“You still want a tour of the gym? Or do you want to do something else?”

“We can go to the gym. I’ll be out in a few minutes.” She goes past me, then stops and turns back. “Could you teach me how to do that?”

“Do what?”

“Throw a punch. I want to learn how.”

I smile. “You planning to punch someone?”

“I’m not sure. But if I ever decide to, I want to know how.”

“Then, yes. I’d be happy to teach you.”

“Like today?”

I laugh. “You want to learn today?”

“Please?”

“I don’t know if I can teach you that fast. You’ll need time to practice.”

“We can have more than one lesson, if you’re okay with that.”

“I’m totally okay with it, as long as I’m not the one you’re planning to punch,” I joke.

She frowns. “Never. You’ve been so nice to me, Jace. I’d never punch you. I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for me. I’d be a mess if it weren’t for you.”

I’d be a mess too. Kenzie’s helped me more than she realizes. If she hadn’t shown up, I’d be in rough shape right now. Probably throwing up from all the alcohol I would’ve drank. Going through old pictures of Nikki and me on my phone, wondering what went wrong.

Being with Kenzie has shown me that Nikki just wasn’t the girl for me. Even if she hadn’t cheated, we weren’t meant to be. I was never really happy with Nikki and yet I didn’t realize that until I felt a whole new level of happiness with Kenzie.

“Thank you.” Kenzie hugs me, which takes me by surprise. I think she surprised herself, hugging me without thinking, forgetting that we’re both barely dressed. She’s in a skimpy bikini and I’m shirtless. Her warm soft skin is pressed against mine, her breasts right up against my chest.

Don’t think dirty thoughts, I tell myself but those are the only thoughts I have. I want to cup my hands around those large luscious breasts. I want to grip her ass and pull her closer. And I really want to kiss her. I almost did during the laser tag but then caught myself and backed away. But ever since then, it’s all I can think about.

Her arms remain around me, her head on my chest. I thought she’d let go by now, but she’s still holding on. My arms are just loosely around her so I tighten them up a bit.

“It’s gonna be okay,” I tell her. “I promise you, it will. It’ll just take time.”

“I know,” she whispers.

“I’m here for you. Whatever you need, just ask. And if you want to talk, even at three in the morning, just bang on my door. Wake me up. I don’t mind. I really don’t. I have a feeling the nights will be worse than the days so chances are, I’ll be up anyway.”

She backs away and smiles a little. “We could watch late-night infomercials.”

“I’m not sure my credit card can afford any more magic pans, but we could watch without buying.”

She laughs. “I’ll go get dressed.”

She goes in her room and I go in mine.

It’s good we’re going to work out. It’ll help burn off the sexual tension I can’t seem to get under control. Hitting a punching bag will distract me from the thoughts I keep having of Kenzie, or that’s what I’m hoping.

She comes out of her room wearing yoga pants and a sports bra. So much for controlling myself around her. I felt my cock twitch the moment I saw her. Those tight pants hug her ass perfectly, lifting it up and out. Fuck, I need to look away, but I can’t. Her ass is pure perfection.

“Ready to go?” she asks, bending down to tie her shoes.

Now I’m staring at her breasts. I’m trying not to, but they’re right there, right in front of me, squeezed up and together by her tight pink sports bra.
