Chapter 37
Michael
And she's up again. I make a grab for her arms, trying to lock them behind her back, but she turns, drops, executes a perfect roll and she's there again, facing me.... I've seen you attacked.....
.... More than once....
But never by a single assailant....
Again, I go for her, this time reaching for her throat, but she blocks me, knocking my hands apart and responds with an elbow in the ribs that makes my eyes water....
*****
.... I cuff her wrists with my hands, thinking I have her, but somehow her elbows are inside mine, forcing my arms to collapse. Her knee comes up to my groin, moving with speed and force and I lurch back.... Would she really?
I'm disinclined to put it to the test, but instead, throw myself forward, seizing her around the waist, taking us both down and we tumble together, Charlotte below me as we fall to land with a rib-collapsing thump onto the mat.... I'm over her, she flat on her back under me. I ought to have control, but her arms are stretched up, elbows locked under my shoulders, and there's nothing I can do. My entire weight on top of her and I can't reach her. And I hope like hell that the hard-on I have growing under my joggers doesn't show....
"I'm going to fuck you raw later...." I hiss, ".... when I get you away from this lot."
"You think?" She grins, twists and abruptly, her left leg is planted under my chest.... twists again, the other way, and the right one also, pushing me back and away. Then she's kicking with both feet. If she were really trying to hurt, my face would be smashed.

I back away....
Can I beat her?
Without actually hurting her....

The guests disperse back to the main lounge, chatting and laughing. I see one couple, she laughing with a gimme wag of the fingers to him. Money changes hands.... Charlotte and Michael both wiping towels over sweating faces.
"You two go get a shower and a change. I'll keep this lot happy until you get back."
Michael nods, but he has a look in his eye....
As the two turn and head for the house, I say quietly, "That is combat we just watched isn't it?"
James glances at me sidelong, his eyes full of humour. "Maybe...."
"It had.... undertones...."
"I'll give you that one." He nods after them. "Think I'll just check up that all's well. I'll be back in a jiffy." He passes his tray to the nearest waiter then follows the heated, sweaty pair out.
