Lexie

Lexie has always been there for you and you know you can trust her with anything, so speaking with her in regards to something as important as a decision like this is a no-brainer. Plus if the two of you are alone in your chambers it would allow you to actually tell her what exactly is going on if you want.

You make your way down the mountain and towards your chambers, passing the Sicilian Spirits in the process and seeing your two good friends Sylvius and Felix already starting their nightly drinking ritual. With a smirk as you pass by you just bee-line towards your chambers. At the moment your mind isn't in the mood to drink the night away as you have more important things to figure out.

Pushing open your chamber doors you are greeted by a lovely sight. Lexie is sitting on your bed cross legged, her hair not braided up just looking completely casual with no pants on and one of your shirts. She's reading a some type of scroll and just enjoying the quiet night. "Hey!" she looks up from the pages and gives you a smile. "Armored up, eh? Special occasion?"

"Hey yourself." you return her smile "And yeah, you could say that." you move over towards the foot of the bed.

"Something on your mind?" Lexie must be able to tell you have something to talk to her about. At the same time she sets the book down on the bed and gives you her full attention "What's going on, Darien?"

"Sooo, this can't leave this room okay?" you give her an authoritative look "Okay?"

"Yeah yeah, sure thing Mr. Serious." she jests.

"Lexie. No." the look in your eyes telling her you're not playing games.

"Oh okay, Darien?"

You sit down at the foot of the bed as Lexie crawls your direction. It's actually quite distracting as her juicy legs are completely bare and your shirt she's wearing doesn't do much to cover any of it up. You saw her wearing just some tiny panties on underneath which is starting to make your body feel a little turned on. As she moves next to you and rests her head on your shoulder she waits for you to begin.

"Ya know that Bandit leader, Shade or whatever?" you begin "So, I just met with him."

Lexie immediately raises her head from your shoulder and backs away from your body a few inches "Excuse me?" her face looks shocked.

"He's here in the Syndicate and you can't tell anybody I told you that. It could put you in danger, so please, just let me finish and then we never speak of this again, okay?" Lexie's shocked expression only nods back that she understands.

Then you tell her everything, the entire way he found you, the entire meeting, his proposition, the two options, the favor you would have to do, absolutely everything.

"And I don't know what to do..." You stare longingly off into the ground "On one hand, my bounty goes back live and there's a chance I never know who shot me or they may even try to kill me again. The other deal, I can take matters into my own hands, my bounty is dropped but I owe a favor." your head drops down into the palms of your hands as you just ponder "I have no clue what to do..."

"You can't take that deal." she immediately says aloud causing you to turn your head to look at her "No way at all."

"Then the bounty goes live again and I'm always watching my back and being hunted every day and night. My life would always be at risk and it would also jeopardize not just my own, but yours and all my friends."

"Yeah but, owing a favor, which could be anything, to a man you don't know. Especially a man that is basically the leader of Loner's Reach, a man who deals in drug trades, human trafficking, assassinations and prostitution. Is that the type of person you really want to owe a favor too?" at this point she now has both her arms wrapped around your side, her legs are draped over your own and she's showcasing a ton of thigh which you can only playfully trail a finger around as she talks "We'll just keep an eye out, keep you safe, watch your back, it'll be okay." she smiles.

"Yeah..." you mumble out as you pull Lexie's body tighter in your own "I think you're right..."

She brings her hands up to your face and pulls you into her own, her lips part as the two of you share a much needed kiss with one another. She doesn't bring her tongue into action just yet as she gives you a few pecks and then opens her eyes "I'm scared, Darien..." she eventually let's out.

You cradle your love tight as you whisper sweet thoughts into her ear "No need to worry about me. I'll be okay. I'm just trying to figure out the best course of action going forward." you lean forward, kissing the top of her head "No matter what, I'm not leaving you again, okay?!" you say with promise.

She smiles back and then lunges into your body again, holding you tight for many long moments.

It's at that point you could just go to bed and wake up tomorrow or you could go talk with some of your other friends...
