Eliot arrived at the gym a few minutes after Alex. He went inside and looked around before zeroing in on her. He made his way over to her and greeted her with a nod.
He knew she worked out. She'd mentioned running every day, and she had well toned muscles. He could appreciate that in anyone, and it helped that he found Alex attractive. Not just in looks, he liked her personality too, and found he actually let himself relax around her.
Well, there would be no relaxing this time. At least not for a while, not until they were both spent, He was curious to see how skilled she was in the ring. Whatever her training, he didn't doubt she could keep up a good pace. He'd probably start off slow, feel her out and adjust his game accordingly.
He was really looking forward to sparring with her. He took the hair band from his wrist and pulled his hair back in a neat pony tail. It wouldn't take long for the shorter hair around his face to work itself loose, but the more he kept pulled back, the less it would kink up into unmanageable curls.
