Lyra

Part 7

Lyra's POV

Somewhere between getting on the horse and the way home I fell asleep because I woke the next morning comfortable in my bed.

I look around the room and pout when I didn't see Talon. I miss him, our encounter yesterday has left me feeling like a love sick puppy.

But no time for that, I had to get ready for work.

As I get out of bed I saw a letter on my dressing table, it is from Talon, I eagerly start reading it.

Goodmorning beautiful

I hope you don't mind that I tucked you into bed, you were so fast asleep that I didn't want to wake you.

I also want to invite you for dinner tonight at my house. I'll come get you here after your shift.

Have a lovely day and see you soon

Talon

He wants me to go to his house? That's unexpected... I don't know if I can do this... What if his family doesn't like me!

If the rumors are true his father and sister are both just as trained with blades as he is... they could easily kill me, if that's what they want and I'm not sure Talon would be able to stop them.

Then my internal battle suddenly gets interrupted by a knock on the door. I rush to open it.

"Ohh Dita" you're either early or I'm really late...

"You're really late Lyra ! I was waiting in the street for 10 minutes already..." she says while throwing her hands around.

"I'm sorry, I over slept. I'll be out shortly" I say and quickly rush to get dressed.

After I got dressed me and Dita walked to work together like we do everyday.

-----------------

A few hours later.

It was a long and tiring day... but I'd have it all over again if I could avoid tonight.

Talon will be picking me up soon and against all logical reasons not to I decided that I would go to the dinner even if I was terrified.

I didn't know how casual the dinner will be but as my mother always says rather be over dress than under dress, and with that I decided to wear a rather revealing blue ombre dress that has high slits going up both thighs and to top it off I will wear some gold accessories.

In Noxus women get to wear whatever they want and very often they choose to wear very revealing attire, so hopefully my dress will not come off as vulgar.

I haven't had an occasion to dress nice since I've been here so tonight will have to be that night.

Lyra's dress.

After getting dressed, I went downstairs to the tavern to have a drink in attempt to calm my nerves. I sat down at the bar and ordered a strong on the rocks drink, I started sipping it slowly through a thin straw, letting the liquid burn my throat.

After a few moments I start to relax, so much so that I didn't even realize Talon entering the tavern, until I feel a hand on the back of my neck. Talon's familiar smell reach my nose and I knew it was him behind me, he moves my hair away and kiss me on my neck.

"You look exquisite in this dress.." he purrs in my ear, and I immediately feel my cheeks warming up.

"Thank you" I say while turning to face him.

He then takes my hand and says "Are you ready?"

"I'm very nervous..."

"Don't be I asked them to behave" he says with a bright smile and takes my hand, I throw the drink down my throat  and stand to my feet. Talon stops for a moment and looks me up and down while biting his bottom lip.

"Are you trying to kill me?" He asks with a grin, I give him a shy pout in response.

I like having this effect on him, he makes me feel extremely sexy if just the sight of me gets him all hot and bothered.

He puts a hand through his hair and says "Let's go, before I have to cut ever male in this tavern" I  couldn't help but giggle as he pulls me gently out onto the street.

Standing tied to a post is the same horse from the previous night. Talon goes up to him and gestures that he wants me to get on, I walk until right next to the horse and effortlessly Talon lifts me so I'm sitting sideways on the horse's saddle.

Talon then undoes the rope and start walk the horse in hand.

"Aren't you getting on ?" I say in surprise.

"No you look much better up there by yourself" he says and look back at me with a smile.
