Snippet #2324393

Surprised that the boy who had been silent until then spoke, Max tied his final knot, then going over each one again, making sure they were tight enough. Taylor and him had tried this multiple other times, and though each had been successful, he was always scared there might be a problem. But there won't be, he thought, breathing heavily, then glancing at Aarti.

"Where'd you guys meet?" He asked, cooing Scout once again as he licked his neck. This would be an interesting night.

Taylor was also surprised when Alex, who had more or less been pouting in the corner, came over and asked how she needed help, after speaking to Aarti with an aggressive, yet flat voice. "Hold the tarp while I tie it." She said, not asking with a please or thank you, but instead keeping on task. Even not knowing him. she was pretty sure that's how Alex was. A no nonsense kind of guy. But then again, she didn't know him. At all.

Taylor began tying, her hands flying accross the rope as she finished, going back over them again. She looked at Max, and as he looked back at her, he began to speak again. "It's probably going to get really cold tonight." he said, for no particular reason.
