"Oh tiny Maus is that all you have to say?" Leni rang out, her eyes taking in every inch of Beca.
"I... uh... just am surprised is all." She immediately scolded herself for the stutter. "We weren't supposed to meet until Friday."
"Is this a disappointment?" She asked taking a few steps forward to close the distance between them. The scent of strawberries entering her nose.
"Oh, no. Just busy is all." Beca lied, she knew this situation was going no where good fast.
"Oh my dear maus. I do apologize." She reached out stroking Beca's hair aside. "I don't mean to cause any distractions."
She let her hand trail down as her fingers ever so gently grazed her neck. The slight touch causing Beca to tense as she suppressed the moan trying to escape. Looking up she met the pure gray eyes staring down at her, the desire boring straight into her soul. Leni's eyes didn't buffer as she leaned in closely, her lips tickling Beca's heavily pierced ear.
"I missed my tiny maus. You have a way of finding your way into my head." Beca tried hard to focus on her words instead of the warmth of her breath against her neck sending goosebumps in its wake. "Especially at night."
God, this woman is going to drive me crazy.
As if hearing her thoughts the Kommisar's lips turned up into a grin against her ear.
"Oh dear Beca..."
"Chloe..." she whispered. The name coming out before she could stop it causing Leni to immediately withdraw, bewilderment plastered across her face.
"The ginger girl from your school days?" She chuckled out, the harshness nipping at her skin. "Oh how cute that one was. But you are in the big leagues now maus . We must act like it with who choose to be by our side." She flicked her hair to the side before continuing. "Do you think it'd be good to be seen with her? People like them can't handle what we do. The fame, cameras, and community is too much for those folk."
"But..." she tried to speak.
"But nothing. She'd just grow to hate you because she would hate the life. Why do you think she left the first time? She couldn't handle you."
Beca felt the words hit home. She was right. Chloe was such a small life girl who wanted to teach at her college and enjoy the simple life. And at the end of the day Beca has nothing but cameras flashing her way. Nothing about her life was simple. Chloe would just leave her again anyway.
