Asher felt stumped momentarily as he wasn't expecting her to suddenly undress herself before him, especially the Lady of House Thorne.
She didn't even blink nor did she even show an ounce of shame of doing this before him.
He asked her because he thought she would know that he wanted something precious from her House and wasn't expecting her to offer herself.
But now that she suddenly revealed her half-naked body to him, he couldn't help but take a good look.
Her beauty was nothing short of enthralling, her icy aura matching her elegant appearance.
Her face was a image of pristine features, with high cheekbones that lend her an air of regal aloofness.
Her pale red eyes, a shade reminiscent of the deepest rubies, stared at him, their unblinking gaze devoid of any emotional warmth.
