Sasha wondered what he could teach him. He couldn't even touch it. It was why he had ended it early. Or at least that's what he thought he remembered. It was a bit of a blur thinking past the pain.
Oriena asked what he wanted. And he honestly didn't know. No one had really ever asked that question before. As a kid he wanted to be safe, loved. Now... now he just wanted a warm bed, a roof over his head. A hot meal would be nice. Sasha sighed. "What more is there beyond the necessities, Oriena? What does power get me if I have nothing? Had nothing. I can't rule like the Ascendancy. I don't want to save people like your friend. What did you want?" He ran his fingers across her jaw and down her neck. He caressed her skin like she deserved. He wished he could do more, take more, but this was not a woman who would be taken like that. At least not for long.
