En Garde Chapter 9 Sneak Peak

Snippet:

"I promise you, I am not going anywhere." He leans back and smiles at her. "I will keep teaching." He pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "I will still be your coach." She looks up at him. "Just as my coach?" She asks hesitantly, "I'm yours." He says simply before leaning down and kissing her again. She slides her hands up his chest to rest them on his shoulders. He pulls her closer as the kiss deepens.

He moves to kiss her jaw and then her neck, tasting her pulse and inhaling the scent of her perfume, he wants her, has wanted her for weeks. "Lucanis." She moans, and he freezes, remembering where they were. He pulls back, breathing a little heavier. He smiles and steps back with a flush to his cheeks. "Can I see you tonight?" He asked, making her smile.

"Why don't you come to my place? We can watch a movie." He ponders for a moment. "It's a date." She smiles and kisses his cheek. Before leaving his office, he lingers for a moment, touching his cheek, before following her. "What time?" He asks as she packs her kit away. "7 pm ok with you?" He nods. "Any movie preferences?" She asked, pulling on her hoodie. "You pick." She smiles. "Ok." They both laugh, it was going to take a while to get used to this.

He watches her leave and cant help the smile that spreads on his lips, He had always struggled to assert himself especially when Catarina had always called the shots, but if she truly wished him to take over as CEO he was going to do it his way, Teia ran the place and did most of the paperwork, Caterina just signed stuff off and went to the meetings with the fencing board.

There should be no reason for him to have to give up teaching, Tiea and Viago seemed to agree, and now he had even more reason to keep teaching, he wanted to see her earn her first medal in foil but more than that he just wanted to be with her, he had never wanted anything so much in his life.

He had tried dating before but they had always wanted more than he was ready to give, he was not vein by any means but he knew he was conventionally attractive, people seemed to think that he would just fall into bed with them but he just couldn't, he wanted to know them first, wanted to feel something. He had almost given up until Altara walked into his life.

He had been confused and a little terrified at first, the way she smiled at him gave him butterflies. She was so kind, the way she had agreed without a second thought when he had asked her to go to that meeting. When she held his hand it was then that he knew then that these feelings she had awoken were something more, something precious, there first kiss was when he knew he was falling for her.

It just felt so right to kiss her, he had wanted to reassure her as she had for him, show her that this meant something to him, something more than wanting her to succeed in the competition, that she wasn't just a student to him any more. He smiled, he was looking forward to watching a movie with her.
