cora_hale | Boot Camp (For Connor)

There was so much of the station that was left to it's own devices, Cora had discovered on her explorations. The lower levels near the docks were full of abandoned spaces. Some had been taken over by the black market element for transporting goods into and around the station (she'd found that out when she ran bodily into a hulking grey-skinned alien that apologised profusely and then offered to show her around the sub-levels in the most disarmingly polite way that Cora spent a whole afternoon being chaperoned by him). Other spaces were just too dangerous structurally to be of any use. Still others were flooded.

But then her new friend had shown her into one of the legs of the station and she'd found an empty warehouse. High ceilings and big windows, an upper floor that she was seriously considering making her new permanent living space. The whole thing looking out over the smaller surface level buildings and the water beyond.

It was perfect.

Cora grinned as she walked in. She'd spent a day with the help of her new smuggler friends cleaning the place out and now she was passing the time warming up while she waited for Connor to get there for their first training session.

"For him?" Cora asked hopefully as she moved around behind Connor, positioning him in a strong stance for striking from, hands on his hips as she twisted them slightly, sliding them up his back to pull his shoulders back.

"Yeah, the blood from my face got all over his fist. Super inconvenient for him," Connor said, biting his lip as he tried to focus on Cora's instruction and not how close her hands were to his butt. Also, glancing down it looked like his shorts didn't do much to his his erection.

Cora chuckled and shook her head. "Yeah that would be a pain in the ass." She said, trying very hard to ignore the rising scent of Connors arousal as she moved him around.

When he was positioned to her liking and gave him a little time to calm down, she went around to stand in front of him. "Let's see it then."

"See it? I mean, yes, the punch," Connor said, face flushing a bit as it took him a moment to realize what she meant. Trying to keep himself loose he gave a shout as he punched.

He was pretty sure he heard Amy snicker.

Cora ducked to one side easily, catching his wrist and pulling him off balance so he fell into her arms. She hooked an arm around his throat and let her claws out, holding them against his jugular.

"You telegraphed that from about last Tuesday." She said simply. "Here." She said and let him go, waiting for him to go back to the starting position. Cora dropped into the stance and then immediately threw a punch just to the side of his head. She did it again for good measure, slower and more deliberate so he could see where the power came from. "Got it?"

From:

legendinprogress

"Because you told me to punch!" Connor said, a bit defensive. He probably wouldn't have done much better even if she hadn't though. Also, choking him was not fair because (he knew from a James Bond movie) that just made you more erect.

When she punched at him he bit his lip to keep from screaming out in fear. That probably wasn't the best think to do when fighting and she probably wasn't going to punch him in the face. And he tried, really tried to pay attention to more than how her hips and abs looked. Sighing he waited again before suddenly punching randomly.

From:

It was a better punch and it almost hit her because she was so distracted by the way he was tenting his shorts. Cora growled and countered, late but still effective, pulling him gently off balance again.

"Better. We can practice that again next time. Now try to counter me." She conceded and then threw a punch of her own, painfully slowly for her, aiming to miss just in case.

From:

legendinprogress

Connor just sort of yelped, shoved her arm away, and pushed himself to the side. It wasn't really the best move but he DID end up dodging the punch, in a way. Probably could be improved in though.

"How was that?"

From:

cora_hale

"It was good." Cora said, spinning on the balls of her feet to face him. "You had me off balance and it took me a second to come around on you again. I can teach you the follow up move next time." She said, grinning. In a way she was oddly proud of him. "Okay do it again." She smoothed a hand over his shoulder, mostly because she really wanted to touch him as much as to put him back into position.

From:

legendinprogress

Connor took a steadying breath to remember she was just here to teach him how to fight. She was being really nice and that was all.

"Okay, it was kind of like this?" he said, trying to actually remember what he had done.

From:

cora_hale

Connor did it again, more confident in his movements even if his voice suggested otherwise. Cora twisted with the movement and span round, dancing out of the way of an uncertain, but almost correct follow-up strike he tried.

"Okay now you're just showing off." She said, catching his hand when he was too slow to pull it back and twisting into his body, hip into his stomach. "Sorry." She grinned and then pulled him into a judo throw, dropping him at her feet.

From:

legendinprogress

"Ow."

Somehow the fact that she had apologized had made it worse, like she didn't need to flip him like that. It wasn't instinct, it was just tossing him around so easily. Why was that so hot?

"Now who's showing off?"

From:

cora_hale

"Have you met me?" Cora asked, unashamed of herself. She had been showing off. She wanted to manhandle him and she regretted nothing.

Offering him a hand up, Cora smiled. "It's only going to bruise for like a week."

From:

legendinprogress

"Imma stay down here I think," Connor said, splaying out on the ground before he remembered the crotch situation he was sporting and instead just curled up. "No one can surprise throw you to the ground if you're already on the ground."

Secretly Cora was kind of sad he felt he had to hide himself. It was flattering, if anything. But it was probably just a reaction to being lose to something female shaped. It might not be her at all. She didn't exactly have a lot of luck with figuring out guys if they weren't actively trying to fuck her.

On top of all that she didn't want to embarass Connor by making a thing out of it so she decided to mess with him instead.

Cora moved silently and crouched down on the floor, her face inches from his ear. "How much do you wanna bet?" She whispered.

From:

legendinprogress

"I can't get more on the floor than on the floor!" Connor sputtered. He still tried to hold on to the flat surface under him though.He should have known that Cora would have sort of secret way to make this even worse.

Laughing, Cora flopped onto her back next to him. "It was worth it to watch you try and cling on to the concrete floor." She said, sighing happily. It'd been a good training session. "So did you like your first lesson?"

From:

legendinprogress

"The floor is kind and would never throw me off of itself," Connor said, figuring it was safe to shift onto his back since she was looking at the ceiling. His erection was probably out of her line of sight, right?

"And it was good. Painful but I figured it would be."

From:

cora_hale

"It'll be worse tomorrow when you have to train and you're already sore." She said, grinning, turning her head to look at him. "Assuming I haven't broken you completely."

From:

legendinprogress

"No way, I'm not quitting just because it's hard!" he said, clenching his jaw in determination. He was not going to quit. "Besides, what else am I going to do?"

From:

cora_hale

"Glutton for punishment. I like it." Cora said and reached over to pat his chest. "Come with me for a swim to cool off?" She asked, shifting to lean up on her elbows and look down at him. "I'll buy you a space burger afterwards."

From:

legendinprogress

"A space burger sounds delicious," he said. He hadn't been here long at all but most of his food was only for nourishment. Also, he liked swimming with Cora, it was fun.

From:

cora_hale

Cora smiled, pleased he'd taken her up in her offer. She liked spending time with Connor more and more.

"Come on." She said bouncing up and walking away. "Maybe the water will cool you off below the waist too." She added over her shoulder.

From:

legendinprogress

Connor sputtered but didn't say anything because he did not want her to say something back in return. Instead he stood up and just... adjusted best he could and hoped that the water was really cold.
