Seraphina POV
Phoenix I continuously take hits to the body, its battered and bruised. No matter how hard you come at me I refuse to tap out or lose. I stand my ground and I give, and I take pound for pound. I refuse to be anyone’s punching bag; I will put you in the f*****g ground. My knuckles are busted and bleeding, I am numb to the pain. I will f**k you up if you try to play me at my own game. You are in my yard and I do not play by the rules, step to me and you will f*****g lose. – Paula Gallegos Seraphina POV My name is Seraphina Cruz and I am 24 years old. I have long black hair, forest green eyes and I'm 5’4 in height. I may be small, but I pack a mean motherfucking punch and I don't take s**t from anyone. People on the street know me as Phoenix, and I live in San Bernardino, California. I have been on my own since I was 16 years old, my parents were viciously murdered in front of me. I remember that night my parents came to my room and brought me into their room, they hugged me tight, told me that they loved me, and put me into their closet to hide me. I could see through the keyhole and two men were beating my parents and then they were shot execution style. I remember the killers faces clear in my mind and that night I vowed to kill them all and make them fuckin pay. I have been searching for their killers for years now with no luck. I had to go into hiding because I was afraid that they would come after me. That was eight years ago, I have been training myself to face them when the time came to kill them. I have been involved in underground fighting for the past six years and I am the best on the streets. I have never lost a fight and I don’t believe in playing by the rules, I just enjoy breaking them. I have been alone with no family and it works out for me. I get lonely sometimes, but I like my space. I don’t like people and I guess you can say that I am not a sociable person except for when it’s fighting. One of the first rules of underground fighting is you keep your mouth shut and don’t talk about it. Secondly if someone yells stop, you f*****g stop unless I make them tap out or they fall limp then the fight is over. Two enter and one leaves, and I always leave no matter what. My fighting technique is Grappling, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I have always loved street fighting and I got into so much trouble for fighting and my parents sometimes didn’t know what to do with me. I had money saved and was able to rent an apartment for me and I can pay for my rent with the money I earn from my fights. I’m doing well; I have my own car a black dodge charger' I'm able to get the things that I need, and I don’t have to depend on anybody else to provide for me. I never got to finish school but I’m still smart, street smart that’s the only thing that I need. I didn’t like school anyways so I’m not missing out on anything. As far as my personal life I've never had a boyfriend and I tried to keep my distance from them, I can’t trust men. My first underground fight was when I just turned 18 years old. I used to watch many fights for the first couple years, and I tried to learn as much as I can. At one point I even had a coach his name was Tony and he took me under his wing, and he taught me what he knew. He told me never to trust anybody and to always watch my back because no one else will do it for me. He was the first person that I allowed to get close to me, and he was the first father figure that I had since I lost my dad. Tony is the only one that knows what really happened in my past. I don’t share my pass freely with anybody. But it was nice to finally talk to somebody else about it, it made me feel like I was not alone. My next fight coming up is with some dude called The Punisher. I’ve seen him fight before and he likes to cheat. But then again there are no rules in underground fighting. He fights like a b***h and I have no problem making him my b***h in the ring. I have a week and a half to train and I’m supposed to go see Tony tonight at the gym. Tony told me that there’s a new guy coming into the gym to train as well, and he wanted me to show him the ropes. Tony knows how I am and that I don’t like people, but Tony has done so much for me so how can I refuse him. I put on my black booty shorts and black sports bra with my black high-top converse shoes. I put my hair in a ponytail and threw on my black hoodie and got into my car and head over to the gym. As soon as I walk in, there are a lot of cat calls and whistles. I give the guys my middle finger as I walked by heading towards the locker room. This s**t never fails they have been trying to get at me since I started training. They know by now that I won’t give them the time of day. I see Tony talking to some guy in the corner and his back is facing me and I had to admit he was freakishly tall, and I think I probably went up midway to his chest. I go to put my things in the locker and get ready for training. I