Out of Dodge!

Ahh the title.. that was easier to swallow than the fact that she cared about him. Really… such a weakness to entangle herself with anyone and especially anyone who was not SR. He could betray her… like he had his title… but such was life and perhaps this was a risk she was willing to take… for the moment anyway.
It wasn’t so strange.. the lines were clearly drawn in the sand. Carlisle could have any woman he wanted or he could have her… but he could not have both at the same time. She did not share… but she would not have held it against him if he couldn’t have dealt with that. In all fairness… she didn’t expect him to share either.
His finger slipped under her chin and lifted to guide her face until his lips could brush against hers, but if he thought to steal the kiss she stole one right back leaning in and nibbling before breaking away and half grinning at him, “Perhaps not..” she told him of regret.
