Brooke

Brooke finished the training session feeling like a champion. She’d worked both arms until they were warm, then sparred with every student in the place.

By the end of the night they were all laughing their heads off. Keisha had decided to “announce” the fights once her turn was up. The kid’s commentary was spot on.

At last Brooke threw Hal and tapped him out and there was no one in line behind him.

Everyone broke out into cheers and she gave a mock bow.

“Speech, speech, speech,” Keisha yelled.

Conan winked at Brooke.

“Okay, okay,” she laughed. “Thank you all for coming back to help me. I know I had to close this place without a lot of notice and I really appreciate that you came back when I needed you. Your loyalty and your friendship mean everything to me. That’s why I’m doing this.”

There were some proud murmurs in the crowd.

“Yeah, yeah,” Brooke said. “I know I’m being cheesy, and I’m not exactly good at it.”

“You rock,” Keisha yelled.

“Anyway, thank you,” Brooke concluded. “Now go get some dinner. There’s a table covered in pizzas waiting for you down the street at Cheese So Fine - on me.”

The teenagers in the crowd scrambled for the locker room with crows of delight.

“Thanks, Sarge,” Hal called to her.

“My pleasure,” she told him.

Brooke took her time stretching and removing her gloves. Oddly, even after the tough workout, she felt ready to take on ten more opponents.

“Are you stalling?” Conan asked, joining her in the ring. His eyes were doing that twinkling thing that always sent her pulse into the stratosphere.

It hit her that they hadn’t been alone together since that night - the night when they’d laid down on the mats in this very space and he’d sent her to the moon with pleasure.

“What are you thinking about?” Conan asked.

“Nothing,” she said too quickly.

“Nothing?” He approached her slowly, like a lion to a deer.

“N-nothing,” she repeated stupidly, unable to use her brain as her body took over. The rhythm of her heartbeat moved in time to his footsteps.

“I know what I’m thinking about,” he said.

Her eyes were locked on his lips, the memory of them pressed to hers, to her breasts…

He stopped when only a few sizzling inches were left between them.

“I’m thinking about the last time we were alone here,” he echoed her thoughts.

She gaped up at him wordlessly.

He smiled gently and lifted his hand to slide a tendril of her hair behind her ear.

“Here’s what I’m thinking,” he said. “Let’s focus on the tournament for now.”

She nearly whined with frustration.

“But,” he said. “When it’s done, let’s pick back up where we left off that night. Does that sound good?”

“Good,” she echoed uselessly.

“Good,” he said, smiling down at her as if he were amused by her reaction to him.

Damned sexy alien.

“Are you hungry?” he asked her.

The words banged around in her head for a minute before they arranged themselves properly.

“Not really,” she said. “I guess I’m still too worked up from the sparring.”

“Awesome,” he said. “I was hoping you might teach me another throw.
