"I have the unbeatable wand." Her heart was racing, and her body sung with pleasure when he gritted his teeth in a poor attempt to stave off his rising anger. "I-" She stepped closer to him, closer still, until her body was pressed right up against him; she looked up to see him carefully wear a blank mask. Her arms circled around his neck, and she pulled, pulled until he bent his neck, so her lips were just a hairbreadth from his ear. "- am stronger than you."
