Not really , she said lightly .
Damon is weaker than me anyway .
Even if he wanted to kill me , he couldnt .
And if he hired an assassin ? Well , Im the worlds top assassin .

She rubbed her head against Nicolass large hand before nestling against his chest , her gaze lowering .
Her f fingers brushed against the silver necklace around her neck , the metal cool against her skin as thoughts swirled in her mind .

Noelle actually took a moment to seriously think about it .
This move clearly irritated Nicolas .
Shes really considering its feasibility ? Nicolas lips curled into a thin line .