take my hoodie off and throw it in the locker and then have my hands wrapped and get ready to relieve some stress. I walk out of the locker room and Tony calls me over to where he is at and he’s still talking to that same guy. I walk up to Tony and there goes the fuckin cat calls and whistles again and I yell at them to shut the f**k up or I'm going to kick their asses. Tony said Seraphina this is Luciano and when he turned around oh my god, he was fuckin gorgeous! He was 6’4 and tattoos up both of his arms and he was built like a f*****g tank. For the first time I felt girly and I was like WTF!! I have never felt like this, he reached for my hand to shake it and I just kept looking up at him with fuckin goo goo eyes. Tony nudged my side with his elbow, and cleared my throat and I extended my hand out to him to shake. Luciano just smirked at me and said nice to meet me and that he heard a lot about me. I looked at Tony and he said Luciano had come from another gym, but they got busted up and he wanted to keep fighting. I could feel Luciano checking me out and Tony said to get busy with the training. I turned to Luciano and asked him what are his fighting techniques. He says he enjoys Grappling and I said okay then I guess we are going to have some fun then.  I told Luciano that I like to start out with stretching and hitting the punching bag. He says that sounds good and he asked me how long have I been fighting for? I usually don’t like to make small talk but for some reason with him I didn’t mind. I told him that I have been fighting for the past 6 years and I asked him how long have you been fighting for? He told me that he’s been fighting for five years now. He's won 104 fights and 10 losses, I told him that is not bad and he asked me how many wins and losses I have had. I told him I have 140 wins and zero losses, he looked at me with a huge smirk and said WOW impressive. He said you’re an original badass then huh. I look up at him and I said baby you have no fuckin idea; I like it rough! I winked my eye at him, and he laughed, and he said I'm his kind of girl. What the actual f**k, I'm flirting with him and I don't do that s**t but then again, he's flirting with me too. I told him we are going to do stretches and squats to start out with. I wanted to make sure he was doing it right and when he bent down, I had to bite my lip because f**k that ass of his I just wanted to smack it.   While he was doing his stretches, I started my set of squats and I heard a groan behind me, and I looked back and seen Luciano checking me out. I smirked at him and just kept at it. I heard him muttering curses under his breath. Thank God for my short booty shorts. I stood up and bent at my waist and reached down to stretch my legs and I felt someone behind me rub up against my ass. I felt an impressive bulge against me and f**k me it felt good. I let out a small moan and I wiggled my ass against his bulge that made my aching core get wet! Now mind you even though I don't like people I'm still a virgin but that might change soon. I stood up and I looked behind me and I asked are you comfortable right there and he just smirked at me and had this weird look in his eyes. I turned around and put my hand on his chest and told him easy tiger back it up a little. He grabbed my hand and said it's hard to concentrate when he's got a distraction like this in front of him while grabbing and spanking my ass. I told him yeah, I can see how hard it is for him as I reached down stroked and grabbed on to his junk. He looked down at me and said f**k feisty I like it mami. I told him let's go ahead to the punching bag now and he just smiled and said lady's first. I c****d my eyebrow at him and just shook my head at him. He held the bag while I went at it with punches, and kicks. I even knocked him back a few times which made me laugh. He said you are pretty good and that he was impressed. Then it was my turn to hold the bag and at first, he didn't want me to spot him because I was a girl. I told him please don't give me that sexist bullshit or I’m going to knock him on his ass. He asked if that's a promise. I told him to get in the fuckin ring then and I will show him. I told him don't go easy on me either. He looked at me and said okay baby if you like it rough, you got it. I got into the ring and waited for him to get in and he pulled his shirt off and f**k my cherry balls he was built like a freaking Greek God. He had tattoos all over his body and the muscles on him made me f*****g salivate like a fuckin hyena. I didn't even notice he had gotten into the ring when he leaned forward and whispered into my ear asking if I'm ready or do I still want to check him out. He blew his warm breath against my neck, licked it and I was temporarily stunned. He laughed in my ear and I looked up and this fucker seriously keeps smirking at me, but I have to say it’s becoming my favorite smirk, f**k girl snap out of it already. I smiled at