Jael smirked, "That should be enough time. You may leave, Mill." He ordered.

"Yes, Sire." Raising her head, she glanced at Mauve before turning away, she left the room with the servant at her heel.

Jael smirked, "I am sure you can take a guess." He turned his gaze away from the door to look at her.

Mauve blushed and turned away from him, "No, I can't," she whispered.

Jael pushed himself to a sitting position, and leaning closer he said, "It's the least you can do considering you've been enabling every interruption."
