”Course it will.” Nate promised easily, intentionally not thinking about the sensations that came along with the bite, with his professional procedure.

He’d not going to put it at risk, he’s not that stupid.

There was a flutter in his chest and in his gut at Sams next question, like excitement and panic all at once. In one innocent question, Nate felt everything between them become all too real, the easy distance he maintained from actually saying anything gone. ”I... I do.” He answered, surprising himself. ”Do you?”

So let's face it this was never what you wanted
But I know it's fun to pretend

Now blank stares and empty threats
Are all I have, they're all I have
