Fight for me

Chapter Two

I was having that dream again, I was 10 and my little brother and I were walking home from school. He was laughing as he skipped along looking for rocks to add to his collection at home. I laughed along with him, wondering how a 6 year old could be so fascinated by a rock. Suddenly we were stopped my a black SUV roaring around the corner, it pulled up along the sidewalk next to us and three men in Black suits hopped out and approached us. They held out there hand to my little brother "come" they all said in unison. I looked over to my little brother and his laughter was gone, in its place a grim, expressionless face. He started lifting his hand to take there's. "No! His not going anywhere with use!" I spat out and tried to grab my little brother but something stopped me. I couldn't move "Nikolai!" I called out but he didn't respond. He didn't even look at me. I tried with all my strength to break free from the invisible hold surrounding me, but it was no use. "Nikolai!!" I called out again as I watched him walked away with these strangers. There was nothing I could do. The sound of screeching tyres woke me, I was covered in sweat and my heart was racing. I looked over at the clock on my bedside table and noticed it was 3am. Unable to fall back asleep I got up and hopped in the shower. I pressed my head against the glass and let the wave of much to hot water scold my body. This same dream made an appearance  almost every night making it impossible for me to get a good night's sleep. Reluctantly I hopped out of the shower and threw on a pair of grey running sweats and a black hoodie. I jogged down the flight of stairs and opened the double doors leading to the side walk. I was immediately hit with a cool breeze and the smell of pine cones from the trees that were perfectly placed along my street. I turned to my left and started running, trying to clear my head. I started thinking of the day ahead and what needed to be done. Firstly I had an early morning boxing class, mostly filled with middle aged woman who shamelessly flirted there way through the class while still wearing their wedding rings. Then I had to pack up some equipment and head over to the school to teach an introduction to self defence class, I rolled my eyes at that. I only agreed to do it as a favour to one of my long term clients who's brother was the principal there. I then had my regularly scheduled classes. The same routine really, wake up from my nightmare, teach martial arts, have dinner alone and repeat. I was content being alone, I didn't need to bring some poor innocent woman into my troubled life, it wasn't as if I didn't get any offers though, for some reason woman threw themselves at me without even knowing me. I occasionally took up the offers of meaningless one night stands but still never seamed fully sated at that. I was always gone before they woke up and refused to bring anyone back to my own bed. My bed just held the lingering images of my recurring nightmares.  Eh, the nightmare, I pushed myself harder  trying to wipe my mind of those thoughts. Just when I thought I would pass out from exhaustion I rounded the corner of my street and walked inside the doors. To my right were the double doors to my gym, I was proud of what I had accomplished here while only living in Australia for a short amount of time. My parents were Russian and we relocated to America when I was only a boy. But things from my past had caught up with me and I was forced to relocate. I've been here for almost two years and adapted well to my surroundings, even my accent had adapted to that of an Australians.  I dragged my now sore body back up the stair case and jumped in for another quick shower. I threw on a black T-shirt and my grey basketball shorts and joggers, I scoffed down some cereal and made my way down to open up the gym. Time to start the day.. Karen was exceptionally shameless with her flirting this morning, she laughed and told her friend that she had started her morning breakfast mimosas early. I rolled my eyes and kept going with the class. Once that was finally over I threw the equipment I had packed up earlier into the back of my truck and drove the 5 minuets to school. I opened up the email the principal had sent me letting me know were I needed to go and made my way threw the buildings and out onto an open football field, i noticed on the farthest side of the field was a little steel shed, great they put me in the back garden shed. I made my way across the field and heard a bell ring, I picked up my pace. I opened the doors to the shed and regretted signing up to do this. With a sigh i walked in and placed a sign up sheet on the little table by the door. I turned and walked past the room divider. The shed was larger then i originally thought, i started opening windows to let out the musk smell that had settled in the air. 

I had just finished opening the last window when i heard voices entering the room, i looked over to see three boys ruffing each other up and laughing. The stopped when they seen me looking.

"Hey man" one of the boys said while the others gave a brief head nod of acknowledgement. 

