Kiara trained martial arts every day. With her trainer, she was learning to defend herself. Being the daughter of one of the many drug dealers, she had to keep herself safe. So she was training. Being already 22, Kiara got her bachelor degree she worked hard for. She wasn't a heir to her father's title because she already had three older brothers. She had the best sibiling relationship with her oldest brother.
Since she was the only daughter in Vintelli family, her brothers and father were overprotective over her. Men other than her family members, couldn't be mentioned in her house or she would be interrogated like in the police station. They wanted to keep their little sister safe. Kiara loved to have brothers like hers, but they were sometimes too much.
Walking out of her training room, she noticed her father talking with a young man. She concluded they were obviously talking about business she didn't care about. She knew what her father and brothers are dealing with and she had no intention in meddling.
"Training finished?" Zack, her oldest brother, asked her.
"Just now. What are you doing?" She asked him cautiously.
"I'm trying to remember if I know this man, but I can't remember. This is the first time I'm looking at him. Dad seems pretty happy that he is here." Zack said.
"I don't know him either. But I don't care. I need to shower." She said, brushing past her brother. She headed to her room and went to shower right away. The warm shower after hard training was the best. She wasn't fond of training, but she knew she has to know how to fight in case something happens.
She got dressed for the dinner and rushed downstairs. Her mother already prepared dinner, but she didn't know that the same man she saw previously was now sitting at their table and on her place. How dare he! She was sitting there since she was little and now some stranger sat in her place. She furiously walked into the dining room and stood behind him. She tapped on his shoulder and he turned around.
"Excuse me, but you took my place." She said. He got up smirking and just when she thought he would do something to her, he sat on the chair next to hers.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know, princess." He mocked her with the nickname which only made her angrier.
"Well you should know not to take the lady's seat in the first place." She said micheviously and sat on her chair. Kiara noticed his cologne that was left lingering around her seat.
"I'm sure you didn't have to react like that, Kiara." Her father said with warning. Why was he defending this egoistic bastard? When dinner was served, Kiara was observing their family's guest. He seemed carefree around them and she didn't understand who is he yet. But she did find out her name was Sergio. Just his name sent shivers down her spine.
"What was the occasion that you joined us for the dinner?" Kiara asked interrupting his chatting with her brothers.
"I can't have a dinner with my acquaintances?" He smirked at her.
"I never said that, Mr. Sergio. I just asked for the reason. Nothing happens without a reason." She said.
"You're right. There is a reason." He said looking at her father. Her father cleared his throat and let down his fork.
"We decided to let Mr. Sergio be your coach. It's great opportunity for you. And he can teach you some professional moves." Her father said smiling appreaciately towards Sergio. Kiara didn't like Sergio and he should be her coach? There was something about his egoistic personality that she discovered while talking with him.
"What's wrong with my current coach?" She asked.
"He wants an early retirement. And training with Mr. Sergio will be great opportunity for you. You can learn much more." Kiara sighed and lost her apetite. She must train with this big rock. Sergio was huge compared to her and that kind of scared her. He can easily break some of her bones if she pisses him off.
"Alright." She muttered giving Sergio a stank look. He already liked this feisty little girl. He couldn't wait to start training with her. But actually the truth was he convinced her father to train her so he could be close to her. And being the leading drug dealer helped him.

After few days of rest, Kiara was ready to start her first day of training with her new coach. She knew it won't be easy, espeacially with the looks he was giving her. Kiara knew he will make it harder than usual for her. So she had to prepare. Some part of her was scared to train with him. What if he purposely hurts her?
Sergio was already waiting for her in the training room. He couldn't wait for her to come and soon his wishes were granted. She walked in the room in her usual attire.
"Good morning." She said, taking of her shirt. That ass! He thought looking at her curves. She was left in a sports bra and shorts, ready for the training.
"You're late." He stated.
"No, I'm not. This is the time when I usually come here." She responded confused.
"I expect you in 6 sharp tomorrow." He warned her.
"Whatever." She mumbled.
"What? I didn't hear you." He teased her on purpose.
