Chapter 19 - Vadik
“Come, you need more training,” I told Tasha as I led her out back. I had to keep her safe and protect her at all costs. Training her further would ensure she could defend herself should I not be around.
My feelings gravely impacted everything I did these days. I was struggling to keep things all business. I decided to teach her some SYSTEMA today, but I need my brothers. As we entered, I noticed they had not arrived. “Wait here for a moment,” I said as I went to look for them.
It didn’t take me long to find them. Pavel was in the kitchen. I spoke before he even spotted me. “Hey, aren’t you coming to help?”
“Yeah,” he replied through a mouth full. “Let me just finish this,” he added holding up his ham sandwich.
Shaking my head, I replied slightly disappointed. “Sure, and thanks.” Sometimes I had to ask them two or three times, they seemed to have brains like goldfish.
“Bring Makari with you,” I added as I was leaving. Glancing back, Pavel nodded and continued devouring his sandwich. Returning to the training room, I saw Tasha sitting on one of the mats.
Taking a seat next to her, I tried to explain the technique. “Right, so we will be taking this session a bit slower. There are a lot of moves you need to learn, each powerful and precise. We will focus on the hand-to-hand combat section.”
Tasha nodded as I took a breath. I could see she was listening with great interest, which was good. “We covered a little bit in our training up to now. To some, it may seem a little goofy, but it can deliver powerful results if used correctly.”
She smiled turning her head to one side as she responded, “Why is it goofy?” I could hear the curiosity in her tone.
Grinning, I replied as I got up and held out my hand to her. “You’ll see soon enough.” Pavel and Makari came strolling through the door, and Tasha took my hand, and I pulled her up. “Welcome guys,” I said, turning to them. I just need some assistance to show Tasha some of the moves.”
Turning back to Tasha, I continued to explain. “The first thing to keep in mind is to breathe. Breathing is vital. You must be relaxed. You can use your own body weight and theirs against them.”
Smiling, I took her hand and folded it into a fist. “You want to make a loose fist. Imagine holding an egg in your palm. This allows you to use most of your knuckles. Instead of only using two knuckles, you will now use all of them to do damage.”
Turning to my brothers, I nodded. They slowly showed her how they folded their fingers and then mockingly hit each other. Tasha laughed so I decided we would join them. “Right, fold in your fingers and punch at me,” I said lightly tapping her shoulders with my fists.
Pavel and Makari stepped in next to us. They did the move repeatedly as we practiced. “Let’s move to the wall,” Pavel suggested.
“Yes, good ideal,” I agreed. Moving to the wall we lined up next to each other. “Place your fists against the wall and do a couple of push-ups.”
“It hurts,” Tasha said after doing about twenty.
Smiling softly, I replied, “Yes, but your fists need to get used to it. Doing it this way allows you to practice anywhere. It is very different from normal and will take a while to get used to it.”
“Right, let's loosen up our muscles before the actual fighting,” I added as I walked back to the mats. My brothers joined us. “Lay down on your back,” I said as Tasha came to stand before me. Pavel lay down before Makari.
Lifting her legs to my chest, I gently pushed them forward. My brothers did the same. They basically mimicked every move I made. Sitting down before her, I spread my legs and hers, so our feet touched. Holding her hands we stretched left and right, and back and forth.
After several more stretches, I felt we were loose enough to start. “Okay,” I said as I stood up. “Are we all ready?”
“What about the stepping stretches?” Pavel asked.
“You’re welcome to show her if she wants to try them or learn,” I responded looking at Tasha. She nodded eagerly. “Right then, I’ll wait until you’re done.”
I went over to the table looking at the couple of hand weapons. There were some knives, knuckle busters, wires, and other items. I may even show her how to use some, I thought as I turned to watch my brother teaching Tasha.
He started with her arms. As she lay on her back, he lightly pressed down with his foot just below her shoulder as he pulled her arm up. He explained to her the significance of each stretch. Then he moved to her legs, stepping on her hip as he pulled her leg up.
It was nice to see them interact. It felt like she belonged with us. Tasha was an easygoing person who got along with everyone. Makari came to stand by my side. He leaned closer and spoke softly, “It’s nice having a woman around again.”
Nodding, I was about to reply when Pavel’s phone rang. He stepped back from Tasha and pulled it from his pocket. Glancing at the screen, he turned and headed for the door. “I have to take this,” he said nodding at Makari to join him.
“Got to bounce,” Makari said following Pavel out. He sounded excited and had a strange grin as he exited. I wondered what the two of them were up to but didn’t have time to worry about it now.
