he past week had felt like a blur. So much had happened.
Kenna was in the process of moving in with me. When I wasn't at the gym training, her brothers and I were at her apartment clearing everything out.
She hadn't been back, and that was just fine with me. I didn't want her to have to relive that night. She had been through enough. It was time for her to be happy, and I did everything I had to in order to make sure that happened.
We had our first family dinner at Conor's and Finn's place.
Kenna was right. We needed to start making some happy memories again. I would like to say dinner went great, but I'd be lying to myself.
Hell, I had watched my best friend grow angry at the world. He was quiet, working out even more than usual. From what I could tell, he hadn't been able to let go of what had happened to his sister.
I knew Kenna saw it too and was worried about him.
Conor's eyes had turned cold, and like Kenna, I was concerned Conor was going to do something stupid.
Tonight, though, was a night to celebrate. Tonight were the MMA awards, and not only was I up for an award, but so was the gym that Conor, Finn, and Mackenna owned.
Kenna had never expected to own a part of the gym. And she was shocked that her dad had her own it with her brothers. At the dinner the other night, she mentioned she wanted to let Conor and Finn have her shares, saying that it should be theirs, and she never wanted it.
Neither Conor nor Finn would hear of it.
Conor had shut her down immediately. So, Kenna chose not to push the subject at dinner and later told me that she'd let it be for now, at least, until Conor was out of this rage-state he was in.
It was still morning, and the awards were not until later tonight, so I was at the gym getting a workout in with Finn. Usually, Conor was there, but I'd not seen him, so I turned to Finn.
"Where's Conor?"I asked. "He's always here."
Even though we hadn't talked about how Conor had been handling things lately, I knew Finn was just as worried as Kenna and me.
"I haven't seen him since yesterday. He wasn't home this morning. And it looked like he didn't sleep in his bed. Maybe he hooked up with a chick last night."
I shrugged my shoulders, agreeing. There had been plenty of times Conor hadn't come home and spent the night at some girl's place, but this was the first time he hadn't come to the gym.
Finn and I both continued our workouts without any additional discussion with Conor. When we were done, I grabbed my bag to head home. I decided it was better to shower there, so I could get ready for the awards. I said bye to Finn and told him I would see him tonight. I had a car picking Kenna and me up in a few hours, giving me plenty of time to get ready.
"I'll see you tonight, Finn." I grabbed my bag and headed toward the door.
"All right, take care." Finn wiped his forehead with a towel.
"I've got a car picking up Kenna and me in a few hours, so I have plenty of time to get ready," I added, turning back to him.
"Sounds good. See you at the awards," Finn said with a nod.
"Definitely," I replied before heading out of the gym.
I grew up in a mobile home park with a mother who was murdered by his father. Now, here I was in the prime of my career, making seven figures and up for an award. The best part of it all was that the woman I'd loved since I was a teenager was just through the front door, and she loved me. At this moment, life could not have been any more perfect.
When I shut the front door, I could hear the shower running and the sweet voice that came from the strongest woman I'd ever met. I made my way to her voice. As I stepped into the bathroom, she turned and gave me her beautiful emerald eyes. I took in her gorgeous silhouette. I removed my shirt, shoes, socks, and shorts. I opened the glass door to the shower, never taking my eyes off her.
I stepped towards her, placing my hands on her hips and lifting her up. Her legs wrapped around my waist, and I pinned her against the shower wall. As I pinned her to the wall, I grabbed her wrists and lifted her arms over her head. I brought my mouth to her perked nipple and sucked, bringing my other hand to massage her breast. After sucking her nipple, I bit and released, bringing my mouth to her other nipple to show the same attention.
My hands trailed down her ribs and to her hips. When both reached her hips, I released her legs and dropped to my knees. My tongue swiped between her folds, and I heard her gasp.
I grabbed her leg and brought it over my shoulder. I kissed the inside of her thigh and brought my mouth back to her heat. I began to lick, suck, and bite as if this were my last meal.
