Re: Derek/Nell
"I'm not sure how anything related to that can be adorable." He looked at her, expression changing, turning wicked. "Besides, I know how you look naked." He tapped her chin and then the back of his hand brushed against her nipple as he moved back. With others, it could be an accident, but Derek was very careful not to touch people unless he meant to. "Sexy isn't half naked and with tight clothes. Sexy is spunk and attitude. You got those, even in pigtails and overalls."
Derek wasn't going to argue about what people did and did not know about food. He knew people here were spoiled and it wasn't their fault. "My policy is not to interfere between the two. If I did, Brian would be dead already. Best if I keep out of it."
He snorted. "I feel ancient, Nell, but okay, you're on." He nodded. "That I remember, and those claws are a good weapon, too, not that I plan to let go of my gun." He grinned. "You got it, although Troy might be jealous. He likes being the Dark Phoenix."
