Sam was stunned. Hundreds of thoughts rushed into his head – should he call Edilio and get his soldiers to take her away? He couldn't do that, she hadn't done anything wrong - not directly anyway. What about Astrid? She certainly wouldn't be happy. Diana laughed as she saw the look of panic cross Sam's face. "Don't worry Sam, I won't hurt you," Diana said softly.
Diana had it all figured out. Sam was lost – his panic confirmed her suspicions. He was caught somewhere between wanting to be the perfect hero with the perfect girlfriend, and being the normal kid who made some mistakes. Diana leaned in closer. She could smell his cologne and she felt his body tense up as she ran her fingertips up his chest.
Sam didn't pull away, though every inch of his body sensed danger. Diana gently kissed his neck and Sam melted. He was tired of being perfect, he craved recklessness. Diana pressed her lips against his neck again, moving closer and closer to Sam's mouth. She kissed the corners of his mouth before pulling away. Diana laughed, tossing her long hair over her shoulder. Then she turned and left.
Sam was frozen. He was absolutely baffled by the whole incident – it was so wrong but it had felt so great. He felt a pang of guilt as he thought of Astrid. "No, you didn't do anything, she came on to you," Sam reasoned with himself. In the back of his mind however, he craved more.
