Sneaking Out Past Curfew

Venom would have asked Maverick to stay in Ashen with her if she wasn’t so frightened of rejection. Trying to contain a man like this within her borders? She wasn’t so confident in what she had to offer being worth more than his freedom. The way he looked at her made her want to believe it, like he would fill her need if only she would ask. For now just feeling excitement for their next day together would be enough, as he confirmed. He would be back to take her on a date.

The Empress leaned into his touch, he wrapped his arm around her and nuzzled softly against her fur. "Maverick..” She spoke softly into his fur, she didn’t want to release her hold. "You don’t have to g..” Both of them jumped out of their own fur as Plague rounded the corner and spoke up, obviously interrupting. Venom tried not to look like she had just been caught at something. She lifted her head and straightened so she wasn’t quite leaning against Maverick as her brother questioned them curiously. There was no malice to Plague, only curiosity. Why wouldn’t he be? There weren’t very many who had seen the Empress in such a compromising position.

Before she could answer Maverick spoke, a brief mention that he was just leaving. While it was true Venom almost protested again, but he gave her a smile and bid her a good night. "You too,” She told him softly as he left without hesitating, leaving Venom with a very nosey Plague. She raised a brow and teased her brother before he could get started on her. "Wouldn’t you like to know.” She giggled softly as she paced closer to Plague and sat beside him.

"Venom"
