Re: Jacob and Marlene
"Then trust me," she said. "You know who I am, who my family was. You know what we stood for, better than any of the people around us." Her McKinnon upbringing and power was showing, but it was important enough that she was willing to put all of her masks aside for a moment. "We don't betray allies, and we don't let people suffer. This isn't a trick, Jacob. It's a chance for you to become a friend, but you fuck it up, and I will hurt you. I love my friends and I'd do anything for them. It's up to you if you become one of those friends or an enemy."
She smiled at him, changing in front of his eyes. So many years of undercover work made it all too easy to change persona with the blink of the eye and sexy kitten always helps easy any tension.
Marlene rested her cheek against his, while she kept moving, not pulling away from his hands. "Good, because I love men who know how to appreciate what's being offered."
