My cock is still hard from the thought of how I could pull it down and suck each nipple into my mouth. The way she would scream my name would be close to ecstasy on its own. Not to mention how she would feel wrapped around my cock.

I shake my head to push the thoughts away. I don’t need to be thinking about that right now. I need to focus.

I had meant to warn Julie before tonight. To give her a heads-up on the dos and don’ts, but I got sidetracked. Then Yooper told me that Aragon demanded I claim Julie the right way, and shit went sideways. I knew I was screwed, and there would be no explaining this. I don’t even know if she will agree to what is about to go down, but I was so distracted on the ride over that I didn’t get a chance to warn her.

I suppose it’s better this way. She will most likely hate me after tonight, but there will be no question of if she is mine or not. Maybe if Aragon sees how serious I am about her, he will back off and go back to the shady shit I’ve been tracking.

“I don’t even know what I’m supposed to be doing.” She keeps her voice low.

“It’s not going to be comfortable, but I need you to do everything I say. Don’t question me in front of them no matter how badly you want to. Remember, there are men in there that want to hurt you. You know who you can trust. Me, Yooper, and Poutine. Sap too, but you haven’t met him yet, so just stick with the three of us for now.”

“Okay.”

I stop right outside the door and turn her toward me. “No matter what happens in there, remember that I will keep you safe. It’s all about your protection.”

She nods.

“Good girl,” I whisper, pulling her under my arm before I open the door.

The party is already going. The music is loud, and the air is filled with smoke. Men are already rowdy, but none of them are really drunk. Not yet, at least.

No, they all want to see the main event.

I pull Julie through the crowd, glad that they part for us. Julie keeps her hand in mine, tightly gripping me. I’m grateful she agreed to wear my jacket. At least everyone can see she is mine. Now I have to prove it.

We walk through the clubhouse into the large room we use for exercise. Tonight it is clear, though. The only thing in here is the mats on the floor.

“You’re finally here. You ready to get your ass handed to you?” Aragon calls out to me.

I flip him off, smiling when I hear Julie mutter, “Was that necessary?”

Moving toward Yooper, I pull Julie to my side.

“Yooper, this is Julie. Julie, you will be staying with Yooper. Don’t leave his side. Got it?”

She nods. “Where are you going?”

I pull off my cut and hand it to her. She takes it, holding it gently as I pull off my T-shirt. I smirk at how her eyes take me in. When I pull my sweats off to reveal a pair of shorts, I swear there is disappointment in her eyes.

Soon, Angel.

I started this out with noble intentions, but the more time I spend with Julie, the more I’m unsure if I can let her go.

Handing my clothes to Yooper, I cup her cheek. “I have to go handle business. I’ll be back, Angel.”

Leaning in, I surprise her by placing a chaste kiss on her lips. She looks stunned, but I can see the way her cheeks redden.

“Wish me luck.” I wink at her.

“Good luck?” she says as if it’s a question.

She has no idea what’s going to happen, but I do.

Leaving her behind, I walk to the middle of the mat. Predator is there waiting for us.

“Good clean fight. No eye gouges. No cheap shots. No weapons. No permanent damage. Winner gets the prize.” Predator glances over at Julie. “Do we have our first challenger?”

Flannel, one of the prospects, steps up first, but he looks nervous. I don’t miss the way he looks over at Aragon. Yeah, he was put up to this. I’m sure Aragon wants me to be tired so he has a better shot of winning.
