Chương 23: Chapter 23 - Ransom

Four days later

"Fuck, Ki. You've got to stop. I can't handle anymore." I fought not to clench my fists; my head thrown back. My chest was heaving as the muscles in my arms quivered.

"Whiner. If you were more flexible, it wouldn't hurt so much now." She pushed my hips down against the floor.

"I'll remember that next time. For the love of Gaia, let me up."

She sighed heavily. "Fine, but next time we go for at least half an hour." She stepped back, letting me come out of Cobra pose. "You've got to do something. You've gained at least thirty pounds of muscle. You don't keep it stretched out, you're going to be a hunched old man by the age of thirty-five."

I collapsed onto the floor. I fucking hurt all over.

Turning, I watched her.

She slung her towel over her shoulder, using the ends to blot the beginnings of sweat beads from her brow. Her long black hair sat in a mess on top of her head. Her bouncy ass cupped like a lover by her pants.
