All the while, she's falling for the one male, who's forced to kill her. She needs his help. He needs her. “Are you gonna let me go?” She asks, her voice calm and honey-sweet but I hear her heart pounding behind her ribs.“Afraid not, princess.”“You sure you wanna kill a harmless woman?”“I have my orders.” I say, which causes her to push her arms up under her chest and force her breasts up at me.
