No.. Not yet.. You can't admit weakness like this.. You have to stay strong despite how turned on you are. If she reads you as easy who knows what could happen...

You're a service top after all damnit! Sure, it's been a while since you've messed around with anyone, but you still have your pride on the line. You can't ruin your jeans at the beck of every mean crazy girl you meet! Keep it together!


You keep your hands up, having no problem with admitting defeat, your ears low, "Can I, uh, have that shrimp now?"

Eiko tilts her head at your response, eyes calculating, as if she wasn't expecting your submission so easily. She presses her weight on you again. As if to test you. Your mind becomes hyperaware of the musculature, the power of how easily she could break your rib in, and you use every ounce of willpower not to find it hotter than it is.

When you hold out, she eventually relents, with a snort. "Hmm... I like that. Sure."

Your head is dizzy as the tension seems to break. Bullet blissfully dodged?



She shifts her paw. It slides slowly down from your sternum to your stomach with a curious ease, the claws slightly raised so she doesn't catch the fabric of your top. The slowness of the touch has your fur raise as you shiver. Eiko maintains eye contact as she does this.

"You know, I realize I kind of overreacted there. I know you're just doing what you're told."

You chuckle roughly, "I get it. You've been on edge since I got here." You don't tell her how you kind of wish she did more.

She pauses her movement, just at the edge of your abdomen, as you feel yourself start to sweat. The weight of her paw presses in, your breath caught, before she fully pulls back, her leg shifting back into that furless humanoid form. Maybe you're going to sink into the ground and die.

"Yeah, I was expecting you to attack me after I closed the door.. But I can see now I was wrong. You're a good dog, aren't you?"


NOT YET!! NOT YET!!!!

You almost cough, "I don't know what you mean." You take a moment to sniff the air and realize that Eiko's scent has softened to you, her friendliness now at 55%.

"There's just some things I can't tell you.. Not because I don't want to, but because it'll complicate things.." she gestures as the manic glee sparks in her eyes again. "You know, I wasn't supposed to come back."

Her words align again with what Kenji told you, though you at first dismissed it as his high ramblings. It's one thing for Eiko to have stolen something, and another for her to be retaliating.. Normally, in a situation like this, you wouldn't take any sides.

Though you don't have long to dwell on it as Eiko grabs a shrimp and moves to grasp your chin with her free hand, catching you by surprise. Is she touchier with you now that she's friendlier? Or are you hoping for something that isn't there?


As much as you hope she is, you don't want to ask that... In case she says yes.. Even though she laughed about the wboyfriend thing.



"Open up."

You obey. You're finding it harder and harder not to...

Eiko feeds you the shrimp and smiles when you eat it.

It tastes like sweet liquid gold as she seems to muse aloud, "I think I've been going about this all wrong.. I know that you're in this for the money. But what else would buy you?"
