Ouroboros Spine kuli ⧫

Hold on. Hold on a fuckin second. Was she actually serious? Like, for real serious?

Zane watched her (a little stupidly) as she spoke, scarcely believing it. This had to be a setup because there was no way a chick like this existed and even less than 0 chance she existed here. In this pack, run by Duchess, queen of all things proper. This had to be a joke.

But she didn't sound like she was joking. And as much as Zane refused to believe it, what she said resonated well enough with him that he was stunned into absolute silence and left looking at her, mouth slightly agape, as she asked him what he wanted. Well fuck.

Bro, was this love?

Not a chance, but he was thrown off enough (and infatuated enough by how ideally cool she was) that he questioned it. Mateship was something he'd always avoided because he knew there was no way he could ever settle for a life chained to one thing. It had never even remotely crossed his mind that he could redefine the concept and Lane was blowing his mind a little. She was either a fucking genius or batshit crazy. Either way he was deeply into it.

Well shit. He finally managed, shaking the dumb look off but still staring at her. Didn't figure I was looking for anything. Guess I was just thinkin' too small. By the time he'd finished, he'd settled on accepting that she was just a mad fucking genius, and the look on his face was pure impressed.