They walked further into the room and stood in the corner talking about something that seamed to be amusing to them. Again, i mentally cursed myself. 

Just as i was about to walk over and start unloading some equipment a rush, that could only be described as electrified butterfly's, flew through me. I heard a girl by the door yell out to someone, but i couldn't see who it was. I took a step forward but abruptly stopped when the most beautiful girl i had ever seen walked in. I was mesmerised, she had long wavy hair that fell perfectly around her face, perfectly tanned skin that was wrapped up tight in shorts and a tank top. My eyes travelled down to see the most perfect toned legs. I looked back up  just as she had turned to face me. Our eyes locked and a feeling of unease washed over me, she was seeing me, she was looking into my soul and pulling every secrete i held deep out of me. Her eyes screamed out to me, she was in pain, i seen hurt, and worry and guilt. But also love, compassion and kindness. I noticed her taking a step towards me and i wanted nothing more then to run to her and hold her in my arms.

Suddenly my view of her was blocked, rage washed over me at the boy standing in front of her. I started walking towards him, unsure of what my plan was, all i knew was that i needed to see her again. 

"James!" i heard someone calling out to me. Reality hit me, what was i doing? I cant be acting like this. 

I looked over to see Mark, the schools principle. I let out a deep breath i didn't know i was holding and walked out the door following him. 

"James" He greeted holding a hand out for me to shake "i just wanted to take this opportunity to welcome you, and say a big thank you for agreeing to teach here. My brother holds you in high regards and I've heard nothing but good reviews about you"

"Its my pleasure Mark" i replied. 

"Great, well that being said ill let you get back to it" He said with a smile "Enjoy your day"

"You too" i said as he started walking back across the football field.

I turned to walked back in, but stopped and took a deep. What the hell happened earlier? What the f**k is wrong with me. I couldn't have feelings for a teenager!

I don't! She was just pretty and i haven't been laid in a while. I was just horny, that was it. 

I walked back in, purposely not looking in her direction. I addressed the class and asked them to tell me why they wanted to learn self defence. One by one they spoke, it was the usual reasons i always got, i want to improve my physical strength, i want to be able to fight back when i have to, improve my reflexes, its a good skill to have. I've heard them all before.  Then it was her turn.

I reluctantly looked towards her and noticed her scanning my body. I slowly turned so my body was directly facing her. A small grin formed on my face, she was checking me out.

The boy standing next to her nudged her and she looked up and into my eyes. Those beautiful golden eyes. Her cheeks instantly became red when she realised i had caught her. Her eyes fell to the floor and she rubbed her arm, looking embarrassed as she began to speak..

"Umm, hi, I'm Rose Steele and err, i decided to choose self defence to protect myself from my..." My body tensed, she needs to protect herself, from who Rosa? Every fibre in my being wanted to punch, kill and destroy any one who dared to hurt her. As if realising she said something wrong she quickly corrected herself.

"Umm, to protect myself from predators"  She looked up at me and frowned. I needed to protect her. Ill stop her after class and demand she tell me the truth. Then i will hunt the son of a b***h down and end his life for causing even an ounce of pain in this angels life. 

No! for f***s sake cut it out. She is not yours to protect. She is not your responsibility! I pushed those thoughts out of my mind and continued on with the class. 

When the lesson was almost over i began walking around the room. The kids were practising there punching, one partner had punching mitts on and the other was throwing the punches. Most of the boys were trying to knock their opponent over or hurt there hands through the gloves. Idiots

I was walking towards the back of the class when i spotted her. I stopped for a second to look. Her perfect round ass looked divine wrapped up in denim that tugged and threatened to rip open as she moved in them. 

I started walking over to them and noticed her freeze, she felt me coming. I stood in front of them and she looked up into my eyes, those beautiful golden eyes. All of a sudden her cheeks turned bright red and i noticed her grind her legs together. f**k! She was aroused. I started to smile but instantly stopped myself when i felt my c**k getting hard. 

