Heat enveloped my back. Familiar tingles of awareness raced up my spine. “Blaze,” I said calmly, not taking my eyes off Jonah.
Blaze’s hand circled the back of my neck, applying pressure. I relaxed into his touch despite the fact that I knew it was supposed to be punishing—for what, I didn’t know yet. But I had no doubt I’d soon be finding out. This was the only man who could ever physically hurt me, and I’d still crave him.
I had the proof of that on my thigh.
I felt his hot breath fan over my ear and the side of my neck. “Do you think it’s smart to be this close to the ring?” he asked me quietly as the fight commenced. Jonah ducked a swing and slammed his elbow into his opponent’s gut. My body heated to an uncomfortable degree as I watched my man easily make his way around the ring.
I shrugged. “You really think Jonah would let some fucker get near me?” I asked Blaze in all seriousness.
“Anything can happen in that ring,” Blaze reminded me, as if I didn’t already know that.
I turned my head to look at him. His icy blue eyes bored into mine. “You don’t think I can handle myself?” I asked him. He just ran his eyes over me before locking them back on mine. I bristled, narrowing my eyes at him. “Pain meds are helping. I can move easily. I know how to deflect and defend myself, Blaze.”
He suddenly kissed me, his tongue sliding between my lips. I moaned into his mouth, my fingers coming up to twist into his shirt. He pulled back too soon—way before I was ready—and pressed a kiss to the tip of my nose. “Gotta run. Stay out of trouble, Montana.”
With that, he slipped back into the crowd, his hand disappearing from my neck, leaving me feeling cold and empty.
When I turned back to face Jonah, he smirked at me, pressed two fingers to his lips, and raised them to me. Then, he sent the knockout blow to his opponent’s skull, sending him crashing to the concrete.
I moaned into Jonah’s mouth as he backed me up against a wall, his hand cupping the side of my neck as he hungrily kissed me. After his fight ended and he’d picked up his earnings, I went back to his place with him, shooting Blaze a text so he’d know where I was at. No doubt he had a tracking app on my phone though. Blaze was extremely overprotective, especially after what had happened to me when I’d gone wandering off on my own, thinking I could get my clothes from my mother’s without help.
“Need you naked,” Jonah rasped.
Fuck, I knew the feeling. I’d been all hot and fucking bothered since he stepped into that goddamn ring. And then, that kiss with Blaze had set my fucking blood on fire.
I peeled my shirt over my head and then reached behind me to unhook my bra while Jonah worked on my sweats and panties. I cried out his name when he lifted me against the wall and pushed inside of me, his thrusts hard and powerful. Teeth clashed as we kissed. My nails dug into his back and shoulders, drawing blood.
“Fuck!” Jonah roared as my pussy clutched at him. His thrusts grew even harder, more powerful, sending me spiraling over the edge again and again. I cried out his name, my head slamming back against the wall as I came around him for the umpteenth time, milking his cock for every drop.
I slumped in his arms, my heart pounding hard in my chest, exhaustion pulling at my limbs. He pressed his lips to my temple. “Blaze is coming to pick you up in a little bit. You okay with that?”
I leaned up a little to look at him, feeling sleepy and well-fucked. “Why?” I mumbled.
Jonah ran his hand over my hair as he carried me to the couch, sitting down with me on his lap. I gasped at the feel of him still inside of me. How the fuck was he still hard?
“You two need time together,” he told me. “And I’m going to be up early as fuck in the morning for work. At least this way, if you stay at Blaze’s, you can sleep in, and he can just work from his office.”
I frowned, confused. “Is this how we’re going to work?” I asked him. He arched a brow at me. “You two just passing me off as it suits you,” I explained.
He sighed, leaning forward to softly kiss me. I relaxed into his hold again, not even realizing I’d tensed up. “No, baby girl. Don’t think like that. We’re trying to do what’s best for you. I wanted some time with you, and now, I want you to spend time with him. And honestly, Blaze wants time with you, too. We’ll do things together, but we’ll also do things separately.” He kissed me. “Don’t worry your precious head about it, you hear me? You just sit back and let us take care of you.”
