wake up. For once in his life he had somebody who would be there for him just as much as he would be there for her. Never to be lost or forgotten again. He released her and pressed his lips to hers. After a few seconds he pulled back. 

"So how do you want to spend the rest of our night?" Wesley asked. 

He hoped that his actions hadn't weirded her out. Wesley knew that sudden hugs were a bit strange. His hand brushed aside a leaf that had gotten caught in her hair while he gazed at her. 

“Ohhh~ Then you are in for a long haul because I am the most stubborn person you will ever meet on the face of Revaliir. If someone dares argue it I’ll fight them… Though Aunt Toya might beat me out…”

Hana snuggled into him and being a half lycanthrope he was a tad bit warmer than she was which was nice. It felt like a low roaring fire around her and was comfortable. “Well,” she said displeased after she kissed him back, “for starters, don’t leave me in the cold.” She started to laugh. “Tease.”

After mulling over the options she gave him a smirk he would get acquainted with fast. It was mischievous, “I have a few ideas. Now the question is… Do you trust me?”

Absolutely having no idea what they were doing past things they had been told and/or read they ventured into the night. It was a bit of a learning curve for Hana since she wasn’t used to being gentle with… well, anyone. It made it worse because they were both bruised but there was some laughter about it.

Most of the time had been spent being absolutely nervous and eventually, Hana had asked Wesley to take over the situation. After the learning situation had passed successfully with no ghosts this time Hana snuggled up to him and pulled the extra blanket over them. Gentle kisses were laid to his neck before nuzzling it softly. “Still wanna stay with me?”

"With my life." Wesley said with a grin. 

They didn't know what they were doing and that was okay. Wesley was guessing based on the romance novels while he assumed she knew this from being told. He was learning, since he wasn't used to any of this. They made a few mistakes along the way and were able to laugh about it. The fact that they were already bruised up didn't help but they were able to make a good time out of it. 

Eventually, Hana asked Wesley to take over which he was able to. He was careful to balance having fun and making sure she was comfortable with what he was doing. He behaved a bit more aggressive at times then would become sweeter. There were no ghosts or spirits to interrupt. It was just them and the forest, nobody else to bother them. Soon they had finished and Hana snuggled up to him, pulling an extra blanket over them.

He returned her gentle kisses with his own before wrapping his arms around her to hold her. It had been a wonderful night, despite all the mistakes. Now he knew that this would not only be the night they could be together. They had all the nights ahead of him. He had something in his life to look forward to. Even if it was just her company, it made everything worthwhile. She asked him if he still wanted to stay. 

"Yes, my lady." He said.
