Alice was surprised that this man was so willing to take her in, and a flicker of doubt crossed her eyes. Did he have ulterior motives? No...she couldn't assume every man was like Louis. That was just ridiculous, and Louis was dead...she had to keep reminding herself of that. Still, any time she smelled a male Lycan, she tensed...and even human males made her wary. She was being silly, and she needed to stop.<br/><br/>As he tensed, she wanted to reach forward and comfort him, but he quickly wrote something down and then recovered. Smiling softly, she watched as his hand soothed her scarred skin, and the touch sent jolts through her body. When his lips touched her skin, she shuddered slightly and a flush rose to her cheeks. She hadn't ever been...touched so sweetly before, and she wasn't sure how to react. However, she laughed slightly at his calling her a 'young' woman.<br/><br/>"I'm hardly young, but thank you."<br/><br/>As he went on, she smiled and left her hand in his, relishing the touch of another person.<br/><br/>"I would be honored to be in your care. Thank you, Vincent."<br/><br/>She leaned forward and kissed his cheek, loving that she had the freedom to do that.
