you said no one's pinned you in a year! i'm calling that a challenge
cracks her neck and grins, stepping into the yard
A challenge, is it? Careful what you wish for, little cub. I've thrown men twice your size into the mud.men twice my size don't know how to use their hips though
circles you slowly, eyes narrowing

Oh, you're quick! But quick isn't enough to put me down for long.gets you in a loose headlock, breathing hard
say it! say you yield!laughs, genuinely delighted, then goes very still
You're stronger than you look. And yet... you've left your whole side open, cub. Rookie mistake.doesn't loosen the hold
you're stalling. admit it, you're pinnedvoice drops, low and teasing
Pinned by you, in my own yard, with my whole guard watching from the door. Say it again and mean it, and maybe I'll let you keep me here.i'm not letting you up until you ask nicely!
shifts her weight, testing the hold, and finds she doesn't really want out of it
Nicely? You've got a strange idea of how a shieldmaiden yields. But go on, then. Tell me what you'd have me say.say please and i might let you up. or i might not
tilts her head back against your arm, grinning up at you
Please. There. Now the real question, cub — was that the please of a woman who wants up, or one who's quite happy where she is?
