I inhaled.
“Good… deep breath out.”
I exhaled.
He coached me through a few more breaths, and by the time he was done, I had more of a grip on myself.
However, I was still hard as stone when he told me to stand up.
I hesitated, and he frowned again and cocked his head to the side.
“Get up, Finn,” he repeated, and I nodded, biting my lower lip.
Maybe he wouldn’t notice?
With shaking arms, I pushed myself back onto my knees and stood up.
My cock was tenting the shit out of my shorts, and I peeked up at him through my lashes, hating how much my cheeks were burning.
Hedefinitelynoticed.
I watched, completely mortified, as his eyes dropped down to theveryobvious boner I was currently sporting like it was the newest fashion trend.
“Uhm…” I murmured, feeling like I needed to say something to explain myself.
His eyes flit back up to meet mine, and he cocked his head to the side, raising an eyebrow.
“I just… uhm. I haven’t…you know, in a few days…” I muttered. It sounded like a weak excuse, even to my own ears.
“I didn’t ask,” Riddick replied, and I frowned.
“I know—I just?—”
“Are you going to be able to continue? Or do we need to stop?” he asked, and for some reason, a flicker of anger licked the inside of my chest.
“I don’t need to stop,” I snapped. His expression didn’t change, but somehow, his energy did. I couldn’t put my finger on what changed, but the tension between us turned from confrontational to playful.
He stepped closer to me as if taking my tone as a challenge, and my traitorous dick throbbed again.
“Are you sure, Finn? If you can’t handleit, there’s no shame in admitting it. Not everyone is cut out for this.”
“Iam,” I snarled. If he thought a little embarrassment was going to keep me from training for Leviathans, he didn’t know meat all.
So what if I had a boner? I would do his stupid yoga class hard. What did I care?
“You’re sweating,” he pointed out, and again, he dragged his gaze down my naked chest. I could literallyfeelit when he settled on the tent in my shorts.
“It’s hot.”
A smirk.
Riddick smirked!
“It sure is.”
What didthatmean!? Was he flirting with me?
“Now, step back into a lunge. Don’t forget to focus on your breath. Inhale, and raise your arms. Reach for the sun like you want to pluck it out of the sky…”
