"You! What are you doing here?" I screamed, covering myself.
"I came for you," He said that as if it made complete sense.
"I don't want to see you. Go away," Instead of going away as I had wished he would, he walked into the river, slowly trudging towards my showering self.
"I said go away!" I shouted, turning away from him as if that would help but he didn't heed my words.
"I know you did," He replied, a small smirk on that handsome face that I had grown to both love and hate.
"Then why aren't you going away?" I asked, now beginning to take slow steps back as he got closer.
"Because I came to see you and I'm not going anywhere until I see you," Was that supposed to be flattery? Why don't I feel flattered then?
"If I say so myself, I think you've seen too much of me," I mumbled and he seemed pleased by my words which only frustrated me further.
"Too much of you is never enough for me. The more you show, the more I want," Now I felt flattered.
I turned around to look at him but it was too late, feeling a strong grip on my bare waist, I was heaved into the air as he carried me in his arms, pushing us both back against a rock as I gulped back a surprised scream.
"What do you want?" I finally asked the question he'd been patiently waiting to hear and he didn't waste another second to answer, grey eyes glinting with underlying mischief.
"I want you,"

"Is she aware that her father's an assassin?" I asked, squatting down in front of the cell to get a better look at the man who looked like a mess, blood spilling all over him, a few of his teeth were missing and a broken nose. 


"Do you care for your daughter?" I asked the man and distantly heard him mutter out a rugged "No!" I pursed my lips to hold back the smirk. 


"What!?" Tobias screeched and I turned to glare at him. He looked into my eyes and caught onto my act, gesturing towards a guard and whispered something into his ear. 


"Wh-What?" The man gasped as I turned to look at him with a narrowed gaze.
