"Have you seen her fight before?"
"Not in a ring," I told him, thinking of the way she handled the man at the club last night.
"You're in for a treat." Davis smiled as he kept his gaze on the now finished fight.
"Oh, man!" The guy with the mic near the DJ booth caught everyone's attention. "We're in for a treat tonight!" he continued. "Our next fights are reigning champion Mercy the Merciless versus Don Juan in Ring One. In Ring Two, we have Donny, the tomb versus John The Lightning kid. And in Ring Three we have returning champion Olive Twinkle Toes versus Dana the Cobra." The crowd went insane at the mention of Rose's fighting name.Returning champion, huh?
"Why do you guys call her twinkle toes?" I asked Davis, yelling through the roaring of the crowd.
"You'll see. She's light on her feet, and extremely fast, dancing around her opponents. She doesn't get hurt much in a fight either, but she deals a lot of damage." Davis explained. We made our way towards Ring Three to watch Rose.
Davis parted the crowd for us, earning us the spot right by the cage. I saw Rose enter the ring with her hands taped, and a guard in her mouth. She shook her body as she jumped, loosening up. Her opponent was a larger woman with heavier muscles. She had short black hair and a serious look of determination on her face. Rose focused on her fight, jumping between her feet on her toes. I smiled, thinking of her name.
"Let's get their fights started!" The announcer said, as music played.
Rose and her opponent circled the ring, staring at each other. Rose kept her arms raised and ready. She had tied her hair back, showing off her high cheekbones and firm jaw. She looked radiant in that ring. Cobra lunged at her, but Rose spun around her, simultaneously punching her right in the side. Cobra would attack and Rose would dance around her. It was beautiful to watch the way she commanded the ring. She beat Cobra easily, only taking one punch the entire time.
"Come with me. We'll meet her over there." Davis signaled with his head, having me follow him through the thick crowd. Rose's ring had the largest crowd.
My girl is amazing.
My girl.I need to make her my girl.
I saw Rose in the distance, taking her mouth guard out. I rushed to her, grabbing her and spinning her around. My lips met hers as I kissed her again before pulling back and smiling at her proudly.
"You were amazing." Her cheeks had the most beautiful shade of pink as I put her back down. I rubbed the spot her opponent had hit gently with my thumb. She didn't wince, so I figured it wasn't too tender. Davis cleared his throat, getting both of our attention. He had an amused look on his face as he stared at us.
"Great job, Twinkle Toes. Let me know when you wanna do it again this month. Hughes has your money at the exit. It's great to have you back." Davis patted her on the back as he walked away. Rose turned, looking back up at me with those beautiful, enormous eyes. She pulled her hair tie out, shaking her head to let her hair loose. The way her hair fell around her shoulders had me wanting to take her back to my place and fuck her hard.
"Where to now?" I raised a brow at her as I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her flush against my chest.
"Your place?" She bit her lip, obviously feeling the same way I did. I nodded with a smirk on my face.
"You're perfect, Rose. Absolutely perfect."
We reached the car rather quickly after Rose collected her chunk of cash. I opened her door, watching her climb in. I may have sped a bit as I raced us to my apartment, ready to devour this woman beside me. The woman who I can't get out of my head, no matter how hard I try. She's consuming me whole, soul, body, and mind.
We entered the elevator in the garage, but I couldn't wait any longer. I closed the space between us, pinning Rose against the elevator wall. She stared at me for a moment before meeting my lips. For once, she was the one to start the kiss. I hungrily licked at her lips, sucking, and nipping at them. Her breasts pressed tightly against my chest. I gripped her hips as I parted her lips with my tongue.
I reluctantly broke our kiss when the elevator doors opened again, keeping my hands on her sides, guiding her through the hall. I kissed her neck from behind as we walked. She was panting with the lust I knew I was growing in her. When I made it to my door, I unlocked it from behind her, stepping into the poorly lit entryway with her.
The sound of someone clearing their throat made my blood run cold, knowing exactly who was waiting in the dark for me.
Shit,this won't end well.
Chapter 7
Olive's P.O.V.
Lucas froze stiff behind me as we both stared at the tall blonde in his recliner. The trench coat she wore had nothing under it, I am sure. She was stunning, with sharp features and wide eyes. She held her head high in confidence. It did not embarrass her to be sitting there in just a trench coat. Her legs were crossed, showing off their beautiful length. She was like a model in her beauty and perfection.
"Janessa," Lucas let her name slip from his lips, causing my chest to tighten.
I was an idiot to think he liked me. He has options and I'm only one of them. I had opened up to him today, letting myself feel so alive with him by my side. Being back in the ring was amazing, and I had been riding high since we left the warehouse. Reality slapped me hard in the face in the form of a stunning woman. She got up, her eyes clearly assessing me, not impressed by what they found. Despite feeling like an ugly toad beside her, I held my head high, refusing to show her any weakness.
"Hello, Lucas. I was hoping to have some fun with you tonight. I'll wait for you in your room while you take care of the trash." She crossed her arms, staring at me.
My anger was high, but it's not like I can say anything. I don't know how Lucas feels about me. He could very well choose her over me, so I refuse to make a fool of myself by saying otherwise. I scoffed, stepping out of Lucas' hold, shaking my head as I backed away. I don't need to hear him send me away. The small hope I let myself have about Lucas and me being anything more than fuck buddies is already crushing me enough.
