I get them all worked up and down on their knees, you see
It’s hard to miss the way his cheeks darken with a soft flush that’s close to reaching the tips of his ears now and Maeve refrains from teasing him further even if she took a sense of delight in doing so. It had always been fun to mess with Harper while he’d been working here. She and the other girls did so often and after all this time it still hadn’t lost its appeal.
His words bolster her and she smiles back, jade eyes meeting his gaze as she lifts her chin a touch higher. The Madame didn’t lack confidence, but she never saw herself in such a major role before. Her world has just grown exponentially and it’s an adjustment that she’s yet to completely wrap her head around. ”Since when did you get so smart?” Maeve teases, taking his words to heart despite her jest, bringing her cup up to her lips to slowly sip at her tea.
”I do. I don’t think anyone has seen me the way she does. It’s humbling and gratifying all at the same time.” She sighs, a faint flush rising to her own cheeks as she recalls their last meeting, how proud the goddess had seemed. The kiss she left them both with. The instructions and suggestions for what to do next. ”She’s proud of your work, Harper. She told me as much when she appointed me.” Maeve informs him with a smile, reaching forward to take his free hand, giving his fingers an affectionate squeeze. ”So proud in fact that she suggested you to be on our council. Would that be of interest to you?”

They take my fingers in their mouths like it's poetry
