Tina’s father responded before the Caretaker had a chance to however, "That is no way to speak to your Caretaker, Tina. You owe Bette your life"

Bette’s eyebrows raised slightly as if she was daring Tina to push her further, testing the limits of the beautiful blonde Princess before her. Bette glanced at Tina’s father and spoke softly and calmly.

"My Lord, its perfectly fine I assure you"

This time, she took a step closer to Tina, nearly startling the girl considering she had no idea Bette would actually be so bold.

"I’ll have you know Princess, I handle my job very . ." Her voice dipped low "very seriously"

Tina raised an eyebrow, trying to seem unaffected and unimpressed, "Is that so?"

Another smug grin spread across Bette’s face as she nodded, her voice still low, "Oh yes, you see my job is to keep my eyes on you at all times no matter what. How do you think I knew exactly where to find you?"

Another shiver spread throughout Tina’s body at the thought of Bette’s eyes on her all the time. She tried to keep her macho composure.

"So then why did it take you so long to save me?"

Bette shrugged as if she couldn’t care less about anything, "I wanted to see if you could handle it. When I saw you couldn’t, I swooped in and saved your royal behind. With all due respect of course"

The cold way Bette acted with Tina caused an unexplainable throbbing between her legs. She was a Princess, she shouldn’t like when people spoke down to her. No one else was allowed to do it aside from Bette and she never knew why.

Bette smiled and finally closed the distance between them, "So if you ever think you’re truly alone, guess again my lady"

She moved her head close to whisper low and husky into Tina’s ear, "I’ll always be watching you"

Tina’s breath caught in her throat as Bette pulled away with the same smug grin. Knowing she had lost yet another verbal sparring, she said no more and turned to walk into the castle. Tina’s father sighed sadly.
