She groaned loudly. “I would love to put your face on that damn thing.”
An idea formed, and I smiled.
“Fine, imagine it's me. Hit me.”
Nina stood still for a moment, and then suddenly, she punched the dummy, knocking it backward. I could see the shock on Nina's face as she did this. She stared at the dummy for a moment before she looked back at me.
I stepped into the space of the dummy. “Alright, seems the dummy isn't what you need anymore.”
“What does…” I didn't let her finish as I stepped into her face. I grabbed her wrists. “Now, try to break free.” Nina seemed stunned until she started to turn, trying to break herself free. But I moved with her. I pulled her back, pinning her against me. “Not so easy, is it?”
I expected her to give up, but Nina threw her elbow back, jabbing it between my ribs. I grunted and let go of her. Nina pulled herself free and went to swing her leg back to knock me back like I told her.
I quickly caught her foot, pausing her midair. Nina tried to break her foot free, but I grabbed her thigh, yanking her against me once more. “You're terrible at this,” I said with a smirk. “It's almost like you want me to hold onto you.”
She blushed. “That is not true!”
I leaned closer, feeling her breath hitch. “Then break free, Nina. Put your muscle into it and get yourself free.”
Nina punched me, catching me off guard. She shoved against me, but we fumbled backward. Nina screamed, and I quickly held her against me, holding her head up as we landed hard on the ground. Nina seemed stunned as I held myself above her, hovering just an inch over her body.
She was panting, her chest rising and falling quickly. She had sweat covering her face as she stared at me. I couldn't help but look at our position and how close we were.
Nina swallowed, and suddenly, her legs hooked around my waist, and she turned us to the side. We rolled as she broke herself free. She moved away from me, a smile blooming on her lips.
I felt that instinct to pin her down again kick in. It was a dangerous feeling because I wanted to do much more than just pin her down. I wanted to strip her bare and bury myself deep into her. I wanted to listen to her groan as I had my way with her.
Suddenly, Nina was running at me, and I quickly moved, grabbing her around the waist and yanking her down against the ground again. Nina wrapped her legs around my waist just like she had before, but this time, I didn't let her roll me. I wasn't going to let her break free, and I grabbed her wrist, pinning it to her side. She looked at me, stunned, and tried to buck herself up. I pulled my knees up, spreading her legs wider, making the position tighter as our bodies pressed together, leaving no space.
She panted heavier now, trying to wiggle, but I gave her no room. She grunted. “Damn it, Frank. I can't move.”
“That's the point,” I chuckled, watching her grow tired. “I win.”
Nina panted for air, and I couldn’t help but stare at her lips. They were a light, rosy red, and her eyes seemed to sparkle in the sunlight. They were brown but also had a softness, a comfort like the woods offered me. She looked beautiful.
Chapter 13 - Nina
I stared at Frank. He was sweating and panting as he pinned me down, but what caught my attention more was the smile on his face. It was a small smirk, but it was there. It wasn't forced, and it wasn't fake. Even if this was a workout, he was having fun. I could see the spark of happiness in his eyes.
I felt myself melt at this, knowing this was a step forward for us. All this time we had spent walking on eggshells or yelling at each other had gotten us here. I didn't want this moment to end, and I planned to soak every second of it up.
I looked at his lips, remembering just how powerful they had been and how badly I wanted them against mine. With how roughly Frank had been handling me, I was fucking soaking wet in more than one way. I felt he'd finally stopped treating me like a doll and more like a person.
“I thought the point of this was for me to learn, not for you to win,” I argued back, trying to wiggle my wrist free. I bucked up, but his thighs didn't allow me to move even an inch.
He nodded his head slowly. “That's true, but maybe if you were stronger, you would have won. If you had kept trying, you could have.”
I rolled my eyes. I was exhausted, and I knew we had only been doing this for a few minutes. I had put my energy into this and lost. “This is my first day, while you've probably been doing this since birth. Which, might I add, you must suck if I managed to pin you twice on day one.”
I watched his smirk grow into an evil smile. He dipped his face lower, and I felt a shiver roll down my spine. My breath hitched as he spoke. “Oh, you do think so? Who's the one spread wide right now?”
“Who's the one that pinned me like this?” I asked, looking down at our position. If there weren't clothes between us, this would have been an intimate position. It still was, even with the clothes on. “I mean, honestly, Frank. This is the only position you could think of?”
He raised an eyebrow at me and cocked his head to the side. “This is one of many positions someone could put you in. Get your mind out of the gutter, Nina.”
I swallowed, knowing I should, but how could I? With how close we were pressed together and the way he was looking at me. And he was talking just as dirty to me.
His lips were just hovering over mine. I so badly wanted them. I didn't think I'd wanted something as badly as I wanted Frank. I felt my heart skip a beat as he pressed his chest against mine. “You will get better with time. The more you practice, the better you get.”
