âMy Lady? You seem a bit⦠upset today.â Alexâs voice was filled with caution as Nika took another swing at him.
âIâm FINE.â Her grinding molars said otherwise though.
She was in the ring with Alex, venting her frustration on him. They were doing pole training todayâan unfortunate fact for Alex as Nika kept aiming directly for his head.
She took another swing, and he blocked while kicking her in the kneecap. His connecting foot caused her to crumple to the floor. The pain did nothing but fuel her temper.
While kneeling on the floor, she shoved one end of the pole into his stomach, knocking the wind out of him in a rush. He retaliated, aiming his pole for her head, a move that had her lifting her pole to block. The power of the two poles connecting traveled up her arms.
Shifting her weight to one knee, she swung her leg out and swept him off his feet. As he landed, she jumped up, shoving the end of the pole toward his face. A split second before the pole connected, he rolled left and bounded up from the floor.
The pair circled each other, searching for an opening. In a split second, Alex swung the pole toward her stomach. She shifted, allowing it to run parallel to her body. While dodging, she brought her weapon down on his arm, feeling satisfaction as the pole connected.
Unfazed, Alex swung his arm toward her, connecting the horizontal pole to her midsection. She felt the air push out of her, and she slid to the floor.
With the pole at her throat, he asked, âDo you yield?â
âYes,â she gasped, coughing as the air fought to return to her body.
A resounding âAww,â came from the crowd gathered to watch the sparring.
âAll right, all right, showâs over.â He reached down to help her up, the crowd scattering back to their workouts. âWell, Princess, now that whatever is bothering you is out of your system, how âbout you play hooky from history, and letâs go have some fun. I think you need a break from all your classes.â
âI donât know, Alexiâ¦â Nika spied Demyan making his way over to the weights.
The bastard.
She turned back to Alexi. âOn second thought, maybe I do.â
