Chapter 15 - Training Our Bodies

Nero led Amina outside, the brisk night air awakening her dulled senses. She breathed in long and deep, allowing the fresh air to calm her frayed nerves from that awkward dinner. Nero released her wrist, turning to face her under the lowering light of the sunset.

"We don't need to do this tonight if you're still tired, I'll gladly escort you back to your room if that's what you would prefer, Mia."

"No, I'd like to start as soon as possible," she replied with a nervous smile, anticipating the harsh training she had briefly seen the black knights go through as she passed their training grounds a few times. Nero was ruthless, merciless as he drilled the knights under him.

Seeing the fear in her bright, blue eyes Nero chuckled, grabbing her chin and lifting it so her eyes met his.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to treat ya like I do my knights. I'll be gentle," he reassured her, stroking her chin with his rough thumb. She quivered slightly before pulling away, the heat in his eyes making her heart flutter. She shook her head, reminding herself she was here to train, not to flirt.

Flirt? Is that what she was doing, she thought with a blush.

"Ya feeling okay, Mia?" Nero asked, resting his hand against her face saying, "You look flushed, sweetheart." His words made her blush deeper and she mumbled she was okay, just a little hot. He smirked and dropped his hand before beginning their training session.

"Let's start. It's best to keep your distance when you can, always be prepared to run. Keep your body at an angle when you can, it's faster for you to turn your body and avoid or run when you do. Keep your weight on your non-dominant side so you can keep your dominant side ready to attack or flee, like this," he explained, standing at an angle facing her, his muscles flexed beneath the ill-fitting tunic, ready to move. Amina mirrored his pose and he smiled in approval.

"Good. Now run at me so I can show you how to move your body to dodge an attack." Amina was a little afraid but she trusted him with her life so she pushed off her back foot and sprinted at him head on. He swiveled his body right as she came near, capturing her around the waist and pulling her body to his.

Her backside was flush with his front as she panted, trying to catch her breath after running at him head on. She could feel the plains of his body against hers, his hard muscles wrapped around her and pressing against her soft body. His arm tightened around her waist, his hand resting on her hip. Her body heated against his, her face flushing in embarrassment as her body instantly reacted to his. Her breathing became erratic as time slowed while he still held her.

Nero could feel her soft curves against him, her round bottom rubbing against his strong thighs. Her waist felt like a dolls beneath his arm, her voluptuous hips tempting him as he held onto her. His grip tightened along with his pants as he heard her breathing catch when he moved against her slightly. This small woman was driving him crazy. He was supposed to be training her body to defend itself, not react to his touch, but his hands seemed to move before he knew what he was doing. He quickly released her, stepping back and scrubbing a hand over his face to compose himself as she calmed her breathing. Gods, help him.

Nero cleared his throat and asked, "Did you see how I used my stance to swing my body away from you?"

"Yes," she answered weakly, still reeling from his touch.

"Good. Now I want you to try to avoid me the same way." Amina's eyes widened, causing him to laugh and reassure her that he wouldn't go full force. She prepared herself, standing just right and steeling herself, waiting for him to pounce. He smiled before he suddenly bounded toward her, she quickly tried to avoid him by moving her body aside but she became unbalanced and started to fall backwards. Nero quickly adjusted and caught her, pulling her into his embrace.

"Th-thank you," Amina whispered, looking up at him with her hands on his chest to stabilize herself. She could feel his muscles tense under her touch, his grip on her tightening as he looked down at her. His eyes bored into hers as the silence stretched, the tension building between them.

"Mia," Nero whispered, one of his hands trailing up her spine and causing her to shiver with pleasure as the other held her waist firmly against him. Amina looked into his eyes and managed to squeeze out a small, breathless, "yes," in response.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked politely, one of his hands now caressing her neck and face as the other pulled her even closer.

She didn't hesitate as she gave a small nod, immediately his lips met hers in a heated kiss, his fingers tangling in her hair as he deepens the kiss, pushing his tongue inside her small, warm mouth, teasing her tongue with his. Amina didn't know what to do, her body reacted on its own, grasping at his tunic before she stretched on her toes to wind her arms around his muscled neck. As soon as her arms linked around his neck, he pulled her feet off the ground, holding her in his arms. She wrapped her legs around his waist and felt his hands move across her body to finally support her weight by grabbing and cupping her butt in his large hands. She let out a small, surprised noise when she felt his hands squeeze her butt.

Nero was losing his mind as her small body trembled in his arms, their sloppy kissing turning hot and heavy as he supported her weight by grabbing her ass when she twined her legs around his waist. He instantly became hard, walking with her, nipping her lips and sucking her tongue as he pinned her against the outer wall in the darkest corner of the backyard. She moaned when his body pressed against hers, forcing her back against the wall. He could feel every inch of her body against his. Her small breasts rubbed against his chest, her nipples hardening at the friction between their clothes. He could feel her hands exploring his back, neck, and chest, one grasping his tunic while the other found its home in his hair. He groaned as his erection got painfully hard.

Amina couldn't think, couldn't breathe as their kiss became something she couldn't control. She'd lost control as soon as he backed her up against a wall. She could feel the cold brick against her back and his hard, warm chest as his heart pounded in tandem with hers as their lips and tongues met over and over. She couldn't hear or see anything but him and the lewd noises coming from their sweet connection. She felt a heat low in her belly as she squirmed against his passionate kiss. She could feel his hardening manhood against her butt, causing her to become wet as her body reacted on its own, rubbing herself against him.

"Mia, please, I'm going to lose my mind," he ground out as she kept rubbing against his length. Nero could feel her wetness and was slowly losing his grip on sanity. He even forgot they were outside.

Amina had never been with a man, never even kissed one until Nero. She had such strong feelings of attraction and something more she couldn't name with him. She knew she should stop but she didn't want to. She wanted him to touch her more as she ached inside. She was panting as she pulled away from Nero to say, "Ro, I feel strange, please, please, I don't know what to do, I've never been with a man," she begged, not knowing what she wanted. Nero growled and asked if he could touch her elsewhere. As soon as she whispered, "yes, please," in his ear, he could no longer hold back.

Nero dove back into their passionate kiss, rolling up her dress to touch her beneath. She jolted when she felt his thick fingers against her wetness, rubbing her small mound and causing her hips to shake. He broke their kiss to trail kisses down her neck, nipping and kissing everywhere his mouth could reach as he slipped a finger inside her.

"Ah!" Amina moaned as his hard finger slipped inside her with ease, stirring feelings she didn't know what to do with. Nero quickly covered her lips with his to stifle her moans as he began to move his fingers, stroking her insides as his thumb rubbed roughly against her clit, stimulating her more than she could handle. Amina was scared of the amount of pleasure she felt as he pumped his finger inside her, her hips moving on their own, begging for more. Nero slipped in another finger, causing a sharp pain inside. Tears filled Amina's eyes as he spread her open but quickly the pain was replaced with pleasure as he stirred her insides when suddenly she felt something coming, rising within her as his finger moved faster and harder. Amina cried out against his mouth, her insides twitching and sucking his fingers in as she came. Sweat rolled down her back as she came down from her high, her body falling against Nero's as she lost consciousness.
