<div align="center"><strong>~* Mae Little aka "MeiMei"- soft whispers and pleading glances – The Gamble *~</strong></div><br/><br/><br/>Smiling coyly, Mae let her eyes flick over towards Dani for a moment to assure herself that the good doctor was busy pretending to ignore what was going on between her patients. It was sweet of her not to rush in and breakup the banter, though Mae suspected she had simply given up trying to keep the two apart. Still, it must have been hard to keep from doctoring Vincent, but she wasn't about to waste the opportunity handed to her. Instead, the love struck pilot attempted and failed to hold back a giggle that slowly turned into a low sexual growl that rippled from her lips as once more her eyes returned to the handsome and slightly battered and bruised figure that was Vincent Kincaid.<br/><br/><br/><strong>"Oh, this. It was suggested that the only thing harder than my head was the hull of the ship. I attempted to prove the contrary, but clearly overestimated the thickness of my skull. Rest assured, it is nothing but a flesh wound and it would take a whole hell of a lot worse to keep me from filling your every desire and being on top... of my game. And that, my love, is a promise you can hold me to whenever and wherever you want."</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/>A soft sensual smile tugged at the corners of her lips as Mae felt her body tremble at his promise. Her mind savoured the sensation that tickled her intimately  as her emerald green eyes drank him in, etching every detail into her mind's eye as the tip of her pink tongue peeked out to sweep across her lips leaving them shimmering against the overhead lighting.  A gentle moan escaped her tight throat, a direct response from the wicked images that danced in her mind, each one stoking the flames of her desire to become intimately connected with the man before her.<br/><br/><br/>"Holding you is just the beginning.  I plan to thoroughly explore every inch of you..." leaning closer, Mae lowered her voice to ensure her next words would be for Vincent's ears alone “…..with my tongue, and that's just to start.”  Licking her suddenly dry lips Mae paused momentarily before adding "in the mean time I'll have to satisfy myself by pampering you with affection. I'll nurse you back to health with a million kisses.”<br/><br/><br/>Nibbling on her bottom lip, Mae once again let her eyes wander along the landscape of Vincent's body, taking in the powerful muscles that hinted of their presence underneath his clothing, planning a path her lips would soon travel from point A to point B. The desire Mae held for him was quickly growing into a raging inferno, however once her eyes took in the wounded hand it was quickly doused to a low simmer as worry took over lust.<br/><br/><br/>A soft sigh pressed through her lips as her green eyes filled with concern connected with his. "Could you try to stop hurting yourself?  Just accept the fact that you're a hardheaded, stubborn jackass.” Enjoying teasing him and showing it with a smile that grew wider as a giggle bubbled along her throat, Mae added “… besides, you can't help it. You're a man.”<br/><br/><br/>The sound of knocking at the door had Mae covering her mouth with one hand as a tiny snort sounded and accompanied the roll of her expressive eyes upon hearing the voice call out from behind the closed door. Mae's expression clearly told Vincent that Si had just unknowingly proved her point when it came to men and jackasses.  Not waiting for Dani, Mae took it upon herself to respond. "It's safe. I've still got my clothes on and I haven't ripped Vinnie's from him....not yet anyway, but the night is still young.”<br/>
