Chapter Eight

“You have to bring the leg up higher.” Prim’s order was sharp and slightly irritated.

“I’m trying,” Embry growled, annoyed and sore. “Shit! Do you know how hard it is to bring your leg up when it’s screaming at you to stop moving all together?”

“I do actually, which is why I’m telling you to do it, anyway. Move. Your. Ass.”

“My need to swear at you is getting stronger by the minute.”

“Good, use that frustration to hit the damn pad.”

“Fuck you.”

“Use the frustration.”

“I’m done.” Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Embry took a step back.

“You’re not done. We’ve only been at it twenty minutes.”

“In this session, yeah, but what about the round this morning before work? Or the one last night? I’m tired.”

“You agreed to this, Em. You told them you would learn the basics, learn how to throw a damn punch.”

“I can throw a punch. I just spent the last twenty minutes showing you exactly that.”

“You only have a week left before you have the meetup with your father. We can’t dick around. You need all the advantages you can get in that small amount of time.”

“I’ll have no advantage if I can’t move.”

“Continuing to move will help you with the muscle pain.”

“So, torturing myself further will make the torture less painful. Sounds like something they came up with to torture people.”

“Fuck, I hope your smart-ass mouth gets you some attention soon because you’re sure as hell asking for it.”

“I’m not asking for anything other than to be given a breather.”

“I gave you breaks on the second day when you were the sorest. We can’t afford any more breaks.”

“Well, you’re going to have to learn to compromise.”

“I will not compromise on this.” Prim threw the pads down, frustration clear in every part of her body as she crouched next to her friend. “You’re asking me to take it easy on you, and I learned a long time ago, going easy on someone is never a good idea. So, I’ll tell you what, you can sit there for as long as you want, but for every minute you sit there, I’m tacking more time on to your workout.”

“That’s not fair.”

“And neither is wasting my time. When you’re ready to go again, I’ll be in the back.”

Embry looked at Prim’s retreating back, happy she was too tired to move, or she’d be tempted to throw something at her head. Mumbling to herself, she pounded the side of her gloved fist against the mat covered floor. “All I wanted was a fucking break. Is that so goddamned hard to understand?”

“For her, it is.”

“Shit, Nala, you scared the hell out of me.” Embry looked at the gorgeous woman in front of her, she was a few years younger than herself with long blonde hair tied up into a messy bun at the top of her head. “If you’re the session after me, I’m sorry in advance for the mood I’ve put her in.”

“No, I was actually looking for Parker, but I’ve come up empty-handed again.
