The way she dropped her feet onto his lap was familiar, comfortable, and it grounded Bruce in a very welcome way. Without even thinking, his hand fell on her calf, fingers kneading absently as he let out a quiet huff of a laugh, shaking his head.
"I don't mean all physical contact is excluded." he assured her, nodding to where his hand sat on her leg. "The key issue is sex. Beyond control of my emotions, there are physical triggers inherent in the transformation process. My heart rate has to stay below a certain count, or else I'll turn no matter what. Physiological and psychological triggers go hand in hand with regards to my condition...but research may provide an answer. Now that I'm working at the lab, I hope to do some checking."
Not for a cure. He was well beyond that...only for a means. For this, for her...whether in science, psychology, or plain old self-discipline, there had to be a way for him to be with a woman. If not Kenzi, then someone, if not someone...then Kenzi.
His feelings for her, whatever they might be, weren't all he'd had his eyes opened to: Bruce was finally starting to realize that he had lost a lot to his condition.
Now that he had a taste, he wanted, more than anything, a chance to live again.
