This Assassin Thinks I Can't See Him, But He Always Undresses In Front of Me

He hears me swallowing repeatedly.

Assassin: "Are you hungry?"

I nod: "Mm-hmm."

He came back reeking of blood.

Although the scent was faint, I could still smell it.

The assassin took off his dirty clothes and headed towards the bathroom. "I'll make dinner after I shower."

I feigned shyness and asked coyly:

"Want to shower together?"

His body suddenly froze. He turned back to look at me.

I quickly added, "I can't see anything anyway."

"But I can!" he snapped, then turned and entered the bathroom.
