The Scarred Bullet Series #1

Releasing July 26th, 2016
I have a temper. I’m angry. That’s a
given.
How I take it out? At my job in the
boxing room of our gym. I’ve spent over a year trying to harness it, but I
wasn’t by myself.
Almost every night, like clockwork,
he’s there on one side and I’m at the other. He is big, rugged, but handsome.
He’s also scary. Silent. Deadly.
When I hear the name Bullet, you
would think I would have gone running in the other direction.
I didn’t. I should.
He has a past.
He has secrets. Danger. Pain.
Sorrow.
Little did I know that it would just
bring us closer together.

“Spar?”
Wow. I’ve never actually done this. “You want me to hit you?” I pointed to him.
He
crossed his arms. “Don’t worry, I can take a hit.” He smirked.
“Oh, I
don’t doubt that.” I gave a small laugh.
“Are you
scared of me?” He tilted his head slightly.
Yes. “No.” I cleared my throat.
“Look,
I’m not going to go full-force on you, because obviously, I could just break
you.” He pointed up and down my body. “I already know you can handle yourself,
but it’s about having control and defending yourself properly, especially from
someone tw—” his eyes roamed me again as he paused “—three times your size.”
I rolled
my eyes.
“Now,
we’ll start off slow, get you used to it.” He got in his boxing stance, and so
did I. “Now, I’m going to throw three jabs at you, and you’re going to block,
okay?”
I
nodded. His fists went flying at my arm as I held it up, the first two weren’t
bad, but the last one stung hard on my forearm, but I took it.
“Did
that hurt?”
Yes. “No.”
His eyes
flinched like he knew I was lying. “Again.” When he punched, he took in breaths
through his nose and let out three sharp grunts. It took my mind somewhere else
in the bedroom… until the three hits stung so hard on my arms, but I gritted my
teeth and took it. “Did that hurt?”
Fuck yes. “No.”
He let
out a big sigh and put his arms down as he stood straight. “Listen, the thing
about sparring, it’s about control and trust.”
I swallowed. “If you aren’t honest with each other, it’s not safe for either of
you. Sparring is a relationship. You have to be honest, and I know those hits
hurt, because even though I was holding back, I know my hits and I wasn’t
gentle.”
Nothing
like being caught in my own lies. “Okay, fine.” I sighed.
He got
back in his stance and threw the same hits at me again. “Now, did that hurt?” He watched me and was staring me
down.
“Yes.” I
sighed.
“Good.”
