“As if. Neanderthal.” She smirks, pulling Zoe behind her and away from me. She walks up to the young and perky college girl Ky hired to man the desk. Most of the time, I’ve just caught her on the phone or filing her talons, instead of working.
I’ve wanted to fire her, but Ky’s determined to keep her around. Probably because he’s banging her, since I caught them in the supply closet the other day. Though, judging by all his female clients, she’s not the only one.
“We’d like to sign up for the self defense class.” I hear Lexie tell the girl at the desk, and a smile breaks out on my face. Lexie knows damn well we don’t have a self defense class set up yet. The little sneak knew I’d be here, and she’s deliberately brought my girl to me. I could kiss her right now. But of course, I won’t. I’m not like most of my brothers in the club who step out on their women on the regular. When I have a woman, she’s the only one in my life, and I haven’t had a regular woman since Zoe. And that was over a decade ago.
I had an attraction to Sage’s best friend who had been attacked by our arch nemesis Jose Ramos, and would’ve been interested in seeing where it went once, she was well enough to leave the hospital. But unfortunately, her injuries were too great, and she ended up passing away.
I shake my head to dislodge those morbid thoughts instead, focusing on the woman in front of me. I can’t help but smirk when I notice Zoe checking me out. I’m wearing the usual uniform for the gym, a pair of black shorts, and a blue tank top. But my muscles and tats on my arms and chest are on display, as are the ones on my legs. The rest, though, is covered up by my clothes.
I didn’t have as much ink on my body when I was seeing Zoe all those years ago, and I certainly didn’t have any of the piercings that adorn my body right now. The only one that can be seen are the nipple rings in both my nipples. And the tongue ring, if she went in for a kiss. I wonder what she’d think If she knew?
I notice her beautiful moss green eyes go wide, and force myself not to chuckle. Seems she noticed the tongue ring, anyway.
“I’ll look after these two, Tracy,” I tell the girl, grabbing two sign-up forms, There are no self-defence classes set up right now, but by the time Zoe’s ready to start, I’ll make sure it’s in place.
Lexie looks at me, shaking her head, but keeps her mouth shut. Good, I’d hate to tackle her if she outed me.
“Come into the office.” I instruct and both women follow me. Just as we enter Ky’s office, Lexie’s phone pings with a message.
“Fuck!” She explodes, making Zoe jump, and I narrow my eyes at the other woman.
“Sorry,” she replies sheepishly. “Riggs just texted. He needs me to come in earlier. Like now. Asshole.” She mutters to herself, even though the entire room heard her.
I watch Zoe as she narrows her eyes at her best friend. “You can’t leave me here.” She hisses. Lexie shrugs and looks to me for backup.
“I can take you home once we’re finished here.” I offer lightly.
Zoe sends me a tight smile, telling me without words just how much she hates the idea.
“Thanks, but I came with Lexie, and I’ll leave with Lexie. She can just drop me home on her way to work.” She looks pointedly at her friend, and it’s all I can do not to laugh out loud. The panicked look on her face is comical.
“Oh, come on. You’re not afraid, are you?” I throw down the challenge, arching a dark brow.
“Of course I’m not afraid.” Her eyes blaze green fire.
“Prove it. Let me take you home.” I can see the war going on within her, and I pray she returns with the right answer.
She takes a deep breath, crossing her arms over her chest, which pushes her tits up higher, making my cock harder in an instant in my shorts.
“Fine. You can take me home.” She finally relents, sending Lexie a murderous glance; and I force myself not to give her a winning smirk.
“Well, now that’s settled. I have to go,” Lexie announces, ignoring Zoe’s death stare, just as Ky finishes up with his class.
“Hey there, you two. Wasn’t expecting you?” he says, wiping his sweaty brow with a towel.
“Yeah, Lexie brought Zoe here for the self defense class.” I tell him, trying to communicate through telepathy to just go with it. But he must be off with the pixies because he denies, but soon catches on.
“We don’t have…Aha okay, the class will be starting up soon, and Chains will head it up.”
“Great. Now, I’d love to chat, but Riggs is blowing up my phone, so I’ve gotta jet.” Lexie replies, turning to look at Zoe. “I’ll be seeing you at home later tonight.”
“Oh, you definitely will be,” Zoe tells the other woman, with retribution in her eyes. Lexie leaves, but Zoe is still wound up tight like a coiled spring ready to explode.
I turn towards her, placing my hands on her arms, and I don’t miss the way she freezes slightly at my touch. I try not to let it get to me, and I make it my mission to track down the asshole who dared hurt my woman. Because that’s what she is. I just need to convince her of that.
“I'll help Ky tidy up before his next class begins, and then we'll head out.” I tell her. Feeling l an overwhelming desire to kiss her passionately as she bites her bottom lip. But I hold back. Mauling her in the middle of the gym wouldn’t be right, I need to give her time to get used to the idea of us.
“I’ll wait here.” She tells me softly, and I give her a smile.
