Jax finally took pity on the younger man. He moved behind the lady and massaged her shoulders. She purred louder and leaned back against him. He nuzzled her neck, meeting the agonized eyes of the Kuguar who was still trying to removed her from his lap. The Hase slipped his paws around to her chest, rubbing, soothing her. She gave a gasp and turned into his arms. Jax lifted her off the Kuguar and carried her into the adjoining bedroom.<br/><br/>The Kuguar adjusted his clothing, avoiding Taryn's eyes. She really didn't pay attention to his eyes, because she was studiously avoiding him altogether. At some little yips from the bedroom, their eyes did meet, lock and then skitter away. Before either of them could say a word, Jax came back, fastening his belt.<br/><br/>"Don't ask. Someone had to make a sacrifice and I figured I would be the one. Now, come in here," Jax said, nonchalantly heading for the kitchen. Taryn followed him but the Kuguar hesitated. "I said, come in here, or can you still not walk?" The Hase chuckled at his own wit.
