Eric’s arm tightened around Brody’s neck before Brody could fully process what was happening. The loose grip became crushing in an instant, Eric’s bicep pressing against one side of Brody’s throat, his forearm locked against the other, and his hand clasping his own wrist to seal the hold. A classic side headlock, but there was nothing gentle about the way Eric applied it. Eric rolled his weight, pulling Brody with him, dragging him across the mat. Brody’s body twisted involuntarily, his shoulder wrenching as Eric hauled him over onto his side. The movement was brutal in its efficiency, no wasted motion, just raw mechanical advantage. Brody’s hands shot up instinctively, grabbing at Eric’s arm, trying to pry it away from his neck, but Eric’s grip was already set deep. But Eric wasn’t done. Before Brody could find any leverage on his side, Eric shifted his weight and drove forward, using his momentum to roll Brody the rest of the way over. Brody’s back hit the mat with a dull thud, his shoulders pinned flat, and in the same fluid motion, Eric repositioned himself on top, his upper body pressing down onto Brody’s chest.
Eric’s weight settled like a boulder. His chest and shoulder pressed down on Brody’s sternum, compressing his ribcage, making every breath a struggle. Eric’s knee dug into the mat beside Brody’s hip for leverage, and his free hand braced against the floor, giving him the stability to crank the headlock even tighter. He wrenched Brody’s head upward and backward, forcing Brody’s neck into an unnatural arch. Brody’s face tilted up and back, his vision filling with the underside of Eric’s jaw, his throat, and then—as Eric cranked harder—the dense, sweat-slicked hollow of Eric’s armpit. The impact was immediate and overwhelming. Heat. The first thing Brody registered was the heat radiating from Eric’s body, an almost oppressive warmth that seemed to pour off his skin. Eric’s chest was a furnace, his pec flexed hard above Brody’s face, the muscle dense and unyielding. Brody could feel the weight of it, the way it pressed down from above with unrelenting pressure, the way it didn’t give even a millimeter, no matter how much Brody tried to turn his head. Then came the sweat. Eric’s skin was slick with it, a thin sheen that coated Brody’s face the moment contact was made. It wasn’t just damp—it was wet, the kind of sweat that came from sustained exertion, from a body pushed hard and running hot. Brody could feel it dripping onto his forehead, running down his temples. His nose was pressed upward into the closely trimmed hair that covered Eric’s chest, and then into the sweat-soaked hollow of Eric’s armpit, where darker hair matted with moisture clung to Brody’s skin. And then the smell hit him. Musk. Raw, masculine, undeniable. The scent of Eric’s body filled Brody’s nose with every shallow, desperate breath he managed to pull in. It was thick and heady, the smell of sweat and exertion and something deeper, something primal that made Brody’s brain scream at him to get away. But there was nowhere to go. Eric’s arm locked his head in place, cranking it backward and upward, and every attempt to turn, to twist, to find even an inch of space only ground his face deeper into the damp, hairy hollow of Eric’s pit. Brody tried to breathe through his mouth, but Eric’s pec was pressed too close above his face, and the angle of his neck made it nearly impossible to get air. His nose was smothered in the thick hair and sweat-soaked skin of Eric’s armpit, and every inhale brought more of that overwhelming scent, more heat, more of the suffocating reality that he was completely trapped.
“Mmph—” Brody’s muffled sound was barely audible, swallowed by Eric’s body. His hands clawed at Eric’s arm, nails digging into the thick muscle of Eric’s forearm, but it was like trying to move stone. Eric’s arm didn’t budge. If anything, it tightened. Eric felt Brody’s struggle, felt the way his body tensed and twisted beneath him, the way his breathing became more frantic. He could feel Brody’s nose and mouth pressed upward into his pit, could feel the hot, desperate puffs of air against his skin as Brody fought for oxygen. And he squeezed harder. The headlock cranked another degree. Eric’s bicep flexed, his forearm driving deeper into the side of Brody’s neck, and his chest pressed down even more firmly, bearing his full weight onto Brody’s sternum. The power in Eric’s upper body was undeniable, even if Brody would never verbally admit it. His pec was a solid wall of muscle hanging above Brody’s face, his lats flared wide to anchor the hold, his core tight and stable as he controlled Brody’s entire upper body with just one arm. Brody’s world narrowed to sensation. The crushing pressure on his chest making it impossible to expand his lungs. The suffocating heat and sweat coating his face. The thick, musky scent filling his nose with every inadequate breath. The coarse hair scratching against his skin. The unyielding hardness of Eric’s pec looming above him, pressing down. And beneath it all, the undeniable, overwhelming sense of Eric’s power: the sheer physical dominance of a man who had him completely, utterly controlled.
