Lara offers to strip.

Lara’s hand slowly moved down to her short shorts as her thumbs dug inside them, pulling them down slightly in front. When she realized the guardians were curious at the very least she knew she was on the right track, all that was left was finding a quiet place and she would be able to pass with ease.

The look on the guards faces indicated that they were expecting her to continue, something Lara wasn’t eager to entertain in front of the mercenaries. The more Lara waited the more she seemed to lose the guardians interest until they went back to blankly staring into the space before them.

Lara reacted by pushing her thumbs even farther down revealing almost the entirety of her mound of Venus while biting her lip seductively. This seemed to spark their interest once again and they were now focusing their attention on her once again.

Unfortunately for Lara theirs was not the only attention she sparked, what she failed to realize was that she lowered her shorts farther than she intended to and a good chunk of her bum ended up being exposed.
This was brought to her attention once the mercenaries started cheering, but it wasn’t the fact that they saw her exposed behind that worried her. She was more worried that they were onto her intentions and she would lose her leadership over them even more.

‘’Slide it down completely!’’ One of the guardians said to Lara.

‘’Uhm…l…let’s find some more private place.’’ A startled Lara answered.

‘’We can’t leave our post for anything or anyone. Besides what’s wrong with right here?’’One of the guardians replied.

‘’Them, I don’t want to strip in front of them.’’ Lara answered motioning her head towards the mercenaries.

The mercenaries instead replied with a confused look on their faces as if she had just said something that was new to them. Lara scanned her surroundings quickly looking for Ortega to see if he could help her out in talking with the guards, but he was strangely nowhere to be found.
Despite her previous excitement of doing it in front of an audience Lara wasn’t very keen on going through with it once the reality of it kicked in.

‘’If you fear showing skin in front of the living, you will not survive the temple. We can not let you pass.’’ One of the guardians told Lara when she was about to pull her pants up.

‘’Look can’t we just go into the woods and pretend we are negotiating?’’ Lara asked in a last attempt to save herself from her predicament.

‘’You are not ready, you will not pass!’’ The man replied once again in a strong and firm tone as he resumed looking into the distance along with his fellow guardians.

Lara had once again lost their interest and she doubted that she would get another chance if she messed it up again. It was now or never and she had to decide whether or not she would give in and put her shame aside or simply try to talk her way out of it, but she felt it was obvious that it would be difficult to top this offer.

She looked at the guards and swallowed hard…
