Lose Control

A groan leaves my lips, sweat drips down my temple, fuck, it is so damn warm in here. I push the weights up again and feel Snow's eyes on me from the treadmill. I've been in my home gym for an hour, and I'm close to ending my second set. He keeps running and running, the fucker got stamina. Every time he's around, I forget everything but him, like he's the center of my attention. He even managed to let me forget about the game next week. "Hey baby... have you ever been to a sports club?" I ask breathlessly, he laughs. "Yeah... I was on the track and field team at boarding school, but I quit after the second year." He explains, I grin slightly, so he's and light athlete. I push up the weights again, until I feel how Snow sits down on my lap. I raise my gaze and look at him, "did you furnished all of this alone?" He asks, I shake my head, "nah, Nacho helped me," I whisper quietly, Snow smiles broadly. Gosh, I love this smile, and his laugh, it sounds so sweet. I let the weights rest on the bracket and sit up slowly to wrap my arms around him. He leans his forehead against mine and smiles, I let my fingers slide to his hair and pull his head back. He gasps surprised, "you're distracting me as fuck, Fuego Pequeño." He laughs softly, "oh, am I?" He asks, I nod as I kiss his jaw and his Adam's apple. "But enough of this, before I fuck you right here. You wanted to learn how to fight like me, right?" I ask, he nods.

I stand behind Snow, to guide his movements, while he hits the punching bag. "If you want to fight like me and most people here, you have to forget what you've learned. This isn't about fancy moves or techniques. It's just about survival, about being the one who doesn't get taken down. You need to dominate, you have to fight, most things on the street aren't fair." I explain to him in a serious tone, he laughs quietly. "I don't have this much experience in being the dominant one..." he grins, a laugh escapes my mouth. "You know what I mean, Baby..." I say. The light sweat glistens on his forehead, his muscles tense with each blow. He has a natural talent for boxing, I noticed that the first time I saw him fight. But this here is no normal boxing, this is real fucking life, this here is dirty street fighting. Here you fight to survive, its eat or get eaten. "Good, Baby. Hit hard and fast, don't give your opponent time to hit back. Remember, it's not about perfect technique. It's about using every advantage you can get over your opponent." I say, before I circle him, my eyes studying him, looking for areas where he could improve himself. Snow nods, his intense eyes fixed on the punching bag in front of him. He throws a fierce right hook and follows it up with a powerful left uppercut. The force of his punches makes the punching bag shake. I grin broadly, pride spreading through my chest. "Good hit, Baby. You have the strength, but remember, you're out there fighting for survival. There's no room for mercy," I say. "You have to be ready to do whatever it takes to survive. No hesitation, you understand?", I ask. He nods, and I can see how fast his chest raise and fall.

I grin as Snow stands in front of me, his eyes full of determination. Sweat glistens on his forehead, it's time to teach him a few defense techniques. Because we've already done enough attacking moves today. "It's time for you to learn how to block attacks," I say. "I'm going to throw a few false punches at you, block and counter. Are you ready?" I ask him, Snowflake nods and grins. "I'm ready..." comes over his lips. I circle around him and fake a punch to his face to test his reflexes. He dodges and blocks most of them, but he doesn't manage to block all of them. The punches he can't block, I let graze his cheeks. Slowly, of course, after all, I don't want to hurt him. "Good, Snow! Don't let your damn guard down," I growl in a stern voice. "The streets aren't nice and sweet, and you shouldn't be either." I say, Snow puts some distance between us, and then nods. With a quick movement, I lunge forward and aim for his chest. He reacts quickly and blocks my attack, but I don't stop. His eyes widen as I drive him further back until he stumbles. He sucks in a surprised breath as he falls to the mat. He looks at me with wide eyes as I crouch down next to him. "You have to be careful of everything, be prepared, Snow. As I said, never let your guard down. Not even when you think it's safe." I whisper in a low voice. "Never underestimate your opponent. Fight back, even if you're on the ground. The fight doesn't end when you can still defend yourself, this is about your life, fight. Fight with everything you have, Baby." I explain to him, placing a hand on his neck. To emphasize my words, I feel his pounding heartbeat under my fingertips. His gaze burns into mine, I can see that he's thinking.
