Intimidation
Tess smiles and her eyes glimmer playfully.
Tess is always up for a challenge.
This man comes to this bar regularly, and he intrigues her. Suddenly, as she crosses her arms, she realizes how much she likes redheads.
She's clever, but not many know that. Most of her fellow rebels are unaware of her abilities. Yes, the woman is extremely cunning. When she was a little girl, she was taught to be deceptive and she is very experienced in hiding under an innocent countenance. It took many years of work to master the skills that the blonde knows. Of course, Tess tries not to think about her past much.
Her eyes are twinkling mischievously when they should've darkened. This man is a wild card. He's a killer.
Torn knows. And of course, Tess knows many things about Torn. He is a very reticent man, but even his macho shell can crack. He can be as gentle as he is harsh. The man is constantly plagued, with his past tattooed with the horrors of the Baron's rule and the slaughtering that took place. Still, who would really know when they met Torn's eyes? The man's mask is like that of a stone. He appears solid throughout.
She knows the man with his bright suit, with a seemingly lazy and careless gaze, is as skilled as she in her particular area of abilities.
Her boss is a maze, but their destinies are, were entwined. They relied on each other. Tess had been Torn's most valuable spy for a long time. Now, Ashelin is definitely the center of Torn's attention, but all phases pass.
Maybe, just maybe, she can crack him too.
Tess is very skilled at sliding into the background without looking suspicious.
The well-built man's savage eyes linger on her for a second. His piercing eyes are savage and unruly, but Tess is always up for a game.
She knows she can make a difference too.
He pretends to move his interests elsewhere, but with the teasing way she crosses her arms on the counter and the way her breasts are squeezing together, she knows he is containing his raw lust. The commander knows several acts to use to draw her in and make her want him too.
Really, who is ever going to expect a giggling, scantily-clad blonde to be up to something large and devious?
Not many who come here are as handsome as the commander, but looks shouldn't distract her. Erol is probably one of the few men that can sense her acting. He is on a stool to the far left, while she is at the right. Her heart pounds rapidly as he leans forward with a sly, catlike ease.
Then, without warning, the man is sitting erect in his seat. There is a message ringing in his ears that only he can hear. Several emotions are roaring in his eyes. Fury. Excitement. Astoundment. But of course, a new mask overcomes Erol. An intimidating, assertive figure leaves the building, and Tess realizes how short that episode of curiosity really was. The blonde then decides to try to clean the area before Krew wakes up and comes to the front. Then, she'll report to Torn as usual. Somehow, she knows she might be feeling flustered near him for awhile now.
Still, she can't keep that evil man's face out of her mind. Oh well.
Tess is always up for second chances.
