I take a deep breath, ready to explain everything to him. But Luca just chuckles.
“Yeah, actually,” he says with a shrug. “Because we did go at each other.”
Max looks between us, clearly fuming as he seems to be formulating a response to that. But suddenly, his eyes snap to me. And as they roam over my face, the anger in him dissipates.
I give him a small smile with a slight shrug. “No issues here.”
He continues to stare back at me for another moment before he breathes out a laugh and shakes his head. “You guys are fucked.”
“Well, I was,” Luca says, drawing our attention to him. He then points his thumb at me. “He was last time.”
I roll my eyes with a sigh, turning back to Max and giving him a nod. “I’m ready.”
“Best news ever.” He smiles back at me, but then quickly drops it, glancing between Luca and I again. “But for fuck’s sake, learn a better way to deal with your issues.”
Luca glances at me in confusion. “Why? This seems to work pretty well.”
Can’t argue with that.
Max sighs and shakes his head. “Whatever. Alright, let’s roll. Show me what you got. And Luca, remember to control the hip and tighten up your sweeps.”
“Oh, I can control that hip alright,” Luca mutters with a smirk as we step on the mat.
“Really?” I ask. “Because I’m pretty sure I controlled it last night.”
Luca's mouth drops open as his eyes widen. “Oh my god.” He smiles with a nod of approval. “Fuck yeah you did.”
“My god.” Max rubs a hand over his face. “Just go already.”
With a chuckle, Luca holds out his fist and I tap it.
And immediately, the asshole drops low using his speed to rush my knees, and takes me right down to the mat.
I hit it with a grunt, knowing that was fucking payback for me taking his knees out last night.
“Good, Luca,” Max says from the side of the mat.
Fuck that.
I know he’s going to try to move into mount, so I quickly pull my knees up to keep him back. When he tries to position himself to my side, I catch him with my leg around his waist and pull him into closed guard.
His eyes are full of determination as his hands quickly find my hips and he applies pressure in an attempt to break my guard. And I have to bite back a smile. Because it’s exactly what he should do, and he’s close to getting it. But not close enough.
I grab his wrist with one hand, his elbow with the other, and pull it to my opposite side as I shift my hips out from under him. And before he can even try to pull his arm back, I reach around the back of his neck, passing his wrist to that hand to lock his arm against his chest. Then I grab his leg and roll him over, so I’m in mount position.
“Nice switch back sweep, Ty,” Max calls, and Luca grunts.
Luca lifts his arms, but I lower myself against him so he can’t get his hands between us. But he uses his fucking hips to bump me up and create space between my stomach and his chest, sliding his arm in. Then he bridges, pushing his forearm against me so he can shift and move his hips out from under me.
But as he’s on his side underneath me, I slide my hand behind his neck so I can change this conversation and start a sweep on him instead.
Except he lifts his knee to place his foot on my hip, and slides his hand under that leg to bring my ankle to his shoulder. Motherfucker put us in single x position. I assume he’s going to kick up right off the bat, so I bring my hand down to block it. But he grabs my wrist, drops his foot from my hip, and pulls my arm down while pushing my leg, fucking sweeping me. Effortlessly.
I look up at him from my back as he sits over my hips, and we both pause. And I take this moment to really notice how fucking good this feels. Nothing is getting in my way, and I am in this, completely.
Luca smirks down at me, then gives me a little nod.
I lift my arm, punching Luca’s ribs as I roll him over in a sweep and move into side control.