"Then get your ears cleaned." She sassed walking to the track for running.
"Where are you going?" He stopped her.
"To warm up." She turned around.
"No, babygirl." He chuckled amused at her cluelessness.
"Then what should I do? I always run to warm up." She frowned.
"Well you're going to do it my way from now on. Don't worry, you'll run. But now you will do the three 100."
"What's that?" She gave him perplexed look.
"Squats, jumping jacks and jumping with the rope, all 100 reps. Then you'll run for 20 minutes." He smiled looking at her shocked face. I will die! She thought.
"I expect you to finish everything in 45 minutes. You can do that, right?" He asked her.
"You know we shouldn't jump into working out so hard the first day." She chuckled nervously.
"I think we should. So I can get a better view of your training compatibilities. Well, we can't lose any more time. Let's start." He clapped his hands and took off his shirt. She knew he had athletic body, but this...this was a mountain. Her mouth parted slightly taking the view. She was drooling for sure.
"I know I'm hot, but don't be so perverted, babe." He teased her with the name he came up for her.
"I wasn't looking at you." She answered unbothered and turned around to see if she drooled. She took her mat and started stretching. Sergio watched her intently, but he couldn't take his eyes off of her. He thought she is perfect.
While she was doing squats, he circled her like he was checking if she is doing it right, but he was actually looking at her butt.
"Look who is perverted now. Staring at me shamelessly." Kiara smirked and looked at him. He laughed at her words.
"I have something to stare at." He smirked, making her embarassed.
Finishing with her warm up that definitely left her without any strenght, she slumped down on the floor. She took her bottle and drank everything. She never did this intense warm up.
"You did good. But you get too tired which leaves you without strenght. So we should work on this. This will be your routine from this day on. Now we should train on the techniques." He explained. She looked at him in disbelief. After all she has done, she can't even get a rest?
They got in a ring and before she could take gloves, Sergio stopped her and told her they are going to fight with bare hands. That made her gulp nervously. She looked at Sergio who was on the other side of the ring smirking like always.
"Now try to take me down. We aren't fighting for real, keep that in mind." He said. She almost fainted at his words.
"How old are you, Sergio?" She asked him calmly.
"Soon to be 30." He answered.
"So you want me to throw the man who is eight years older than me, more experienced in fighting, stronger than me, three times bigger than my size and who weights more than 200 pounds?" She asked to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.
"265 pounds more correctly. But in conclusion yes." He smirked, proud of himself.
"I can't do it. You will kill me." She felt the sweat running down her forehead. She didn't know if it was from the previous exercises or fear.
"For God's sake, why should I kill you? But something else can rest in peace if you want." He teased her, but she didn't understand his joke. What did he mean by that?
"I won't do anything. Just let me see how you throw someone. And if you ever find yourself with someone my size, you should know what to do. Am I right?" He asked her more seriously. She nodded her head in agreement. She quickly ducked under his arm and threw him over her back. Sergio was impressed with her performance and when she wasn't looking, he flipped her down.
"Why did you do that?" She yelled aggravatedly. He chuckled at her whining and hovered over her.
"What are you doing?" She asked nervously. He lowered himself until he was right in front of her face.
"What should I do now, sweetheart?" He whispered seductively.
"What should you do? I don't understand." She asked.
"I love how clueless you are. Making me want to tease you more.'' He smirked.
''I did nothing wrong so you can tease me. Everything is a joke to you.'' She huffed. His behaviour irritated her.
''I should get you mad more often. You're too cute.'' Sergio chuckled.
''I'm not cute. Leave me alone.'' She said and pushed him off her body.

Few weeks later, Kiara learned some new moves and she learned to take Sergio down without a struggle. His joking and humor made Kiara to like him. She sarcastically responded on his stupid jokes and so on. Kiara became fond of his training and she couldn't wait the next day when she is going to see him.
Month later, Kiara walked in the training room. As usual Sergio waited for her.
''Morning!'' She said cheerfully. He smiled at her and took of his shirt. He was feeling better working out without a shirt.
