I shot them both a warning look.Be careful with her.

With a tilt of his head, Bastian stepped onto the mat and circled her. He smiled, full of charm. “Don’t worry, we’ll go easy on you, darling.”

Her gaze narrowed.

I smiled. My girl wouldn’t fall for the charm.

Alessio moved in the opposite direction, silent, watching her. She eyed him and shifted nervously.

Bastian sauntered closer. “You’re very beautiful. I can see why you have our man tied up in knots.”

I swallowed a growl. I didn’t need Bastian commenting on how beautiful she was. I wanted him focused on training her.

Suddenly, he lunged. Shit, he was just distracting her.

But Georgie wasn’t fooled.

She turned with him and grabbed his shirt. I saw surprise register on his face. Then she hooked her ankle around his and yanked.

Bastian didn’t go down, he was too good for that, but he did stumble.

She shoved him and leaped back, well out of range.

Instantly, she looked for Alessio.

The other man rushed her. He grabbed her arm, tugged her closer, then got her in a hold from behind.

She lifted her legs, and he staggered under the added weight. They went down on the mat, and I took a step forward. I didn’t want her getting hurt.

Plus, I really didn’t like seeing another man half on top of her.

She didn’t pause. She kicked at Alessio—who turned to protect himself—and she rolled free.

When she rose, she grinned.

“Nice work, sweetheart.” Pride welled inside me. I walked toward her.

She was glowing. “I kicked ass.”

“You did.” I kissed the tip of her nose.

“Because of you.” She grabbed my hand. “Thank you, Nash.”

She was thanking me for walking her to the dark side. I still wasn’t sure how I felt about that.

But this was Georgie.My Georgie.

I’d do anything for her.

“Well, I guess we lost.” Bastian crooked a finger. “Time for a do-over.”

Georgie straightened. “What?”

I nodded. “Go again.”

She set her shoulders back. “All right, let’s do this.”

Bastian and Alessio attacked.
