“You’re bleeding,” she whispered.

“It’s nothing,” I said softly.

She let out a shaky breath and I lowered her back down.

“I’m fine, little girl. I promise you,” I said assuredly, grasping the back of her neck and kissing her again.

The room emptied slowly, leaving the five of us alone together. The men assigned to Mila’s protection stood off to the side, waiting for my instructions.

“You fought well, my friend,” Cyrus offered.

“You just made me a ton of money,” James grinned.

“You bet on me?” I asked, raising a brow.

“Damn right I did,” he smirked.

“Word traveled fast,” I murmured.

“Not much happens in this city without me finding out,” Cyrus chuckled.

“Me either and once I did, I knew I couldn’t miss seeing the great Jon in action again after all these years. It’s nice to see that you didn’t lose your touch,” James winked.

Mila giggled beside me, and I squeezed her side just a little.

“One day, maybe you’ll get the balls to face me in the ring yourself,” I smirked, and his raucous laughter echoed throughout the gymnasium.

“Nope. I’m smarter than that. I’d just pay someone bigger and stronger than you to take my place,” James laughed.

“I promised Ava I’d take her home after this, but we should meet for a round of drinks tomorrow to celebrate,” Cyrus said, his voice light.

“We don’t have to go right away. Why don’t we go out tonight?” Ava replied hopefully. There was a slight desperation to her tone that caught my ear.

Cyrus cleared his throat and she quieted immediately.

“Would you rather me punish you right here instead, little girl?” he continued, and she quickly shook her head, blushing furiously with embarrassment.

“No, sir,” Ava squeaked, squirming beside him. Mila clutched at me, watching the interaction between the two. I edged my hand down her back and cupped her bottom in my hand, remembering the utterly gorgeous sight of her ass marked bright red from my belt. My cock stirred.

I wanted to fuck her again.

Cyrus grasped Ava’s chin and lifted it gently. His palm cupped her face while his thumb traced back and forth across her cheek. She smiled softly, saying nothing and everything as she leaned into his embrace.

“I love you,” she whispered.

“I love you too, sweet girl,” he answered, pulling her in swiftly for a soft kiss before he pulled away and turned back toward me.

“Tomorrow? McGuires?” he offered.

“I’m in,” I grinned. James nodded beside me.

“It’s time we got you to your suite, isn’t it?” I squeezed her bottom just a little and she flinched. Cyrus caught my eye as I wound my arm around her and pulled her to my side. His eyes sparkled knowingly.

“Yes,” she replied quietly.

“I will see you there myself,” I answered. The two of us was walked out of the gym. Her bodyguards followed.
