“What the hell did you do!” Granger snarled angrily at the woman standing before him.
“Exactly what was asked of me, sugar,” the woman smiled.
Granger shoved her hard against a tree, pinning her down with his arm held to her throat. He snarled at her once more.
Unphased by his anger, Alice cleared her throat.
“I don’t mind getting a little rough, but we really need to establish safe words before we get started,” she smiled mischievously.
Granger snarled again, pushing down on his arm a little more force.
“I might also point out that if anything happens to me, Holden will be mighty unhappy about it,” she smiled. “Now, I know he seems like a real sweetheart puppy with no bite to him, but I should warn you. There’s more Jabberwock than Dormouse in that man.”
“What is it with you people and this Alice in Wonderland crap!?” Granger growled in frustration, though he did let her go.
