“A job in security? If so, I’m happy to be your bodyguard.” My gaze glides over his muscular body that fills out his suit.

“You’re the only one I’d hire to do the job because of your unique qualifications.” He stops, turning toward me, his finger going beneath my chin and tilting it up. His lips lower to mine, a low moan escaping me.

“That sure doesn’t look like work.” Bryan’s voice comes from behind us, making me laugh as I pull away from Will’s lips.

“Sure it is. She needed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation,” Will deadpans.

I shake my head. “He’s in rare form today, Bryan.”

Bryan grins, shoving his hands in his pocket. “So I see.” His gaze slides to Will. “Is this bring your wife to work day?”

Will laughs as I say, “I’m not technically—”

“Yes,” Will cuts me off, sliding his arm around me. “I may hire her as my bodyguard so she can accompany me daily.”

Bryan groans as I laugh. “No offense, Everleigh, but if you are Will’s bodyguard, he won’t get shit done.” He looks at Will, his eyes dancing with mischief. “Let me rephrase that. You’ll be the only thing getting done around here.”

Will and I burst into laughter.

“You’re not wrong,” Will says before dipping his head, nuzzling my neck.

Bryan shakes his head. “Speaking of bodyguards… Have you heard from your dad or Maverick?”

Will smirks, nodding. “Is this about Savage Rob?”

Bryan laughs. “Sure is.”

My head swivels between Bryan and Will. “Who is Savage Rob?”

Will’s smirk grows and he rolls his eyes.

Bryan studies his face before his eyes lock with mine. “He’s an asshole who thinks he’s tough. He mouthed off to Will in public several times, but refuses to fight Will in the ring. Now he’s running his mouth, saying Will is too pussy whipped to fight him.”

Anger courses through me as I look up at Will. “That just means Will needs to get his ass in the ring and beat the shit out of him. His mouth won’t run after that.”

Will looks down at me. “Are you good with me fighting?”

Cocking a brow, I search his face. “Why wouldn’t I be? I have complete faith in your abilities.” I hold up a finger. “But there’s one caveat. I accompany you to the ring and stay outside for your fight like you did mine.”

Will shrugs. “I’m good with that.”

Bryan pulls out his phone. “I’ll text Maverick and set it up.”

“Wait. Do you think the pussy will step inside the ring? From what you’re saying…”

Bryan looks up from his phone, grinning. “I’m taking care of that. I know how I can get him riled up so he’ll agree to the fight.”

I bounce on my feet lightly. “I’m excited to see you fight. You’ve seen me fight, but I’ve never seen you… well, I’ve seen you spar with Bryan, but it’s not the same as stepping into the underground ring.”

Will chuckles, pulling me against him. “Think I’ll win?”

“Hell yes. I have no doubt.” Leaning on my tiptoes, I press my lips against his.

“Thanks for the confidence, love.”

“Always, my love.”

I push through the doors of the coffee shop, a wide smile lighting up my face when my eyes land on my brother. His brown head is bent over his phone, his lips quirking up from whatever he’s reading. As I move toward him, his head lifts, his green eyes brightening when they land on me.