him then and wiped it off as soon as it came on and I swiped my leg behind his and knocked him on his ass and got his leg in a leg lock. I could hear Tony laugh in the background and said I can see she got you on your ass already Luciano. He looked up at me and he said yeah, she did. I let him up and reached my hand down to him and as soon as he got up, he flipped me over and pinned me down on the ground. I was able to pull my legs out from under him and wrap them around his head and I applied pressure. He said damn baby this is my favorite position, but he also would like my legs wrapped around his waist too. I applied more pressure and I told him if you want to get out from between my legs you better tap out darling. He said nope I rather like this position plus it allows him to get to know your kitty better. Then suddenly, he grips my waist and holds me while he runs his tongue against my covered p***y flicking his tongue where my clit is at. I let him go immediately and I grab his junk hard in my hand and I told him if he ever does a bullshit move like that again that I would rip his d**k off. I stalked out of the ring and run into the locker room. I punch the locker because I don’t understand these emotions going on inside my head. Tony walks in and asked if I am okay and I said yeah, I just need to cool my head. Tony asked me what happened out there? I told him that I am feeling something in my head and heart, and I don’t like it. He said that it is okay to feel these emotions and that I am young still. He said that he could see the chemistry between Luciano and me and I told him that will only make me weak and vulnerable and I can’t afford to have that. I must remain focused especially for my fight. He said that not every man is the same Seraphina. I looked at him and I told him I know that but still I don’t want to get hurt and I don’t want to be left alone again. I can’t take that not again Tony. He came over to hug me and said that I am not alone and that I have him still. I hugged him back and I could feel the lump in my throat and my eyes started to water. I pulled away from him and turned my back to him and I asked if he could give me a moment and he said okay kid. I am here if you need me Seraphina. I told him thanks Tony. What I didn’t know is that Luciano was standing outside the locker room and he had heard our entire conversation. Tony walked out and bumped into him and looked at Luciano and told him not to hurt me or he would answer to him. Luciano nodded his head at Tony and said that he understands. Luciano walked in and cleared his throat and I turned around and looked up at him and I told him what do you want? He rubbed the back of his neck and he said that what he did in the ring was out of line and he apologized to me. I told him don’t worry about it and he said that he wasn’t right, and I told him just drop it already. He came up to me and he lifted my chin up to him so that I can look at him. He kept staring at me and then he wrapped his arms around me and held me tight against his chest. My body was stiff in his arms because I am not used to someone doing this and I have always kept my distance from this kind of s**t. This time I felt like this is what I needed, and I wrapped my arms back around him. I pressed my face into his chest and just stood there with him. Luciano asked if I was okay and I told him yes that I am good, and he said if I want to go out and get something to eat with him. I told him that I am okay and that I still need to work out and he said that if I want to go back out and finish and that he will be on his best behavior. He lifted his hands in the air and he crossed his heart with a goofy smile on his face. I laughed at him and I told him yeah okay and that he better be good or else I would kick his ass. I walked pass him and bumped him with my elbow and he smacked my ass. I turned around and gave him an evil glare and just shook my head and laughed at him. We went back and started sparring with each other for about three more hours and I started to do more stretches to relax my muscles. I told him that he is pretty good, and he said yeah you too. He asked when my next fight is, and I told him that it was in a week and a half. He asked who I am going against and I told him The Punisher. He grabbed my arm tight and asked me are you crazy Seraphina he is dangerous! I yanked my arm from his grip, and I told him to calm down. He said that he has seen him fight before and he cheats any way that he can, and he has already sent people to the hospital and some didn’t make it. I told him then I guess I better beat him then. He said that it’s not funny Seraphina. I told him thank you for having faith in me Luciano and that I am a big girl and I can handle myself. He said that he is going with me to the fight and I told him that I don’t need a babysitter. He said that he is going for support and I told him okay that’s fine but to stay out of my fuckin way.
