Vex let out a choked sound, not sure how to really respond to Summer’s words. They weren’t close, barely knew each other, and who in their right bloody mind would trust somebody in that regard when they’d only just met? Snickering slightly, he purred the words, “Never woulda expected to ‘ear that from a pretty thing like you.”
His sheer shock made her laugh. “Empath, remember?” she murmured in respond. “I already know exactly how far I can trust you.” She put her hands on her hips. “What does my appearance have to do with what I might like, Vex? Hmmm?”
The Mesmer gave a nod at her reminder, having let the bit of information slip his mind until just then. “A ‘andy trick, ain’t it?” he commented, fighting the urge to show off his own abilities – at least for now. Cocking his head to the side, he replied to her words in a silky purr, “I s’ppose ya’ve gotta point there, Lovie, but do ya really know what’cha’re gettin’ yourself into ‘ere?” He waited for her reply in a darkly patient way, thoughts already creating plans depending on her response.
Summer stepped right into his body, until bare millimeters separated them. “Sugar is sweet, but spice is more exciting.” She veiled her eyes. “I’m not sure you can handle me, actually. I might be too much for you — you think I’m so very innocent. Don’t you want to find out?”