"Please, don't let me interrupt" I said, gesturing for her to continue her practising

She started punching, her form was actually really good. I noticed her breasts jiggle every time she threw her arm and i lost total control of my body, as if someone was controlling me i felt my arm rise and placed on her shoulder. The feel of her warm skin radiated threw me, i needed more, I needed to touch every inch of her, i needed to hold her and feel her writhe underneath me as i plunged my.. i felt myself getting hard again and tried to regain focus. I slowly ran my hand down her arm and with my other i lifted it up until her arm was straight out in front of her. I took a deep breath and swallowed before saying,

"Make sure your arm is relaxed, but keep it controlled at the moment of impact" I bent her arm back up and threw a punch with it to show her "does that make sense?" i asked 

"Umm, yeah sure" she shrugged, again with the lies, ill have to fix that. A good spanking should do the job.

I let out a small laugh trying to hide my thoughts "Its okay, you'll pick it up" i said while reluctantly letting go of her arm.  

"Oh, and don't worry about hitting your friend in the face" i added, I'm not sure why, maybe i just wanted to see him punched in the face. Real mature James "I'm sure he will be fine and your holding back"

I turned and walked away. 

Finally the bell rang and i was relieved that i could get back to my gym and away from this girl and her damn hold over me. If i was going to be seeing her twice a week i would have to get a grip. 

I walked over to the corner were the kids had thrown there mitts and started loading them into the bag. No way was i going to let this girl get under my skin any more then she already has. 

"Excuse me, sir, i was just wondering..." it was her, i stayed crouched down and looked up at her, the way she said sir effortlessly rolled off her tongue and made my d**k twitch. If it was anyone else i would have corrected her and said to call me James. She continued, her confidence wavering as she went on.

"Um, i was wondering if.." she was awkwardly moving her feet around and fiddling with her hands. 

"i was wondering if i could join one of your classes out side of school hours" she finally said. 

I was shocked at first, then i thought about getting to see her outside of this school. I thought of her in tight little gym clothes as she bounced around my gym. But then i thought back to her introduction. She lied about why she was here and i needed to know the truth. If someone is hurting her, or making her worry for her safety then i needed to know. 

"Tell me again, why did you choose self defence as your elective" i asked.

"Um, to learn how to defend myself" she answered, but it sounded more like a question.

"Against who?" I had to ask.  

Her eyes widened at my question as if she couldn't believed i had asked.  

"Um.. against predators.. and.." she stuttered out. Then with a burst of confidence she finished. 

"And self defence is such a necessary skill for woman to have nowadays and i really liked your class, so can i join? Please?" she spat out, seeming quite pleased with herself. But i still needed the truth from her, no matter what.  

"No" was all i said. 

"What!" she yelled way to loudly "Why?"

"Because Rose, your not telling me the truth. I would love to help you and honestly you have really great potential, but i don't like liars, so when your ready to come clean ill be more then happy to let you join my gym" 

I almost took back everything i said when i seen the look on her face, my chest felt like it was in a vice and i never wanted to see her face look like that ever again, i certainly didn't want to be the one to put it there either.

"Listen Rose, I'm not sure whats going on in your life right now and you don't have to tell me, but i do need some sort of honestly from you and whatever you say will stay between you and me, okay?" 

Her face didn't change. She just nodded and walked away. I hated myself in that moment, i vowed that next time i see her i would tell her she could come to any class she wanted, hell id even give her private lessons if she asked. 

I finished loading up the equipment and carried it back through the school, i threw it into my truck and I drove off towards home. I had another class starting in 15 minuets and i welcomed the distraction.

+++++++++

"Come on Derek! Stop being a p***y and fight back!" I yelled as one of the men in my class was getting his ass kicked. It was my second last class of the night and for some reason i was particularly wound up, letting my anger get the best of me. Derek was pinned under his opponent in a position he damn well knew how to get out of. I looked away and ran a hand threw my hair in frustration as he tapped out.

He got up looking defeated and whispered an apology under his breath. I quickly took my shirt off and lunged at him catching him off guard, i got him to the ground and put him into the same position he had just tapped out of. 

"You know what the f**k to do, now get out of it!" I said way to aggressively. He struggled to get his legs free, and i seen his face going red from the amount of effort he was putting in. I loosened my hold on him just a fraction and he quickly swung his legs out from under me and jumped up cheering. 

