It would be hard for a glitzy jewel like Spectra to fade in the background, but because something was hard did not make it impossible.
While Hood's focus intensified, like some Colombian geisha, she shifted from being the object on display into the complementing accessory for those wielding greater power than she (metaphorically, at least). But in this case, as she slid a graceful arm into Hood's, it was not he who was amplified. All of Hood's intensity and focus, the quiet danger he radiated, only served to enhance the exotic warmth and tempting allure, strong enough as if she'd locked onto Yuri in his dreams, puckered her lips and beckoned him closer with a sole curve of one long finger.
She pressed ever so slightly against his side, familiar but not overly presumptive. His warmth was welcomed, but there was no long, lingering stare that left her drooling over this particular man. He was the apparent victor that she was going to show off to Yuri and Silas. Apparent because they had yet to walk away, and she cast Yuri a nearly sorrowful look that he might possibly give up so easy. Too bad it read. This was going to be the boys' brief brush with the magnificent.
