even bothered to wear anything underneath. Her nipples stood at attention. When she ran her hand against her bare belly she let out a little giggle.
    Any other man in this gym would be be all over this girl, but with my mind on Bria I wanted nothing to do with her…
    “That’s not me, sweetie,” I said. “I have to train my ass off to win my next fight. I can’t lose my focus.”
    I dismissed her with a polite wave and turned to find a sparring partner.
    Instead of taking the hint she decided to push her luck. She sidled up to me and whispered in my ear, “It doesn’t have to take long... Let’s go to your office.”
    I couldn’t hold my tongue any longer. I had to speak through clenched teeth to keep the volume down. “If you think I’m going to fuck you, you’re badly mistaken.”
    Her eyes widened.
    “I’m not in the mood today… Now leave me the fuck alone so I can train.”
    She stepped back, a mixture of disbelief and rage painted her face.
    I’m not sure why I unloaded on her like that, but it felt good. Fuck her anyway for thinking she’s going get at any piece of my hard earned pie just because she has a tight little body and knows how to use it.
    “Fuck you, asshole!” she screamed, before turning on her heel and marching out the front door.
    I looked over my shoulder just in time to catch a chorus of high pitched “oooohhhs” from the other fighters.
    “Somebody’s an asshole,” one joked.
    Another one yelled, “Now Luke, you’re the one who tells us to leave our personal problems at the door.”
    They all exploded in laughter when I gave them my ‘cat-that-ate-the-canary’ grin.
    “Sorry boys,” I said. “It’s all business now.”
    After a few more hoots and hollers the room calmed and I was able to settle into my routine.

    I t sounded like a giant was banging on my front door. I had to practically pry my eyes open to see the clock. 9:30 AM. Whoops. I guess I overslept.
    Bang! Bang! Bang!
    “Hang on, I’m coming,” I yelled.
    Bang! Bang! Bang! It was more frantic this time.
    “I said I’ll be there in a second!”
    As soon as I turned the lock my door flew open and Kaitlyn wrapped me up in a giant hug.
    “Oh my God, Bria, what the hell!?”
    “I… What?” I said, as I tried to shake the disorienting feeling of being awakened from a dead sleep.
    Kaitlyn threw her arms out in exasperation.
    “Uh, hello? You were supposed to text me when you got home!”
    “Oh, sorry,” I said. “I had a really rough…”
    “And then I called your work and they said you never came in this morning. I thought you were dead!” She was practically shrieking at this point.
    “Okay, I’m sorry, but something did happen.” She quieted when she saw the look on my face.
    “What? What happened?” she asked, now in a more reserved whisper.
    “Someone attacked me when I was walking home. He tried to rape me…”
    “Oh my God, are you okay? Oh no, oh no, oh no, I knew I shouldn’t have left you alone. I’m the worst friend in the world!” Tears were already streaming down her face.
    “It’s okay Kaitlyn, I’m fine. Someone saved me.” I placed my hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eye so she would know I was okay.
    “It was a really close call but this guy, he came out of nowhere, and rescued me. I guess I was just so freaked out by the whole thing I passed out.” All of my senses were now beginning to return.
    “Did you call the police?!?”
    “I called them… But there isn’t much they can do. He’s a big white guy in an old Buick… And I didn’t get a look at the other guy…”
    “There were TWO of them?” Kaitlyn shouted.
    “It’s ok. They didn’t hurt me… Who did you talk to at my job? Did they sound mad?”
    “No, I think your fine,” said Kaitlyn. “I talked to the receptionist or whatever and she said they were concerned though. She said it’s not like you to not show up without giving someone a call.”
    “Okay, good,” I said,
