CHAPTER 6 A King's Proposition

  Travis's POV

  "You're really damn persistent aren't you?" I asked the woman, my eyes on her hand which gripped my arm to a halt "Grabbing your King, that's an offence you know,"

  I watched as she released her grip and took a step backwards "I'm sorry," she said immediately "I don't know what came over me, I'm just desperate for help,"

  "What's your name?" I asked, brushing down the arm of my leather jacket "Before I ask you for coffee, I should at least know that,"

  "Alyssa," she said, excitement in her voice "Alyssa Richardson,"

  "Well, Alyssa," I paused as I watched all manner of expressions in this girl's eyes. I found myself becoming slightly hypnotised by the shimmering green of her orbs "I'll give you the time it takes to drink a latte to convince me to help you,"

  "Wow!" Alyssa exclaimed as her eyes lit up "Are you serious?" She seemed to revert back to an excited child who had been told she was going for ice cream.
