FOR THE NEXT HOUR, Gabriel and Natasha had more fun ‘training’ than was most likely allowed. The throws turned out to be a source of particular entertainment.
First, she came up behind him, wrapping her arms around his chest as she pretended to be a man much bigger than herself. Oftentimes, she would either yell or curse to recreate the effect. Once Gabriel was able to stop laughing he would grab her gently by the wrist, flipping her effortlessly over his shoulder and sending her tumbling to the ground.
He never let her fall. Not once did her head ever hit the ground.
When Gabriel was the one getting thrown, he wasn’t so lucky...
“Did you see that?!” she shrieked, completely over the moon with her success. “It totally worked! Gabriel! Did you see?!”
He picked himself up off the ground, grinning all the while. How could he possibly not have seen, when he was the one getting thrown through the air like a rag doll.
“I did.” He cocked his head towards the grassy hill. “Why don’t we take a break for a minute? Let my bones snap back into place.”
“Just one more time?” she pleaded, her cheeks flushed with excitement. “Please, just one more time, and then we can head home. I promise.”
He took one look at her face, her breathless adorable face, then dropped his head back with a moan of defeat. “One more time. Then that’s it. We’re done.”
“Yes!” She clapped her hands together, automatically turning to face the other direction as she braced herself for the attack. “And don’t go easy on me. Really try this time, okay?”
Like I haven’t been trying all the other times?
He took a deep breath and began his wind-up, breaking into a light sprint as he closed the gap between them. The second he wrapped his arms around her he was airborne, flying through the air above her head before smashing full-force into the ground.
“YES!” she cried, throwing her hands up in victory. “I am a CHAMPION!”
He laughed painfully, wrapping his arms around his sides. “You’re a-a mean bully.”
Now it was her turn to laugh. She did so smugly, prancing towards him with a highly superior expression before looking down at him in the dirt. “Someone doesn’t lose well. Did Cromfield never teach you that lesson down in the cave?”
His eyes flashed up for the briefest of moments before he lifted a shaking hand to his chest. A visual tremble shook his body as he tried to push himself up, then fell back to the ground with a gasp. “Freakin’ A,” he panted, trying to catch his breath, “I think I tore something...”
“What?!” She was by his side the next second, running her hands helplessly over his shirt as her face paled in fright. “Are you sure?! Here, just try to take a deep breath.” With shaking hands she reached into her pocket, pulling out her phone. “I’m going to call Peter; he can be here in about fifteen minutes. Just hold on, okay? I’m so
