Ouroboros Spine kuli ⧫

He was still surprised, but as the shock wore off, he was smart enough to know she wanted some kind of answer. He'd come here dead set against the idea of a wife but, funny enough, now that resolve was wearing. What she was talkin hardly sounded like marriage. He didn't know what the fuck to make of it.

This last comment of hers was a little worrying. He didn't tie himself down because when push came to shove he'd be gone. And where did that leave her? This sounded fun for a while but he didn't expect this pack gig to last forever. Give it a year and he'd probably be off to better things. On the other paw, who said he couldn't fuckin enjoy himself while he was here? And passing this up seemed stupid as hell.

They didn't make em like this often, obviously.

If it doesn't, say the word and I'm gone, Zane said, confirming with a roguish, toothy smile. I don't do shit that ain't worth it, but this seems like it would be worth tryin. He might not be able to give her whatever kind of 'connection' she wanted but no harm no foul if that was the case. He could disappear for her sake just as well as he could for his own.

She was gorgeous, young and obviously lonely. He'd never been above taking advantage of that before, though this was the first time he'd really promised long term and meant it. Because it came without the promise he wouldn't wander. I think, though, we may want to keep the details between you and me. he added, taking a step closer. If they were going to do this they should probably get acquainted. He wasn't necessarily intending to jump her right now with Duchess waiting nearby, but he was about to test her boundaries and see what a little grooming did for her... if she let him.