Brody hated it. Hated the helplessness, hated the smell, hated the way his body was betraying him, his lungs screaming for air he couldn’t get, his muscles weakening as oxygen deprivation began to set in. He bucked harder, trying to bridge his hips, trying to use his legs to create leverage, but Eric’s weight was perfectly distributed, his knee pinning Brody’s hip, his chest bearing down from above, his arm cranking Brody’s head back at that brutal upward angle. “Fucking…..Bitch!” Brody’s words were barely a whisper, muffled and broken, more vibration than sound against Eric’s ribs. Eric didn’t respond. He just tightened the hold again, his arm constricting like a python, his chest pressing down with even more force. Brody’s face was completely smothered now, his nose and mouth sealed against the damp, hairy skin of Eric’s armpit, his entire head locked in the vise of Eric’s arm and torso, wrenched backward at an angle that made breathing nearly impossible. The smell was inescapable, the heat unbearable, the pressure relentless. Brody’s hands slapped frantically at Eric’s arm, his fingers scrabbling for purchase, for any weakness in the hold. There was none. Eric’s grip was perfect, his positioning flawless. Brody could feel his own heartbeat pounding in his ears, could feel the panic starting to rise in his chest as his body realized it wasn’t getting enough air. He thrashed harder, his legs kicking against the mat, his body twisting with everything he had left. But Eric moved with him, adjusting his weight, maintaining the pressure, never giving an inch. If anything, Brody’s struggle only made it worse as every movement ground his face deeper into Eric’s pit, forced him to inhale more of that thick, musky scent, made him more acutely aware of just how completely he was trapped.
Eric felt Brody’s resistance intensifying and responded with cold precision. He shifted his weight slightly, driving his chest down harder onto Brody’s sternum, and cranked his arm tighter still, pulling Brody’s head even further up. His bicep bulged against Brody’s neck, his forearm locked like a steel bar, and his pec pressed down with crushing force. The headlock was now a smother, a suffocating prison of muscle and sweat and heat that Brody couldn’t escape. Brody’s breathing became ragged, desperate little gasps that barely moved air. His vision started to blur at the edges, dark spots creeping in as his oxygen-starved brain began to falter. The smell of Eric’s body was all-consuming now, filling his head, making it impossible to think about anything else. The power radiating from Eric’s chest and arm was absolute, undeniable. This wasn’t just a hold; it was a statement of complete dominance.
And Brody, for the first time in this fight, felt the seeds of doubt start to grow inside.

His shoulder drove into Brody’s midsection like a battering ram, the impact folding Brody forward as his abs compressed against the force. But Eric didn’t stop there. His momentum carried him through, past Brody’s center of gravity, his feet churning forward in tight, powerful steps as Brody’s weight tipped and his balance evaporated.
“Shit—”
Eric’s arms snaked around Brody’s waist from behind, locking tight just above his hips. His hands clasped together, fingers interlaced, creating a vice around Brody’s core. Brody’s hands shot down instinctively, trying to pry at Eric’s grip, but it was already too late. Eric’s forearms were iron bands, his biceps flexed hard against Brody’s obliques, compressing inward. Brody tried to widen his stance, to drop his hips, to sprawl—anything to keep his weight down. But Eric was already moving. His legs coiled beneath him, knees bending deep, hips loading like springs. His core tightened, every muscle from his abs to his lower back engaging in unison. Brody tried to widen his stance, to drop his hips, to sprawl. For mere milliseconds, it seemed like Brody panicked and was trying anything to keep his weight down. Eric, however, was already moving. His legs coiled beneath him, knees bending deep, hips loading with power ready to explode. His core tightened, every muscle from his abs to his lower back engaging in unison.
Brody’s feet left the mat. It wasn’t gradual. It was explosive. Eric’s legs drove upward with violent force, his hips thrusting forward as he arched his back, using his entire body as a lever. Brody’s weight, all 200-plus pounds of dense muscle, came off the ground in one smooth, powerful motion. In an instant, Brody was airborne. His arms flailed, reaching for something, anything, to grab onto. His legs kicked out reflexively, trying to find the ground that was no longer there. His abs clenched hard, instinctively trying to curl his body forward to protect himself, but Eric’s grip held him locked in extension. Brody’s eyes widened. He felt the apex of the lift, that brief moment of weightlessness where gravity hadn’t yet reclaimed him. He also felt Eric change his grip on him.
Eric twisted. His hips rotated sharply to the right, his arms pulling Brody’s body with him. Brody’s torso whipped through the air, his back arching involuntarily as Eric redirected all that upward momentum into a downward trajectory. All Bordy could see was the ceiling of the loft moving away from him fast until he crashed into the mat.
Brody’s back hit the mat with a sound like a thunderclap. A deep, resonant THUD that echoed through the loft. The impact jolted through his body. His shoulder blades and bottom of his neck struck first, then his spine, then his hips, the force rippling through his entire body in a single, devastating wave. The air exploded from Brody’s lungs in a harsh, involuntary gasp, “UGHHH!” Brody’s diaphragm seized violently from the shock. His mouth opened wide, his face contorting as his body tried desperately to pull in oxygen that wouldn’t come. His abs, which had been so tight and controlled moments before, spasmed and flattened against the sudden vacuum in his chest. His arms splayed out to his sides, palms flat against the mat, fingers twitching. His legs bent at the knees, feet raised in the air like a dead bug, his body instinctively trying to curl inward but unable to coordinate the movement. His head throbbed from the direct impact it had taken, eyes squeezed shut, jaw clenched as he fought to breathe.
