She was at a loss for words. That question was unexpected.

Billy didn’t say anything at first, he only looked her up and down with those predatory eyes and walked over to the edge of the bed. When he was seated, he cleared his throat and took off his shirt. “I guess this interview will be fun for me then. Ruby. Take off your dress.” It wasn’t a request, his voice sounded authoritative, silently telling her that she would be taking off her dress whether she wanted to or not.
It was time. It was finally time for her to do the thing she had come here for. The urge to throw up came back even harder. but she swallowed down the acid in her throat once more. She slowly reached for the hem of her dress with shaky fingers, and with each downward movement that her hands made, Billy’s grin got even more ominous. She had finally touched the hem, and was moving her dress upwards when the door behind her burst open and slammed against the wall. Ruby jumped in shock and turned around to see Alex Blackwood with Scott right behind him.
