phocbe:
by manic instinct, phoebe clasps a hand over mason’s mouth and casts a wary glance at the barely-subtle bodyguards shadowing her. ‘ not that what you said isn’t true, but don’t let talk like that get around to my father or else the label contacts disappear. ’ mr. harvey knew of his daughter’s exploits, but the enablers had usually been faceless to him—- she kept it that way, for their own sake. she retracts her hand and allows it to fall over his chest, ‘ i was teasing, mason. besides, if you are turning down a bump right now, then maybe you have gone soft on me. ’
he’s not sure whether it’s the palm smacking over his mouth or the bite of her words that draws a flinch from hunched shoulders, wide hues walking the trail that her own eyes had blazed. the moment her hand droops, he’s sucking a lesser lip between his teeth. “surely daddy’s hearing isn’t so keen that he would have heard that. b’sides, aren’t you going to go to bat for me when we inevitably get caught?” mason’s careful to move away from her, a thin smile curling his lips. “only if i get to snort it off of something other than a table. ”
