There it was again, the gentleness, and now, when she was finding herself again, with him lying beside her, she thought again about what she'd said, but it was still true, she still liked it, not because she liked playing that role more than any other, but because it was Sam. Because she knew what he would eventually do, and she wanted to be by his side when everything changed, Ruby wanted her place, wanted power, and yes wanted Sam, So this, letting him get possessive like this, letting him have that power now, it would secure her place.
Besides, she didn't mind it, lying there like this, after that. He could be as possessive as he wanted.
"I'm not" she told him honestly "Not usually...not with anyone else so it...suprised me as much as you but it's okay isn't it" she asked turning toward him.
It was what he liked and she knew he'd never have expected something like that from her. All part of her game, all part of setting herself up for after this. It was just that, the fact that she liked it was just a bonus. Wasn't it?
