Chapter 18

Cal had spent the last two days back in his townhouse in London, trying to keep his hands off Marinda as he had put her through a series of training routines to develop her fighting skills. He had figured it would be best to start with teaching her the basics of hand to hand combat, something that would hone her reflexes, build her confidence, and also sharpen her mind.

It was working, and she seemed less troubled now, and definitely more comfortable around him and in her own skin, but it was also hell.

Seeing Marinda in a form-fitting amethyst racerback tank and black leggings was not only a challenge to his control, but also his libido.

It was hard to keep his mind on training her and off all the wicked things he wanted to do with her.

At first, he had figured he was alone in his struggle, and was going to come off as some heinous pervert again when he finally snapped and lost control.

And then Marinda had ended up hurling herself at him after one particularly good sparring match where she had countered him well and even landed some blows he hadn’t seen coming.

She had kissed the breath from him in the middle of the black mats, sending his body into a tailspin that had taken him at least twenty minutes and a cold shower to recover from.

He had wanted to share that shower with her, but one look into her eyes and at the rose staining her cheeks had told him that she wasn’t ready for that step.

Not yet anyway.

Since then, she had kissed him two more times, pushing him right to the edge of his control. The last time, he had been the one to break the kiss, because if it had gone on any longer, he would have had her against the training room wall and naked in a flash.

“Cal?” She emerged from the bedroom she had picked as hers, the one on the same floor as the living room and kitchen.

This time, he had changed the sheets before she could use it, making sure she didn’t end up smelling like Keras, sleeping where his brother had probably been naked.

“Sure you don’t want my room? It’s bigger, and more private.” And it came with a bonus—him.

She stopped smoothing down the hem of her dark red jumper and looked at him. “No. Really. I don’t want to be a bother.”

“No bother.” He gave her a slow, leisurely once over, taking his time about it and not missing the fact she had traded her tight workout clothing for loose jeans and a baggy jumper.

Here he was, opting for his tightest jeans and T-shirt, trying to get her eyes on him, attempting to stir that desire she kept flashing at him, and she was doing her damnedest to hide all those curves he now knew existed.

And couldn’t stop thinking about.

Her fingers kept smoothing, faster now, and he sensed her nerves. He dragged his eyes away from her to give her a moment.