''Hey, babe!'' He teased her. She rolled her eyes taking of her shirt. Kiara already learned her routine and prepared her mat.
''Oh there are slight changes today.'' He notified her and smirked. He always had devilish plans.
''What changes?'' She asked.
''You're doing two hundred squats. The rest will be the same.'' He said.
''Why should I be doing two hundred squats all of a sudden?'' She shrieked.
''I have reasons, babygirl, that you can't understand.'' He defended himself.
She rolled her eyes and started doing her warm up. She couldn't believe why she would be doing that many squats. It was enough with hundred as it is, but no, he must complicate things. Sergio knew very well why he told her to do that many squats. He was really dirty minded when she didn't have a clue about his thoughts.
After almost an hour, she got ready to work on her strategies. Instead of a ring, they decided to fight on a big mat next to the fighting ring. She was taking him down all the time because he was letting her. Then decided to make fun of her, he was the one to take her down.
''Why did you do that? My arm hurts.'' She said. His face changed to one of the worry quickly as he looked at her left arm. There was no redness or anything because Kiara tricked him and flipped him over. Now she was straddling him in a fighting mode.
''Distraction, babe.'' She said mocking his voice whenever he called her babe.
He just smirked grabbing her waist.
''Thank you, baby. Nice view by the way.'' He smirked. Her eyes widened as she moved from him right away. She huffed going to take her bottle. Why is he always thinking about that stuff? She asked herself. Kiara liked him, but his perverted side always seemed to show.
Sergio noticed that she didn't like his joke and he immediately felt sorry. He followed behind her, planning the apology in his mind.
''Sweetheart, I'm sorry. You know I always joke around.'' He said, thinking that using the endearment will fix her anger.
''Why do you always think about perverted things, Sergio?'' She snapped.
''I'm not thinking about that all the time. I also think about work and other important things.'' He reasoned her.
''Whatever.'' She shrugged.
''Why are you mad at me now?'' He gently took her hand in his.
''I'm not mad at you. But you annoy me most of the time.'' She addmitted. He didn't think she dislikes him that much. He even thought she liked him.
''Oh...I didn't know that.'' He said looking disappointed. Now he made her feel guilty. She probably offended him.
''I didn't want to make you feel bad. But I don't like your teasing. You mock me for everything I do.'' She said.
''I didn't want to hurt you. I'm sorry for acting like that. But that's one side of my personality.'' She was happy that he was honest with her. Kiara never thought Sergio would open to her like this. She noticed worry and care in his voice.
''It's fine. I hope you never meant seriously what you've been teasing me about.'' He shook his head negatively. Sergio and her both knew that was not true, but she let it slide.
''Hug?'' He suggested. Kiara nodded and wrapped her arms around his torso. He put his arms around he small form comparing to his and squeezed her. Nothing will hurt if I try. It looks soft. He internally said and lowered his hand to her butt. He grabbed on side of her butt and squeezed it. It felt like heaven for him, but she pushed him off fast.
''Sergio, you lied to me.'' She yelled.
''I'm sorry, but it's so squishy and soft.'' He tried to talk seriously, but chuckle escaped his lips.
''I'm going to kill you.'' She said when they started chasing him around the gym. They were sure people could hear them outside even if the room was soundproof. When Kiara finally catched up, she jumped on his back. She wrapped her legs around him and pulled on his hair.
''I'm sorry, I'm sorry.'' He laughed it off. Her own laugh escaped her lips when she released his hair.
''But I don't regret what I did. It was worth it.'' He smiled.
''I bet that you don't. Pervert.'' She said and wrapped her arms around his neck gently.
''Can this pervert take you out on a date tomorrow evening?'' He asked her.
''But my family...'' She said sadly thinking about her brothers and father.
''Don't worry, baby. I promise you there will be no problems. I just need confirmation from you.'' He reassured her. She nodded her head blushing.
''Is that a yes?'' He smirked.
''Yes it is, babe.'' She teased him.
''Are you copying my words?'' He gasped.
''And what if I do? You can't do anything to me.'' She sassed. He turned his head towards her face that was on his shoulder and whispered.
''Watch me.''