Walking to Tasha, I helped her up from the mat as my brothers disappeared through the door. “You want some more stretching, or do you feel loose enough to start?” I inquired, turning my attention back to her.
Tasha nodded as she responded. “Yes, please.”
By the time we were done stretching she was slightly sweaty. Smiling at her I admired the fact that she was willing to work hard to learn more. “Right,” I said helping her up. “Now I’m going to teach you to absorb a hit. You have prepped your body with the warmup Pavel did with you. Now you need to learn how to use it.”
“Are there multiple ways to absorb hits or only the one you are going to show me?” Tasha asked. She was always curious and asked about everything which was great. It opened the door for us to talk more, which I enjoyed.
Smiling at her, I nodded. “Yes, there are a couple of ways. But some I wouldn’t recommend. For instance, you could tighten your muscles, but I wouldn’t recommend it. You can also keep your body loose and move with the hit. Yet, you may end up falling around the place if you don’t do it correctly.”
Taking a breath, I continued before she could ask. “The one I recommend is breathing in and out with each impact. So, when someone hits you, you inhale so the body can absorb the impact and exhale to push back. But I’ll show you.”
“Let me demonstrate,” I added grinning. “All you have to do is hit me.”
Tasha turned her head to the side smiling. “Hit you?” she asked half sarcastically.
“Yeah, come on, hit me,” I added stepping closer.
The first hit came out of nowhere. I thought she would consider it first, but she didn’t. Tensing up, I absorbed the impact but breathed out loudly. Tasha’s hands flew to her mouth as she gasped. Her eyes were wide with worry.
Taking hold of her wrist, I spoke softly. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just didn’t expect it. But generally, that is what happens when you tighten up. Let’s move on to the next one.”
She nodded and swung again, this one I anticipated, and moved with the impact. Stepping back, I had to fling out my arms for balance. “If you step wrong, you could lose balance and fall,” said as I straightened out. “Now for the last one.”
I waited as Tasha shook her hand next to her before forming a fist again. She came at me with all she had. As her fist connected to my chest I exhaled quickly. This caused her to pull her hand back.
“That hurt,” Tasha exclaimed rubbing her fingers.
“Yes, that is the idea. When someone hits you, you exhale. It causes a natural pushback. Inhaling makes it easier for your body to take the hit, and exhaling pushes back. Doing this quickly when you get punched has amazing benefits.
We took turns practicing. She would hit me, and I would hit back so she could practice absorbing punches. But also, how to hit and where best to connect in spots that could take a big man down. “Next I want to teach you how to disarm someone,” I said once we had a short break.
Grabbing a knife from the table, I stabbed at her. I pulled back as the point touched her, nicking the surface of her skin. “Hey,” Tasha exhaled loudly. “What the hell?”
“You need to learn to use my movement and speed against me. So, the next time I stab at you, grab my wrist and push my hand to the side. As you do this, turn your body into mine. Understand?”
Tasha thought for a second then nodded. I lunged at her, but she sprung back instead of doing as I said. I grabbed her wrist and turned her to me twisting her arm behind her in the process.
“Now you are grabbing me?” She said squirming in my grasp.
“Yes,” I exhaled over her shoulder. “You didn’t do what I said, did you? Let’s try again.”
Tasha swung round looking angrily at me as I let go. Handing her the knife, I spoke calmly. “Now stab at me so I can show you what I wanted.”
She took the knife with a sneer. “Careful, I might actually stab you,” she huffed.
Laughing, I stretched out my arms and waved my hands for her to come at me. She pulled her face into a knot as she stepped towards me stabbing the knife out before her. Shifting sideways, I grabbed her wrist and turned to her.
Holding her arm stretched out before me with her against my back, I felt her other hand shoving hard. “See,” I said. “It’s easy.” We practiced this for a while before I asked her to change the movement.
“Now come at me again,” I said standing with my feet apart. Tasha came forward. Grabbing hold of her wrist, I twisted her around, shoving her slightly to the side. This allowed me to turn her around. My fist connected her back between her shoulder blades. I hit as light as I could.
Tasha huffed as she stepped forward. I couldn’t help but smile and for a moment, I forgot her safety was the top priority. Moving in, I grabbed her around the waist picking her up into the air. As I swung her around, she laughed. Her sweet voice lit up my soul.
Placing her down, I tried to stop the fall but couldn’t. I watched as she fell to the mat giggling. Tasha rolled over and took my outstretched hand. As she came to her feet, I spoke gently, “Are you okay?”
