Her face flushes slightly at your bold remark, but she still maintains her composure. A playful glint appears in her eyes as she responds.

"Oh, is that so? Well, I wouldn't mind getting wet if it means finding shelter and finishing our mission. But let's keep that kind of enthusiasm for when we're out of this jungle, shall we?"

She takes a step back, maintaining a professional distance while still allowing some flirtation in her voice.

Her face grows more serious at your suggestion, though there's still a hint of mischief in her eyes.

"I'm not here to play games, Nancey Havens. We have a job to do, and I intend to see it through."

She crosses her arms, her posture firm, but her expression softens slightly as she continues.

"But I suppose a little fun along the way wouldn't hurt. Just don't get too distracted from our goal."

She uncrosses her arms and starts walking deeper into the jungle, her hips swaying subtly as she leads the way.

Catches you checking her out from the corner of her eye, a smirk playing on her lips.

"You're certainly confident, aren't you? I hope you can keep up your energy, because I won't be slowing down for anyone."

She turns to face you, her piercing gaze meeting yours.

"And don't go making promises you can't keep. We're here to find ancient artifacts, not... other treasures."

With that, she turns back around and continues marching forward, her tone a mix of playfulness and sternness.

She stiffens at your touch, but doesn't pull away. Her cheeks flush, and she glances at you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes.

"You've got some nerve, I'll give you that. But let's get one thing straight - this isn't a game, and I'm not looking for some kind of personal discovery right now. We have a job to do."

She takes a deep breath, steadying herself.

"I appreciate the help, but I can manage on my own. Let's just focus on finding shelter and food for now. We can worry about personal growth later."

She steps away from you, her voice firm, but her eyes betray a flicker of doubt.

She raises an eyebrow at your suggestion, a small smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth.

"Oh, so you want to play with fire, do you? Well, I suppose that's a good skill to have out here."

She considers your offer for a moment before nodding.

"Alright, you can handle the fire. Just don't go getting any ideas about playing with more than just the flames. We clear?"

She fixes you with a stern look, but there's a playful glint in her eye.

She smirks at your comment, shaking her head slightly.

"You're a real piece of work, you know that? Always trying to get a rise out of me."

She watches you gather firewood for a moment before speaking again.

"As for what else you should know, well... I'm not much of a talker when it comes to personal stuff. But I appreciate a good laugh and some clever banter. Just don't push your luck."

She pauses, then adds:

"And for what it's worth, I'm glad to have you along on this expedition. Even if you are a bit... distracting."

She turns away, a slight blush on her cheeks.

Watches as the fire grows, her gaze flickering between the flames and your face. She takes a deep breath, considering your words.

"Treasures, huh? Well, I suppose every expedition has its surprises."

She smirks slightly, shaking her head.

"You're a smooth talker, I'll give you that. But let's not forget why we're really here. We've got a mission to complete, and I intend to see it through."

Despite her words, there's a softer tone to her voice, and she sits down a little closer to the fire than necessary, stretching out her legs towards the warmth.

"And for the record, I don't find you entirely... unpleasant. For a civilian, at least."

Catches your eye and rolls hers at your teasing remark.

"Oh please, like I'd make it that easy for you. You'll have to do a lot more than just wink to impress me."

She leans back, resting on her elbows, her body language relaxed yet guarded. She glances at you, her expression unreadable.

"But fine, you want to play the game? I can play. Just don't expect me to go easy on you. I've never been one for half-measures."

She smirks, her eyes glinting in the firelight, challenging you to match her intensity.

Her eyes widen slightly at your bold move, but she doesn't pull away. Instead, she leans in closer, her voice low and steady.

"I prefer my challenges just the way they come. Unpredictable, intense, and full of surprises. Anything less is boring."

She pauses, her gaze flickering down to your lips before meeting your eyes again.

"And I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, to do whatever it takes to come out on top. So if you think you can handle that, then bring it on."

She reaches out, almost involuntarily, to brush a strand of hair away from your face before seeming to catch herself and withdrawing her hand.

"But don't say I didn't warn you. Once we cross that line, there's no turning back."

Her breath hitches slightly at your closeness, but she maintains her composure, holding your gaze.

"Oh, so you're a gambler, are you? Well, let's see if your luck holds out here."

She smirks, her voice dropping to a husky whisper.

"You want to put those rules to the test? Fine. But remember, you asked for it."

With that, she closes the distance between you, pressing her lips firmly against yours in a passionate, claiming kiss. Her hands find your shoulders, gripping them tightly as she pours all her pent-up desire into the moment.

When she finally pulls back, she's breathing heavily, her eyes dark with lust and challenge.

"Game on, Nancey Havens. Let's see what you're really made of."

She licks her lips, tasting you, and grins wickedly.

Gasps softly at the sensation of your teeth on her skin, a shiver running down her spine. She presses herself closer to you, her body fitting perfectly against yours.

"Mmm, you're certainly not afraid to play rough." She murmurs, her voice husky with desire.

Her hands roam over your chest and shoulders, feeling the solid muscle beneath your shirt. She tugs at it impatiently, wanting to feel your skin against hers.

"You keep talking big game, but can you actually follow through? Or are you all bark and no bite?" She challenges, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

She leans in to nip at your bottom lip, teasing you with her teeth.

"Show me what you've got, Nancey Havens. Impress me."
