I Want To Be Alone.

Kyra glance at the man who is obviously ogling her and his eyes stop at her face for a quite long before she clears her throat for a bit.

"Before I answer you, could you get me a cloth to cover my cold-belly?" Kyra ask. Feeling a bit embarrassed with the thought that she wears something a little bit open and that attract this man to ogling her.

"Why need to cover it? You didn't hesitate to put it on in the first place. Perhaps, you turn into a shy woman when you encounter with a handsome man?" He curled up his lips into a half grin. It does show her his handsome face.

Lift up her eyebrow, she tries to not look like she was affected by his handsome look. "I don't see any handsome man here."

With that response from her make Grey grinning even more. "Really? You need to check on your eyes, missy." He turns around and flips the tent flap to find the young soldier man who guarded at the entrance.

"Find a cloth for this lady." He instructs and then turns back inside the tent.

He did not sit on the chair, instead, he sits at the edge of the table beside Kyra. Looking down at her face with a questioning face.

"What is your name?" He asks.

"I don't see a necessity for you to know my name," Kyra replied to him, looked up to him.

They both look at each other eyes like it was a staring competition. Inside, both hearts keep tingling with a weird feeling.

"Since you refuse to tell me your name, how about if I call you 'Miss Belly'?" Grey continues again. So intrigued to hear her voice. She did not reply it with a soft tone, but still, he hears it so melodious to his ear. He also did not know why.

"Suit yourself, Mister weirdo," Kyra replied, mimicking at him back.

Chuckles, he leans closer to her ear. "Hayden's companion?"

"Yes. He said to call you out if I'm in trouble." Kyra cut the chase. It's better if she can get out here sooner.

"Hm? I can help you. But I want some return for that. My service is not free, Miss Belly." He whispers again.

Tilts her head a little, her nose almost touches his cheek. "How much?" She also said in a low tone.

"Not much. Just one night?" He also tilts his face to match up with her. Staring at her full lips which already part a bit. Very sexy to his eyes.

Kyra part her lips when she heard his reply. Not believing her ears. "I'm not a whore, Mister weirdo. I decline to accept your term of payment in that way. You can ask for something else." She holds her urge to slap him hard on the face and kick his balls so that he can't produce any stupid man like him in the future.

"Hmm..to bad. I thought someone claim to be my woman just to get me to come here. Well, I guess, that's it then. Good day, Miss Belly." Grey straighten up his body and stood up after that. Ready to leave the tent.

Seeing him seriously will abandon her, she bit her lower lip while eyeing his back. "Wa..wait." She let out her voice when he already half out of the tent.

Halt his pace, he turns to look at her blankly. "Hm?"

"I..I agree. But not tonight. I had to go now, so, how about now?" Kyra courage up to said those word.

Grey lifts up his one eyebrow. A bit surprised to see her change her mind so drastically. "Wow! Now?" He asks.

"Yes, now. Not in here as well. People might see and heard us." She glances at him again as he already walks inside the tent.

Just when he wants to open up his mouth, the young soldier from before greet him from the outside of the tent.

"Captain, here is the cloth you ask for." The young soldier went inside the tent.

"Take off her handcuff and she will be following me," Grey instructs his men. Without any delay, the young soldier does as he says.

After wrapping her body with a light gray blanket, Kyra follows behind Grey to the farthest tent at the side of the camp. Clearly, it was a private tent where there is no soldier to guard it around there.

He grabs her slender waist and pulls her inside the tent, with rough, one hand cupped her cheek and lift her head up to look at him.

"Is this far enough?" He asks and without waiting for her reply, he kisses her lips and darts his tongue inside her mouth.

Kyra did not refuse him, she let him taste her lips first. Play with his trick and once he was distracted, she will kick his balls with her knee.

She thought that he was unaware, but his hand was faster when he held up her knee and push it down before his hand slip into her dress and caress her thigh.

She groans a bit and pushes his body with both of her hand. But his grip on her waist was so tight.

Not having much choice, she wants to bit his tongue but then he immediately pulls it out and kiss her neckline and to the earlobe. He nibbles it a little before he releases it and whispers to her.

"And... that's it for my payment. The next time, you have to pay it with your body under me and your pleasuring moans." He releases her body and lightly kiss her lips again. For the last time.

Kyra was so surprised. She thought that he would go all the way. Well, even though he is a bit wicked, but she didn't find it gross when they kissed. If not because she was afraid that he might rape her, she may be more than willing to go all the way with him. He is, after all..an eye-catching to her.

"Come on, Hayden might be waiting." He reaches out his hand to her.

"I can walk on my own." He said and brushed his hand over. That's it. Her ego takes place for covering her shameful thought and the fact that he didn't go all the way.

"Alright." He said and flip the flap. When they were out, it is dinner time for the camp soldier. So Grey take this opportunity to lead Kyra back to the city without anyone notice them.

…

"What are we doing here?" Yuina asks when she saw three horse are ready tied up at the tree and there are a few bags on the horseback. Which is she can confirm it was their belongings.

"We wait for Hayden and Kyra before we set off from this city," Zane explain to her. He keeps glancing at Yuina as he praises her beauty. She really, very, extremely, beautiful in his thought. Well, in his eyes, every woman is a beautiful creature. That's a normal eye for a playboy.

"What was your name again?" Yuina squinted her eyes to Zane.

"Zane. Zane Damien." He reaches out his hand to handshake with her.

"Zane. I am Yuina. Sorry for yelling and punching your back." She half smiles at him and only briefly shakes his hand before she pulls her hand back.

"It's okay. I know you must be afraid of what happens to you."

Yuina just nods her head and wait for the two of them return. Not long after, Hayden arrives at the designated location that they have been set up yesterday night.

"Princess." Hayden went to her and hug her but it was momentarily before Yuina pushes his body.

"I want to be alone." She said and find a sit which is a bit far from him.

He squinted his eyes to Zane. Within a second, Zane raises both of his hand to the air. "No. I don't do anything. She was just fine earlier."

Hayden sighs heavily and went to her again. "Princess.."

"Didn't you hear me, Hayden? I want to be alone. Go." She said with sternly in her voice.

Lowered his head, he said. "Yes, princess." He went back to the horse. Checking their equipment and supplies whether it's enough or not.

After one hour waiting, finally, Kyra reaches their place with Grey Hudson behind her. Once she saw Yuina, her heart feel at ease.

"Yuina!" Kyra calls Yuina's name and runs to her. Hug her with a smile.

"Sorry, I couldn't protect you last time. I'm so sorry." She said.

"It's okay. I'm fine now." She said and hug Kyra again.

While they both talking and hugging, Grey went to Hayden and glance at another person who sits not far from them.

"Hayden." Grey gives him a little hug and patted on his back.

"It been so long," Hayden said with a gentle voice.

"Yeah. How did you end up like this?" He asks and glances at his former superior and one of his best friend.

"You know how I end up like this." Hayden took a quick glance to Yuina.

Grey can see his eyes has been set for that princess long ago. Seeing both of them here now, he certainly know what happens a little bit.

"You guys should go before tomorrow. We will send the prisoner back to the main castle. If the King sees you, It'd be trouble for me." Grey warns him.

"Yes. Thank you, Grey."
