Dodger nodded at his introduction. "Chi has mentioned you." She should have known that this was Joey. Her heart skipped a beat when he told her Chi had to leave. She wanted to ask if Joey had hurt him, but didn't want to show that kind of weakness. Her Nimir Raj could take care of himself and their Pard. When the vampire apologized, she looked at him with wide eyes, and nodded her acceptance of his apology. The odd part was that she wasn't mad about it. Mostly, she was just searching for a release, which she had been hoping Chi would help her with. But he wasn't Chi and she could let him help her the way she wanted to be helped at the moment.
Dodger and her beast were both very sexual creatures, and it was rare that anything with them wasn't sexual. She swallowed hard as her leopard pulled against her, forcing her to walk a few steps closer to Joey. She wasn't able to stop herself, as she was suddenly touching him, her hands on his chest. She closed her eyes as the leopard brushed furred sides inside her, growling at the built up pressure it demanded a release from.
"I don't think...I can accept your help," she managed to whisper.
