She raised an eyebrow, looking intrigued despite herself. She leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees, and said in a challenging tone:

A wager, huh? What did you have in mind? Maria's eyes narrowed slightly as she tried to read my expression, waiting for my response with a mix of curiosity and suspicion.

She smirked, leaning back on the sofa with a confident look on her face. Oh, I see. Well, if you think you can handle me, then by all means, let's play your little game. But don't say I didn't warn you when I make you my bitch. She narrowed her eyes, her tone laced with arrogance and mischief.

Maria's smirk widened as she stood up, taking a step towards me, her eyes locked onto mine. She kept her voice low and challenging. Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. But I can assure you, I won't go down without a fight. And when I win, you'll be begging for mercy. She took another step closer, her voice dripping with confidence and a hint of seduction.

Maria's eyes flashed with determination, and she took another step forward, closing the distance between us. Her voice was low and taunting. Beg, huh? That's cute. But you underestimate me, brother. I won't be the one on my knees, believe me. She licked her lips, her gaze never leaving mine. Her voice dropped to a whisper as she said: I always get what I want, and right now... I want you to surrender. Maria reached out and placed a finger on my chest, trailing it down slowly.

Maria's smirk widened as she leaned in closer, her lips almost brushing against my ear. Her voice was a low, seductive whisper.

Well, nature can be overcome, dear brother. She let out a soft chuckle, her breath hot against my skin. I will make you beg for mercy, and when you do... I will relish in your surrender. She pulled back slightly, her eyes dancing with mischief and determination. Her voice was laced with arrogance as she said, But don't worry, I'll make sure you enjoy every moment of your defeat. With that, she turned and walked away, leaving me standing there, my heart pounding in my chest.

Maria stopped in her tracks and turned around to face me, her eyes narrowing. A slow, challenging smile spread across her face as she took a step closer, her voice dripping with arrogance.

Oh, I'm not just confident, dear brother. I'm cocky because I know I will win. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze holding mine. And when I do, you'll be the one on your knees, begging for mercy.

She reached out and ran a finger along my jaw, her touch light and teasing. Her voice dropped to a whisper as she said, But until then, let the games begin. With that, she turned and walked away, leaving me standing there, my heart pounding with anticipation and the thrill of the challenge ahead.

Maria gasped in surprise as I grabbed her arm, her eyes widening for a moment before narrowing again. A slow, challenging smile spread across her face as she looked up at me.

Oh, I'm counting on it, brother. She leaned in closer, her voice low and seductive. But you'll have to catch me first.

Before I could react, she wrenched her arm free and stepped back, a mischievous glint in her eyes. She turned and walked away, calling over her shoulder, I hope you're ready for this, because I won't make it easy for you. She disappeared into the next room, leaving me standing there, my heart pounding with excitement and determination.

Just as I entered the room, Maria emerged from behind a nearby bookcase, her eyes challenging and a smug smile on her face.

Surprised to see me? She taunted, taking a step towards me. I told you, I won't make it easy for you. She reached out and trailed a finger down my chest, her touch light and teasing. Her voice was a low, seductive whisper as she said, But I must admit, the chase is half the fun. She leaned in closer, her lips brushing against my ear. She chuckled softly before pulling back and turning away, her hips swaying as she walked away from me. And who knows? Maybe I'll even let you catch me. She glanced back over her shoulder, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Maria laughed, a sound that was both amused and mocking. She took a step back, putting some distance between us. Her eyes gleamed with mischief as she looked up at me, her voice dripping with arrogance.

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that, dear brother. She trailed a finger along my arm, her touch light and teasing. You may be the hunter now, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. She tilted her head to the side, a slow, challenging smile spreading across her face. And I must warn you, I can be quite the huntress myself. With that, she stepped back, ready to make her move. Her eyes narrowed as she said, But you'll have to catch me first. *

Maria gasped as my hand traced her hip, her eyes widening for a moment before narrowing again. She let out a low, sultry laugh, her voice dripping with confidence and mischief.

Oh, I'm counting on it, brother. She leaned in closer, her lips brushing against my ear. But I won't make it easy for you. I'll make you work for it.

She pulled back, her eyes gleaming with challenge. She took a step to the side, ready to make her move. And who knows? Maybe I'll even surprise you. She turned and dashed away, her laughter echoing behind her as she disappeared into the next room.

Just as I entered the room, Maria was waiting for me, a smug smile on her face. She leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest.

Oh, I always deliver, dear brother. She pushed herself off the wall and took a step towards me, her hips swaying with each step. And I promise, this will be a game you won't forget.

She reached out and trailed a finger down my chest, her touch light and teasing. Her voice lowered to a seductive whisper as she said, But I must warn you, I play to win. She leaned in closer, her lips brushing against my ear. She let out a soft chuckle before pulling back and turning away, her hips swaying as she walked towards the window.

And I always get what I want. *

Maria's eyes widened for a moment as I caught her arm, but she quickly regained her composure. She turned to face me, a slow, challenging smile spreading across her face.

Oh, I want many things, brother. She leaned in closer, her voice low and seductive. But right now, I want you to chase me.

She reached up and trailed a finger along my jaw, her touch light and teasing. Her eyes gleamed with mischief as she said, And I want you to know that when I let you catch me... it's because I want you to. With that, she wrenched her arm free and darted away, her laughter echoing through the room as she disappeared through the open window and onto the balcony outside.

Come and get me, brother. She called out, her voice filled with challenge and exhilaration.
