With a fast look again by the toilet, there was nonetheless no signal of her dad, so I shook my head and jumped, grabbing the chain alongside the highest of the bag and pulling my physique weight as excessive as I might go. Hoisted up like that, I tugged my legs up, wrapping them across the higher center of the heavy bag, and crossed my toes on the ankles.

With a look in her course, I let go of the chains and let my higher physique slowly fall again.

“Whoa,” she whispered.

My braid was swinging towards the bottom after I lifted my higher physique and did a few sit-ups from that hanging place. She clapped excitedly.

“What number of extra ought to I do?” I requested her.

“Twenty!”

“Oof. Okay. Then you definitely’ll hop all the way down to me?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Rely for me then, boss girl,” I advised her.

“One, two, threeeeeee,” she stretched out. I groaned as I did quantity 4, and she or he giggled.

“You need to be a coach right here,” I advised her. “I pull that gradual counting crap in my lessons too.”

We made it so far as seven after I observed somebody method from the nook of my eye, a tall shadow blocking the overhead lights of the fitness center.

Aiden.

Right now, he was sporting a white T-shirt, cosy throughout his boulder-like chest. His arms have been folded over that chest, and although I used to be hanging the wrong way up, I might see the tightness in his mouth as he surveyed our little scene.

The woman stopped her counting. “Hello, Daddy! Have a look at the girl’s cool trick!”

That was when my ankle misplaced its grip, and I fell off the bag, touchdown at my boss’s toes in a tangled, graceless heap.

Isabel

Perhaps, simply possibly, I assumed, if I fake that didn’t occur, he’ll be gone after I open my eyes. My legs flopped to the bottom, and I winced after I rolled to my aspect, eyes nonetheless pinched shut.

“Whoa,” the little woman’s voice stated. Aiden’s little woman’s voice. “You fell tremendous exhausting, Miss Isabel.”

Fuuuuuck me, actually.

“You okay?” he requested. His voice was shut—low and tough—and it raised the hair on my arms.

Was I okay? Such an fascinating query. As a result of no … I wasn’t.

I wished to erase each freaking interplay I’d had with him, scrub it from my mind with bleach as a result of someway, they only saved getting worse.

However was I really, bodily wonderful? Uh-huh, certain, let’s go together with that.

I let loose a gradual breath and took inventory of my physique, as a result of if I’d harm something, hopping up was a horrible thought. “Yeah, I’m.”

After I pried open my eyes, Aiden was crouched down, fingers hanging in between his bent knees. His face was lined with concern, however he made no transfer to the touch me, thank the Lord in heaven above.

If I used to be this a lot of a klutz when he breathed the identical air as me, I’d in all probability spontaneously orgasm if we made skin-to-skin contact.

He nodded, rising slowly as I stood off the mats. Bracing his fingers on his hips, his eyes turned towards his daughter, nonetheless swinging her legs up on that metal beam like she was on the freaking playground.

“Anya,” he stated, all regular and calm, however I noticed the stress in his jaw. “Time to get down.”
