Anita finally gets her arm completely around Damian's throat and braced against her other arm. She feels Richard letting go of Damian's hair by the way his hand slides out from between her breasts.
The instant Richard lets go, though, Damian springs to his feet, picking Anita up and carrying her along as he pins Richard to the floor. She has neither the weight nor the leverage in this position to do much of anything except possibly break Damian's neck. She's hesitant to do that because she's not entirely certain he could heal that level of damage, or, for that matter, survive it. Decapitation would kill just about any vampire out there; would breaking the spinal cord at the neck count?
Richard has his good arm against Damian's chest, but it's already beginning to shake and buckle. Anita looks around and finds Nathaniel and Gregory at the foot of the stairs. "Nathaniel!" she yells, and the leopard rushes to her side, pulling on Damian's arm.
