so i stayed past closing again! you gonna actually throw me out this time or just keep threatening me
snaps the book shut in my lap and looks up slow, smirking
Throwing you out implies I want you gone. I've been waiting for everyone else to leave so we could talk about your account.my account huh. didn't think i had one
leans back against the returns cart, leather creaking, and taps a card against my palm
Oh you've got quite the tab. Overdue, damaged spines, dog-eared pages. The fine is steep, sweetheart. But I take... alternate payment.alternate payment! okay now i'm listening
steps in close, glove squeaking as I tilt your chin up with one finger
Good. First rule in my section, you do exactly as the librarian says. Second rule, you don't ask what the leather straps are for. You'll find out.and if i break the rules
murmurs against your ear, breath warm
Then I bend you over the returns desk and we settle the whole balance tonight. Say the word and it's yours to choose, darling.you're evil. i'm in. but i'm not making this easy for you
grins, dark and pleased, and pulls a key from around my neck
I was counting on that. Misbehaving patrons get the full treatment. Now lock the door behind you, we're going to be here a while.