"Alright, times up, everyone out" i called out as i walked over to grab a drink of water. I heard one of the men say "watch out, there's something up his ass tonight" he must have been talking to someone from my next class. f*****g prick.

When everyone was in i began the lesson, it was my intermediate self defence class and i was glad that i could end the day with one of my more low key classes. I was in the middle of showing the group the move they would be learning when i heard a loud bang. I instantly shot up and turned to face the noise ready for what ever i had to face, but i was not prepared for what walked through my door. 

My Rosa, was she okay? Has someone hurt her already? i walked straight towards her hoping that nothing had happened to her in the few hours since our class this morning.

"Rosa, What are you doing here?" i asked, noticing my question was laced with concern.

I watched as her eyes drifted down towards my mouth, her thoughts became clear as she started lightly biting her bottom lip. I smiled and slowly licked my lips, giving her a little show. As if realising where her thoughts were headed she started to blink back to reality. 

Her expression changed to what i could only describe as the cutest little look of determination I've ever seen, and i just knew she was going to put up a fight. I had already made up my mind that i would let her join, but i couldn't resist letting her squirm a little. 

"I'm here to join your class, and I'm not going anywhere until you say yes" she said while crossing her arms in front of her chest, she looked so sweet, although I'm sure she thought she looked tough. 

I let out a small laugh and said "is that so? Have you decided to come clean? or are you planning on roughing me up a bit until i say yes?" I couldn't get the amused expression off of my face, she was too damn cute. I even crossed my arms in front of myself to mimic her. She was not impressed and i felt a little bad for making light out of a serious situation. 

"Neither, I'm here to reassure you that my intentions of joining are pure, i would never use what i learn here unless absolutely necessary. Now, are you going to let me join or am i going to have to sit here all night to prove to you how serious i am" 

I wiped the amused expression from my face. She was dead serious, she needed to be here. I knew someone in her life was hurting her, i was sure of it. I needed to know who so i could end them. 

I pointed to the far side wall and told her to sit. She could sit there and watch until the class was over, then i planned to confront her and demand the truth from those beautiful lips. 

I continued on with my class, eagerly awaiting its end. The sweet torture i could put her through to get what i wanted. She would cave, i know she would. I've seen the effect i have on her, this is going to be fun. 

We were nearing the end when i heard a high pitched scream, my eyes flew to Rosa and i sighed with relief that the noise didn't come from her. I looked around and noticed that Kim, one of the woman in my class was on the ground clutching her shoulder, i ran over to her and assessed her arm. 

"It doesn't look like anything too serious Kim" i told her, "Just a pulled muscle, you'll need to rest it for a few days" I gave her a reassuring half smile. 

She rolled her eyes at me and said "I'm good James, lets keep going"

She stood up and tried to roll her shoulders, letting out a small squeaky noise.

"Shes fine everyone" I called out, "Just a pulled muscle. Shes going to go home and rest it" 

She let out a huff and walked off. She was definitely one of the tougher ones in my classes. 

"Alright Sam, looks like your teaming up with me" I said to Kim's partner

He let out a nervous laugh and said "No way man, you'll kick my ass" to which the rest of the class all broke out in laughter. Its true, i definitely would have, but he needed a partner and i was the only one available. 

In the distance i heard someone call out.. "Ill be his partner" I looked over to see Rose. She looked confused, as if she hadn't meant to say that out loud and i wished she hadn't. There was no way in hell i was letting her do this. 

She stood up and walked over to were Sam and i were, looking pretty pleased with herself now. Nope, no way is this happening, shes not ready. She will get hurt, and ill never forgive myself.

"Absolutely not" i said through gritted teeth. 

"Why?" She shot back. "I've been watching, i can totally take this guy" She tried to joke. Everyone in the room started laughing.

"Id like to see you try princess" Sam said with a hint of amusement on his face. 

"No, its not happening, your not ready for this class" I said trying to show her how serious i was. 

"Oh come on James, let the girl try. Ill take it easy on her" Sam said while wiggling his eyebrows at Rose and she had the audacity to giggle at him! 

