"No more fight?" Nicolas whispered in a disappointed voice, and Ari wished she could pummel him to the ground. She was about to faint because of lack of oxygen, and this man was disappointed because Ari was not fighting back? He had to be kidding her.
The man looked at her with a tilt of his head, he then hummed and remarked, "Well it must be hard for you to fight back when you are being choked."
Great going, genius, Ari thought sarcastically.
"I am going to loosen the hold on your throat, but you better stay put, all right?" He said to her and her nails scratched his arm that was wrapped around her throat. His eyes fell on the blood that she had drawn by scratching him, and he hummed, "Well, this is exciting. I think I like this position, what do you say?"
