"Present"
And all of you could guess what happened after that.
That beast.
Aisha sighs frustratedly as her body ache all over.
"Hmm, need some help showering?" The door to the bathroom opens as Lucian stepped inside wearing a dark grey shirt, which sleeves are folded up to his elbow and the first few buttons are undone, and a pair of black slacks. His hair is damp and he had that stupid bright smile on his face.
He looks harmless and cool in that moment but Aisha knew better than to be fooled by his appearance. He seems like a lamb but he is actually a wolf inside.
Speaking of the insatiable devil, Aisha gravely thought before sending a menacing glare in his direction. "No, thank you." Then she pick up the quilt and cover her naked body. "Leave now before my eyes darken with the urge to murder you."
"So harsh," Lucian laughs at her before turning his back on her seductive body which seems to bring his inner beast within him. "Then take your time showering. No rush. You have all the time you need." Then he closed the door and went downstairs.
Aisha hurrumphed and quickly took a quick shower.
In the living room.
"Boss is so cruel," Noel grumbled. "After spending the cold night in that motel, he makes us wait here for 2 hours straight." He complained.
Skyler, which is reviewing some documents in his iPad, send him a quick look before going back to what he's doing. "Boss just wake up now. You and Reid also makes us wait for your lazy àsses."
Noel has no comeback for that. "But it's past 9 in the morning already." He always known Lucian as a morning person. For him to be up this late is quite...
"Where's that dàmn guy?" Suddenly a cold voice that belongs to a woman was heard from behind them.
Although the voice is a bit familiar and at the same time unfamiliar, Noel thought it must be Adrianna because she is the only one who called Reid a "bastard". "Oh, Reid? Well, he is in Country N becau---" as he was speaking he turns to face the voice and was scared shïtless when he saw the infamous cold violet eyes of the woman.
Violet eyes...
Aisha De La Torre!
Noel obviously paled, his mouth was quivering, his eyes wide as he swallowed his pits numerous of times.
Heck, he even felt pissing on his own pants right that moment!
"I-uh... I mean..." he stutters.
No cràp Sherlock! How did he forget that Lucian was with Aisha!?
He felt like all his blood has been drained as he stared in fear at the Death Goddess who almost ended his life that one time he fought with her.
Skyler, who was watching Noel, secretly rolled his eyes at him, then he stood up to give Aisha a bow and said in a polite tone, "Forgive this fool beside me. Boss is in his phone right now, talking to one of his subordinates."
Aisha hums in response. She went to the single seater and was about to sit when a sharp pain shot through her hips.
"Hmm?" Noel lifted his brows in confusion when Aisha suddenly froze, her knees bend as one hand was placed in her hips. "Is there some---!" His words was stuck in his throat as he visibly shudders in fear when Aisha's face darkens, her eyes turned colder and sharper.
Then Aisha laughs. Her laugh isn't full of mirth but it was menacingly cold. Both Noel and Skyler felt chills running through their spines.
"That bàstard!" Aisha cursed, her fists are both clenched as a wicked smirk formed in her mouth, her face are dark and will make one think that she was planning a massive massacre.
Hearing this, Noel immediately turned towards Skyler, his eyes wide as a Tarsier as they conversed through their minds. Is she planning to kill our Boss?
Maybe...? Skyler pursed his lips, his gaze went back to Aisha and he noticed something at the back of Aisha's neck.
It was a hickey.
And lots of it.
Seeing that Skyler was engross at something, Noel also followed his line of sight and was about to utter a curse when he saw the love bites on Aisha's neck but, thankfully, he manage to stop himself in time.
Aisha was swearing a white tank top over some cropped leather jacket, a black shorts and a lower tighs length black boots. Her saya hangs around her hips together with her gun, and a strap of daggers was also placed around each of her tighs.
But what caught their attention is when Aisha lowered her arms to massaged her hips, her leather jacket loosens around her shoulder, making some parts of her neck visible for everyone to see.
Noel gulped as he quickly turned to Skyler. His hands are trembling as he point his neck. There is a hickey! A hickey on her neck! Does that mean they did the deed!?
Skyler could feel a blush was crepting up to his face but he quickly compose himself and blank his expression before avoiding Noel's gaze and set his eyes on the documents he was previously reading.
"You---!?" Noel shake Skyler's shoulder vigorously.
What!? Skyler angrily asked him through his head.
Noel widen his eyes at him. What do you mean by "what"!? They do the deed! It means that Boss isn't gay! He likes women! He is not GAY!
Correction; Boss likes Aisha. Skyler rolled his eyes at him.
Noel was about to refute more when they heard a loud "slash".
They both froze, then slowly, they turned towards Aisha. They saw her feeling her katana. She had a knowing look on her face as her fingertips feel the sharp edge of her katana.
"My katana has been dull these days. It looks like I need to..." She didn't finish her words, however, to both Noel and Skyler, it only sounds like it has underlying meaning to it.
They felt chills in their body, their backs immediately straighten as they sweat in their suit. Even the indifferent Skyler is feeling a bit scared of Aisha.
Meanwhile, Aisha frowned. Her katana feels as sharp as ever but this doesn't feel as sharp as Lucian's mighty rod.
Why so?
If only those two will know what's going on with Aisha's mind, they will puke litters of blood.
Boss! Please come quickly and save your beloved subordinates in the hands of this Queen! Noel howled in his heart.
Thankfully, it seems that his prayer were heard as the door opens again.
They heard the sound and turn their attention towards it. They were about to say something when they notice the heavy atmosphere around Lucian and the grave expression in his face.
Aisha turned serious as she placed her katana back in its saya. "What's wrong?"
"We need to act fast. That bàstard's troops are escaping."
