lovesrogue36 who prompted: Eliot's so wild and unrefined and so utterly not her type but seeing him in action makes her long for a little extra something in her relationship with Nate
-
Eliot was the kind of man who could spend one night with a woman and not be questioned if he left before daybreak. He was all charm, muscle and beer and broken promises were just par for the course, really. He was so wild and unrefined and utterly not her type, but it amused her when he took the time to flirt with her.
Nate treated her like a princess, which she was never going to complain about because that was how she demanded to be treated. Every moment they spent alone together was for her, and Nate looked at her like there was nothing else in the world.
When she sees Eliot fight - after she got over the brutality and the risk, the horror of watching someone she cared about charging headlong into a situation he couldn't possibly know the outcome of in advance - she started to see that same focus, that same intensity in his eyes. Nothing in the world but his opponent.
And then came the wild abandon of Eliot unleashed, and she started to think maybe she was missing out on something here.
