Ric licked at the trickle of blood that escaped before Damon's skin knit back together, breathing harsh and heart pounding.

There could be little doubt that Damon had enjoyed himself, feeling the release against him and echo of it inside his own satisfaction, but he was still... shocked at himself. He had never in his life bitten someone hard enough to break skin. At least not someone he liked, or in an intimate situation.

"Sorry," he managed, breathlessly. "Are you all right?"

Ric remembered last night, and was torn between the belief that Damon didn't know how, and the idea that Damon just wasn't into touch. Or he would have been, without the 'scene' in the kitchen, and the follow-up in the shower. That was enough to give him a clue, and for him to roll over into Damon. "Do you actually sleep on your back?"

Damon took the cue and shifted to settle more against Alaric. He smiled a little, one shoulder lifting in a shrug. "Most of the time, yes..."

"Good."

That was his cue to throw an arm over Damon's waist, and hook one of his ankles over one of Damon's. He tucked his fingers under Damon's back, and pressed his nose into the hair at Damon's temple. "Wake me up if you get up, please?"

[prodigalsavior]

Damon slid a hand up along Ric's arm, fingertips lightly stroking, until he curled around his bicep and held it there. He closed his eyes, feeling Ric's breath against his cheek and nodded.

"I will."

Ric relaxed rather a lot when Damon gave his word and took hold of his arm. "Thank you," he murmured, and, with the rain scented, cool, air coming through the window very quickly drifted back to sleep.

It took Damon a little bit to drift off, uncertain of the whole situation, but he finally did, snuggled up against Alaric and tumbling into dreams.
