His body brushed hers, very nearly hot with what she was certain must be desire -- the hunt was brief, the kill swift. He hadn't expended so much energy as to make him blazingly warm to the touch, as if fire-sparked from the inside. Her remaining eye half-lidded at his touch and she smiled a crooked sort of grin, her yellowed teeth running out as she drew her lips up and curled them. Did he mean the heart, or himself? She didn't need to question this notion much, for the answer was obvious.
She bent her head forward to take the heart from his hands with her mouth, her hands dangling forgotten at her sides before she brought them up to him, her fingers brushing the flecks of flesh from his fur and drawing along the gold-black of his arms. Her touch ran against raised scar tissue and other knotted imperfections in the flesh, cuts and scratches and gouges drawn through the man's flesh by others and himself both. Her teeth met muscled red flesh and she swallowed it whole, her tongue lapping gently at the lingering remnants of red streaked there.
The old woman was alight with fire that had been extinguished in her before, goaded and drawn to arousal in this defiance of the praxis of typical mother-son relations. She was not certain if it was the defiance of those norms that added that delicious edge, that something that she had missed for far longer than Ahren had been dead.
