Chapter 5
The rope around Roxton´s hands was so tightly knotted, it almost cut into his wrists. But in spite of the hopeless situation they were in, his brain worked on escaping. His thoughts were interrupted by a figure coming closer. It was a woman wearing a long light green dress which showed every curve of her body, with a matching scarf over her head and face. Although no one else paid her any attention, she didn't escape from the questioning eyes of the hunter. He knew her. The way she walked, the way she held her head, and the rest of it he could imagine from his memory. She came closer, and held a cup of water to his mouth.
"Marguerite! What the hell are you doing here?"
"I'm also pleased to see you Lord Roxton"-Marguerite calmly replied.
"Go away! It's too serious! I still have no plan. Why an Earth did you to come here?"- he was full of agony.
"Of course I have only selfish reasons again. I have no intention to go bathing with Malone as an escort, because I'm afraid Veronica would kill me. And if I must wait for Challenger to get away from his "specimens" I'm sure I will never get clean."
"Am I wrong or do you really want to have a bath With ME?"- grinned the hunter
"For your safety, it's not advisable to think something like that."
"How did you get in here and where did you get that dress?"
He skimmed his eyes over the woman. The thin green material suited her well, and he loved the low neckline which showed her bosom.
"Do you like what you see Lord Roxton?"- she asked with a wicked smile.
"Can say..."- he pretended to be calm.
"Than maybe I will keep it." She smiled, and continued- "Tomorrow is the wedding. Challenger will produce a little fire-play. Be ready, and tell Richard too. I must go, I still have to let the others in" and she started to walk away.
"Wait!"
"Yes?"
"Be careful. Very careful. I... I don't want you to get hurt."
"Well... I don't want that either."
Ok. The latter was short, but just for Marguertite and Roxton...:))
