"So let's sleep together. Because you can absorb ether from me."
Brandon blinked, momentarily caught off guard by the straightforward offer.
He sat up slowly, leaning back against the headboard as he looked at her face.
Rheanne didn't look embarrassed or hesitant.
Her expression was gentle, almost matter-of-fact, though there was a subtle softness in her eyes that showed she understood exactly how intimate the suggestion was.
"I felt it earlier when we held hands," she continued. "The flow is stronger when we're in closer contact... skin to skin. Sleeping together will allow you to recover much faster than holding hands alone."
She tilted her head slightly, watching his reaction "Unless… you're uncomfortable with that?"
Brandon let out a slow breath, rubbing the back of his neck.
"No, it's not that. I'm just... surprised you offered so directly."
