Accidentally Yours, Mr. Stranger-Chapter 30: Rising the hotness in the gym - Part 3

"Well done!" Kyrell applauded her achievement. Although it wasn’t hard to hit the target, considering that she wasn’t using an actual gun with an actual bullet, it still was impressive.

"Let me try a few times more," Sienna said, repeating her actions. Each time she shot the gun, she got closer to the bullseye, and eventually, on the seventh try, she hit the red mark.

"Awesome!" Kyrell cheered again, amazed by her tenacious attempts. "Shall we try with a real gun now?"

Sienna nodded, eager yet nervous to handle a real gun. She touched one before when Kyrell had handed it to her in the morning. However, that had been just it. She had never operated one. Now that she was finally going to, she was thrilled.

"You should be careful, Miss Lawrence. The recoil force is strong and will push you back. Also, you need to avoid the flying shells and lead particles." Kyrell explained while Sienna listened in attention.

"Let me fetch my gun. Wait for me."

Sienna continued practicing in his absence, mastering the dummy weapon.

Kyrell wasn’t gone for long. He returned within a few minutes with his gun. He didn’t dare ask her to use her father’s or brother’s. Legally, she wasn’t allowed to use them until she had a license and firearm transfer registration.

"Miss Lawrence, here." Kyrell showed her the gun and Sienna looked at it with amazement.

"Am I allowed to use it?"

Understanding what he was trying to imply, Kyrell nodded. "Although legally you aren’t allowed to, I’m here to supervise and the risk is on me. So, you can."

"Oh!"

"But be careful, Miss Lawrence. I’ll be held accountable if anything goes wrong," Kyrell joked and Sienna nodded in all seriousness. She had no thoughts of putting him in trouble.

"I’ll be careful."

"Let me demonstrate first. The previous rules apply this time too. But there are more you need to remember," Kyrell added while Sienna’s eyes remained focused on him.

"Whenever you’re using a gun, check if it is loaded first. While doing so, your gun should be pointing downwards."

Kyrell demonstrated how to do it step by step.

"In real-life circumstances, you will not have your safety glasses and earplugs. So, you’ll have to be extremely careful when using one."

Kyrell took his position and raised his arm. "Again, your aim should be on your target. If you’re targeting your attacker’s chest, your aim and your sight must be in line. Otherwise, you’ll be off the mark."

Kyrell pressed the trigger and Sienna was stunned by the loud sound. It sure didn’t sound like that when she had used the dummy gun.

For a moment, she wondered how loud it actually was. Since she was wearing the earplugs, a lot of the noise had been suppressed. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Your turn."

Kyrell handed her the gun and watched her mimic his actions. Sienna checked to see if the gun was loaded before taking over his spot and fixing her aim on her target.

Sienna had totally underestimated the recoil force. When she pressed the trigger, she was pushed back immediately. If not for Kyrell holding her in time, she’d have stumbled some more.

"Are you alright, Miss Lawrence?" Kyrell asked, concern etched in his voice. "Are you injured?"

Handling a gun wasn’t child’s play, especially for first-timers. He had heard and seen instances where they had been terribly injured.

"I’m fine," Sienna mumbled, still in shock. Her body was frozen, and she trembled slightly.

"Let me take this." Kyrell plucked the gun out of her hands and waited for her to come down on her own.

It took a few seconds for Sienna to come out of her shock and when she finally did, she looked at Kyrell incredulously.

"Oh my God!" Sienna’s eyes were as round as saucers and she gawked at the man before her in disbelief. "What the hell was that?"

Kyrell just chuckled at her cute expression and nodded lightly.

"It was your first time, Miss Lawrence. You’ll get adjusted to it over time."

"I can’t be so sure about it." Sienna wasn’t confident. Her heart still shook whenever she thought how impactful the shot had been.

"Do you want to end today’s session? We can continue tomorrow."

"No, no. Give me a minute or two. I want to practice some more."

Kyrell was patient with her. He waited beside her as long as she wanted, enquiring about her well-being every few minutes.

It took Sienna a few minutes to adjust her mindset and try shooting again. Although she had braced herself for it, she was still baffled when she was pushed back and once again, Kyrell caught her. His hands snaked around her waist subconsciously in a bid to prevent her from falling.

Although she wasn’t wearing a crop top, Sienna’s loose shirt had risen when she raised her hand to aim at the target. And Kyrell ended up touching her bare skin.

Sienna’s mind went blank when she felt his warm calloused hand on her waist. Kyrell’s mind exploded when he sensed the soft, smooth skin underneath his palms and they both stiffened in their places immediately.

Sienna’s almond eyes once again looked for him, her heart thumping madly like a drum. Her gaze was transfixed on him while the man remained still, making no attempt to remove his hands from her waist.

They kept gazing at each other for some time lost in each other’s eyes. It wasn’t until they heard the pattering of footsteps from above followed by Frank’s agitated voice that they snapped out of their trance and moved away from each other.

Frank had no idea what had happened. Yet, he didn’t miss the tension in the air. Something wasn’t right about them and he noticed how they were avoiding each other’s gazes.

"Miss, is everything alright?" he questioned in confusion. He glanced at Kyrell suspiciously before returning to Sienna.

"Yes, yes, everything’s fine," Sienna replied instantly, trying hard to stop herself from blushing. Her cheeks were slowly getting hot and she took a sip from the bottle of water to calm herself down.

"What’s wrong, Frank? What happened?" she asked, diverting the topic.

Sienna knew Frank wouldn’t disturb her if the matter weren’t important. Something had to have happened for him to come to her in haste.

"Yes, Miss Lawrence. I’ve found out who was behind today’s ordeal."

Sienna’s eyes narrowed, her previous bashfulness vanishing immediately. Her expression turned sinister as if she was ready to kill.

Not just Frank even Kyrell sensed the changes in her and his face darkened.

"Miss, it’s the second branch. It was they who spread the rumors. Also..." Frank hesitated, his mind in a dilemma. He had more to say. But he didn’t know how to say it.

"What is it, Frank?" Sienna asked, discerning there was more to the matter.

"Miss, I just received the information. The second branch has proof of your involvement in... in... your family members’ deaths and they have filed a police complaint against you."
