Chapter 30
Jared
PRESENT DAY
Once my walk-out song starts to play, I know it’ll be my cue to start heading toward the cage.
I’m lightly bouncing on my feet, back and forth, and shaking my body out.
My fists punch into thin air; I try to loosen my muscles.
I’m tense, and there’s a small possibility that I’m a little nervous.
This will be my first official fight here in Chicago, and I don’t want to let this team down.
This first fight needs to make a statement, a name for myself out here.
Tod, my trainer, rubs my shoulders from behind me.
He pats them down twice. “It’s almost time. ”
Skyler, one of my new teammates, just ended his fight with a knockout.
For a moment, I thought he might lose. But then he came back, his punches were harder, like he wasn’t even in pain from getting his ass kicked.
Beau, my other teammate, will go on right after my fight ends.
After all of the fights, we’re supposed to go to an after-party.
One that the arena is personally hosting for us.
It’ll be a standard party that involves schmoozing with rich people.
If you want to succeed in this business, it’s not enough to just be a good fighter; you have to please the people who fill your pockets and sell your tickets.
“Paid My Dues” by NF starts rolling through the arena’s speakers.
“It’s showtime, boys.” I make sure that my steps are calm and not rushed.
I want to take this all in—my first fight here.
I look around, scanning the arena; there isn’t an empty seat to be seen, and the cheers are louder than my music.
People’s hands reach out and try to touch me while I continue my pursuit to the cage.
Once I get inside, my breathing starts to calm down. My opponent, who wasn’t far behind me, walks up to me and is already mouthing nonsense. The only words I actually catch spewing from his mouth are, “You're in my house, boy. I’m gonna knock your teeth out.”
My wrapped hand goes up and into a mock salute.
“Okay, big boy, if you say so.” I can’t help but smile behind my mouth-guard.
The referee is about to go over the rules of the fight.
I slide my white robe off, throwing it to my trainer.
I tap the inside of my left wrist, twice—it lets him know I’m ready, and my head is in this cage.
Once the referee tells us it’s time to start, we touch gloves and each take a step back.
We both pace along the sides of the cage.
I hear a name being called out, one that I haven’t heard in a very long time…
in a voice I… One I vaguely remember. I’m unable to keep my attention on the fighter that’s circling me in the cage.
My conflicted stare falls on a dark-haired beauty who’s bent over her knees, and a blonde woman who’s patting her on the back.
Kailey sits up, and the look she gives me abruptly takes me back to the last time I saw it.
When she was scared, mad, and looked like she was going to be sick.
“What are we doing here, Jared?”
“Well… Steffan gave me the keys to this rural fire station. He said it’d be out of commission for a while.
” I shrug my right shoulder, coolly, and look into her beautiful whiskey brown eyes, the back of my hand stroking her cheek.
Her front teeth sink into her bottom lip.
Fuck, I love how her body is always so responsive to my physical touch.
“I know how you’ve always joked about wanting to see me in that uniform he wears… ”
I step inside the older building, then turn to the right and flip on the light switch.
The front room is small, simple, with a long black couch, and a TV in the corner.
The fire truck is parked in the garage to the left, and the kitchen is in the back.
The layout leaves me to assume the bunks for sleeping are somewhere in the back.
Kailey forcefully pushes me down onto the couch, and my legs hit the cushions before she pushes my back against it deeper.
She crawls onto my lap, her bare legs straddling me, her face inches away from mine.
She kisses the right side of my mouth. “The only thing I want to see you wearing right now is my naked body. I’ve missed you too much, babe.
” Her small hand grabs my hard dick through my jeans.
I make quick work of taking off her shirt and bra while kissing her face. Biting her bottom lip, I whisper into her mouth, “I’ve missed you too. Can’t stop thinking about how your pussy rides my dick.” I give her top lip a quick lick, and it makes her body shudder against mine.
Kailey abruptly hops off of me and kicks off her flip flops, sliding her shorts and underwear off. I take advantage of this time to also strip myself naked.
“I’m on the birth control shot now, started it a week ago. I need to feel you bare.” Kailey slowly lowers her wet pussy on top of me, her hand guiding my hard dick, and her thumb swipes at my tip, coating it with the pre-cum before lining it up to her entrance.
I grab her hips and pause her movements—I need to make sure she isn’t rushing this. “Are you sure?”
“More than anything. I’m yours, and you are mine.”
That was all the reassurance I needed before grabbing her hips and slamming that pussy down onto my bare cock.
I squeeze my eyes shut, “Holy shit, Dimples, you feel too good. I’m not gonna last long…”
As if that’s her mission, she rides me faster and harder.
Her mouth sucks on my neck lightly, never hard enough to leave a hickey.
I grab the back of her neck and force her mouth against mine.
I steal her breath away while thrusting deeper and faster, feeling her orgasm come quickly, allowing me to follow with my own, and I blow deep inside her.
“Oh my god,” Kailey breathlessly moans into the crease of my neck. “You’ve ruined me. I never wanna do that again without feeling you blow. I’ve… I’ve never had that before. You’re my first, and holy shit, it made my orgasm so much better.”
“Kailey, you’re the first woman I’ve ever gone bare with. Now, I want you every time like that… But I have to come clean about something else.”
“Uhm, okay?” Her body stiffens on top of mine. “Steffan really just sent me over here to make sure all the outlets in this building didn’t have anything plugged into them, since they won’t be at this station for a few months.”
Kailey giggles and slowly lifts herself from my lap. My limp dick falls out of her, along with my thick cum sliding down her thigh. I grab my shirt from the floor and immediately go to clean her up. “Fuck, I really like this view of you.”
After she’s fully dressed and I start to button my pants up, I still my movements. “Oh shit, I forgot!”
“What?” Kailey’s throwing her hair up into a messy bun.
I point to the black camera that's placed in the right corner of the room. It faces directly at the couch.
She turns from the camera; her disgusted stare reaches my face. “Are you fucking kidding me right now?” Kailey’s face is pale with shock, and there’s a real possibility she might empty the contents of her stomach all over this faded blue carpet.
My face can only stay neutral for so long after watching the horror of her emotions change.
“Just kidding! They don’t work. They’re pretty much just for show.”
Kailey takes a step, backing away from me, as both of her palms go up to me. “I’m going to kill you! You just made me think people were watching our sex show! Asshole!”
“Baby, it was funny…”
“Nope! You’re an asshole. Go check on those stupid outlets. I’ll be in your truck, waiting for you.” Kailey walks out the front door without a backwards glance, letting it slam behind her.
Okay, so maybe I should never joke again about us being recorded while having sex… Got it.
A solid punch to the right side of my face frees my thoughts from that memory. What. The. Fuck. Why? How is Kailey here?
Before I have time to go on the defense with this fighter, he hits me with a triple and a kick to the side of my ribs.
The impact knocks me down on the canvas.
I look back in the direction where Kailey was; she isn’t there anymore.
My open-fingered gloves punch the padding of the platform flooring multiple times.
I’ve got to get my head in this fight, then I can go and find Dimples.
Tod bellows from outside the cage, “Get your fucking head in the fight! Go into attack mode!!!”
I jump to my feet in one swift motion and go right into it, putting everything I have into these punches. The sooner I win, the sooner I’ll be able to find her.
