“Everything.” I whispered. She didn’t know I had planted cameras in her room as well, allowing me to see everything she did, and I had no plans of telling her either.

One night, I was working late in my office, the computer running with live footage of her in the hotel room. I didn’t pay much attention since she was in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Just as I was finishing the paperwork, I halted in my tracks when a sound caught my attention. I thought I had misheard, but then the sound came again. I looked up, finding her naked with her legs spread, moaning while she played with that pretty pussy of hers.

“Your voice is like a sweet melody to my ears.”

“You were listening?!” She hissed.

“Yes.” I leaned in to whisper in her ear. “And I fucked my fist to the sound.”

Althaia’s eyes widened, leaving her momentarily speechless.

“You’re such a creep!” She huffed out and walked away from me.

I chuckled and grabbed her arm to stop her.

“We’re not done yet.”

“You just said it was enough for today?”

“Shooting, yes. Now, you need to learn how to fight.” I told her.

“Fine. As long as I don’t have to run.” She scrunched up her face at the thought.

“You have to if you want to survive. Come.” I led her to the middle of the field. “Tell me what you remember.”

She listed everything Arianna had taught, and I gave a nod in approval.

“Good. Now, listen carefully to me. Fighting is the absolute last resort for you. I want you to hide, and it’s not up for discussion.” I stated firmly. “You may have gotten lucky in previous situations, but that will not always be the case. I want you to focus on your surroundings, and if you can hide, then do so until help arrives. Understood?”

Althaia nodded.

“You still need to outsmart your attacker. Tell me, Althaia, if you can’t hide and you know you won’t stand a chance in a fight, what do you do?” I watched her as her brows slightly furrowed in thought. It didn’t take long before she let out a smirk.

“Easy. Seduce him.” She said proudly, and I gave her a blank look.

“No.” I said immediately.

“Why not?” Althaia stepped closer to me, placing her hands on my chest. “I’m pretty sure it would work.” She gave me a seductive look, her hands trailing down, coming dangerously close to my length as she pressed her breasts against me.

“You seem like someone who knows how to touch a woman like me in all the right places.” Her sultry voice and innocent gaze tempted me to explore her body.

It was stirring a reaction within me, and all I could think of was all the ways I would make her come.

Those thoughts vanished when pain erupted on the inside of my thigh, causing me to slightly lose my balance. Simultaneously, her fist went flying toward my face. Just before it could connect with my jaw, I blocked it. Turning her around, I twisted her arm behind her back and held her in a loose headlock.

“Nice try.” I smirked.

“You have to admit it was good. I almost got you.” Althaia laughed. “All men are the same. You can’t think once all the blood has rushed down.”

“You won’t be doing that. Now, show me how you’re going to get out of this.”

“Easy.” She looked at me with a playful grin. “Hey, handsome. Fancy hitting it from the back?” She said, pressing her ass against my dick, rubbing while she bit down on her lip and shooting me a wink.

Fucking hell.

“Focus, Althaia.” My voice was strained as I held her tightly around the waist to stop her from rubbing against my cock, which was getting hard. “What do you do?” I repeated.
