Thread: A Royal Catastrophe (Mali and Quix)

Ben was too taken with the irony of the situation to be angry. They'd researched Sky Lassiter's entire history since the day of her birth, which schools she'd attended, the grades she'd received, any violations of the law, her hobbies and ambition to become a dancer, and gained photograph's off the internet, and from school yearbooks. With all that, there'd been no requirement to search for her drivers licence, as to Ben the job was a simple snatch-and-fly, and they'd only be together for a couple of hours on American soil. No wonder Schuyler's record had come up clean of traffic tickets, and that thought elicited another amused chuckle from Ben. Now that the danger was over, for the time being at least, the release of adrenaline transformed his demeanour. They'd escaped by pure luck, caused by a lack of information. What if he'd been aware the woman didn't have the first clue about handling a vehicle? Well, he would have taken that onus upon himself, and most likely, at this very minute, they'd both be slumped against the SUV's dashboard in the parking lot of the hotel, with blood dripping from bullet holes in the back of their heads. Why do I feel you're going to continue to surprise me, Schuyler Lassiter, Ben muttered as he wiped the smear of blood from her cheek, and sensed a change in attitude towards him. However, that didn't stop her from shocking him again, and the mans jaw dropped as he instinctively crossed his legs, that action time elicited as much by the immediate thoughts of pleasure, as they were remembered pain. Whilst I believe in your skills, and appreciate you saving my life, I'm not yet sure that I could trust you to treat the crown jewels with the gentleness and reverence they deserve. Ben matched Sky's teasing tone, before he diverted his attention to the location she had selected to dispose of the vehicle, and nodded in approval. The agent departed the SUV after her, and paused to collect his medical bag, and a suitcase from the backseat, and when he glanced up she surprised him again. For a woman who couldn't drive, she certainly knew a lot about cars, however, it wasn't that fact that caused his eyes to almost bug out of his head, and his gaze dropped to the toned abdomen, revealed by the shirt now tied around her waist, and the cleavage it displayed. Did she do this just to tease him? Swallowing down a lump in his throat, he deposited his suitcase on the back of the Honda. I don't mind in the slightest, and whilst I could stare all day and more at that wonderful body of yours. OUCH The agent's words were interrupted by her pinch of his cheek, just as his grandmother always did, and he swatted her hand away and shot her a death stare before continuing. The object at the mall is to not draw attention to ourselves, so I want you to wear this. His slight look of annoyance transformed into one of satisfaction when he held up an ankle length white trench-coat, which would likely reach Sky's knees, lifted a hand to ruffle her hair, deposited a Manchester United cap on top of her head, and maneuvered her to the passenger seat. Sunglasses too, if you have them. Don't worry, you'll still be sexy to me. Ben threw the coat on her lap before he shut her door, and entered the drivers side. Once he'd placed the Honda into gear, and they'd departed the lot, the MI6 agent twisted his head to gauge how she'd had taken his directions, and patted her knee. As for that tiara, as long as it comes with a solid gold chain and some bling. Ben's white teeth gleamed in the cab, Because, considering your Oscar-worthy performance last evening, and the fact I'm the one with the expense card, I've decided we'll purchase more of what you're wearing under, and once away, return to posing as Pimp and Hooker. After a second pat of her knee, Ben then returned his focus to the road, whistling merrily, and not saying another word until, a few minutes later, he pulled the vehicle to a stop in the parking lot of a mall, and leaned across to open Sky's door. After you, your Majesty.
