I watch Marinah like she’s prey. She looks around, trying to figure out how to keep herself occupied, and sex is all I have on my mind when I look at her. Her eyes find mine, and I see the moment she realizes I’m going to pounce. She’s quick, and even though I had every intention of catching her, she eludes me. She crouches low several feet away, her breathing heavier, her focus entirely on me.

“It’s been two minutes, and you’re already going stir-crazy. I thought some sparring was in order.”

She shakes her head. “That’s not the look I see in your eyes.”
