Notes/Warning: For the "temptation" challenge at sylelle_100. Lyrics by Tom Waits.


Bourbon on ice and Tom Waits on vinyl, two things I didn't expect when Gray ushered me into the apartment, and they're both going to my head. Tilt back, bare the white column of my throat. Sing sweet and languid; playing drunk, vulnerable. Bait. Prey. That was the briefing, but I've got a new tickle.

my will has disappeared
now my confusion's oh so clear

When I ask “can I keep him”, Daddy always says no. No incentive to keep asking, is it? This one though, feels like if I asked him. . . would he say yes?

Temptation . . .

I can't resist
