I\u2019m shifting my weight from foot to foot and not completely sure what to do with my hands. \u201cHey,\u201d he finally says, offering me a small smile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou ready?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I\u2019ll ever be,\u201d I grumble, not really sure if I can do this.<\/p>\n<p>Or if I should.<\/p>\n<p>No, I definitely should. After what happened last week, a woman should know a few basic self-defense moves.<\/p>\n<p>Nick heads over to the bench and unties his belt, dropping it on the bench beside my bag. Then, he strips off his white jacket.<\/p>\n<p>My jaw hits the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike our time on the boat Monday, where he wasn\u2019t wearing a shirt, this time he\u2019s wearing a white tank top underneath, and if it\u2019s possible, I think it makes him hotter. It hugs his very hard, very muscular upper body in a way that I\u2019ve only read about in books. (Or saw one time when Linkin stripped for my sister, Lexi.) His shoulders\u2026my word, his shoulders. The definition and muscles are like a work of art. Nick turns back to face me. \u201cIs this okay? It\u2019s hot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yep. Definitely hot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUmm, sure. Whatever. Fine.\u201d I know I try to sound casual, but really, it just comes out like a bumbling, blubbering teenager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood. Now come here,\u201d he instructs, and the tone goes straight to the apex of my legs (which are practically shaking, by the way). Why does it sound dirty?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to show you just a few moves to help you escape an assailant. The first is an open hand strike. You\u2019re going to use the heel of your hand to strike some of your assailant\u2019s most sensitive areas,\u201d he teaches, demonstrating the move. \u201cAim for the eyes, nose, mouth, or neck.\u201d He stands in front of me and holds my hand, positioning it and showing me the correct ways to execute. \u201cHere,\u201d he adds, moving my hand to his face.<\/p>\n<p>I can feel his breath on the palm of my hand as I slowly shadow his movements, practicing without actually striking him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood. Now, if he comes at you from behind, your elbow is a valuable weapon. It\u2019s hard, and when thrust into his face, neck, or stomach, you could definitely buy some precious time to get away.\u201d He moves behind me and I immediately thrust upward with my elbow. He easily dodges the blow, as mortification tinges my cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh my God, I\u2019m sorry. I didn\u2019t mean to try to hit you, it just\u2026was a reflex,\u201d I insist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re fine,\u201d he chuckles. \u201cIt\u2019s good for you to actually practice the moves. Well, except this next one. No need to practice the knee to the groin. Just know it\u2019s one of the most effective ways to disarm an assailant. If done right, your perp will be lying on the ground, crying for his mommy while you run away,\u201d Nick teases, holding his hand over his\u2026area.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, my eyes drop down.<\/p>\n<p>Why wouldn\u2019t they?<\/p>\n<p>He was just referring to someone\u2019s\u2026package.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, no need to practice that,\u201d I quickly reply, again a blush burning my neck and cheeks.<\/p>\n<p>Is it hot in here?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s go over a few ways to block a punch or slap,\u201d he says, showing me a few techniques using my arms and hands, before finally demonstrating what to do if the assailant gets me down on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Yep, I\u2019ve officially lost my mind. I\u2019m practically rolling around on the mat with Nick, who is trying to teach me moves that might one day save my life. And all I can think about is the way his arms feel when they wrap around me or the way his <em>package<\/em> brushes up against my thigh, not once, but five times.<\/p>\n<p>Five.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I counted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, that\u2019s the basics. I want to do a few of them in a real-life situation. Stand over there, and I\u2019ll come at you. I want you to take me down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait, what? I can\u2019t take you down. You\u2019re\u2026big.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And, cue the blush\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Nick chuckles. \u201cI\u2019ll be okay, honey. Promise.\u201d Then he winks at me, and my entire body seems to catch fire. \u201cReady?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No. I\u2019m definitely not ready for this.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-39738\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.inkslingerpr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/MyKindaForever_Tomorrow-1024x904.jpg?resize=474%2C419\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>About Lacey Black:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Lacey Black is a Midwestern girl with a passion for reading, writing, and shopping.
