Stay with Willis.

"I'll protect you from the other men as best I can, but no promises. After all, to them, you're a 5k payday and a tight little pussy," Willis says, "Stay close."

Jade finds herself nodding in agreement, I can't believe I'm doing this. Instead, she says, "I'm in, but I get to check any location we get close to that might house the prize money. And if I find that, its all mine." She shoots Willis a look, daring him to argue.

Instead of arguing, Willis smirks, "Agreed," He says. With a gesture, he indicates that they are changing direction at the treeline.

Later that day, as the sun is setting on the horizon, casting the skyline in shades of bright orange and pink, Jade finds herself following Willis into another wooded area, a faint light can be seen among the trees ahead.."Stay close," Willis says softly. Jade closes the few paces between them so that they are almost touching, her eyes darting around.

From the direction of the light, Jade can hear several male voices talking softly, "Friends of yours?" She asks softly, her heart suddenly racing.

Willis stops, turning towards Jade, the way he casually places his hand on her ass causes her arousal to spike suddenly even as her sense of unease from earlier returns, "Stay here for a minute, and stay out of sight. I'll make sure they're my friends, then come get you."

Before she can reply, his hand slides off her ass and he slips into the darkness toward the light ahead. A few seconds later, she can hear the voices stop, followed by Willis saying something softly, far too soft for her to hear what is being said. She hears equally soft replies, accompanied by a single male voice saying "Nice!"

A few more hushed words, then Willis' voice calls out clearly, "You can come out now."
