Hayden chuckled. Never thought he'd be talking about a lover to another in his bed while they weren't present anyway. But he didn't want to talk about Nox. This wasn't about him, or Nox. Totally all her still. Hayden propped up his head with his hand behind his head and rested against the pillows behind him. "You did scare me, but that's not on you. Now don't take offense, but I don't know of another way to say it so I'll just be blunt and totally Atharim about it. But I don't do monsters. I'm not saying you are a monster, but I don't hunt monsters. I hunt people. I'm a people person. Nox is the first person to be anywhere close to being a monster and truth be told I do not want to be stuck in a dark alley with him when the horde has a fucking latch on his brain. And you got wolfy on me. Not in a bad way, you didn't hurt me, but there was a moment that told me you'd given into the primal part of yourself. And it scared me. You impress me, the control you have. Years of hiding what you are can make things easy and other things so much harder."
He grinned over at her "I'm here to talk, to listen." He leaned closer and whispered, "To fuck." He wrapped his arm she was laying on around her and tugged her closer. "And while we are back on that, I won't get you pregnant, not because I don't function but medicinally sterile and I'm religious about taking them. I do not need a bouncing baby anything running around. I am not Nox. So fucking not ready to do that shit."
