Yet again, more proof that capitalism was never about "freedom" or "small government".

“Big Pharma” okay are we talking about how privatization and monetization has deeply corrupted the field of medicine or are you talking about how you think chemicals in the water are making the frogs gay

excerpt below the cut :)

“Oh,” was all he could manage when she turned around to face him. His mind had gone blank with a pleasant hum at the sight of the fabric hugging her curves. Her dress was a vibrant pink that complimented the color she’d applied to her lips and cheeks. All of the bridesmaids were wearing pink dresses for the festivities that evening, as requested by Sarah. His eyes kept going to her legs, appreciating the way the short hemline was flirting with her thighs. 

Kiara grimaced. “That is one of the most unsatisfactory reactions you could give to a woman when she does an outfit reveal.”

“Is that what you were doing?” he asked, screwing up an eye in contemplation. “Didn’t realize you were putting on a show for me.” The idea that she would want him to give a satisfactory reaction to what she wore had his stomach coiling, gratified.

Her cheeks flushed a deeper shade of pink beneath her makeup and his smile widened. 

“What would have been more satisfactory, huh?” Rafe took a small step closer to her, keeping his eyes on hers. “Maybe something like, damn - nice dress.” 

Kie scoffed a little laugh. She was watching him half-warily, half-amused as he took another step towards her. His next step brought him far enough in her space that she mirrored him in reverse, taking a step away. 

“Or what would your boy Alan say?” Rafe continued. “Probably something fucking terrible, right? Like, has anyone ever told you you have beautiful tits?” He let his gaze drop to her cleavage at the word tits – he told himself it was for the bit. 

Another laugh escaped her, but it sounded a little strained this time. She swallowed heavily – he watched the movement beneath the delicate skin of her throat. 

He wondered if she still applied her perfume right on that same spot. 

One more step and he was close enough to lean down and find out for himself, but he didn’t, keeping himself upright. Her head was tilted back to maintain their eye contact. She tried to step backwards again, but was stopped short by the wall at her back. 

He watched as her pupils dilated when she pressed into the wall behind her. He propped a forearm against the wall, effectively trapping her.

“Or I could tell you that you shouldn’t be allowed out looking like that. Like a walking distraction,” he said in a low voice, leaning closer. “Isn’t that your whole thing – that we aren’t supposed to touch each other because we could get distracted from our mission?” 

Kiara just stared silently up at him, blinking those big, brown eyes. Looking at him with the exact same expression she had last night when he’d kissed her. 

“Yet you’re out here looking like a dream, asking me to zip you into this dress like you don’t know exactly what’s going through my head when I do. You know what you look like in this thing, right, princess?”

She jerked her head in a nod and Rafe mimicked her, nodding along with her. 

“Good. Just making sure you know the kind of damage you’re doing.”

He stepped back from her abruptly. “Was that a more satisfying reaction?” he asked.
