Destiny

I shoot Taylan one last look over my shoulder before turning back to my aunt, my dad stands on the side of us.

“You have three minutes, that’s it. Destiny, your job is to stay on your feet and not get pinned.” I shoot him a scathing look that has him smiling before he turns to my aunt. “Doll, show her what you're made of, if she can’t put you down then you will be her new training partner until she can pin you.” I balk at him but before I can argue my point he steps back and nods to Thomas outside the ring that is crowded with people to ring the bell. I’m not worried about this fight ending up on the internet, no one aside from members of our family are allowed their phones in here so we can train in peace without the worry of people leaking tapes of us.

The second the bell sounds I expect my aunt to go on the defensive but she surprises me when she comes at me with arms swinging. I block her hit and crouch down, Taylan told me not to strike until I can get a read on her or find a weak spot. She’s too nimble and fast for me to attack her, her foot work is fucking insane and makes it hard for me to judge where she is stepping.

When she comes at me with a left hook and a right cross over that I narrowly miss I decide to say fuck it to what Taylan said and fight how I always do. My reach is longer than hers, which means she has to come closer. I wait for her to take a swing at me, when she does I push off my back and drop my left arm slightly as I swing out with my right hook. What I didn’t anticipate was for her to expect that move, drop low and tackle me to the ground. We grapple on the floor for a minute before my own aunt has me pressed face first into the ring with her knee in my back and my left arm wrenched back. Dad rushes forward and crouches down beside us.

“Tap out.” I grit my teeth and ignore the burn in my arm as she tilts it further back and shake my head.

“Never.” I growl.

“You’re done.” Taylan calls out as he enters the ring and stands behind my father looking pissed off. “You could have rolled out from under her if you weren’t so cocky and thought your size difference would give you the strength you needed to overpower her.” To teach me a lesson my aunt pushes my arm back further, drawing a cry of pain from me, leaving me no choice but to tap out. She releases me instantly. I admit my pride is more wounded than anything. I roll over and stare at my aunt's outstretched hand. If she were anyone else I would smack it away but I can’t disrespect her like that.

She helps me to my feet and smiles. “You were over anticipating every move, to get a read on someone you have to play defense,” she says.

“I had three minutes to take you down, that didn’t leave me much time,” I defend.

“All you needed to do was watch closely for thirty seconds, she favors her right side and always tenses before she throws a punch,” Taylan adds from beside us. Aunt Kiara and Dad both look surprised at his observation. “You try fighting like how you just did against Tiana and she will have you tapping out in round one.” His words hit their mark. I hate that he’s right and I did overestimate myself when I know better.

“Hit the showers, take the rest of the day off,” Dad says, I ignore all the people crowding the ring as I climb out and head straight for the locker rooms. My ego is bruised and shame is washing over me like a tidal wave. I grab my towel from my locker and head for the showers, sighing in relief when I find them empty. I strip off and turn the water ice cold as my muscles are aching. I should be in an ice bath but too fucking bad, a shower is quicker. I brace myself as I step under the spray and grit my teeth as the cold water soaks me.

I close my eyes and push away all thoughts of the fight with my aunt and try to clear my mind except all I see behind my closed lids is the faces of the men who I killed. I gasp and snap my eyes open only to stumble back a step at the sight of Taylan standing before me. I place my hand over my heart to try and calm it.

“What the fuck are you doing in here?” I snap. His eyes trail down the length of my body, and unlike some girls I’m not ashamed of mine and am proud of what my momma gave me. His gaze is laser focused on my pussy. When he gnaws on his bottom lip, my body begins to heat despite the temperature of the water.

“I came in here to lecture you about being a cocky bitch, but then I saw you naked and wet and all the blood in my body rushed south.” Without permission my eyes drop to his groin and the sight of his hard length pressing against his shorts has my breath accelerating. Taylan doesn’t wait for me to respond as he tosses his phone to the side and moves in closer, eliminating the space between us. His clothes get soaked instantly but he doesn’t seem to care or even notice when he grips my waist and pulls me flush against him. He bends down so his forehead rests against mine, our breaths mingling as we stand here staring at each other, breathing the same air.

“What—”

He cuts me off before I can finish speaking. “I’ve only ever fucked one woman more than once, want to be the second?”

I balk at the bastard. “That’s the pick-up line you’re going with?” I scoff.

He smirks and wiggles his brows. “I could have said, nice legs, what time do they open?”

Despite my annoyance toward him I can’t stop the chuckle from breaking free. I throw caution to the wind and wrap my arms around his neck, then press in closer so my lips ghost over his.

“I don’t like you.”

His eyes darken as he shifts his hand from my waist to cup my pussy, drawing a gasp from me. “That may be true, but you like how I can chase the monsters out of your nightmares.” I don’t have a chance to respond, he meshes his lips to mine, robbing me of air when he pushes a finger inside me. I press up on my tiptoes and cling to him, deepening the kiss when he crooks that finger inside me, stroking that sweet spot. He pushes me back so I’m flush against the shower wall and pulls his finger free. I break the kiss.

“Why’d you stop?”

The cocky smirk on his plump lips annoys the fuck out of me. “As much I would love to watch you come on my hand, we don’t have the luxury of time before people come in here, so you’re going to come on my cock then we’re going to head back to your apartment so you can slam that cunt on my face while you suck my cock sixty-nine style, baby.”

My jaw slackens but I would be lying if I said the idea of sixty-nining him didn’t have me growing wetter by the second. Taylan pushes his shorts down his legs, his monster cock springing free. It’s hard and resting against his shirt, looking angry and in need of me to help relieve the pressure. I lift my leg and hook it around his waist, pulling him in closer.

“Don’t make promises you can’t keep, Tay Tay,” I tease. Instead of answering me he grips the backs of my thighs and lifts me. Reaching between us, he positions his cock at my entrance before looking up at me.

“You want this, right?” This is the second time he has asked me for consent and the voice in the back of my head is telling me that consent was taken from him.

“Yes, Tay Tay.” He looks almost relieved by my answer. This time when he slips inside me I’m prepared for his size, it still stings a bit but nowhere near as much as last time. When he bottoms out inside me we both moan, I feel so fucking full.

“Fuck your pussy is so tight,” he grits out through clenched teeth.

“I need you to move, Taylan.” He grips the globes of my ass in a punishing hold as he draws almost all the way out then slams back inside me. I cry out in pleasure. “Bite down on my fucking shoulder,” he demands as he repeats the move making me moan loudly again. “Now!”
