As soon as they rounded the corner Vera grabbed Jaii’s wrist, leading the way further down a hallway. Eventually she turned to him, looking at the man like it was [i]him[/i] who had driven her there and was causing all the trouble. “Look, why don’t you drop the heroic act. You’re the alpha’s son, right? I know how your family works and I don’t need anything else to make this situation more complicated!” Vera hissed, looking him up and down. It was just attraction…very strong, desperate attraction. Yeah.

It angered her, frustrated the woman that she could want something so urgently, but maybe this would make it go away. It had to go away…

You, I don’t know…I’m supposed to mate with…” Please say something, Talon…
