@OfGuileAndGuilt - her to the kitchen. She smelled food but didn’t see anything besides big metal appliances.
Zuri crept closer to the fridge and cocked her head and the humming noise it made.
“Never been this close to one of these before. Do they really keep food fresh forever?”
@OfGuileAndGuilt “More than I ever imagined...”
Siri’s voice trailed off as she approached the doorway with caution, making calculated steps past the large male and through the threshold. She sniffed at the air, hoping to get a read on if she and Aiden were truly alone.
Her nose then guided -
@OfGuileAndGuilt “Very true,” she panted. “Maybe the opposite would have been better for me. I don’t think lions run wild here as often as naked women might. But then I would have lost you for sure.”

@BloodyDapper "Peaceful? Like death?"
She had her own fangs but never used them in such a way. She disdained her morbid curiosity. She had head of people like him but have never met one until now.
@OfGuileAndGuilt - sheer size of him in comparison to herself wasn't helping her insecurities whatsoever. It merely put them on display, and she realized she was having a hard time hiding it.
@OfGuileAndGuilt - form, taking up a defensive posture as she letbout a fanged hiss.
