Ash grinned at her, knowing the fact that he was wearing only his jeans would throw her off just a tad but that she would be able to handle it now, "Because I knew you'd figure out what I was talking about at some point. Besides, if I'm not patient with you, you'll run... Better a bit of patience now than a whole passel of regret later... You're worth the time and any amount of waiting, Sekmetis..." he told her softly, deliberately drawing out her name this time so that she'd understand what he meant when he said all of the real her...
He sat up on one elbow and ran his other hand through his knee-length black hair, inadvertently spreading it out around him a bit more in the process. He couldn't help it that he looked the way he did, it was just the older demonic genetics at work. He simply was the way he was and he made no apologies about it. In fact, he got quite a few compliments on it, and even more passes.
But with her, he was calm and enticing. Yes, he looked like the perfect dream come true, but he was also inviting to be around. All of it deliberate and just for her. All of his focus on her and what she needed from him right now. Namely, she needed to come to him, not the other way around.
"So... What was it you wanted to talk about?" he asked her simply, giving her a wink that held a bit of humor as well.

He watched every movement she made and noted the way she avoided looking at him as much as possible. It was adorable even if it was counterproductive to why she'd come here.
But then she gave him that ultimatum and looked so vulnerable standing there at the foot of his bed.
He shifted a little bit and started to crawl slowly towards her, the movement of his jeans against the crimson silk fully audible to her, so he knew she couldn't be surprised when he stopped in front of her. He shifted a bit so that he was sitting with his legs on either side of her and raised his hands to lightly trace the skin of her arms from her elbows to her shoulders until he could cup her face gently in his hands until she had to look him in the eyes.
"Metis... This will be one day at a time, as I told you before. I won't drop you and move on for someone else on a whim. If or when you and I part ways, you will know about it and have time to prepare for it... But it will not be for another woman, not on my part. If or when I leave, it will be at the whim of my king, not the dictates of a moment. I may be an Incubus but I'm not heartless, Beautiful..." he told her simply and softly, his voice like pure passion incarnate as he gave her the truth and let her see it in his dark eyes.
But once he'd finished speaking, he let his hands trail back down to her hands and focused on her right one at first, massaging the muscles to get her to relax a bit, "Sweetheart... Whatever happens between us will remain between us... When we do part ways, you will know just how much our time meant to me and just how precious a gift I find you to be... But before anything happens, you need to relax and calm down... Otherwise, you're likely to pull a muscle... Maybe several..." he told her, finishing with a glint of humor in his eyes, letting her know that there was no pressure to anything they did and that she actually held the control in the hands he was so gently and tenderly massaging...

He didn't want to but this time he did laugh, a joyous sound that actually surprised him but he remembered that he had something to say to her and calmed himself as he used her hands to pull her back to him and settled his hands at her hips so that he could look up at her, his dark eyes dancing with humor.
"Metis, Sweetheart... I'm alot older than you think I am... I'm also alot more experienced than you would like to think I am... That means I've had lovers since the time I knew what females were... Shortly after humans evolved into being... I've even been with a few shifters so that possessive streak you're talking about holds no worries for me. But I'll make you a deal, Sweetness, I'll help you deal with that better if you'll help keep every other female in this place off of me. I really don't want to have to kick yet another maid out of my rooms. They tend to cry when I do so," he said to her, his laughter coloring his voice.
He couldn't stop grinning either, finding that he hadn't smiled or laughed this much since she left him. But she had no place in this moment, not anymore.
Oh no, he had this lovely, and voluptuous, shifter in front of him and he was determined to have claw marks in his back by morning.
"Now are you going to kiss me or leave me hanging here?" he asked her finally, knowing that at this rate they'd pick all of this to death and nothing would really get accomplished...

"You should stop wiggling like that or you won't get what I brought up for you," Ash's voice warned her from behind her. As she turned to look at him, it became obvious what her 'wiggling' had done to him. And he wasn't bothering to hide his interest at all.
"Lay back against the pillows for me," he told her as he finally walked forward with a tray in his hands. Once she was in place, he set the tray over her lap but didn't lift any of the covers just yet.
Instead, he sat beside her facing her and reached forward to push one wayward curl behind one of her ears, "I want you to indulge me for a little while, Metis... I want to do something you might protest. I want to feed you this meal. I know you're very obviously capable of feeding yourself but I want to do this for you. I want to do this because I want to pamper you for a little while. I want you to let me take care of you for the rest of the day, in fact. You'll be surprised how fast it goes by if you'll let me do this," he requested of her.
He explained it because he wanted her to understand what he wanted to do and why. Well, maybe not all of why just yet. But he did hope she'd be able to see why by the time he was finished.
He tilted his head as he looked into her eyes, "Will you let me, Metis?" he asked her softly, that question letting her know that she could deny him at any point, that she actually had the control...

Ash just winked at her as he lifted the first lid and revealed a plate of venison roast, complete with the usual vegetables and all cooked and seasoned to perfection. He also poured her a small amount of red wine to go with it, mainly to enhance the flavors of the meal.
He left the other smaller dish covered for now.
He speared the first bite and offered it to her, making a very pleased sound when she ate it. He kept that up until she'd finished every bite and about half the wine in the glass. Then he lifted the cover from the smaller plate and revealed a bowl of fresh fruit with chocolate whipped cream for her dessert.
He gave a soft chuckle at the light in her beautiful eyes at the sight but concentrated himself on feeding her until she was stuffed.
Finally, though, he set the tray aside and moved back to give her a kiss, just to taste the dessert, then surprised her by scooping her up into his arms and carried her towards the stairs, "And now... It's time for a bath... Where I fully intend to bathe every inch of you. After that, I'm planning on giving you a massage. Then, when you're nothing but putty under my hands, I'll let you rest for a bit," he informed her as he carried her down to the second floor where a steaming bath awaited them, already scented with jasmine and sandalwood oils.

Ash just chuckled as he slowly stepped down into the tub with her in his arms, letting her get used to the water along the way, "We shall see... In the meantime, I fully intend to treat you as you deserve to be treated," he told her simply then set her in his lap in the water as he reached for the bathing oils that would blend in nicely with the ones scenting the water.
He started cleaning her up with the special oil that brought up luxurious suds as they cleaned yet still left skin, fur, scales, and all manner of hide feeling perfectly moisturized. As he rubbed the oil into her skin first, he let his hands ease a few initial muscle knots but saved the rest for the full massage.
Instead, he moved on to her hair, choosing a softly scented mixture of the exotic jasmine and sandalwood with a blending of frankincense and myrrh. He knew she'd recognize the latter two since she hailed from Egypt, but couldn't find it in himself to resist adding the scents to her new hair oil.
The stuff would lean her hair perfectly yet leave it feeling like the purest of silks. Add to that, his scalp massage and he knew she'd be purring by the time he finished with the full massage he had planned for her...
"I think, dearest Metis, that what you meant was that you wouldn't want to leave my rooms if I keep this up..." he teased her a bit, knowing exactly what he was doing...
