Are You Decent?

There's a knock on the door followed by her voice. "Are you decent?"

"Not morally, but I'm wearing pants, if that's what you're asking." I call out as I finish doing my belt.

The door pushes open and she walks inside. Her eyes go straight to my chest before quickly flicking away. A smirk spreads on my lips as pink starts to tint her cheeks. Wonder if her face would be tomato red if I wasn't wearing any pants?

"You come in for a reason?" I take my time grabbing a shirt from my bag.

"Y-Yeah, we're uh. We're leaving in a minute. Jax sent me up to tell you." Her voice shakes slightly and her eyes constantly move around the room. She was trying to look anywhere but me.

I decide to put her out of her misery and decide on a shirt, pulling it on in one swift motion. When I look up I find her already looking at me. Her eyes quickly flick away and I can't help but chuckle. The sound draws her attention back to me.

"What?" She demands.

I shake my head, grabbing my bag off the bed, and walking out of the room. "Oh nothing." I hear her footsteps as she hurries after me.

We make our way downstairs in silence. Jax and Revel stand waiting for us at the bottom of the stairs.

"It's about time." Revel huffs. She uncrosses her arms and stomps out the door.

"Ever the patient one." I give Jax a smile before walking past him and out the same door Revel disappeared behind.

A chill wind runs past me and I dig my jacket out of my bag. Didn't need to get frostbite. The door opens and closes behind me, Jax and her stepping outside.

"So where exactly are we going?" She asks.

I turn to face her, noticing how she shivers even in her fur coat.

I give her my best grin, flashing my teeth. "To kill the king obviously."

I love the way her mouth drops open and eyes widen in shock. So innocent. I'd love to ruin her. Maybe later.

"Told you I wasn't decent."
