The taunt silence stretched long and thing, as if mocking her.
Caspian sat, cross-legged in regal velvet night robe, sipping his tea like nothing happened.
She was foolish enough to show eagerness instead of suspicion first at his offer and now Thay he knew she was desperate, he was sure to exploit it.
Well, no shit. She WAS desperate!
She'd get on her knees and suck his dick Right now if it meant not having to marry Baron Desguss!
A full minute passed with nothing but his annoying sipping before she broke the silence by clearing her throat;
"Nice....garden, you have here."
Caspian did not respond immediately.
He watched her first.
As if the act of bringing her here, the act of removing her from her world,had not yet satisfied whatever calculation was running behind his eyes.
Aria grabbed the porcelain amd poured the tea instead.
The sweet smell of something with a hint of jasmine wafted up.
