PHOEBE
Phoebe sighed dramatically and shook her head. "Such a realist. Frey would be both proud and bored." she teased.
"Hmmm." she hummed in response, heels of her hands pressing against the desktop to help her balance. He was making his own calculations. She and Jata made a dangerous pair after all, in all the worst ways. But she longed to feel wanted. And she knew he could make her feel that for a short time. He had always been a beautiful liar.
Her head tilted up to maintain eye contact with him as he approached, then leaned over her. Very proud indeed. "Proud, but can you be principled?" she said in a low hum. Phoebe lifted a hand and pressed one finger to his lips. "No one but the gods know." Another finger unfolded to press against his lips. "You stay distant from my son unless you decide to make me promises." Which she knew he wouldn't. So far all very practical ground rules. A third slender finger against his lips. "Make me feel like a goddess." The third and final purely selfish. She wasn't risking getting burned again for half-assed orgasms.

When the static clears
And all is said and done
I will realize that we all need someone
