Jael smirked, "That should be enough time. You may leave, Mill." He ordered.

Jael smirked, "I am sure you can take a guess." He turned his gaze away from the door to look at her.

Mauve blushed and turned away from him, "No, I can't," she whispered.

Jael pushed himself to a sitting position, and leaning closer he said, "It's the least you can do considering you've been enabling every interruption."
