He sighed deeply and slowly moved to hold her shoulders. He took her slowly and let her rest in his chest lightly. "It'll be okay. Just ate too much. Take a nap and I will too, rest. You're my all-nighter. I'll inform the desk, you'll be safe in this room." He nodded softly, slowly laying her down in the bed. He shifted up to walk out quietly, informing the desk to call off every meeting. He told them he was taking an all-nighter. Once they approved it, he walked on. He returned to her soon too, laying down beside her easily. He didn't really care if he didn't have more clients, they broke him. He hated it so all was well.

Bea nodded and leaned against him, she was too exhausted to protest and just let it happen, the warmth radiating of off him was nice though. "Thank you for helping me out with all of this," she whispered as she closed her eyes. "It's nice to have somebody around..."
She shifted a bit until she was comfortable and fell asleep before he had even returned. When he layed down back beside her she turned around and wrapped her arms around him thinking that he was a pillow.

"Don't forget what I...am." He sighed, watching her hug to him like a child. He hadn't had anyone do that in a long time. Not human. Not monster. He tensed at first but let her do as she pleased, his hands wrapping back around her securely. He pulled the clean blankets around the miss and rested his eyes. For now at least. His hand gently rubbing her back for extra comfort on her part. She needed it, who knows how long she had been alone due to her abilities.

She slept soundly for a few hours, her skin glowing faintly some times, but her powers stayed dormant, harmless. She held onto him tightly as a memory from long ago came up again, her sister lying limp on the ground, red light and her being the cause of it all. She whimpered as her power tried to punish her in her sleep. She had been so stupid to think that she could have taken control. "Please... Just stop... I don't want to hurt anyone." She murmured against his chest.

He hugged her tighter easily, slowly rubbing her cheek. His lips pressing against her forehead as he tried to comfort her deadly dreams. He was barely asleep, having trouble sleeping with someone else around. He slowly closed his eyes tighter and yawned, finally resting with her after making sure she was safe and warm once more. "Shhh, you won't..." He murmured, finally sleeping with his arms relaxing around her.

The little witch rested her head against his chest and calmed down slightly as she felt the comfort of his arms around her. She loosened her grip on him, but didn't let go, she needed the touch. As the night continued, she slept soundly with a dreamless sleep and her powers dormant. It had been a while since she had been so close to somebody, she was just glad that she didn't have to hold back anymore.

He woke up later, not needing much sleep since he wasn't necessarily alive. He laid his head back and noticed the music in the club had died out. He wasn't sleeping here tonight, Hell no. He slowly sat up and moved to the dresser in the room. He pulled out a jacket and slowly shifted it on. Then took off the seductive choker. He zipped up his jacket and glanced back to her silently. He frowned at his thoughts and rolled his eyes. He moved towards her and gently slapped her cheek to get her awake. "Bea, Get the hell up or I'll leave you for my clients." He warned.

She wasn't one to wake up easily. Especially not if she was being waked like that. She slowly opened her eyes only to find him looming over her, it took her a bit, but once she progressed what he was saying, she immediately scrambled to her feet. She didn't want that to happen... Only half awake she grabbed her bag from the corner of the room and swung it over her shoulder. She didn't know where his switch of mood had come from, but she guessed she had overstayed her welcome. "Thanks for helping me out earlier, if you ever need anything you know where I live, so just come by." She said as she kept her gaze on the floor and slowly opened the door of the room, she still hoped that he would walk with her outside, because she wasn't sure how to get out of the club in the dark.
