Threatened

Maxixe was in perfect control and hell bent on enticing her into accepting her role as the agreeable wife?

Kaoma pushed away from him but there was not very far she could have gone on the back of the horse with him.

She should have insisted on continuing the remainder of the journey with Sayid except that would have made her feel like a coward.

Kaoma was anything but a coward but she wasn't naïve either.

These feelings that Maxixe was capable of evoking in her threatened to take over.

"Why do you keep doing that?"

"I haven't got a clue!"

Maxixe blushed.

A rare occurrence, he must have regretted what he just blurted out.

He must not have meant to admit that to Kaoma for he frowned at her now.

Kaoma still hadn't a clue how they got to this point; his close proximity just made her feel even more frustrated.
