“Sky…” His tone was laced with reluctance. “We can stop in on your brother, and then head to my place like we originally intended.” “Then it makes even more sense for me to come along,” she interrupted. “Are you expecting any trouble?” she asked pointedly. Gage hesitated, looking so unhappy with the idea she felt a tad insulted. “I’ll come with you,” she said instantly. “I’m taking you home, but I can’t stay over tonight.” I’m on my way over.” Anger lined his strides as he walked back to the car. Skyler flinched at the note of fury in his tone, wondering who the caller was. It couldn’t be considered eavesdropping when the other person wasn’t bothering to lower their voice, right?īecause there was no way not to hear Gage’s ferocious, “Are you kidding me?” He pulled it out, frowned at the number, then muttered, “Give me a sec,” before taking several steps away. They were out of the arena less than thirty minutes after they’d gotten there, Gage’s phone ringing just as they reached his car. My head is going to explode from all this screaming.” She winced when another roar went through the crowd. “So is that it, or are we sticking around to watch the other fights?” It was so rare, and so deliciously rewarding when it happened. She loved seeing his lips curve like that. “You say the sweetest things.” Her heart soared when he flashed her a crooked grin. “I wanted it over fast so I could take you home and f**k you.” “Nope.” He brought his head close to hers and lowered his voice.
“Hey.” His face softened when he saw her. His opponent hadn’t gotten a single swing in. She swallowed her irritation and stepped back to wait.įortunately, Gage reappeared less than five minutes later, back in his street clothes and showing no signs of injury. Since she didn’t care about the next fight, Skyler left her seat and headed in the direction Gage had gone, but the two beefy men guarding the corridor wouldn’t let her through. People’s heads blocked their faces from view, but she noted Gage’s stiff body language, and knew he wasn’t happy with the conversation.Ī moment later, he stalked back to the locker rooms. Skyler saw him mutter something to a man with ginger hair and a bushy beard. Covered in sweat, he hopped out of the cage and made a beeline for the row of chairs in front of it. Unlike the previous victor, Gage didn’t stick around to take a bow or pump his fists.
