Emerson was going to need to have a good talking to when this was all over. And whatever god he might believe in pray that it was just a talking to. As much as he was not liking his assistant's sass tonight he felt his feelings flip the other way as Parrish decided to play nice and step into the...
He was trying to play nice but she was really pushing him. Worse yet she was pushing the Beast. The prideful, violent hedonist that lived in the back of his mind since the first night he woke up without a pulse. The monster in the man. Normally it was easy to keep in check but letting her get...
"Oh and what a majestic high horse it is you ride around on! Yes, I'm sure that it'll please the invisible man in the sky when your ticket is punched."
Not all the dead were godless. The Lancea had their churches and bibles and the Crones had their rituals and pagan gods. The rest of the...
William frowned ever so slightly as she told him that she rejected everything he stood for. Not that he was offended, that was very much how he saw things. That was the problem. For someone who had at the very least peaked into the world of darkness that lay beneath the surface of the 'normal'...
Her outburst, this time, wasn't unexpected. He let it get it out of her system, neither pulling away from it nor smiling as he just looked her dead in the eye and waited for her to finish. This was why he hated dealing with people with a will. The power to dominate had spoiled him. Literally any...
She was understandably cautious of him after the stunt he'd just pulled, looking almost ready to run if only that hadn't looked like something she'd do out of fear. She found her own shoes and began to put them on, stubbornly refusing help with him having half a mind to let her go on that walk...
He had half a mind to gloat right up until she suddenly got his knife off him. Quite a shock it was to see how fast she was and an extra surprise that she hadn't got for the kill. Not that it would have done much to him. Perhaps she already knew that. Even if she didn't know the facts from the...
He was more than pleased with how things were going now. He'd half feared that whatever powers let her shrug off his influence before might also defend her against the feeling that came with the Kiss. It was actually for the best. If any victim had the capacity to struggle doing so would only...
Despite all her sass and passive aggressive reluctant he didn't miss the tension she built up when she closed her eyes. She was expecting the worse. He couldn't entirely blame her, she didn't know what was coming and given that she'd been kidnapped and taken out to God knows where it seemed too...
"Ah... let me apologize for giving the illusion of choice to begin with," he said, his words giving up the pretense of politeness even if his tone didn't change.
"Your cooperation is appreciate, not required but I'm being honest when I say you might very well enjoy it. Of course we've already...
He could tell that he had her after Gale had been brought up. Or maybe there really was some other family she was hiding. That would certainly be something to look into. A little insurance never hurt. Regardless she wasn't ready to drag anyone down with her. As long as she kept that in mind she...
Even as she was trying to make it clear that she still wasn't happy with this and that she was going to try and force her terms into this agreement he knew he had her hook, line and sinker. This was the terrible flaw known as human sympathy. Give any one person too much emotional value and you...
It was a brave sentiment to be throwing in his face for not being in control of the situation but it didn't take a genius to notice the emphasis she put on her brother and family. It didn't take a genius to put two and two together. She cared more than she was willing to admit. That was a crack...
The polite, smiling facade of a man trying to be host fell apart as a mix of surprise and anger replaced it instead. Not just annoyance, rage. He didn't do more than glower at her smart ass response and grit his teeth but the look in his eye gave away something deeper. A maddened look like an...
"I'm more than willing to offer you the assistance to keep your shop up and running. What kind of person would I be to deprive you of that after all?"
When she tried to play off why she learned his name he just chuckled at her, amused at her almost childish threats to get the cops involved...