She nodded enthusiastically. “Right then,” I added. “Time to defend yourself. Remember, if the move feels stiff, rather not do it. It must flow or else you may hurt your muscles.”
She nodded then stormed at me. Tasha grabbed around my waist and pushed me over. We fell to the mat with a loud ‘plop’ sound as my back collided with it.
We rolled around on the ground for what felt like about thirty minutes. I tried to pin her, but she moved quickly out of each grasp. Getting up out of breath, I waved my hands as I spoke, “Let’s take a break. Tasha was heaving and I knew she also needed one. She sat up, placed her head between her knees, and breathed in and out slowly.
She was getting better with every minute and every move. The thought of her being able to protect herself in some way was a relief to me. Yet, I couldn’t shake the uneasiness I felt deep inside.
There was one more thing that I wanted to show her before she was overly tired. Speaking lightly, I stepped closer placing my palm on her chest. “There is one more, the ultimate hit, I want to show you.”
She smiled at me. Trying to keep my emotions bottled up, I spoke as I demonstrated the move: “You are going to push from your foot through your hips. It’s a wave of motion that needs to pass through you, starting at your foot, up your hip to your chest.”
Pulling my arm back, I swung my body as I once again placed my palm on her chest. She tried and lost her balance toppling over a couple of times.
“Wait, balance on your one leg and swing smoother,” I commented as I showed her again.
Tasha laughed lightly as she tried the move again. It took her longer to grasp this one than any of the others. The motion appeared to baffle her. I was dripping with sweat as I slid to the mat with her landing on top of me.
I felt tense and was sure it showed on my face. Tasha looked at me smiling tenderly as she placed a hand on my shoulder pushing up. Looking into her eyes, I felt lost. It was like she was sucking me into those deep blue eyes, leading me to the dept of the ocean.
If I stayed, I was sure I would never surface again. Lifting my head, I started leaning towards her. I could see her also coming in. Gently, I placed a kiss on her soft lips. Even though we were sweaty and breathing hard, I could swear I tasted the sweetness of cherries.
Tasha’s hand moved to my cheek. As she leaned in more. Batting her eyes, she kissed me back. Her lips lighting up my sex drive like no woman has done before. Grabbing her face, I pulled her to me. Our lips were moving in sync as I inhaled her essence and she mine.
Her fingers fumbled with the buttons of my shirt. I felt her legs open as she half sat up. Feeling her beating heart against mine, I rushed to assist. Hastily, I got rid of my shirt pushing her to the side, I jumped up to remove my pants as well. Looking at her completely naked, I saw her smile.
Tasha Kkicked at the back of my knees bringing me down to the mat. Pushing me over she moved in between my legs grabbing my rock-hard cock. She started stroking gently. With every couple of strokes, I could feel her increasing pace. The faster she moved the firmer her grip became.
She grabbed my balls with her free hand squeezing softly. Lust surged through me as I glanced at her. I was flabbergasted but felt vibrant. Tilting my head back, I let out a loud groan as the pleasure filled me and boggled my mind.
Lost in the moment, I felt her take my cock into her moist warm mouth. Lifting my head, I gazed at her thinking how truly amazing she was. She looked good enough to eat. Her eyes met mine as she continued moving my cock in and out of her perfectly formed mouth.
Filling with ecstatic electricity left me paralyzed from the waist down. Moving my hand to her head, I took a handful of hair and pulled up slowly. The closer I came to bearing my soul, the harder I pulled. Lust filled every inch of me as she sucked, nibbled and swallowed.
Taking hold of her head, I pulled her up kissing her hard. Wrapping my arms around her, I stood in one smooth movement. “Your turn sweetness,” I breathed out Putting her down on her feet.
Holding her face in my hands, I stared into her eyes breathing heavily. Tasha beamed like the sun lighting up the ocean early in the morning. Keeping eye contact, I slowly moved my hands down her face and onto her chest.
Feeling devilish, I grabbed hold of her top. Swimming away in the ocean of her eyes, I ripped with all my might. Tasha gasped as the top snapped open. Without breaking eye contact, I pushed the teeters from her shoulder letting it drop to the floor.
A sudden rush pulsed through me as I felt my dick pumping wildly. Lowering my gaze slowly, I breathed in deeply as my eyes settled on her perky breasts. I could see she was breathing heavily as her chest rose and fell.
