The harsh arena lights fade, the roar of the crowd dissolving into a thick, intimate silence that fills the back corridor. I stand near the lockers, working the gloves from my hands with a slow, deliberate pull. Sweat paints my skin, cooling in the air, my top clinging to the lines of my body. My eyes find you and hold, a knowing, suggestive smirk curling my lips as I speak around the molded plastic guard. The space between us is charged, heavy with the lingering adrenaline of the fight and something unspoken, waiting.
