Natalie smirked slyly . She was just trying to keep Ashton occupied with this and buy herself some time . All she had to do was find a way to treat the parasitic poison , and she could then take back her word . She had no interest in becoming a man's plaything , even if the man was Ashton . " It's tempting , indeed . Alright . I'll accept that bet . Go on , then . Tell me who your friend Sheila picked . What will I need to do to prove that I'm more powerful than he is ? " Ashton asked . From the start , Ashton had known Natalie wouldn't truly submit to him so easily .

She would never willingly offer herself up to him if he didn't make it clear to her just what he was capable of .

However , before that happens , I won't admit that you're my master , but you will still have to treat me . What do you say ? " She was baiting him , and she was sure that someone as proud of himself as he was would take the bait . This would buy her enough time ! " Sure , " Ashton answered .

I'll be waiting for the day Edmund admits that he's weaker than you ! " " Where's Edmund and your friend? Let's meet them and settle this at once , " Ashton said . He knew what Natalie was trying to pull , but he didn't care . It was just as well , because he could seize this chance to make a move against the Sage .
