Nothing But A Ghost

"Hold it there!" Jace ordered when Marianna shamelessly began to undo the strings of her loosely tied robe.

However, she didn't stop even with the threat emanating from Jace's voice. 

Jace was able to mask his shock as he stared at Marianna in disdain. Was this really happening? He was beginning to see an interesting twist in the whole game.

Flinging aside her robe as if she hadn't heard Jace, Marianna approached stealthily with a look that would have conquered any man. 

Jace's eyes turned to ice as Marianna's robe fell to the floor, her transparent gown clinging to her like a desperate plea for attention. She moved closer, her hips swaying deliberately, but Jace's hand shot up, palm out, stopping her in her tracks.

"Don't. Take one more step, Marianna, and you'll regret it," he said.
