Tony's tension surprised Claire. Rarely did a man withdraw from her attention, but Claire was not discouraged. Her mind turned with ideas as to why. Why boast about his strength then reject her attention? She sang with desire, for power and for him. For things she didn't posess. A look mirrored Tony's darkness. Was he to deny her both his company and his secrets? The company, well fuck it. But the secrets. The secrets she would not leave without.
The details of his requirements ripped shock from her skin like a snug bandaid. Payment?! She chocked back laughter and sat backward, one leg tucked beneath her.
The next few minutes were filled with so much, Claire could hardly pick her way through the treasures. The Five was only the beginning. She had a barrier, apparently that constrained the ability to expand to full potential. Danger. Circles. And pain.
Her eyes narrowed, suspicious of what Tony suggested. She had the right to be. She was the novice and he the master. Despite his claim that he could not teach her further, a hot streak of rebellion burned deep.
"I know danger."
She crossed her arms, a coy smile threatening to break the seriousness of her gaze. "Give me your best shot, Antony."
