[ hawk definitively tells on himself in that moment, even if it weren't for the lingering ache of their long-ago fuck, or the more recent memory of deft fingers around his cock, because morgan, despite her many, many flaws, is arguably one of the most attractive women he knows — emerald-cut eyes, silky black hair hanging down to her waist, a wardrobe that would make vogue look shabby. she's ash in one light, and embry in another, and irresistible most of all until she opens her goddamn mouth and starts talking about bombing children.
embry takes a drag of the cigarette, bracing himself with lungs full of smoke. there's something about being back home that makes him feel equal parts vulnerable and safe. even if vivienne moore might never be proud of him or understand his predilections, at least he knows she'd never abandon him because it would look awful in the press. ]
Mr. Fuller. [ he smiles, his nose pink, the cigarette lingering near his lips. ] Are you coming out to me by saying you don't want to fuck my sister? More importantly, what are your thoughts on spanking? There's always time to misbehave, and you can draft up the backstory on the jet.
[ hawk is still a mystery to him, irritating at times but reliable, and it strikes embry in that moment that there's nothing steady in his life but him, not since he lost ash as his one solid pillar, the sun, the stars, and the whole goddamn sky gone in one fell swoop. it's more pathetic than it is inspiring, but he's grateful all the same that he isn't alone so he doesn't have to contemplate crawling into the lake anymore. ]
