My introduction to Ray’s fighting techniques wasn’t at all like working with Herman’s. Ray used his size to push around and had no problem pumling . He took his teaching skills seriously. Ray was slower than Brack and Herman, but I still had trouble staying off the mats.
"You need to stop him from grabbing you or you’ll face-plant every ti," Brack said as he lifted from my face-down position on the mat. I would scream again, but there was no air in my lungs. I wasn’t sure who I hated moreBrack for the smile he tried to hide or Ray for leaving with a body covered in bruises.
"Then fucking teach how because nothing I’m doing works."
Brack smoothed down my shirt, which caught beneath my boobs. "Sotis you need to run. You’re doing a great job at attacking, but you also need to know when escape is in your best interest."
"That’s what you think. I’m taking Snuffleupagus down if it’s the last thing I do," I huffed as I walked back to the center of the mat. "Co on, Snuffy, give it to again."
Ray’s face turned a deeper shade of red. "Sure, pretty pants, whatever you want," he said a split second before he attacked.
I sidestepped, batted his beefy hand aside using Herman’s knife-fighting technique and shot out with a foot to his shin. Damn it hurt. . When he backed up a step, I took off. I left the hangar behind with Brack calling my na and uttering a few curses that had laughing. I ran full out needing the expansion in my lungs. I headed to the water, which was about half a mile away. I heard Brack yell once more from behind , so I veered into the trees. They weren’t dense and my thoughts were to keep the road in sight. A crashing noise ca from about twenty feet to my right opposite the road. I tripped as I glanced over. I fell into low brush with a pointy stick or two poking . I wasn’t thinking of pain. Sothing or soone was close. I could feel them watching . My heart raced. A shadow appeared over and I rolled. At the sa ti I kicked out my legs.
"Hey, it’s ," Brack said as he jumped out of my reach.
He didn’t look happy. "There’s soone there." Now I was afraid for Brack, who had his back toward where the noise ca from.
"Just , Olivia," Ray joined us from the trees.
I slapped Brack’s hand away. Fuck. With the training, I thought I could outrun my fear. All I wanted to do at this mont was roll over and cry. My world would never be close to how it had been. Now sothing as simple as rustling trees had panicking.
"Are you going to lie there all day or do you want to join you?"
I looked around and Ray was no longer in the vicinity. "You are such an asshole."
"No, you’re not thinking. That causes danger to everyone around you. Why do you think I called in extra protection? Do you still think this is a ga? Two people are dead and a lunatic has his sights set on you. Taking this seriously would help my job."
"Does fucking help your job?" I rolled and went to my feet. "You never told why you called in backup. Is the island compromised? I have the right to know."
One blue eye and one green eye rolled.
"You bastard." I swung my fist and it connected. Not with his face. He’d put his palm up to block.
Brack twisted my arm and spun until my back was against his chest. He spoke close to my ear, sending shivers across my skin. "They’re only here because your safety is compromised with . I told Mack I planned to fuck you and requested backup." One hand smoothed up my thigh and stopped at my hip.
I steeled myself against the flood of desire that swamped . I needed answers. "And what exactly changed your mind? Don’t give that shit about my body or drive to win. You were so adamant about not fucking . Just tell the truth for once." I didn’t want to beg but I really needed honesty. "Please."
Brack released my hip and turned around. His eyes burned into mine. "I wasn’t getting through your thick skull that you need to prepare yourself for all the crazies in the world. You weren’t taking our drills seriously. I fought changing our relationship with everything I had. I planned on fucking you from the mont I saw you if that makes you feel any better. Even Mack thought getting into your hot little pussy was a bad move. Bottom line, I should have kept my dick in my pants and waited. I can’t go back and do it again and truthfully don’t want to."
I studied him closely. "I can’t believe you told Mack."
"I had no choice. You don’t sleep with a target. It fucks things up. I can handle you pissed off. I can’t handle watching this guy take everything from you and turn you into a quivering ss. I’ve seen that. Seen what it does to a person. Not you. I fucked you because I wanted to. I’m selfish. And you are sexy as hell, so live with it."
His lips slamd into mine bringing all his anger into play. I kissed him back with mine.
He broke away first. "Not here. You need to work with Ray. We know nothing about your stalker. I want you prepared."
I’d thought about a long-term relationship the night before. Brack’s words about being prepared had realizing he wouldn’t be around forever. Not that it really mattered. He was safer away from . When I returned ho, tennis would take over my life again.
I turned away. "Let’s go. I have so Snuffy ass to kick." Brack’s low laughter ca from behind . A mont later he surprised by taking my hand. I couldn’t ever rember holding a man’s hand while walking. Sothing so small had my eyes tearing up. Brack wasn’t mine to keep. While this lasted, I would enjoy the small things. Thinking about the night to coI would also enjoy the big things. Brack’s cock inside of was one of them.
Snuffy waited. I walked over and we went back to him beating up and doing everything I could to stay out of his grasp.
"Tomorrow you’ll work with again," Brack huffed as we ran back to the hut.
"It’s the work with you tonight that I’m looking forward to."
"I’ll give you so work after you call your father."
I’d noticed Brack take a call and walk out of the hangar earlier. "Daddy checking up on again?"
"More like him giving orders. Order number two was a phone call from you."
I laughed. "And number one."
"Catch your attacker."
I’m sure he threw in a few expletives with his demands. I would speak with my father tonight; now I just needed to cool down. "I want to swim before we go in, you up for it?" I wasn’t breathing as hard as Brack was, but I was tired and my muscles needed a nice soak.
"Sure." Brack put on a surprising burst of speed. "Last one in is a rotten tomato."
"That’s egg, you idiot," I said with my own burst of speed.
"I like eggs, all tomatoes are rotten."
I laughed again and beat him by twenty-five feet. His running had improved, but he still wasn’t a match for . I’d make him prove himself in bed tonight. We were both laughing as we hit the water. The Jeep veered off and headed to the hut. Okay, maybe we wouldn’t wait until tonight.
