Possessive meets Fierce

Chapter 30: Focus

-Asher's POV

"So care to tell me how your evening went?" Parker ask me while we lounge around in our room. I smile thinking about last night. Eva and I ended up hanging out for most of the night. We talked about the most random of things. I can honestly say I have not felt that relaxed in years just talking with someone. "Wow that good, huh?"

I look up to see Parker with a knowing smile plastered on his face. I roll my eyes but don't attempt to correct him. "I asked Eva out." 

"Haha, good for you man... Took you long enough." I throw my pillow at him which he easily catches. 

"So where is Brody and Marcus at today?" I ask leaning up on my elbows.

"They have a date with Brody's parents so they are out of commission. Don't forget that next week is that fundraiser. Your dad said we have to make an appearance." I nod my head at him. "So want to go see your girl again today?"

"I wouldn't mind but Eva said she has a training session with Drake today so I don't know if I should interrupt." I get up and head to my closet to throw on some basketball shorts and a tank top. 

"Well Cara invited me over so I'm heading over there. You should come over and possibly work out with your girl." I nod at him and text Eva. "What do you think she trains for exactly?" 

Asher: Hey Eva, Parker is coming over to hang out with Cara, mind if I come?

"I don't honestly know." I shake my head trying to not to think too hard about it.

Eva: No problem, just remember I can't stop my workout today.

"Alright Man, lets get going." I nod following Parker out. 

-Eva's POV

"FOCUS EVA" Uncle Drake yells at me as he throws another roundhouse kick at me. We have been at this since 6 this morning. I am covered in sweat and probably a few bruises. Lucas has been here with us as well. We already ran 10 miles this morning. "Where's your head at Eva!" 

I finally snap out of my tiredness and throw him over my shoulder. He chuckles while I hunch over trying to catch my breath. He claps his hands together and tells me to take a few minutes. I can here his and Lucas heading over to the wall. I grab a water bottle and spray myself with it trying to cool down. 

"Eva?" I turn my head hearing Asher's voice coming from the entry way. I can hear his footsteps coming into the rink. "Jesus Eva, are you okay?" 

"Just winded but I am fine." I stand up straight and roll my shoulder blades. "I told you I couldn't get out of this-"

"I know, I was wondering if I could join?" He ask cutting me off. 

"If your asking for a death wish... sure." 

"Eva, breaks over." Uncle Drake says getting into the rink. "Asher, are you here to train as well?" 

"Yes sir, if you are okay with it." Uncle Drake smacks him on the shoulder. 

"It's fine but Lucas is about to work daggers with Eva so we will need to sit out the rink." 

"Daggers?" Asher's voice holds concern which I just sigh at it. 

"Asher we do it daily... No reason to be worried." I say turning towards his direction. 

"Pfft, I wasn't worried." I give him the most unconvinced look I can muster. 

"Let's go lover boy." I can hear there feet retreating out of the rink. 

-Asher's POV

I had to stand there watching Lucas walk back into the rink with two sharp daggers in his hand. Eva looked sexy as fuck covered in sweat wearing nothing but black skin tight shorts and a black tanktop. God, how bad I wanted those long legs wrapped around me. I shake my head watching Lucas whisper something in her ear. I clench my fist at my sides to resist the urge to run into the rink and attack that prick. 

"Calm down boy, she is more trained than anyone in this room." Drake whispers leaning closer to my ear. 

I watch as they get into a fight stance and begin. Lucas lunges at her with the dagger and I automatically stiffen. She dodges it just fine. She kicks Lucas legs out from below him. He lands on his back. She takes advantage of this and straddles him putting the dagger to his throat. I stand there watch an amazement. How can she do all of this when she can't see?

"Drake, how is she able to do this?"

"I have trained her since she was a little girl. She can feel the shift in the air around her to know where her attacks are coming from and where her opponent will be." 

"Why does she need to train?" I ask to intrigued to stop myself. 

"That my boy is a story not meant for me to tell." He clamps his hand down on my shoulder. I nod my head. 

"So are you going to the ball next week?" He ask while still watching the pair in front of us.

"Yes sir, my father says I need to go." He nods his head but starts to walk back into the rink. 

"Eva, FOCUS!" She grunts and throws Lucas over her shoulder. He lands with a large thud which makes me smirk. She points the dagger towards where her uncle is standing. She takes a deep breath and lowers the dagger. 

I watch as Drake jogs into the rink and whispers something into Eva's ear. She stiffens and looks directly at me. I feel like she can see me but I know it's not possible. She grunts and turns quickly around throwing the dagger at the wall. I watch as the dagger lands in the punching bag. Drake and Eva exchange a glance before he clamps her shoulder blade. I stand there feeling beyond confused on what is going on. 

"Asher, your up!" Drake hollers as he walks to the corner of the rink. I walk into the rink watching as Luca also walks over to where Drake is standing. I raise an eye brow which Drake just grins at. "Asher, you will be sparing with Eva." 

Shit! I turn and look at Eva who is standing there clenching her fist. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath before reopening them. She lowers her body into a fighting stance and all I can do is stare into those deep blue eyes. 

"Eva, I don't-" 

"Asher, you won't hurt me... I promise." She gives me a small smile however I can see the worry in her face. 

I roll my shoulders and get into the same stance as her. I lunge at her however she dodges it. I feel her do a roundhouse kick which lands on my ribs. Fuck that hurt. I groan however stand up and regain my stance. She waits for me to attack again. I decide to surprise her and do a swipe on floor kicking her legs out from underneath her. She lands on her back however before I can pin her she rolls backwards and gets back on her feet. Damn... she's good. 

"Eva, FOCUS! He almost had you!" Drake yells from the corner. 

She gets enraged and punches me quickly in the ribs causing me to bend over and she takes advantage jumping on my back trying to put me in a neck lock. I take the chance to throw her over my shoulder onto the mat. I quickly pin her to the mat while she struggles to get out of it. Drake walks back over to us. 

"Don't hold back for anyone Eva..." He then walks out of the rink with Lucas following behind him. I watch him in confusion. Is he saying Eva let me win?

I look back down at the beauty below me. She has her eyes closed and is taking deep breaths in and out. I release her wrists and she rubs them gently keeping her eyes still closed. I then get off of her and sit down beside her. 

"Remind me not to piss you off." I mumble. 

She giggles fill my ears as she sits up. "Don't worry Asher... You haven't given me any reason to use my skills against you." She smirks at me. 

I lean towards her ear and whisper "I would love to see you use your skills against me."
