Chapter One
Brennan and Shalimar had been training for half an hour, a very physical half an hour. Brennan didn't think he could take anymore, but he didn't want to show any weakness to Shalimar. He loved watching her with the sexy look on her face that she got only when she was kicking butt. Suddenly he felt a hard kick in the middle of his chest.
"Brennan...Brennan, are you even paying attention? That kick was simple to block. Come on keep up, we are only just warming up." Shalimar said with a smirk on her face. She knew how tired he was, however she also knew he would never admit it.
"Yeah, I was just giving you a chance." Brennan said, trying to even his breathing out.
"Team meeting in five minutes in the lab." Adam's voice came over their comrings. However Brennan's leg was midair about to land a powerful kick to Shalimar's ribs, knowing she could easily flip out of the way, but she had been distracted by Adam's message. Before he knew it, Brennan felt his leg connect full force to her ribs and then Shalimar flying onto the ground.
"Shal...Shal...I am so, so sorry. I'm really sorry, Shal." A large wave of guilt passed over Brennan and he hurried over to her and checked her out.
"Brennan, I'm fine," she replied, hiding the pain she felt in her side. Shalimar saw how guilty he felt and didn't want to make him feel any worse. Plus her feral pride was upset that she had missed such an easy block just after she had been teasing him about it.
"I'm sorry, Shal. Let me have a look." His fingers ran lightly down her side and went to lift her shirt up to see if there was going to be any bruising. Shalimar suppressed her reflex to flinch from pain and pushed his hand away quickly.
'Geez, she must be really angry at me.' Brennan thought, feeling hurt that she wouldn't even let him look at her.
"Bren...I'm okay. Trust me, you can't take me down that easy," She gave him a little smile and got herself up.
"Come on, the rest of the gang will be waiting for us. I'm really okay." Shalimar said off Brennan's still uneasy look.
As they walked towards the lab Brennan studied her closely but Shalimar seemed okay. He let out a deep breath, relaxed and kept on walking.
