Don't Touch! It's Hot!

Bea pulled her hand back as she noticed his discomfort. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, it's just a scar, that's nothing you need to be ashamed off." She said as she pulled her hand back and went to sit down on the bed. She finally dared to do so now that it was clean. She bumped her legs up and down against the side of the bed, being lost in her head for a second until he spoke up again.
"If I can keep you from having to go through another round of whatever painful stuff that goes on here, I wouldn't mind being your all nighter- but no sex." She warned as she pointed a finger at him. "If you try anything weird I'm leaving immediately and I'll tell your boss that I'm not your four o'clock, is that clear?"
She sighed and relaxed slightly as she pulled a hand through her hair. "I know I can't hold my power inside forever... But if I let it go I'll just hurt the people around me. But would you be able to teach me, to control my power I mean?" She was so hopeful that she started to push her doubts out bit by bit. She had never even thought of that possibility. "Could that really be possible, me using them instead of them using me?" It Almost sounded to good to be true.

The demon seemed hurt by her words though he didn't say much about it at all. He barely even showed his pain. "So feisty~! You're going to break my heart with all of that hate flowing off of you!" He teased, his expression serious the whole time. He moved up and sat down next to her. He gently took her palm and placed it on his chest. He let his eye turn a dark black as horns erupted from his red hair. There was a strong power surging through him. You could feel it! It was amazing honestly. He opened his eye and stared at her. "Do you feel it? The raw energy raging in there?" He asked, "Its like a beast, it can be tamed but it takes a lot of time and work." He nodded, turning her hand palm up as he summoned a cold flame in her hand. "So, I was you to use your abilities to make this go out any way you can." He nodded, laying back on the bed as he watched quietly.

Bea hadn't mean for it to come out like that, but she wanted to have some safety measures, just in case. "I'm not feisty and you know it." She was back to her timid self and let him take her palm. She blushed slightly and looked in awe as his horn erupted from his head, they were beautiful. She reached out to touch them, but pulled back before she did, remembering how he had felt about the scar. It was hard though. How could he expect her not to try and touch him when he was literally magic coming alive.
"That beast in there, feels more like a monster that's waiting for the right time to swallow me whole and take over..." she said softly. Telling him what she thought was her truth. It was a continuous strain on her mind that she could not lose, because when she did it, it would not end well. After he placed the cold flame in her hand she smiled, it was something out of another world. She tried to do as he said, to extinguish the flame, but when she tried to with her magic, the flame only grew bigger, absorbing it's power. "I-I don't think that this is how it's supposed to work..." She said as she did her best and tried again, but it was in vain since it only grew in size and was now almost one and a half foot high. "Little help here please?"

He laughed softly and rested his head in her lap. "You're feeding the flame with energy. Take it away..." He spoke quietly, "Don't worry, if it gets out of control it'll burn the building down." He murmured, scratching the side of his head and feeling over the horns. He made sure the things didn't poke her though, that would be quite uncomfortable.

She was so focused on the flame that she didn't notice him lying down on her lap until he spoke. She couldn't push him away as the flame was still in the palm of her hands. "What do you mean don't worry, you just said that it could burn the building down." As she panicked slightly the flame grew and she had to do her best to focus on her own energy. Instead of pushing it out, she had to absorb it, something she had never done before. Closing her eyes she focused on her hands, and tried to pull the energy in, bit by bit until she had to stop because her own power tried to take over.

He started to doze after a long time. His chin tilting back as he relaxed in her lap. He controlled the flame, staying awake slightly to keep it going. He felt her forces trying to put it out. His were strong but she was stronger. Damn. "Don't hold back. I can feel you doing so. Let yourself work with your powers. Don't push them away. Accept them." He spoke seriously, looking up at her eyes until he closed his own. "You've got it. If you can put out the flame, you're on the right track." He nodded, yawning softly.

She sighed and tried to do what he had said, but she was afraid, her thoughts were getting cloudier as her power tried to take over. "But what if  he takes over again..." She said before she bit her lip and looked down at the demon, she needed the reasurance that nothing was going to go wrong. She tried it again but this time did it quickly she absorbed the flame in one go, but after she did she folded double and held her head at each side, trying to keep her power dormant, her eyes glowed faintly red as it was fighting to get out.

"Then I will help you. Let it. Trust me." He spoke, sitting up to place his hand at her shoulders. He was serious. "Let it take over but keep dominance. Become friends." He warned, slowly holding her pretty hands to make sure she focused on him. What was the point if she wouldn't listen? Huh? He watched her though, gripping her side softly. "Deep breaths. Let it out."

She nodded and did her best, she tried to focus on his hands and channeled the excess of power into him, so that she wouldn't send it outwards at random. She breathed slowly and tried to push the power back down as she tried to keep a hold of it, and it worked slowly but surely. She looked up at her eyes glowing red with power. "What now?" Her voice weak. Her body hurt from the fact that she was opposing the power, it didn't like being caged and wanted her back into submission.

The man's eyes were glowing a deep red as he tried to digest the raw power naturally. Though, it was a little bit much. "Damn." He whispered, trying to grab her energy and give it back. He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes deeply. He accepted the power, finally, his hands moving from hers as he huffed. "Too much you just threw on me." He murmured, letting his horns disappear as his body relaxed. "That was the first lesson. Keep trying to keep control but let it out too. When you need it."

She did her best to push the power back into its cage and eventually managed to do so, luckily she was still weak from yesterday and she had given some power to the demon, otherwise things might not have ended so well. "Are you okay?" She asked worried and looked over at him. "I'm sorry I couldn't hold it in and considering that this club is packed you were the safest option..." She shook her head and the room spun slightly around her. "I don't think I can do that anytime soon again." She murmured and rested her head into her hands. She had used to much energy in too few days, her body wasn't happy about that.
