Releasing my grip, he drops to the ground, unconscious. Owen and two men open the cage door and just as they’re about to take him away, I lean down to whisper in his ear, “You’re not dead yet, motherfucker, but since you think you can take what’s mine, you will be soon.”

With a swift punch to his temple, he’s out cold once again and dragged out by his hands. The crowd roars their approval and excitement as my gaze zeroes in on my second target sitting in the first row, surrounded by men ready to drag his unconscious ass out as well.

Slowly stepping out of the ring as Hanger does his thing, I accept the towel Owen hands me to wipe the blood and sweat from my face moments before Caleb and Lucas escort Ella from the tunnel and bring her to me.

Keeping one eye on Ramsey as my girl approaches, I notice the moment Blake spots her. She missteps when she catches the anger on his face, but it only lasts a second before her spine straightens, and she holds her head high.

Extending a hand for her, Ella reaches out to me but halts when Blake takes two long strides towards her. His hands balled into fists.

“I wouldn’t do that.” My tone is low and filled with warning.

He pauses and glances over at me, hunched over and ready to attack if he takes even half a step closer to her. It’s apparent that he wants to act on instinct, to hurt my doll, but he won’t move after just watching me tear Tank apart until he had to be dragged out.

“Theias.” Ella says my name with her sweet voice, and I move to her instead.

“Right here, doll.” Drawing her into my chest, I kiss her temple, my body relaxing in her presence but sharp enough to anticipate an attack from behind.

I spin before Ramsey’s double-fisted hands land on my back. My palm clasps around his throat and squeezes until his eyes bulge, and he clutches at my wrists for leverage.

“I warned you,” I hiss in his ear before dropping him at Lucas and Caleb’s feet.

“I got this, boss.” Caleb grins, putting the weaker man in a chokehold and dragging him out of the ring area.

“What’s going to happen to him?” Ella touches my chest with her gentle fingers.

Gazing down at the woman who holds my dark heart in her hands, I ask, “What do you want to happen to him?”

She gives me a little smirk before dipping her head and walking away. That leaves me to stay behind and watch as two amateur matches get to finish off the night, or to follow her swaying hips with a little more kick to them than usual.

My dick jumps in my shorts, and I don’t hesitate to jog to catch up to the teasing woman as she shifts her head to look back, and she laughs when she sees my earnestness.

“Spanking, woman. My hand and your ass have a date,” I growl in her ear while cupping one hand over her belly, and the other squeezes her firm ass. “Fuck,” I grunt when she rubs back into my dick and moans deep in her throat.

“Whatever you want, Daddy.”

My cock starts leaking, and all I want to do is force her onto her knees and smear the liquid across her pump lips before fucking her hard and dirty.

Tonight is about more than what I want, though. She’s dying for someone to watch her get pleasured by me, and I aim to give it to her.

Caleb, Lucas, and Owen, they’re anticipating it as much as I am.

Tank and Blake, tied up with their mouths shut, will be for my pleasure as they watch how I take care of her.

Whispering to Owen before he lets the others leave, he smirks and motions for Lucas to go with him to grab the two battered assholes so they can meet us upstairs.

Ella might be timid with them there, but I think it’ll also bolster her strength because she’ll get to own her sexuality in front of the man who beat her down until she ran. And Tank, well, he should have kept his fucking mouth shut in the ring.

ELLA

It must be the hormones.

Right?

All the crazy pregnancy things happening to my body were the only possible explanation for the way my nipples tightened and my panties dampened as I watched Theias dominate in the ring.

I was so hot watching him throw each punch at Tank, thwart his every move and hardly get touched that I nearly stripped down to nothing and ran down there to jump his bones. Now, I feel his eyes touch every inch of bared skin as we walk back up to his office. Caleb and Lucas are in front of me, and Owen got lost somewhere behind Theias.
