~Dahlia's POV~
"Then I'd like to see you try!" Kai snapped sultrily.
One minute, he was standing aloof to my side and the next, he was right in front of me, throwing a fist in my direction and I'd been so lost and so stunned that it took me a moment to regain my composure.
But thankfully, I was fast.
I ducked swiftly, my heart picking up tempo as I rose to my feet and threw out my arms at him. My idea had been to strike him across the face when he was least expecting, but I was wrong.
He was a professional, and I, an amateur. Alpha Kai caught my arm like it was nothing but a pesky insect. He flashed a grin at me, momentarily stunning me, and in my moment of distraction, he twisted my arm behind me and pulled me flush against his bare chest in such a way that my entire back was now pressed against his front.
I gasped— not at the pain shooting through my arm but at the sudden contact— and girl, he was warmmm!
I gulped. "You don't fight fair."
