Sera didn't doze off, but she did relax there, for the time being at least. She still wasn't sure what she was going to do with him, or about him. Since she hadn't fully forgiven him yet.

Taylor rubbed her back a little as they laid there. He'd reigned in his power for the time being, banking it from urgent heat to a warm, relaxed glow. There was no sense in exposing Sera to it too much, after all. He knew she'd be annoyed about it.

Sera shivered a little at that and rolled over onto her stomach. Hey, she liked the attention and he was being good for now.

"What am I going to do with you now?" The question was only mostly rhetorical.

"Letting me please you is a pretty good start," Taylor teased gently as he rubbed her back for her. "I like to think I'm good at it."

Sera snorted. "Not what I meant and you know it." But she didn't try to move away from him, either. "You're too damn confusing is what you are."

"I try not to be," Taylor replied. "How am I confusing?"

"You just are." Sera settled down again. "Because I know I'm supposed to be mad at you, or at least annoyed."

"I know I can't be completely human for you," Taylor said softly, pulling her close. "But I can still try, if you want me to. If that's what's bothering you."

Sera shook her head. "No, that doesn't bother me. I don't want you to be something you're not. I don't want you to try and pretend you're human around me." Which was true. She just didn't like some of his problem solving methods.

"Then tell me what you want me to do," Taylor replied. If she wanted him to stop trying to play human, then he would. At least, for her. He still had to pretend for the rest of the human world.

Sera sighed. "I don't know. I don't want you to feed off other people, not like you did with the siren. I just..." She shrugged, rather helplessly, and shifted so her face was hidden in her pillow, and her words were muffled. "I just want you to be comfortable enough around me to be you, not a face."

"Sera, I can feed another way," Taylor said gently. "It's possible. The siren only happened because I was starving. It won't get to that point again." He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close, kissing the top of her head softly. "You would be surprised at how little of a mask I really have. The only difference before was that I was trying to keep that side of me away from you so it didn't make you uncomfortable." He snorted softly. "I guess I kind of screwed that one up a bit."

"Just a bit," Sera said, her voice dry, but she snuggled up a little against him anyway. "So you're not going to keep that from me anymore, right?" Because it never hurt to be doubly sure.

"I won't," Taylor confirmed, holding her close. He would make sure to try to break the habit he had formed of censoring himself for her. He loosened his hold on his power just slightly. "Do you like what you feel?"

Sera nodded. "It's nice," she said after a moment. "Kinda warm." In a good way, though. She'd definitely felt worse things in her life.

"It can be a lot more than warm," Taylor replied. He gave her a gentle kiss, dialing up the power for a moment before banking it again.

Sera shivered briefly at that, returning the kiss easily. "So I can tell," she murmured. "Does that make you hungry, though?"

"Eventually," Taylor replied. "I'll be alright for a while yet. It's not like I turn it up all the time." He gave a wry grin. "It would make being around people kind of hard."

"I can imagine. You'd have to start beating them off with sticks." Sera gave him a look. "And you would be beating them off."

"Of course," Taylor replied. He grinned a bit. "Although by that point I could probably set them on each other and sit back to leave them to it for a bit." He shrugged. "It would be like a free meal."

"That... is almost amusing, actually." Sera couldn't help but grin at that. "You could make your own orgy without even participating."

Taylor snorted.

"If I felt like it, I probably I could," he agreed. He grinned a bit. "It's no fun that way, though," he teased.

Sera snorted. "You better not go experiment," she said, poking him in the chest for emphasis. "Or you're really not getting off the hook, not even with a nice massage. And other things."

"Yes ma'am," Taylor replied with a grin. "No experiments with the general public." He kissed her. "Only with you."

"I approve of that plan," Sera muttered before kissing him again. She was definitely less pissed at him now.
