Oh my, getting a bit defensive was he? The big, bad male was frightened of what horrors Lacuna may present? It’s a shame that he is uncertain of how correct his initial reaction is.

He speaks of things that matter very little to the witch although she deciphers the tone in which they were said, as if he had a little joke he was telling inside his own brain. How about we dissect it and see what was being said? His follow up response caused her conjure up another laugh, short and sweet. ”Oh, my darling, you have no idea..” She coos softly as she is still and continues to keep her predatory gaze upon him. She knows that he is taking her bait and she can’t deny that perhaps there’s even a bit more than just bloodlust tainting her navy eyes. She may just enjoy more than a dribble of cruor this evening.

A moment is paused between them as she watches his movement, eyes turning to watch the sinuous muscle coil and relax beneath his taut flesh. It is difficult to hide her hunger but she does not try too hard, he’s in too deep now and there’s no way that she is going to let him go so soon. ”It’s a shame that there are no gods because I’m pretty sure you would be right up there with them.” She turns the tables, feeding his ego more, and she will do so until she has got him exactly where she needs him to be. She takes a delicate step forward, eyes turning down and then up again beneath dark lashes, testing to see how close he will allow her to come for now. Another step and another as she sways closer toward him with practiced ease. There is no fear for retaliation nor promise of a good time. She is simply living in the moment and will do with him as she pleases once she has reached that point.

Lustrous pools of blue peer into his own pair as the gap is nearly closed, should he not have stepped away, and her tongue slides easily from between dangerous jaws to glide along her lips in one sweep.

For now, she is really enjoying the game.
