I wholly enjoy watching Amelie’s jaw drop in shock when she walks into the gym and sees that I’m the only one waiting for her on the workout mats.

This is going to be a lot of fun.

“What the hell are you doing here?”

“You’re late.” I smirk at her, ignoring her question.

“By like, two minutes. I had to go to the toilet and get changed for class.” Wrong. She’s actually four and half minutes late, but who’s counting?

“That’s what your break times are for, Miss Rossi,” I tease with a straight face. She frowns at me, crosses her arms and gets that stubborn, defiant glint in her eyes that turns me on something chronic.

“Why are you acting like a teacher busting my ass? Where’s Jasper?”

“Otherwise indisposed, so you have a sub today.”

“Who?” she asks, glancing around wildly like some dude’s gonna jump out and surprise attack her ass…hmm, that idea hasmerits. Maybe then she’d take this seriously. Then again, with everything she’s been through, I’d better not.

I wait until her eyes land back on me and give her a bemused sort of smile.

“Surprise,” I say lightly.

She shakes her head. “No. No way. You’re not well enough.”

“I think we’ve proved that I am. Now, enough excuses Miss Rossi. Start warming up. Run laps.”

She shoots me a death glare, which just makes me chuckle, and then she sets off running. I don’t bother joining her. If she’s so concerned for my health and welfare, she won’t mind me sitting the boring bits out. Besides, the view of her ass from where I’m standing is exquisite as she moves.

Eventually, I call time and she comes to a stop beside me. She’s much fitter than she was when she first arrived here, but I know she still hates running. Especially when she’s not got someone alongside her. She glowers at me as she takes a long drink from her water bottle.

“Warmed up?” I ask.

“Fuck you.”

I chuckle. “Fantastic, let’s begin. Show me what Jasper’s been teaching you.”

She tosses the bottle onto the mat, adjusts her stance and immediately moves into a flurry of fast jabs and punches. She catches me by surprise so she’s able to land a few good hits before I get my guard up. I bite back a grin.

“When did you get so fast?” I ask. She grunts at me, doesn’t reply, but increases her speed. She’s not just fast, she’s precise with her movements, virtually faultless with her stance and footwork. Both Jasper and Frost have been training her well. Way better than we ever did.

She switches to kicks while I’m distracted, and even though she’s breathing hard, she’s absolutely determined to show mewhat she’s made of. She doesn’t slow or back down. And it’s sexy as hell.

“Alright, Rocky,” I tease. “Let me have a breather before you do some damage.” I’m joking but as soon as the words leave my lips, she stops and drops her arms down by her sides, guilt etched on her face.

I need to think fast to distract her.

Diving, I tackle her to the floor and cage my arms around her to break her fall, even as we land on the soft mats.

“Got you!” I grin at her, shifting so I’m pinning her down. “Now, get out of this.”

She struggles for a moment, lifting her hips in an attempt to buck me off, but all it does is rub her pussy against my hard length. My cock jerks in response.

“You get off on this, don’t you?” she demands, eyes flashing dangerously.

“Having you helpless and struggling beneath me? Absolutely. But you know what I love even more?”

She shakes her head at me and I continue. “How much you want it. I see you breathing hard.”
