“Oh my god,” Maddie groaned, her body twitching with aftershocks.

“I’ll say.”

They discovered that the water did, in fact, warm up. It just took a while.

After they were dressed again, Jaden led her through the tunnels to the fighter’s entrance. “Thanks for dropping by, babe,” he said, giving her a prolonged kiss against the outside wall. “I’m going to go get my workout in.”

“Didn’t you already do that?” she teased.

“I missed some muscle groups,” Jaden replied with a chuckle.

“Well, now we know what we need to work on for next time.”

“Yeah.” Jaden kissed her one last time and vanished back through the doors.

Maddie leaned against the wall for a minute, trying to get her bearings. She felt thoroughly wrung out, still throbbing between her legs despite having lost count of the number of times she’d orgasmed.

A thought occurred to her then and she rolled her eyes.

Damn it!

We didn’t talk first!

She turned to the doors, but hesitated, fingers on the handle. “I don’t think interrupting his workout is such a good idea.”

She pulled her phone out and texted Chloe, asking for Hera’s number.

“She’ll know where the brothers live. I’ll thank her for bringing Arachne to make the clothes, too,” she muttered to herself as she started walking home. “They might not have worked the wayIintended them to, but at least I know that Jaden’s really into me. I’m not just a one night stand.” She sighed deeply. “I hope.”

CHAPTER8

Jaden letthe weights down carefully from his back press, barely making aclinkas they touched the single weight left on the platform. His muscles felt good, a slight burning that told him he’d worked hard, but not worn himself out completely.

He wandered over to the open floor space. There were tractor wheels resting against the wall at the side, but he wasn’t interested in them today. Instead, he lowered himself onto a mat and started his cool down stretches, starting with the large muscle groups and working down to the smaller ones.

At last, he heaved himself to his feet, muscles feeling loose and floppy, and made his way back to his ready room.

It still smelled like sex and Maddie’s perfume.

Jaden groaned, his cock jumping to attention in an instant and making him dizzy at the redirection of blood flow.

“She’s not here,” he hissed at it, feeling more than a little ridiculous. He yanked out some paper towels and wet them, squatting by the table, where the first mess of spunk was pooled. He scrubbed at it vigorously until it was gone, and then moved on to the spot in front of the shower.

After cleaning, his hard-on hadn’t diminished in the slightest, so Jaden got into the shower and crossed his fingers that the warm water would work again.

It didn’t.

He cursed it, and then hisstill not flaggingarousal.

“Fucking hell,” he muttered, grabbing the soap and lathering it up between his palms. The sensation of touch combined with the suds against his body made him shudder and he rolled his eyes at his body’s weakness.

“Fine. You want to come? Again? Go right ahead,” he told himself, taking his cock in hand. “It’s only been an hour since you came twice, but sure, why not? It’ll be a pathetic showing, hardly any juice at all, but have it your way,” he continued, berating himself as he stroked his hand up and down his shaft. In reality, he was already close and wanted to scream because it felt so good.

In an embarrassingly short time, Jaden’s body succumbed to pleasure, the milky white fluid shooting from him and swirling down the drain between his toes. He braced himself on the wall, legs trembling.

“You’re ridiculous,” he told himself. “You just saw her.”

Jaden straightened and finished with his shower, drying off and getting ready to head home. He glanced around the little room, making sure it was clean for Augustine, who would be using it tomorrow. He shuffled closer to the door as he was locking it, letting a cluster of people pass by him in the narrow hallway.
