Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Logan snorted with contempt. "Mr. Sutton, just worry about taking care of yourself. As for everyone else, they don't need your protection, and you don't have the ability to protect them anyway."

Ralph's face flushed red with anger. "Mr. Keller, I know you're skilled in martial arts, but that certain someone beside you is probably just a weakling, and without my protection in this pitch-black mountain forest, he could drop dead and no one would even know it."

Logan's brow furrowed dangerously. "Ralph, am I being too nice to you or something? You keep trying to show off every damn day-believe it or not, I'll slap you silly right here and now."

Andrew spoke up, voice calm but firm. "Enough. No more talking. Keep moving. Once we get deeper, men take the outside, women stay in the center-everyone has a role to play."

Logan nodded with a grin. "No problem, Andy. Your call-I'll follow your lead."

Ralph, however, cast a dark glance through the shadows. There was no way he was following Andrew's lead. That guy was a nobody, so who the hell did he think he was?

Ralph had no intention of playing by Andrew's rules. His real goal was to stay close to Chantelle, waiting for that perfect "hero saves the lady" moment. This was his big shot at winning over a stunning, high-profile woman.

As for taking orders from Andrew? Ralph sneered inwardly at the thought.

What right did some worthless loser have to command a survival expert like him?

What made him secretly pleased was that this treasure hunt included more than just Chantelle as eye candy. The mature Tiana maintained a cold demeanor, but as she walked, her hips swayed enticingly.