Eric landed on top of him, his weight pressing down across Brody’s torso, pinning him in place. He could feel Brody’s chest heaving beneath him, or trying to. The rise and fall was shallow, stuttering, the rhythm broken by the force of the slam. Brody’s eyes opened slowly, unfocused, staring up at the ceiling. His lips parted, a thin wheeze escaping as his diaphragm finally unlocked enough to let a sliver of air back in. His abs trembled with the effort, still tight but no longer controlled. Just reactive. Survival mode.
Eric didn’t waste the moment. He shifted his weight forward, driving his hips down into Brody’s midsection, using his body as a weapon. His forearms braced on either side of Brody’s head, trapping him, but his core was doing the real work: pressing, compressing, keeping Brody pinned flat against the mat. Brody’s body convulsed slightly beneath him, a reflexive attempt to buck, but there was no power behind it. No coordination. Eric drove his forearm down across Brody’s abs, striking hard and then pressing with methodical force, grinding into the already-damaged muscle. Brody’s mouth opened in a silent gasp, his body trying to fold around the pressure but unable to move. Eric held it there for a beat, two, feeling Brody’s ribs expand and contract in shallow, desperate attempts to breathe. Then he shifted, sliding into a tighter side control, his knee driving up toward Brody’s hip, his arm wrapping around Brody’s neck in a loose but controlling grip. He could feel the tension in Brody’s body, the stunned, winded stillness of someone who was dazed by the throw, if only for a moment. A moment Eric would use to his advantage.
Brody’s chest rose again, deeper this time, a ragged inhale that sounded like it hurt. His eyes shifted, finally focusing on Eric’s face above him. “Fuck,” Brody rasped, the word barely audible. Eric didn’t speak. He continued to move quickly and methodically, not waiting to see how Brody would react.

Because a knife is really only any good if your opponent is unarmed, isn’t it? You never want to get in a fight where you both have knives. Even if your opponent has no idea what they’re doing, you’re still going to get hurt.

Brody’s head snapped up. His eyes locked onto Eric’s, and whatever restraint had been there before was gone. Just rage. Pure and simple. “Fuck this,” Brody growled. He came forward hard, throwing a right-handed punch with everything behind it. Eric moved his head, felt the knuckles graze past his temple. Brody didn’t stop. Didn’t reset. Another punch, wild and heavy, chasing Eric as he stepped back. Then another. Brody was swinging now, not setting anything up, just trying to land something that would hurt.
Eric kept his hands up and moved. Back. Angle off. Create space. His breathing stayed even. His eyes stayed on Brody’s chest, watching the way his shoulders telegraphed each strike before it came. Brody pressed forward, throwing a low kick that cracked into Eric’s thigh. Eric absorbed it, shifted his weight, and kept moving. Brody followed immediately with a hook aimed at Eric’s head. Eric ducked under it and circled left. Brody’s breathing was already getting heavier. His punches were coming faster and stronger, though also a tad sloppier.
“Stand still!” Brody snarled. He lunged forward with a knee. Eric pivoted, let it glance off his hip, then stepped back again as Brody threw an overhand right that cut through empty air. Brody’s anger was written all over him. Eric could see it clearly in the tightness of his jaw and in the way his shoulders hunched forward with each failed strike. He wasn’t fighting anymore. He was hunting. Eric stayed calm. He circled, hands up, feet light. Watching. Waiting. Brody came again. A straight punch. Eric slipped it. A hook. Eric leaned back, felt the wind of it pass his face. Brody’s chest was heaving now, his abs still tight from the earlier kick, but his movements were getting looser. Wilder. He threw another combination, all of it committed, all of it trying to close the distance while he landed something clean to take down Eric. Eric blocked the jab with his forearm, absorbed the cross, ducked the hook. He kept moving, kept his guard high, never planted his feet to trade.
“You gonna run all day?” Brody spat, stepping forward again.
Eric didn’t answer. He just circled right, staying mobile. Brody cut him off with another low kick that landed solidly against Eric’s thigh. Eric’s leg buckled slightly, but he reset and kept moving. Brody pressed harder. A straight left. Eric parried it. A right hook. Eric leaned back. A front kick aimed at his midsection. Eric twisted, let it slide past. Brody was breathing hard now. His chest rose and fell with each exhale, sweat starting to bead on his forehead. But he wasn’t slowing down. If anything, he was getting more aggressive. More chaotic. Another jab. Eric slipped it. Another cross. Eric blocked it. Brody followed with a left hook, throwing his whole body behind it, trying to catch Eric as he circled. Eric saw it coming. He raised his forearm and absorbed the impact. The force rattled through his arm, but he held firm.
Eric grinned ever so slightly as he saw Brody’s weight become too far forward, his hips now overextended, and his right side exposed. With his balance committed to the punch, Brody’s feet were set just a fraction too wide, causing his center of gravity to tip forward. Eric’s eyes sharpened. His breath steadied. He dropped his level and exploded forward.
