Chapter 37 – Constantine
Ipushed another repwith the dumbbells. The burn of my muscles threatened to overcome me. But this was a battle I was good at. My will was stronger than the physical desire to cease the torment.
“Need a spot, cuz?” Adrian quipped, entering my gym.
Not breaking concentration to look at him, I barked, “Sure.”
I pushed through two more reps and dropped the 45s on the mat. Without taking time to properly catch my breath, I moved to the flat bench and shifted under the bar.
Adrian let out a long whistle, coming to stand behind me. “That’s a ton of weight, Conny.”
“Fuck you,” I snapped. That damn nickname. I ought to pummel him soundly for the repeated use of it. It was true he only used it because he knew it riled me up, but how was he going to learn if I didn’t mush his face with my fist?
I pushed the weight from the bar and brought it down to my chest, before straining to lift it back up high and slamming it back into the slots. My muscles shook from the stress. I swung them to get the blood flowing.
“You haven’t worked out like this in ages,” Adrian observed. “What gives?”
My wife is a queen, and all I want to do is screw her like an animal.“Nothing.”
“Huh, well, I was hoping you already knew what I was going to tell you so that I didn’t have to.”
I placed my hands back on the bar, but instead of hefting it up for another rep, I cut my gaze to my cousin. “What the fuck does that mean?”
“Yeah, so I didn’t want to tell you, but I think you ought to know.” Adrian squatted beside me, and I had to turn my face to the side to meet his gaze. “Yna is planning to murder your wife so the devil’s little spawn doesn’t kill you first.”
“What?!” I roared, rearing up and smacking my chest on the bar. Luckily, Adrian was quick and braced it so that I didn’t end up with hundreds of pounds of metal dropping onto my body.
I disentangled myself from the gym equipment and stood. My whole body shook as an adrenaline rush stronger than anything I’d ever felt coursed through me.
“Yeah, so...she enlisted my help, and I’m tattling on her. She’s gonna geld me, cuz.” Adrian shrugged.
“I’m glad this is all some joke to you,” I seethed, running a hand over my dripping face.
“Well, yeah.” Adrian laughed. “Considering your wife came here to end you and now the tables are turning.”
“No.” I swiped my hand through the air. “Not a hair on her head is to be touched.”
Adrian blinked. “So it’s true.”
“What?” I snapped.
“Yna said that you’ve fallen for the chick.”
I didn’t answer, just stared at him hard.
Adrian barked a laugh. “Wow, it’s true. That’s why she concocted the plan in the first place. She said you’re sleeping, not just fucking, but sleeping with the little hoe—”
I lunged at him. My knuckles collided with his jaw, and my cousin’s head snapped back. “That’s my wife. Respect her, and never make the mistake of calling heranythingdegrading again. Ever.”
“Okay, okay!” Adrian held up his hands, taking a step back. “I’m sorry. But Con, what the hell, man?” Adrian spit. Red-stained saliva landed on the gym floor a few feet away.
I glared at him, the rage in my veins not yet sated.
“You’ve fallen for her,” Adrian whispered, soft cackles bubbling from his throat.
