If it was a matter of just impatience, he wouldn't have taken the time to mark her torso like he had or to leave her so totally vulnerable. So why...?
Even as the thought occurs to her, she remembers that stomach churning jolt of dread that'd passed through her only minutes ago, the way he'd all but flinched from her touch when she'd reached up. The sloughed off remains of an insect's chrysalis.
Maybe she's not the only one of being looked at with revulsion.
So when she looks - and come on, of course she's going to look - her expression doesn't change. Soft and flushed, impatient and warm - and when her gaze flits back up to his face, she lays back properly and lifts her hands in a transparent invitation to come closer. ]
When you say it like that, it really does sound like you're planning on eating me. [ Again, that playful lilt to her voice. ] Maybe you're just a glutton.
