Gina watched him coming carefully- and timed her attack to stop his.  She reached out and grabbed at his flailing arms- hoping to pin them and apply leverage but Ciorsdan simply pulled his arms free and drove his knee up into her groin.<br/><br/>The blow slipped between her thighs at precisely the wrong moment for her- she was just opening her legs, to try and scissor them around his.  Her mouth opened in an o of surprise, shock and pain as she was lifted by the force of the blow and thrown onto her back on the sand.<br/><br/>Desperately she lashed out with her foot and cracked it hard into Ciorsdan's chest.  If she'd managed to get the hold he would have been in serious trouble.<br/><br/>Gina lay on the floor holding her groin.<br/><br/>"You bastard," she swore," I'll make you pay for that."
