This is a long overdue update to the story. IRL has been rough with work and personal things, so I have had very little time to actually write. I got all my notes and ideas in place over time though, so once I had a moment, it was straight gas as I furiously typed out the chapter. I really hope you all enjoy this chapter, as it gives you a look at things from Rose's perspective. Enjoy!

Danny awoke to a very snuggly bundle of fur adjusting herself, Rose having wrapped herself around him in the chair. There was a blanket over the both of them now, and he figured Rose had grabbed it after he had fallen asleep. It was dark out, and a quick glance over at his clock over the fireplace told him it would be daylight in a few hours.
Their romp had taken more out of him than he had expected, and 2 days in a row of hardcore sex seemed to be quite tiring for the both of them given the cute little snore he was hearing from Rose. He adjusted himself a bit, and she adjusted in kind, and he didn't realize he had fallen back asleep until he opened his eyes and saw sunlight creeping across the wall.
He yawned deeply, feeling incredibly well rested, and then very gently shook Rose by the shoulder.
"Wake up sleepyhead. Sun's up."
There was a groan of displeasure and she buried her face into his side, trying to keep the light off her face. Danny chuckled a bit, and then began to lightly blow on her ear. It flicked several times, and with an annoyed groan, Rose pulled herself free from his side and sat up. Her hair looked even wilder, and he figured that she could probably use a good trim. It might even make her look cuter.
"Ladies first for the bathroom today" he said with a smile.
Rose blinked a few times, yawning and stretching as she began to fully wake up. She carefully got out of the chair, and very slowly made her way to the bathroom, her feet thumping loudly the whole way. He heard the sink running as she shut the door, so he guessed she was still a little shy around him, despite the fact that they had been intimate twice now.
Danny slowly climbed out of the chair, having slept at a very unusual angle than normal, and made his way to the kitchen. He put some water on to boil like he had the previous morning, and before long he heard the water turn off and the door open. He glanced over and saw Rose poke her head around the corner much like before, and he wondered if it was because of her mysterious condition.
"Would you like tea with honey again?" he asked her.
She stood there silently for a moment before giving a curt nod. He chuckled slightly at her unusual demeanor and went back to prepping their mugs. He heard her come out and start to make her way closer, but she stopped before she reached him.
"Um..." she started to say quietly.
Danny turned and looked at her, and she had her hands clasped in front of herself and was rubbing one hoof against her calf, all while looking down at the floor. Danny was confused again, thinking they had gotten through the sex talks already, but wondered if this might be something else. He was about to ask her what was wrong when she snapped her arms to her side and looked straight down at the floor.
"I'm sorry about being so forceful again! It's just that you had such a strong smell and it was too much for me, and it made my brain go straight into sex mode without any regard for you and how you might've actually been feeling right then. I know not all men like forceful women with a high sex drive and I'm sorry!"
She almost sounded on the verge of tears again, and Danny was slightly confused on how to respond.
"Well, Rose...we talked about it, and you set some rules, and I don't think either of us broke one. It's okay to be a little forceful, so long as your partner is okay with it too, and I was, though I was a little unprepared for how fast you started."
She looked back up at him, clearly fighting back a few small tears, sniffled and nodded sharply.
"Thank you for understanding!" she said, looking straight back down again.
Danny just shook his head and chuckled again, then took the water off and started to pour it over the tea bags. He was concentrating, and Rose was walking carefully, so he didn't notice that she had come to right up behind him until he felt a loose strand of hair tickle his arm. His heart jumped for a brief moment, but it quickly calmed down.
"So ummm... I think we need to find a way to fight my...urges..." she said quietly.
At this, Danny actually stopped and gave it some serious thought. How exactly would they do that? It was a smell trigger, and not one he would be able to actively control at times, and it didn't take much it seemed given how things had gone the night prior. He thought about it as he went back to making the tea, and the only thing he could think of was an old adage about taking a cold shower.
