"Lucas Walker, don't think you can outsmart me. I'm not helpless," Ivana Bennett warned.
She loosened her grasp on his throat, her hands beginning to search his body for hidden items.
She was well aware of his cunning and deceit and remained cautious as she frisked him.
Her fingers slid over his suit, intrusively searching each pocket and even feeling around his waist.
Within moments she found a mini-handgun on him, along with a slender knife tucked inside his sleeve.
"Don't move a muscle!"
With the muzzle of her gun pressed against his chest, Ivana frowned as she began to search his pants.
"Well..." Lucas chuckled, "Shall I... help speed this up and get completely naked?"
"Shut up!" Ivana ordered tersely, "Remove your shoes!"
Without further protest, Lucas shrugged and removed his shoes.
With one swift movement, Ivana unbuckled and removed his belt.
"Put your hands up, slowly turn around, and lean against the wall. Now! ...Show me your hands."
