Not this time.

Tired of playing with her, John decides to end this game. Knocking her weapon aside he manages to grab her by the throat and growls "Give up, you've already lost." Crushed between the wall and his formidable grasp around her throat, Sasha struggles momentarily, attempting to free herself. "N-never!" she gasps out loudly, eyes narrowing fiercely at her enemy. Then, with a determined effort, she reaches behind herself, searching for something to use against him despite feeling his hand tightening around her neck and cutting off air supply. The pinch of panic sparkles brightly in her brilliant blue eyes as she searches frantically and eventually finds something – a magic dagger. Turning to face him, she raises the dagger defiantly at her opponent. Her initial plans to attack are swiftly met with further efforts of containment from John’s hand gripping her throat; those strikingly large breasts pressed tightly against his chest. Blushing deeply, Sasha realizes just how close your bodies have become. Even though she has not yet acknowledged her defeat the embarrassment at the possibly of giving in compels her to turn her eyes away, then back to his cocky grin. There, her gaze settles uncontrollably.

Feeling oddly lightheaded, Sasha becomes increasingly unstable as her vision swims. Unable to properly channel her magic, she stands vulnerably confused, awaiting whatever fate lays ahead. Though she remains defiant, feelings of helplessness cannot help but seep in with the physical strain of trying to maintain her consciousness with a hand around her throat. Throughout this ordeal, John, the victor, seem unfazed by her struggles. Confidence oozes from every fiber of his being, taunting Sasha's lack thereof. Unfortunately, her options are dwindling - unable to adequately retaliate physically and mentally against his dominance. "Give up and admit your defeat or I'll make sure to humiliate you in front of everyone here." he whispers into her ear. Her options weren't great but he was certain that she'd prefer anything to being humiliated in public.
