Hold the Line! The Kaidan Butt Brigade

[…] Indignant observation: “Maybe you’re just lucky.” With disgust: This isn’t on Kate’s list - with lust: but he’s so arrogant. Observant description: His eyes flare momentarily in surprise.

Angry retort: “This one doesn’t subscribe to luck or chance, Miss Steele. The harder this one works the more luck this one seem to have. Plainly: It really is all about having the right people on this one’s team and directing their energies accordingly. This one thinks it was Harvey Firestone who said with higher than though quoting ‘the growth and development of people is the highest calling of leader ship.’”

Unimpressed and disgusted: “You sound like a control freak.” With panicked realization: The words are out of my mouth before I can stop them.

With a harsh and flat tone: “Oh, this one exercises control in all things, Miss Steele,” he says without a trace of humor in his smile. Lustfully: I look at him, and with obvious observation: he holds my gaze steadily, impassive. With fangirl anticipation: My heartbeat quickens, with dampening panties: and my face flushes again.

With unchecked lustful wonder: Why does he have such an unnerving effect on me? Barely contained want: His overwhelming good looks maybe? Skin tingling observation: The way his eyes blaze at me? Overwhelming need: The way he strokes his index finger against his lower lip? Heated lust: I wish he’d stop doing that.

With barely contained disgust: Do you feel you have immense power?” Observant thought: Control Freak. […]

With slight interest: “This one does not have a philosophy as such.” With thought: Maybe a guiding principle - with pointed arrogance: Carnegie’s: ‘A man who acquires the ability to take full possession of this one’s own mind may take possession of anything else to which this one is justly entitled.’ Harshly: This one is very singular, driven. This one likes control - of myself and those around this one.”

With another obvious observation: “So you want to possess things?” With shocked revelation: You are a control freak.

With calm irritation: “This one wants to deserve to possess them, but - with controlled confirmation: bottom line, this one does.”

Unnoticed repetitive observation that is annoying: “You sound like the ultimate consumer.”

With fake interest: “This one is.” Obvious observation: He smiles, but the smile doesn’t touch his eyes. Again, with curiosity: this is at odds with someone who want to feed the world, so with fangirl wonderment and lust: I can’t help thinking that we’re talking about something else, but I’m absolutely mystified as that what that is. With nervous electric anticipation: I swallow hard. Repressed lust: The temperature in the room is rising or maybe it’s just me. Desperation: I just want this interview to be over. […]
