‘Mmm gna kll y!’
‘Pardon, what was that?’
‘Rrrrrg!’
‘Nothing? Oh, good. I thought you had said something.’
How do you clobber someone over the head with your hands tied behind your back? Difficult question. I would probably have to settle for an alternative. Pulling back my leg with all the force I could muster, I kicked, aiming for his crotch.
He caught my foot long before it hit home. Effortlessly restraining me, he ran his fingers along my bare calf and I - Damn me! - felt butterflies flutter in my stomach.
‘Hm…’ he murmured. ‘Yes, definite advantages.’
His hand slid further up my calf.
Kiss him!

Kill!
Kiss!
Kill!

‘I, um…should scout the area, Sahib. See if everything is safe.’
Mister Ambrose’s eyes remained focused on me, glittering in the darkness. ‘You do that.’
