Well,
that got tense!

Pushy vamps.

But, oh, how I love Mick -- and Josef -- to the rescue.

There's no doubt that Mick was ready to defend Beth by any means necessary, but thankfully, Josef smoothed things over before it came to that with his "house favorites."
Beth forgets sometimes how very different the rules are in this new world of Mick's that she's entered. Along with the excitement and allure, there are dangers she's never even imagined. Maybe, they both needed a bit of a scare to open up the lines of communication.

Not to mention, getting the
right kind of sparks flying.
Wonderful story,
MLC!
