Dangerous Heart (Completed)

Training Demo

Hawk's POV

I thought most of the night, after taking Amber to the bedroom. I sat up looking out at the night sky. She changed in the bathroom cuddling into her bed. I watched her sleep. Dex needed to be put in his place, I didn't really want to kill him. I mean I would if he kept looking at Amber that way.

I watched Amber sleep, she had removed her make up and let her hair down. I still thought she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I settled down on my bed wondering if I should do as she suggested.

I woke in the middle of the night to hear her heart hammering fast in her chest, I could hear her whimper as she threw her head side to side. I got up walking to the chair, I slipped my hand into the one she always reached out with. I used my thumb to rub circles on the top of her hand. My other hand wiped away her tears. Her whimpers slowly turned to soft breathing, while her heart returned to it's normal pace. I made the decision then, I would try in the morning. Give Dex his chance. If Amber could have me sitting near her wiping away her tears, I could see about putting a young pup in his place for her.

I woke up in the chair the next morning to the bathroom door closing. I stood stretched and looked around the room. I threw on a tank, just as Amber came out of the bathroom.

"I think I am going to use Dex as a demo for you today." I looked to see she was in her tank and pj bottoms.

Her eyes got wide, "are you sure?" She got closer.

"I am," I smirked at her. "I am going to chat with Mato while you get ready." I kissed the top of her head and padded out of the room to go down stairs.

I found Mato, in his office going over the list of the new mates. "Are you holding training today?" I asked from the open door way.

Mato sat back, he eyed me a moment. "I am."

"Amber, needs a little help. I am wondering if we can join so I can demo how it works?" I knew he knew what I was getting at. I could see his eyes twinkle with the thought.

"I will make the arrangements." He tipped his head toward me.

"Thank you," I turned and headed back upstairs. I knocked on the door.

"Its safe," I heard her say. She had leggings on, and a tank top on. I eyed the clothes. It gave my nether regions the tingles. It hugged her curves showing off all the bits I had not seen.

"I am not sure I want you to leave the room like that," My voice a little hoarse from looking.

"Why?" her startled look.

"I can see things I have not seen on you, that I kinda don't want to share." I said with more authority.

She looked down, then at the mirror in the closet. She came back out, a blush running across her face. "I will put a bigger shirt on." Amber went back into the closet, coming out shortly later with a long t-shirt that went to mid thigh on her.

"Much better," I grinned and grabbing her hand. "let us go back down to breakfast."

********

After breakfast, I sat with Amber on the porch swing, we watched everyone do their warm up and run.

"Come on Ma Cháñte, let's head down there." I stood, taking her hand. We walked down the steps.

Mato and the Fab 4 were having a conversation. The conversation stopped when we got closer. Mato stepped forward, "Amber, Hawk. Do you guys need anything?"

"Actually," I started, "I wanted to give Amber a demo of the moves she is learning so she can see how their are applied." I shrugged.

"I see," Mato placed a hand to his chin, in thought. "We were not planning to spar today as everyone is a bit tired from last night. But.."

"I will," Dex butted in with a massive smile in place.

"Do you mind?" I looked at Mato.

"Of course not." Mato looked at Amber and then came back to me. "Attention!" Mato announced. "We will be having a demo so please come stand around and watch." He looked at me with knowing. "Amber, come with me to the edge." He waved his hand a distance away.

I watched her, expression go from surprised to worried. I gave her a wink, then turned to look at Dex. He had taken his shirt off in an attempt to show off his muscles. I mentally shook my head. This kid was in for a rude awakening. "Amber, as I mentioned in our sessions stance is important just like reading your opponent. We know some fight with strength but you can still win with precision blows to areas that matter." I took my stance. Letting Dex know I was ready.

Dex charged me, trying to land a massive blow to my face, I stepped back and slammed my leg into his middle. He folded down a moment as he caught his breath. "Using your opponents momentum is also very helpful. " I gave Amber a wink.

Dex stood, rubbing his middle, slightly more wary this go round he made a few testing jabs. I blocked them all. While he was open I placed an upper cut to his chin had him sail up in the air and land with a thud. "Make sure you can find an opening to any part of the jaw that can cause a knock out or that can tip their balance."

Dex stood again, this time eyeing me, he came back toward me, swinging his right arm I grabbed it flipping him and landing with my legs around that arm. Pinning him to the ground I seen him tap out. "Flipping can be done with their own movement as well, holds like that one can also be useful if you need to question them." I walked to Amber to see, her beaming.

"I knew you could do it," she grabbed me in a hug as she whispered those words.

I hugged her back. "Hey man," I heard Dex say near us.

I looked to him. You could see he had new found respect in his eyes. I raised a brow at him.

"Your good," He announced then turned to walked away.

Amber looked up at me, her green eyes sparkling, "Can we practice more now?"

"Here?" I asked looking at all the people.

"Sure," Amber stepped back getting into her stance.
