He looked at her questioningly as she pulled away before he noticed the smell. ”Oh, damn!” he swore, quickly pulling his hand off the floor leaving a distinct burn mark in the shape of his palm.

She wasn't going to lie she was scared of him bad experience with fire she crossed her arms and looked at the ground

He placed his hand in the water in a hope to cool it off. Admittedly he was also worried. This would be the first new power he gained in a couple of centuries. ”I’m sorry. I didn't realize what I was doing.” he apologized, looking back up at her. ”Are you alright? I didn't hurt you, did I?” he asked noticing her upset posture.

"I'm gonna head inside" she said now noticing the stinging feeling on her neck where he touched her

He nodded. “I really am sorry. I don’t want to hurt you. I just need to figure out how to control this.” He explained, softly and a little embarrassed.

She ignored him walking inside she changed out of her clothes into pajamas she put her clothes on instead of his like she would always wear to bed and layed down on the bed with the covers a red mark on her neck from him

He signed in disappointment at himself as she left. Out of frustration, he dunked his head in the water. We haven't even been married for a full day yet and I manage to screw it up! Way to go, dumb ass! That has to be a record.

Betty closed her eyes then opened them tears falling from them

Lysander brought his head back up, out of the water. His hands had finally cooled down to normal. He panted a little and shook off some of the water before slowly walking inside to the main bathroom on the first floor to completely dry off.

Betty closed her eyes clenching her hands into fists under the blanket

Lysander grabbed a towel and dried his head and hands off, still frustrated with his new power and the lack of control he had over it now.

Betty sighed pulling the covers up to her neck

Lysander was tempted to throw the towel… just anywhere but held back. He groaned a little and hung it up to dry. Normally, he wasn't much of a drinker though the idea was tempting tonight. Then again the alcohol might react badly with his new ability.

Betty got up walking downstairs again she was in her clothes and not her usual sleep wear which was his close she gently walked past him carefully not touching him

Lysander didn't blame her when she avoided touching him. He had put his hands in his pockets to keep from accidentally burning her, though his hands were still back to normal. "Hi," he said gently, awkwardly to break the silence.

She nodded " hey…" She said

"Are you alright?" he asked.

" I guess" she said accidentally moving her hair showing the mark

He winced when he saw what he had done to her. "I'm so sorry, Betty. This just started happening before we left. I forgot about it when…" he sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "Maybe I should start wearing gloves or something until I figure this out."

She shook her head " just- just don't touch me" she said

"I won't." he agreed. "At least for a while. I like being able to hold you but I don't blame you for…" he sighed, glancing at his hand before tucking it back in his pocket.

" no lysander I mean ever" she said

He blinked in surprise at her statement. "What… Why? I'll gain control of this sooner or later. It'll be alright. I'll never hurt you with this… again." he promised a little ashamed that he had even hurt her once with this.

" I can't" she said

"Can't what?" he asked a little fearfully.
