perhaps it's cruel of her to toy with robert in such a manner... though, she feels so bloody torn with her affections towards him, something similar to shame and mild disgust because it feels almost unbecoming... to desire such companionship with him in a sentimental sense. and she isn't one who yearns for such a thing, especially after the one and only time she had where it ended poorly with him scarring her body and him nonexistent.
she cannot deny, however, that the thrilling feeling blossom from her chest and from the center of her hips when robert says her name. it almost made her nestle her teeth into the flesh between where his shoulder and neck meet, mark him as hers. but she has enough self-control to not allow that to happen. or, that's what she tells herself...
" do you need some help taking care of your problem or you'll be alright without me? " she's really digging that proverbial blade into his side, isn't she?
Who would've thought Robert would find himself in a situation quite like this? Worked up by a woman that he was meant to butt heads with. But she'd slithered under his skin, nestled her way inside his desires and plagued him with a need he wasn't going to be getting. Not today, at least. Or perhaps... Perhaps all this really was a game and she didn't have interest whatsoever. It's a little sadistic to think, but something about her leads to the thought that this really was all a gag to be played. How silly of him... Hadn't he learned from how fantastic his marriage worked out?
A beast shouldn't crave and need so desperately, yet here he was... If he had let this go past just the physical desire, he was surely screwed. He was too old a dog to be thinking of things like puppy love. Fuck, love is too strong a word... It's merely the desire to be seen by someone like minded. Someone that may actually be able to handle him. Professional, Robert.
"I'm a big boy. You can go ahead and chase your ghosts down the hall." He responds with a tap against his ear, reminding her of the feigned voices calling her name.
