"And here we are."

"Axe throwing?"

"Well, they have axes, ninja stars, archery, pool, and fussball tables. Plus there's a bar. What?"

"It's just a strange choice is all."

"Would you prefer to go somewhere else?"

"No, I'm just curious how you're going to approach this is all."

"Simple, you're going to help me." After explaining to her what he meant, she still doubted he would have a good time.

"Ok, if you're up to it, I am. First drink is on me." She told him. "Where do you want to start first?"

"Archery." Mina helped him set his stance, told him how far away the target was and like magic, he hit the target. Not a bullseye, but he hit the target.

"You've done this before?"

"Perhaps." As Mina took her stance and loosened the arrow, it was a bullseye. Matt could hear it. "So, how did you do?"

"Oh, I missed." She told him, trying not to hurt his pride. Matt took his second shot and this time he was closer to center.

"This time you were closer to center." When Mina drew, she placed hers next to his. They continued until all 20 of their arrows were used up.

"Somehow, I don't think this is your first time here." He told her.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, the sound from the bullseye is different than when you hit the rest of the target. After your first go, you made sure to hit next to each of my shots."

"Perhaps it's beginners luck?" She said cutely. Matt walked behind her and stooped down a bit so he could whisper in her ear.

"You're holding back. You don't have to do that around me." And nipped her earlobe earning him a gasp. Matt wondered what other noises he could make her do. Next up were the throwing stars.

"Ok, the only other thing I've done is fussball and pool. So I'm going to need your help with the rest." Matt rolled up his sleeves and walked behind her again fitting her back against his front. Sliding his left leg between her thighs and slowly placing it out and forward. Then he repeated the same thing but with their right legs. His hands on her hips skated up her sides until he turned her shoulders.

"Don't let go yet. Let's practice your throwing first." She did as he told her. "Now, let go." She hit the target.

"I hit it." She jumped up and wrapped her arm around his neck and rewarded him for his help. Matt worked with her until she got pretty close to the bullseye but then he started doing little things to distract her on purpose. He loved touching her, loved the way she smelled like late spring. Peaches and ginger, sweet and spicy. Matt could hear and feel her body responding to his like it was his own personal game. By the time they got to play a round of pool, Mina's panties felt soaked and she was rubbing her thighs together to relieve some of the pressure. "So, pool?" She had to clear her throat to make it sound normal.

"Tell me if I'm stripes or solid. Then I'll pick a pocket. You tell me what's around that pocket that's mine and touch my hand to each of them." He liked that Mina had to sit on the edge of the table to reach some of the balls, it laid her body out before him and he could feel her heat coming off of it. "You're purposefully missing."

"No, I'm not. You're too distracting." He hunched over her and adjusted her grip. Matt nibbled on her jawline and she quietly moaned. She was more than aware of his body in relationship to her own as her ass pushed back against his. Mina lost but she didn't care.

"Perhaps the little miss wouldn't mind playing a round or two with me." A strange man said, totally killing the mood. Looming over her, he was way taller than her and a bit taller than Matt. The stranger pushed Matt out of the way and grabbed Mina's arm, placing her on the pool table. When she tried to get down twice he shoved her back up there.

"Hey. Get off." She told him.

"The lady says she's not interested." Matt told him, trying to take the man's hand off Mina, but he wouldn't let go. Matt's blood boiled. What happened next, he didn't expect. Mina kicked the stranger in the balls twice giving her room to get down, then did a crosscut to his Adam's apple and a right hook to his jaw causing him to fall to the floor gasping.

"I said no." Then she kicked him in the balls again. That was the real Mina. Matt looked at her puzzling. "Come on, let's get out of here." Matt didn't reach for her arm so she took his and dragged him out of there. Yes, she was a bit buzzed, but not drunk. The stranger totally killed the mood. After a couple of blocks, she was worried Matt was silent. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, more than ok. That was.... That was...."

"Stupid. I know." She was shaking her right hand out, they would be swollen tomorrow. "I'm sorry."

"What do you have to be sorry about?" He stopped walking and held on so she would stop as well, he could feel her need to just keep walking. "You did nothing wrong. Are you hurt?"

"I'll have bruises on my arms from where he grabbed me and my knuckles are going to be swollen if I don't get some ice on them. Sorry I ruined our good time."

"You did not ruin anything. He did." This time he started walking with her. "And you're not going to get in trouble. He accosted you and you defended yourself. If anything as your lawyer, I would tell you to press charges on him instead." She laughed weakly at that, Matt could tell some of the worry was gone but a lot was still here. "Where did you learn that?"

"Tae Bo. Insomnia is a huge problem so I ordered the box set. When I lived in a house, I didn't worry about waking people up that lived around me." It was a lie and she hated telling it to him. Matt could tell something was off now, her mind was somewhere else as he walked her home. When she kissed him goodnight, there wasn't the same passion there as before. Something had shifted. While she told him she would call him, Matt still worried. He left with the worst case of blue balls he ever had. Luckily, he knew a good cure for that. Matt went home and changed. Finding the man that accosted Mina, punished him, then left him with a note on him in front of the police precinct.
