Xaven would grin when he made Nessie blush, Lesley laughing about it too. [b]"yes it will"[/b] Xaven said, moving forward to kiss her. [b]"that chocolate syrup you brought to bed last night helped to"[/b] wiggling his brows suggestively. [b]"i always wanted a sundae in bed"[/b] before he groaned and moved into the hall. Drake and Ralph stared each other down, before both of them turned to Tammy. [b]"beta? thats not what this is"[/b] Drake said. Ralph turned to Tammy. [b]"i.. "[/b] he nodded but she wasnt letting him get in a word to explain, and when she mentioned her last relationship and how she was treated he growled, wanting to kill her ex. [b]"your not weak"[/b] he said, but she was out of his arms and moving out back. Xaven stood there, staring at the Deputy. [b]"im not doing anything but answering his questions darling"[/b] hearing that sweet disarming voice Nessie had as she spoke to the guy, who then commented. [b]"i'd sooner trouble myself then the ladies here"[/b] Xaven said, stepping toward Nessie, wrapping his arms around her possessively. [b]"she is more then safe here with her family"[/b] once back inside the house, Drake and Ralph pulled from the window. [b]"not checking him out, geez"[/b] Drake said. [b]"just scoping, didnt know we had a new deputy, and one thats coming to ask questions"[/b] Xaven sighed. [b]"we stick to the property when we run, we only leave it when we must, and no animal take downs, i have a feeling thats not the last time we'll run into the Deputy"[/b] they both nodded, and they all went into the kitchen to eat, except Ralph who walked out back. [b]"i wasnt claiming you were weak or anything like that, it wasnt a beta thing it was more of a 'my woman, dont touch' type thing, not that i believe you and Drake would ever, he's only got googly eyes for Les, like i got for you.. im sorry, but i know your not weak, in any sense of the word"[/b]