Moving quickly, I grabbed her breasts and squeezed. Tasha lifted her head as she closed her eyes, taking a deep slow breath. Moving closer, I tenderly moved my hands down her stomach, out to the sides, and took hold of her pants.
As I pulled them down her smooth legs, I lay kisses down her body to her stomach. Tasha lifted one leg then the other stepping out of her pants. Once she was also naked, I started moving back up. Kissing as I went.
Standing up straight before her, I slowly rubbed her pussy with one hand as I pulled her closer for a sensual kiss. Tasha’s hands went around my sides to my back. Pulling her head to one side, I kissed down her neck to her breasts leaving a passionate kiss on each.
Tasha pushed her hands into my hair as she exhaled loudly. Glancing up at her, I grabbed her ass and pulled her closer as I kissed down her stomach. Tasha took hold of my face lifting it. She smiled down at me.
Grabbing her, I lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around my waist as I went down on my knees. Staring into her eyes, I lowered her to the mat. Laying with one hand still behind her, she twisted her body as she pushed her hands down between us.
She pushed one around my side to my back as the other one continued downwards. Taking hold of my cock, she started stroking again. Lifting my head, I breathed out hard as I tried to control my sex drive.
Moving back down her body, I left a trail of kisses. Tasha pushed her fingers through my hair as I got to the top of her pelvis. She pushed my head down towards her pussy. She tasted so sweet. Liking her pussy, I felt her wiggle.
Lifting her ass, she spread her legs wider. Sucking her clitoris into my mouth I held it there as my tongue played a little. Tasha’s breathing was loud and irregular. Her body shook a little as I continued. Her hold on my head increased as she started orgasming. Pushing my tongue into her a couple of times, I heard her moaning.
Tasha tried pushing me away, but I held her down as I sucked her clitoris again. She came in sudden convulsions as her delicious hot liquid squirted out onto my chin. Glancing up, I stopped once it was over and started moving back up her body.
She was breathing hard as I licked between her pussy lips and trailed a line with my tongue up her stomach. Her body shivered by the sheer touch of my tongue. Pushing up to my knees, I looked down into her crazy eyes as she bit her lower lip.
Tasha beamed as she licked her lips. Grabbing her hips, I lifted her and brought her pussy to my hard cock. Sliding my beast into her wet tight cavern felt like I had entered heaven. She moaned as I filled her up.
I could see her body was still tender as she shook with every movement. She was tight as a clamp but soft and warm. It felt like I belonged inside her. Increasing my hold on her hips I thrust harder into her. Slowly, I started increasing the pace with every thrust. She shook her head lightly as she moaned.
My cock was throbbing as pleasure ran through me. Tasha opened her eyes. Looking at me she licked her lower lip before speaking. “Yes, baby, give it to me, fuck me daddy, please.’
For a moment, I was lost in her voice as my mind went wild. Pulling her up, I turned her to face the mat. Closing her legs between mine, I lay on her as I pushed my dick back into her tightness. Moaning as ecstasy surged through me, I pumped her hard.
Tasha pushed up her ass slightly moaning with pleasure. Taking hold of her hips, I got onto my knees pulling her with me. She arched and pushed her ass into me.
As the lust surging through me reached new heights, I lifted her ass some more. Pulling her hands back, I held them against her back with one of mine. I wrapped the other hand around her pulling her close before grabbing her hair as I fucked her.
She arched, pulling her head down to the bed, bucking like a horse. Letting go of her hair, I spanked her ass tenderly. “Yes, day,” Tasha breathed out heavily glancing back at me. “I was a bad girl. Bad girls need spanking.”
My mind was lost in a wilderness of pleasure as I pushed deeper into her. “Tasha,” I replied between jagged breaths. “You are amazing.”
Reaching climax, I could feel her pussy tighten even though her juices flowed like a river as she climaxed. Gasping for air, I rolled off her flopping to the mat next to her. Looking over at her, Tasha was flat on her stomach.
I reached over and gently slapped her bare ass cheek. She glanced at me, smiling like an angel. Laying my head down, I stared up at the ceiling as I breathed in slowly calming my racing heart.
Laying on the mat listening to her shallow breathing, my mind wandered. I had to do something to get out from under the Chernykhs. The idea came so suddenly that it felt like my mind was struck with a wrecking ball.
I had to do one last huge errand to replay all the debt left. I would do whatever they wanted even if it was dangerous. But they would have to agree that it was our final job to pay off all debt. Whatever they asked, I would comply no matter the cost. But I knew, it would have to be big and important for them to agree.
