Page 17 of Make You Want Me

“No,” Lucian says with more finality than I’ve ever heard in his voice. When he invited me to ride with him, I could tell he wasn’t happy about Nox’s decision to fight here tonight.?

“Who are you fighting?” Colton asks him.?

“No clue… Some dude they call Bent Dick,” Nox says nonchalantly, until we all start laughing, and he can’t help but crack a smile.?

That’s the thing about Nox… he doesn’t smile much, but when he does, you know there is nothing fake about it.?

It’s genuine, it's sexy, it’s beautiful… and it's a weakness I don’t like having.?

Ben moves in, throwing his arm around my shoulders again. “Wait, that’s really his ring name?”?

The scowl on Nox’s face is back in place as he looks at where Ben’s hand rests on my upper arm.?

“I kinda want to see it.” Frankie chuckles, and I wiggle out from under Ben to stand beside her and pretend to be looking for this “Bent Dick” character.?

Someone hollers out, “Five minutes,” and Lennox starts bouncing on his toes again. This is not the typical fight setting he’s used to, but he’s trying to keep himself warm.?

I see mats over on the ground, where I assume the fight will be.?

“Are you allowed to grapple? Or is this just boxing?” I ask, knowing he’s a hell of a boxer, but a lot of people can throw a punch. However, hanging with him on the floor will be a totally different story for a non-trained fighter. Especially against someone like Nox.?

I see his Adam’s apple bob as he swallows. “Anything goes in the underground.”?

His confirmation of the rumors I have heard cause a spike in my heart rate.?

“Get him on the ground. He won’t be able to handle you on the mat.”?

Lennox nods. Before I can say anything else, the crowd starts cheering, and a guy a little shorter than Nox but probably twenty or thirty pounds heavier comes into view.?

He looks over, grinning in our direction. By his demeanor and the crowd’s response to him, you can tell he does this often.?

“Welp, he may be bent… but he’shuge,” Frankie says, cracking herself up as Lucian gives her a death stare.?

“That doesn’t mean he can fight,” I encourage a seemingly calm Lennox.?

He reaches for the back of his shirt over his shoulder and pulls it over his head. My stomach dips at the sight of him.?

Nox touches a strand of my purple and blue hair. “Don’t worry this pretty little mermaid head of yours.” His words cause my pussy to clench, and my breath hitches as I watch his toned back stride toward the fight area.?

We follow him, our crew hollering encouraging words.?

He’s got this… I have no doubt.?

Nox

The crowd’s chants echo loudly in the warehouse, and I can barely hear what the so-called referee is saying to us.?

“Winner by knock-out or tap-out, unless you make it to the end of five rounds… and then the crowd determines the winner.”?

Yeah, I’m not taking that chance.?

“Monroe, ready? I nod and hold my closed fist out to tap my opponent’s.?

“BD, ready?” He nods, looking past my extended arm. Completely ignoring me, a sly grin covers his face until he bites his lip.?

When he starts to laugh, I can’t help but look over my shoulder to where I see a pissed Emerson giving him the finger.?
