Marmalade 2024 // The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

she wanted him to think about her tattooed nooks and crannies...

Marmalade, smirking: My boobs.

“Well,” Marmalade reaches out their hand in offering. “It’s nice to finally meet you, Otis.” Otis’ mouth is dry as he takes their hand and he blames it on the cigarette. Marmalade shakes coyly, simply flapping out his hand and allowing Otis to wrap his own around it. They shake very briefly before letting go but Otis still feels the warmth in his palm afterwards. “It’s-”Otis pauses, “It’s nice to meet you too.” ---- Agent Otis Huxley is a man who's always been married to his job but Marmalade takes him over like a whirlwind. From the chase to the calm that follows after and then all the drama that unfolds around them. They always manage to keep Otis on his toes and he can't bring himself to hate it no matter the complications that it causes him.

Otis, lovingly stroking her hair: You're pretty fucking annoying, that's what you are.

Otis: Yes. And in the first movie too, before she could do chin-ups.
