Forced Withdrawals [Nox's Building]

[Tatyana]

Hayden held her and it felt good. Being held felt good. The cravings were in the back of her head, but still she felt at peace and she hadn't felt that in a long time. He even offered more distraction time should she need it before going on a long explanation that he didn't do relationships. That didn't surprise her or phase her in the least.

"No problem. I don't want to be in a relationship and didn't expect you wanted one with me," she hadn't been sure how he felt about them, but he had simply offered a distraction. She didn't expect more than that. She was a little bit surprised that he was okay for this happening whenever. "So we're fuck buddies." she said with a laugh.

Tatyana wasn't sure what he meant by her opening up. Had it been about her sobbing into his shoulder or letting him touch her. She had no idea, but she hadn't told him about her pain. She wasn't there yet. "So how does that work - I just show up at your bar and say 'let's fuck'?" she laughed again. It felt good to laugh. "So is it weird that I like handcuffs and blindfolds. I didn't know that I liked that until just now...just every time that you held my arms down or kept me from doing something...I don't know...I just got excited. Is that weird?" She sat up and looked at him. "What do you like?"

[Sterling]

Sterling nodded. "I think so too, but I think Nox will handle it well, either way." Though like Marta she was certain it was a bad idea. "It's a bad idea. But I also think that Nox isn't in a good place either. Hayden's here for a reason, and I don't think he knows exactly why either."

[Hayden]

He grinned. "If that's what you wanna call it sure. I prefer friends with benefits." Hayden shook his head as he laughed. "Normally I'd say text or call first. Just showing up is a bad idea, I could be otherwise engaged." If she caught his drift.

The conversation switched to kinks. "It's not weird at all. If it were weird do you think every couple experiments with it at least once." He grinned at her. "You aren't the first who I've been with who likes that thrill" But he sighed. "I don't particularly have kink, at least not one that translates to one specific thing." He sat up a little and leaned on his side. "My kink is making the other person happy." It was a little bit more than that, had more to do with his unique abilities. The ones that him a great bartender and supposed therapist.
