“I never said I wouldn’t fuck you, I just have to figure out if having to tolerate you before and after fucking you is worth it,” she returned breezily, tendrils of her hair dancing around her face as she moved with him across the ring. She didn’t need to be able to read minds to know where his thoughts were straying just by the subtle shift in the look in his eyes, and so she drove her heel into his side to make use of the momentary distraction- that had him drawing his focus back with a look of excitement, one she couldn’t help but mirror.
Perceptive as she was, Mariposa was almost surprised by his reaction to her joking about his name, though she didn’t outwardly give herself away. Touchy, she thought to herself as she skipped out of his reach to avoid the suddenly more forceful jabs. She didn’t press the subject in the moment, it wasn’t any of her business anyway, but she did subconsciously file the information away.
Blaise’s stomach is as firm as the punching bag she’d been using before he interrupted her, and Mariposa can’t help but feel equal parts annoyed and excited by it- there was no fun in sparring with someone who couldn’t keep up, and he’d been the first in a decently long time to not tap out in the first ten minutes, but she also hated being at a disadvantage. “What are you, a fucking butterfly expert or something?” she asked as she twisted around, her swinging foot making contact with his ass in retaliation. “Where did you learn to fight?” she asked a couple moments later as they moved apart again, both of them circling slowly.
Blaise snorted as he took the ass hit and maneuvered to hit her with a similar shot. “What? Just because I know a fact or two about butterflies means I’m a lepidopterist or entomologist?” he teased her. Blaise didn’t have a particular interest in butterflies or bugs, but he was smart and he just picked up facts. Also one of the girls he’d messed with in college had definitely been into entomology.
His feet danced around the ring as he dodged more of her advances and he tried a few on her. Admittedly, he was pretty impressed by how evasive she was. He didn’t spar with women often, mostly because they usually didn’t take it seriously, but Mariposa seemed legit and he found that he was actually enjoying sparring with her. He’d have to make sure this wasn’t the last time they did it.
“Back home, kinda needed to know this shit to survive, you know?” he answered. Not that Blaise had a particularly hard upbringing, but being the big guy meant people tended to try and pick on him the most, so he’d used his size to his advantage and made sure that he’d be able to defend himself if need be. His hardcore training hadn’t started until after college, but that was beside the point. “What about you? Realize you couldn’t go all praying mantis and bite a dude’s head off so you wanted to be able to incapacitate ‘em another way?” he teased.
