Bab 168: Seraphina.

Ray pushed himself out of the chair, a predatory smile lingering on his lips. The playful banter had taken a sharp turn, leaving him with a head full of questions and a newfound respect for the woman across the table. "This was… a thought provoking conversation, I found it quite pleasant Seraphina," he said, his voice smooth as it was calm and collected.

"Let's do this again sometime. But next time, perhaps a more… candid conversation? One where you bring out your real self, Saintess." He hinted at something but Seraphina just smiled as if she didn't know what he was talking about.

The challenge hung heavy.

Seraphina then met his gaze, her eyes still closed but she was smiling. "The same could be said for you, Vampire," she countered as he smile slightly widened.

"Indeed," Ray replied, a knowing glint in his eyes.

"Until next time then." He said.

He turned and strode out of the room, leaving behind a woman whose facade cracked.