"Fine!" I said with a huff, half throwing my hands up in defeat  "Everyone off the floor.. Except you two" I said pointing at Sam and Rose.

Everyone started moving, making room for them. I was staring at her, willing her to change her mind but she looked so confident and determined. She started unzipping her hoodie and threw if off to the side. My mouth went dry and i couldn't take my eyes off of her. She had on tight little black shorts that sat just under her belly button and a bright red sports bra that could barely contain her breasts.

"You know the rules, first one down looses" I said. I closed my eyes, stop this, she needs you to help her, not f**k and torment her, i said to myself.

 "You ready little girl" i heard Sam taunt.

"Bring it on" she spat back. For someone so tiny she sure had a lot of confidence. I admired that.

Out of no where Sam came charging towards her, she quickly dodged him but didn't see his left leg aiming towards the back of her knee and she went down. I thought i heard her mumbling something under her breath as she hopped back up. She held out her hands, palm side up, and motioned for him to come on. 

Sam started charging at her again, and again she dodged but this time she stuck her foot out tripping him over. The room seemed to like that as they all began laughing. My face stayed on her, she looked at me with wide eyes and a grin for ear to ear, but that changed the moment she saw my expression. She would have to do better then that if impressing me was her goal. 

 Out of the corner of my eye i seen Sam charging towards her, panic ran through me as i watched him tackle her to the ground. Her eyes were closed and her face instantly paled. As everyone began to cheer i noticed something was not right with her, i began to walk over to them but stopped when her eyes shot open and the colour returned to her face! She was back from whatever dark place her mind had just taken her too, she was here and ready to fight. 

She quickly slid her hips to the left and pulled her right leg up underneath Sam and kicked his thigh, causing him to cry out and and buckle off her. She took the opportunity to roll him onto his stomach, grab his hand and elbow and pinned it to his back. He was struggling but her grip on his arm was to tight, he finally tapped out 

Everyone started cheering for her. Sam struggled to get up but shook her hand none the less. 

I dismissed the class, as they were packing up and walking out i decided to go and talk to Rose. She has definitely earned a spot here.  

She was having a drink of water when i started to speak..

"You..." I started to say before she spun towards me with her water bottle still in her mouth, the sudden movement causing the bottle to leave her lips and water to cascade past her lips, down her chin and settle in her cleavage. I followed the water all the way down

"Oh f**k" I heard her say, but i was mesmerised by her wet hands rubbing the liquid all over her chest. I'm sure she was trying to clean it up but i didn't care. I wanted to stick my head in between her chest and lap up every last drop of water. I noticed her squirming and i stepped back. i***t James, control yourself. 

I walked off and brought her back a hand towel. 

She blushed "thank you" she near whispered, wiping herself. 

Her embarrassment made my smile. What is wrong with me. 

"Your welcome"  i said and she looked up and smiled. 

Deciding to get this conversation back on track i said "Your a quick learner, and I think with practice you could be really great"

The faced was filled with pure joy, it made me smile knowing i was the reason behind it. 

"Does this mean you'll let me join?" She asked me, full of hope. 

Of course i was going to let her join, but i had to try just one more time and ask, "Are you ready to tell me why your here?"

Her faced dropped and she let out a sigh, as if contemplating what to say she opened her mouth, but closed it almost as quickly. She looked defeated.

 "Okay" I quickly spat out "ill let you sign up for intermediate classes, after tonight i think you'll be board in beginners.." she didn't let me finish my sentence before she let out a squeal and jumped into my arms. She wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck. 

"Oh my god! oh my god oh my god, thank you! thank you so much"  She yelled into my ear. 

I felt her n*****s harden and her body stiffen as the realisation of what she had done just hit her. Her chest was still wet from the water and her entire body was pressed firmly against my bare chest. My  c**k hardened when i felt the sudden heat from her p***y hit my stomach. She moved her hand to cup the back of my neck and slowly she started to slide her body down mine until her feet were on the floor and her eyes were staring right into mine. 

I was f****d. 

I had to have her.
