Sage was more than happy to kiss the girl back when she pressed her lips to his again. When she pulled away slightly, he stayed where he was, and then smiled softly. The girl kept talking, and he cocked his head slightly before sighing and sitting up to wipe the tears off her cheek and meet her eyes. "Hey....I already told you I don't care if you bite me, no?" He really didn't, but he did want the girl to be happy. "Look...we don't have to do this if you don't want to, but that was a one time mistake," he hummed softly, reaching over to squeeze her hand comfortingly. "I'll be fine, and so will you," he promised. "That won't happen again."

Claudia sighed, her breath becoming steadier, she looked over at Sage and gave a small chuckle, shaking her head. She seemed to calm down a lot when Sage spoke, really...she was happy. Claudia sighed once more and smirked, she leaned over to him, she placed her hands on his shoulder, gently laying him down on his back. She kissed him again, looked at him, she placed her head on his chest, and smiled. "Sage?" Claudia looked up at him, her eyes shining with love...affection. She slowly moved her hands to the end of his shirt, again, slowly taking it off. Claudia laid her head back on his chest, sighing.

Sage smiled when Claudia seemed to relax and feel better, and then let out a surprised (and rather pleased) giggle when she pushed him back into the bed. He kissed her back happily, and felt a thrill run down his spine when she reached to take his shirt off. He smiled and shifted so she could take it off easily and then smiled when she pressed herself back up against him. The feel of her skin against his was ...lovely, really. Nothing like anything that had happened at the tavern. No, this was all much better.

Claudia giggled quietly, "Sage, I don't know about you but I could stay like this with you forever. I don't know what you do to me but...I like it." she purred. She looked up at Sage and smiled, reaching her hand up to stroke his hair, curling it around her finger at times. Claudia held Sage's hand, bringing it close to her cheek she sighed. "I'm so glad I found you.". He would still be working at that...Tavern, if they hadn't met, he would still be forced to sleep with those women most nights...Claudia squeezed Sage's hand lovingly and just lay there for a moment, completely at peace.

Sage smiled softly and leaned his head into her hand when she reached up to play with his hair. He absentmindedly stroked her cheek with his thumb when she brought his hand to her face and smiled at the girl. "I could stay like this forever too," he purred. "you're the best thing to ever happen to me," he hummed. It was true too ..shed quite literally changed his life, saved it really. He was content to lay there for a moment, he really was. Though, deep in his head he couldn't help but wonder how far they would take this. And, well, he hoped it would be far.

Claudia smiled, "That's sweet..." she leaned in so she was by Sage's ear, whispering she said "I know what your thinking. You don't need to hide it," Claudia giggled, almost teasingly. She leaned in and gently grasped his lower ear with her teeth, this time teasingly. Claudia whispered once again, running her fingers slowly up and down Sage's chest, "You don't need to hold back, we'll be fine.". She giggled again moving her mouth to his. Teasing and taunting Sage for some weird reason was filling her with pleasure, she liked doing this to him.

Sage giggled and grinned, then gasped quietly when she nibbled at his ear. Not for any reason other than it felt nice...and, well, he was definitely excited for this. He kissed the girl back when she moved her mouth to his, thrills running up and down his spine. Man, he loved this girl. And...well, her teasing was nice. He'd never felt like this before, but he definitely liked it. He'd always liked to be the one in control, to stay out of vulnerable situations....but not here. Here, he could let himself be vulnerable, and she could toy with him and tease all she wanted, because he definitely liked it.

Claudia pretty much melted onto Sage, she entangled her legs with his and smiled. Her cheeks turned crimson as kissed him, occasionally nibbling at his lower lip. "Sage, I...your..." Claudia stopped for a moment, her dark blue eyes shining up at Sage. She remained frozen, just looking at Sage for another moment before slowly going to remove her own shirt. Claudia smiled, leaning back down on his chest. Her fingers meeting his scars at points, gently tracing them she tried not to frown. He trusted her enough to see them...Claudia continued, not noticing as much that she was making little circle motions on Sage's back. She leaned into him and sighed.

Sage grinned widely when the girl melted into him, a light blush forming on his cheeks at her little nibbles, though of course he liked it all. He felt his heart leap even faster when the girl removed her own shirt...her skin against his was warm and..well, exciting, to say the least. He shivered slightly as she ran her fingers along his scars...though it wasn't in a bad way.

Claudia felt a smile creep on her face, she giggled, and looking into Sage's eyes she melted once again. "God I...It's hard for me not to resist you, but, alas I must." Claudia didn't want them to get to...well, she didn't feel like getting pregnant very right this moment. She smiled, slowly standing up, and she rolled her eyes jokingly. "I have to take a shower though..." another smirk crossed her face as she crossed her arms, biting her bottom lip she looked at Sage.
