CHAPTER TEN

He was waiting on one of the mats, talking to another guy who was just as big as he was. Parker had changed into a black T-shirt that had to have some spandex in it, the way it clung to him—not that I was complaining. He’d put on workout shorts, too, but they weren’t tight like the shirt was. Dammit.

Parker caught sight of me and waved me over. His gaze ran from my head down to my bare toes still adorned in A Good Man-darin is Hard to Find, and I watched his Adam’s apple move as he swallowed. The other guy was talking and I saw Parker’s lips moved as he replied.

“Hey,” I said once I was close enough. It felt strange to be with Parker in this setting, but he slid his hand around to the small of my back like it was no big deal.

“Sage, this is Mac,” he said. “He’s my sparring partner.”

“Nice to meet you, Sage,” Mac said with a smile as he shook my hand. He had an accent I couldn’t place, with brown hair and gray eyes.

“Same here,” I said, feeling a little intimidated with these two huge guys flanking me.

“I’m going to show Sage a few self-defense moves,” Parker explained.

“A little Krav Maga for the lady?” Mac asked.

“Hey, if you’re going to teach self-defense, might as well do it right,” Parker said with a shrug.

“What’s Krav Maga?” I asked.

“It’s a form of self-defense created by the Israeli Defense Force,” Parker explained. “Its premise is not only defense, but counterattack to disarm and disable your opponent and come out the survivor of any physical confrontation.”

“It looks like she could’ve used a lesson a few days ago,” Mac said, eyeing the bruises and scrapes on my legs before his gaze landed on my stitched shoulder.

“Tell me about it,” Parker replied grimly.

“You want to show her a demo?” Mac asked.

“Sure.” Parker motioned for me to stand aside so I moved off the mat to lean against the wall.

Mac got behind Parker and wrapped an arm around his neck like he was putting him in a choke hold. Parker moved so fast I couldn’t even track what he’d done, but he was out of the choke hold and Mac was down on the ground.

Parker held out a hand and helped Mac up. They faced off, then Mac attacked Parker. I sucked in a breath at the vicious jab, but Parker sidestepped it, then moved in close. They both moved fast, with their arms and fists and feet and every part of their bodies it seemed. I watched in wide-eyed amazement. I’d never realized Parker could do … all the stuff he was doing.

They finally hit a point where Mac tapped Parker’s leg. They were on the floor and Parker was doing something to his arm. When they stood up, they were both breathing hard.

“Nice,” Mac said with a grin. “I let you win, you know. Didn’t want to make you look bad in front of your lady.
