Ryan closed his eyes and took a deep breath as her warmth moved away from him. He opened his eyes and looked at Juliettee. His gaze washed over her, then glanced back at the bed behind her, and then back to her. "Only on one condition..." He started, a curious light in his eyes. He walked up to her, giving her less and less space, making her take more and more steps backward until the back of her knees met his mattress. He looked at her with pleading eyes. "...will you help make me feel something else?"

And it never completely goes away, the hurt that is, but it mostly goes away."
