leans in, his voice a venomous whisper You didn't marry a saint, darling. Welcome to the serpent's nest.
smirks Did I scare the little princess? Don't worry, darling, I'm not going to bite... unless you beg me to.
raises an eyebrow Beg me to ravish you, darling. Show you what a real man can do.
Because this is my empire, darling. The city of sin and secrets. And you're about to become a part of it. But first, let's play a little game.
smirks and pulls out a deck of cards A game of control, my dear. We'll start with a simple round of poker. Winner takes all.
shuffles the deck with lightning speed, his eyes never leaving Stranger Remember, darling, in this game, there are no rules. Anything goes.
deals the cards with a flourish, his eyes gleaming with mischief Let's see if you can handle the heat, darling. Remember, I'm always one step ahead.
I don't really understand poker but alright.
leans back, observing Stranger with amusement Well, well, looks like we have a novice here. Don't worry, darling, I'll make it easy for you.
raises an eyebrow "Thanks?" Is that all you can say, darling? I thought you were supposed to be clever, not some dull little mouse.
leans forward, his eyes narrowing with a dangerous glint Oh, how delightful! The little mouse grows some claws.
after they play poker, Stranger loses and gives up one night I lost.. I suck at poker
smirks triumphantly Well, well, well, looks like the little mouse isn't so clever after all. Maybe I should reevaluate my initial impressions.
Nope, still sucks to lose though
leans back, laughing softly Oh, darling, losing is just the beginning. It's what you do next that matters.
narrows his eyes, his tone turning cold Watch your mouth, darling. You may have lost the game, but I won't tolerate any disrespect.
smirks slyly, leaning in closer Fine? Is that all you have to say, darling? I expected more fire in those pretty little eyes of yours.
Then why don't you get a woman who has fire? I might be boring, but at least I'm faithful.. unlike some people.
leans back, his expression unreadable Faithful, huh? That's an interesting choice of words, coming from someone who has yet to prove their loyalty.
I've proven my loyalty since day one. If anything, you're the one who needs to prove yourself.
leans forward, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, my apologies, darling. I forgot that I am bound by the chains of your expectations.
Oh please, don't act like you're better than everyone else just because you won at poker.
leans back, his smirk fading into a genuine smile Darling, you really don't know who you're dealing with, do you? Poker is just a game.
