“Oh yeah.” I run my fingers over his sweaty chest and hesitate. “Sorry, was that too much?”
“Nope.” He sets me on my feet and walks us to the bench. “I’m into this conversation.” He drops down on the bench and pulls me onto his lap. “Tell me more.”
I loop my arms around his neck and kiss his cheek. “I’m glad you told me to meet you here.”
“Why’s that?”
“So I could see you all sweaty and working hard.” I ruffle my fingers through his hair. “Watching you drum that bag into submission did things to me.”
He places his mouth against my ear and wraps my ponytail in his hand, gently tugging. “I’ve missed you terribly. I’m going to work you over hard tonight. I hope you’re ready for me.”
A rush of desire pulses through my veins. “I’m ready right now.”
He glances down at my sage-green workout top that zips in front. His gaze travels lower to the matching high-waisted leggings.
“I like this color on you.” He tugs lightly on my ponytail. “It looks pretty with your hair.”
It’s such a sweet, unexpected compliment from the man who’d been steadily pummeling a speed bag speed five minutes ago.
My cheeks warm with pleasure. I pepper kisses along his jaw. “Thank you.”
“No, no, no,” a deep voice announces behind us. “This is workout time. Make out on your own time.”
Griff groans and nudges me out of his lap. We both stand straight as army recruits. “Coach, you remember Molly.”
He gives me a dismissive once-over. “Yes. Hello. Training isn’t over yet today.”
“I know,” I say quickly. “We just got in and I wanted to say hi.”
“Five more minutes,” he warns Griff, then walks into the other room.
Remy steps up and Griff embraces him like they’re long-lost brothers.
“How was your flight?” Griff asks.
“Well, Molly didn’t drool on me.” Remy’s lips quirk. “So that was good.”
I cross my arms over my chest. “Ha, ha.”
Griff shakes his head and shifts his attention to me. “I’m so sorry. I won’t be finished for a couple more hours.”
“That’s okay. I knew that might be the case. Shelby asked me if I wanted to go shopping with her this afternoon.” I didn’t want to let Remy know how much Magic’s dig at Griff about his “teenage girlfriend” bothered me. Finding something more mature to wear to the fight is my new number-one priority.
I run my gaze over Griff again. No, getting him alone in that giant king-sized bed in our room is my first priority, but finding a new dress is still high on the list.
Griff pulls me aside. “My wallet’s in the safe in our room. Take my card and buy whatever you want.”
I stand back and stare at him. “I have money.”
He frowns in confusion. “Yeah, but you’re out here because of me.”
“Today, I’m just looking around. If I see anything I want, I’ll go back and get it tomorrow.”
He still seems conflicted. “Okay.”

Remy returns to the gym with Eraser about half an hour later. After being surrounded by so many strangers the last few weeks, they’re a welcome sight.
