She nodded and cleared her throat. Her voice was throaty with arousal when she responded, “Yeah, I do. Maybe we can practice more at home.”

Fuck me.

I pulled her hair tighter and fought the urge to suck on her earlobe. She moaned again as I rubbed my erection against her. “Ryker.”

Focus—your students are still in here.

I looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to us before yanking her ponytail one more time and growling in her ear. “I want to fuck you so bad right now. Just slip those shorts over and slide into you from behind.”

I could see her biting her lip as she stifled a whimper.

Fuck, so hot… damn it, concentrate! Hair pull defense.

My voice cracked as I put some distance between us and asked, “What are you supposed to do now?”

Kaiya didn’t answer or move. “Ky?”

“Huh? What?” Her voice was still coated with lust.

I chuckled and pulled her hair again. “What do you do now?”

“Oh, um, this?” She brought her hands up to cover mine and secured them in place.

“Good, and then?”

She ducked under my arm and twisted it, forcing me to bend over as she kicked me in the stomach with a roundhouse.

“Great job, baby,” I praised when she let go. We practiced one more time before I dismissed class.

After everyone left, I asked Kaiya if she wanted to stay and practice sparring. Those text messages were still in the back of my mind, and the thought of her being attacked made me sick to my stomach. I needed to do whatever I could since I wasn’t able to prevent another text or track down whoever was sending them.

I wanted her to be as prepared as possible for any attack, and that meant conditioning her body and developing her muscle memory. Doing combos on the bag helped with that, but sparring was the best way to get comfortable with fighting and defending yourself.

I locked up the gym before meeting back up with Kaiya in the kickboxing room. She had already started putting on her gear when I walked in. “Ready, Warrior?”

“Born ready, baby,” she said, bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet.

I chuckled as I grabbed a helmet from the equipment bin and strapped it on. I stood across from Kaiya on the mat and got in my defensive stance. “I’m going to go a little hard on you because I want you to be ready for anything.”

She brought her gloves up in front of her face. “Let’s do this.”

I smiled—Kaiya loved sparring, and had gotten really good over the past few months. She was becoming more natural and fluid when she fought and executed more combos than in the beginning.

She was a better defensive fighter than offensive, so I advanced toward her and threw a jab, which she easily blocked.

That’s my girl.

She countered with a ridge hand, one of her favorite moves, but I knocked her hand away. She followed up with a roundhouse to my thigh. “Good leg check, babe.”

We exchanged several hits and kicks before I decided to up the ante. Grabbing Kaiya by the arms, I backed her into the padded wall and pinned her against it.

She tried to wriggle out of my grasp, forgetting her basic defense maneuvers she should’ve been using, like knees and elbows. Most people tended to forget their training when put in a high stress situation like the one I was subjecting Kaiya to. Mix that with adrenaline, and panic resulted. That was why it was so important to train your body to automatically react. And the only way to do that was to practice those specific scenarios.

Kaiya was breathing heavily, and her tits quickly rose and fell against my chest. Feeling her sweaty skin and body on mine combined with our sexual tension leftover from class made my cock harden.

Adrenaline rushed through my veins from sparring, making my heart rate increase. I forgot about the exercise. All I could think about was being inside Kaiya and filling her with my cock. I ripped my gloves and helmet off before trailing my hands down her arms to her hips. Leaning into her, I gruffly spoke, “I know I should be concentrating on training you, but feeling you against me like this makes me fucking crazy, baby.”

I pressed my dick against her and was rewarded with a moan from that sexy mouth.
