Training Day

You wake up from your nap to find Petra staring at you from the corner of the room.

"You look angry when you sleep." She laughs. "How does anyone manage that?"

"Follow me." You put on your jacket and leave.

"Who fucked your breakfast?" Petra mumbles mockingly before following you out.

"What's on the menu today?" Petra catches up to you. "Gonna make me hunt vargs with my bare hands, like you did last time?"

You shake your head. "Today I'm going to try directly assessing and helping you control the darkheart in you."

"How are you gonna do that?"

"We can start by sparring without any use of darkheart from either of us."

"Aw, no powers?" Petra pouts before taking on a fighting stance. "Ready when you are."

You assume your own fighting stance. "Go."

Petra dashes towards you and attempts to strike with her right hand. You easily parry and push her back with an open handed strike from your right.

She closes the distance again, this time going for an upper with her left. It slips through the gap in your guard perfectly, but you are able to sidestep away.

Petra growls as she closes the distance a third time, but not as closely. She throws jab after jab from her right. You duck and weave each jab and begin to close in for a counter. Petra attempts to strike you during your approach with a left cross, but you parry and land a powerful counter with your left.

Now you are on the offensive; throwing jab after jab. Petra is easily able to duck and weave your jabs, but can't find an opening to close in. You notice her dodging seems faster on her right than her left. You throw a powerful left hook aimed for her ribs. She flawlessly blocks with uer right and attempts to retaliate with her left. You slip under and land a left upper straight to her jaw.

You continue your pressure with jabs, you invert the combo you did before, this time attempting a right hook to her ribs. She blocks, but only barely, she probably still took the brunt of that blow.

"Enough." You raise a hand, Petra's face turns a slight tint of red. "I've found out the first step you have to take in mastering the darkheart."

"Really? What is it?!" Petra practically bounces in anticipation.

"You react slower with your left side, you didn't just mess up the timing on your block, you couldn't get in on me because you were dodging too slow from your left side."

"What the hell?" Petra looks at her left hand. "That's my enhanced side!"

"I already told you it was a poison." You take your fighting stance again. "Let's start working on that."

She looks at you for a moment, a blush appears on her face. "Yeah."

You and Petra were out until dark working on her left block. After two sets of mix-ups the two of you would spar.

"I'm beat." Petra groans. She sits down, protesting against more practice.

"Now is a good time to call it." You help Petra up. "I'll cook dinner."

"Awesome. Can I use your shower right quick?" Petra points to the shower before stretching. The heavy, yet strangely pleasant smell of her sweaty body after a long training session filled your nose.

Your cock twitches, the combination of Petra's smell and the thought of her in the shower started to get to you. "Go ahead." You turn around and start heading to the shelter.
