“Ok, but youletme get out.”

“Try again. Twistfastandhard.” I gripped one wrist and she twisted her arm out. The look on her face was priceless, and it made my heart swell. “Good. Now try the other side.” I could see the little grin that was sliding out from under her skeptical expression.

“See?” I grinned. “Not too difficult, huh?”

She pursed her lips to conceal her skeptical smile, but her eyes were twinkling.

“Now let’s try, with me sitting on you.” I stepped forward, closing the gap between us, and pressed a kiss to her lips just as I swiped her leg out from under her, causing her to fall back onto the pillows I’d laid out.

“Hey.” She complained, but her breathing shifted as I kneeled on either side of her, and slowly lowered down until my hips met hers.

“I want you to roll over onto your belly, and using your elbows and your hips, push yourself up, and throw me off.”

She was pleasantly surprised that she was able to do it. “But you’re not going full force.”

“Neither are you.” I returned. “If someone attacks you, you do everything you can to get away. You fight dirty. If someone’s attacking you, they’ve already broken the rules. There are no rules, Emma. You bite, you claw, you kick, you scream. You’re little, so you might not be able to out muscle someone, but you do have a good chance of slipping out of someone's grip if you do it right.” I got up and headed to the basement. “One more thing.” I winked at her. “Don’t move a muscle.”

I came back upstairs and held my hands behind my back.

“What?” she groaned.

“Pick a hand– actually wait.” I shifted the items in my hands all to my left hand and reached into my pocket with my right hand. I pulled out a tube of pepper spray. “Oh, but first, pepper spray. This is for you. You can put it on your keys, okay?” I set it on the side table where we kept the car keys.

She narrowed her eyes and nodded. “Okay.” She dragged the word out.

I came to stand in front of her again. “Okay,now, pick a hand.”

She was propped up on her elbows, and she lazily pointed to my right hand. I pulled it out from behind my back and showed her the zip ties in my hand, and then I pulled my other hand out and I showed her the duct tape. She sat up and her eyes widened a little bit, but she didn’t say anything.

I knelt in front of her. “Hands.” I commanded her with a chuckle. She bit her lip and gave me a glimmering look as she put her hands out, with her wrists touching. I looped the tie around her wrists and pulled it mostly tight. Her expression flashed with uncertainty for just a moment.

I squatted in front of her. “Are you ok?”

“Mhmmm.” She just watched me for a moment, but didn’t say anything.

“You sure?” I watched her closely to see if this was too much. If she was ready for this. I didn’t want to push her past her limits too fast, or too soon.

“Yeah.” She said softly.

“Good.” I nodded, but kept monitoring her. “If you’re ever zip tied and you want to get out, you need to tighten the tie first. She gave me an incredulous look.

“Tighten it?” She said in disbelief.

“Go ahead.” She took the loose end between her teeth and pulled it tight.

“More. As tight as you can.”

“Is this a joke? You are going to let me out of this, aren’t you?”

“You can get out of it anytime you want.” I reached across and pulled it tight against her skin just before it started digging in. I demonstrated as I spoke, “Elbows out, and bring your wrists down hard against your hips. She tried, and it didn’t break. “Hard. Like your life depends on it, like if you don’t get out, I’m going to tickle you to death.”

Her eyes went wide, and she stumbled back, tripping over the pillows. “Don’t you dare Mason Reynolds. Don’t you dare.” Her eyes were gleaming as she backed up around the couch.

“You can get out anytime you want.” I teased her as I prowled forward. She threw her hands down hard and the zip tie snapped. She looked delighted, but when her eyes met mine, they went wide and I chased her around the couch, anyway. I chased her around the couch and back to the pillow crash mat I’d made. She screamed with delight as I tackled us to the floor, and I tickled her.

“Mason!” She shrieked between laughs. She pulled me to her lips and kissed me in an attempt to seduce me, so I’d stop tickling her.

“I see what you’re trying to do, and it won’t work.” I pushed her shirt up and blew a raspberry against her stomach. She screamed in delight.
