You cheated

As I faced off against Killian, our playful banter flowed easily between us, each teasing remark and laugh adding to the thrill of our sparring match. However, as the competition wore on, I couldn't help but feel a rush of flustered excitement.

His relentless teasing about my curves and the way I moved had my heart racing in a way that made it hard to focus on the match. Slowly, I realized that my competitive spirit was fading, overshadowed by something else entirely.

"Killian!" I huffed, trying to sound annoyed, but I couldn't suppress the smile that tugged at the corners of my lips.

This wasn't just a sparring session; it felt like a delightful dance filled with swords and flirtation. And, I was surprisingly enjoying every single moment.

"Stop it! This isn't a game!" I exclaimed, my voice a mixture of laughter and frustration. I meant it, yet part of me loved the way he made me feel.
