The Training Room

DAMON'S POV;

Leonardo was giving me some information about some of the tactics of our rivals but I had something else in mind. I don't understand how I was getting so carried away by the thought of her these days. My dick twitched a little. I wanted that little slut right now and looked up at Leo.

"It's been a while since Elena practised." I blurted out and Leo paused, looking at me with perplexity.

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"I think we'll discuss that later. Right now, she needs to train. I can't have her not knowing what to do when danger lurks behind the bushes. You're coming with me, Leo." I said as I rose and walked towards the door. He followed suit and soon we were downstairs, listening to the giggles of both ladies.

"To be honest. I've never seen Elena laugh so much before." Leo said and he was right. Elena was the very timid type. She was always scared and I believed it was all because of her lack of exposure. She'd been kept at home all day for all her life. I still wasn't ready to let her go though, until I knew she was ready. It was too dangerous at the moment. Then I stepped out and stood in front of both ladies who turned to me with curiosity.

"Since you're here. I thought it would be a perfect time to practice. Or don't you think?" I glanced between the both of them and noticed an evil glint in Jessie's eyes. I glanced at Leonardo, he had better get prepared.

We all were in the training room and I just believed that Jessie must have been a stripper before she became a femme fatale. She was obviously standing against Leonardo, both of them about to fight. But about a few seconds later. I could see her trick and it was working. Leonardo had no idea how entrenched he was in Jessie just yet and that was all because he wasn't ready to accept it. I watched as both of them combatted smoothly. I glanced at Elena whose eyes were on their every move. I turned back towards them and noticed the siren look in Jessie's eyes. And from the way I saw it, Leonardo was about to be finished. She pinned him with her gaze and with a smile, as though she was challenging him, and then the next thing I knew was she had him literally pinned to the ground.

"That was not fair," Leo complained.

"No battle is fair in the mafia world Leo." She said with a nonchalant shrug.

"I'll get you back for that."

"Not if you catch me first." She jumped over the ring and Leo chased after her. I chuckled at the sight and glanced at Elena. She seemed to be doubting herself because her fingers were unstable. I rose from where I was seated.

"You can't keep doubting yourself if you really want to win a battle." I gripped her hand and helped her up. Her fragile body touched mine and I had to just hold myself. I could see the lines of her breasts but now wasn't the time. Then I stepped away. "It's time."

"Look, they're starting," Jessie announced and rushed over to us.

"I know you changed the topic."

"Shhh. Watch."

I locked eyes with Elena and she locked eyes with me before we circled round each other. The tension mounted and the air crackled with anticipation. As we encircled each other, our gaze locked as though we were in a fierce battle of wills. I smirked, seeing the uncommon boldness in her eyes. In as much as I wanted to get into her pants so badly I decided to take my time and enjoy this moment. My eyes traced her body and observed how the leather she wore accentuated her skin. Leonardo and Jessica held their breaths as their eyes were fixated on the combat about to unfold. I had a smirk on my face as I continued to stare daringly at Elena. If she noticed, she was doing a good job hiding it.

She made the first move, launching towards me at a speed faster than I knew how to. I smirked, dodging her attack with my muscles reacting instinctively.

"I have to admit, you've gotten fast. But I'm faster." I taunted. I said but all I wanted to do was take her at that moment, in ways that I'd never taken her before. I noticed her eyes, a glint of confidence and doubt danced in them. She tried as much as she could not to give anything away.

"You're underestimating me, Antonio. I haven't forgotten my training." She stated and I grinned tauntingly.

"Prove it."

We exchanged blows, strike by strike. The sound of our fists colluding echoed in the room intensifying the atmosphere.

"You can do it, Elena!" Jessie cheered. But I wasn't focused on her winning this combat.

"Want to make a deal again?" I questioned and she looked at me with a mischievous glint in her eyes. Fuck where did she learn how to look like that? "Or is this all you've got?" I deflected her punch with a swift parry. But her smirk remained unfaltering.

"You have no idea." I nearly cocked a shocked brow. This was a new side of Elena I was seeing. Well, I'd seen it before, but only when...she lunged at me again with a series of lightning strikes. I backpedalled in response. Then she did the least thing I expected, like a brush of wind, she touched me, down there. It wasn't slight, but fast enough. Fuck. She was using me. She'd gotten more observant. Well, I wasn't about to let her gain the upper hand. I almost didn't have time to recover when she lunged towards me again. I countered her attacks, but didn't hit her..she'd get really hurt. Leo applauded but stopped when Jessie glared at him.

"What? I didn't say anything when you cheered for your friend."

As we exchanged blows, sweat dripped from our faces. This was new. I was actually sweating. Maybe because with every chance she had she taunted me, sexually. I wasn't going to allow her to get away with it.
