Time seemed to pass idly by as Selina did nothing but stare at the thick, wooden doors that stood before her. Doors that had yet to creak open, making her wonder if Crowley was even behind them or if this was just some ploy to have her killed.

That seemed highly plausible, getting her to lower her guard and then bam! Stab her in the back when she wasn't looking — a classic move from any coward too afraid to take her head on.

After all, she was responsible for countless demon deaths so it was only natural they try and get their revenge. And it was because of those lingering thoughts that Selina took it upon herself to glance around, making sure there were no worthless demons actually sneaking up behind her, ready to make a name for themselves by taking her out.

Although, after what Guthrie said about Crowley issuing a hands off order on her, the glory of the kill probably wouldn't last as long as one might hope. Unless that had been part of it and this whole thing, Crowley's behaviour included, were all pieces of some grand scheme to take the strongest player off the board.

But that couldn't be it. No one , not even Crowley, was that good of an actor with how he treated her therefore he couldn't possibly be luring Selina here just to kill her. Hell, he hadn't even invited her here, at least, she didn't think he did. Not literally, anyway. She'd come of her own accord so there was no way that this was a double cross waiting to happen.

That's what she kept repeating to herself anyway, as she simply stood there, rocking back and forth on her heels and running low on patience. She thought about announcing herself, calling beyond the doors and letting Crowley know exactly who was knocking. But she didn't want to draw anymore attention to herself than she already had so instead she knocked again, this time loud enough that it resulted in some shuffling sounds to grow closer from inside the room and seconds later the door opened, almost being pulled off its hinges by a rather annoyed looking Crowley.

That look of annoyance didn't last long though, not when his softening eyes worked their way up the length of Selina's now blood-free body and came to land on her face, where the only word he could use to describe the look that sparkled in her eyes was anticipation. They were full of it, more than he'd ever seen and it only seemed to grow stronger with each second she spent staring at him, looking right past the surprise he couldn't help but feel and deep into his twisted soul, the one that longed for her in ways not even he could describe.

And little did he know, Selina felt the exact same way, which is why she didn't even wait for an invitation to cross the threshold of his room, in a desperate attempt to relieve some of the intense desire that raged so hot inside of her that she thought she'd been frame-broiled and might spontaneously combust at any second.

"You said I'd know where to find you." Selina said, her voice nothing but a breathless whisper as she raised her hands, pressing them firmly against Crowley's chest and feeling the rapid beat of his heart beneath it.

It was practically mimicking her own, making her one hundred percent certain that this was, in fact, not a ploy to kill her and that Crowley actually wanted her here, if his hands landing on her waist the second she got close enough to him wasn't enough to tell her that already.

"I didn't think you'd take it literally." Crowley exhaled, hooking his arm further around Selina's back, pulling her body as close to his own as humanly possible along with bringing her further into the room, allowing him to blindly reach behind her and slam the door shut.

"Aren't you glad I did?" Selina teased, hooking her teeth over her bottom lip and pulling it between them as her feet shuffled backwards on their own accord. Or rather, on Crowley's accord as she was perfectly happy for him to guide her wherever he wanted her.
