“You’re going to do great,” Jaclyn whispers. “I’ll be there watching you.” Jaclyn kisses my lips once more before getting up.
I watch her as she leaves the room and the ref holds open the door for her. I stand up and walk to the mirror hanging on the wall. I already have my wraps on.
I slide the gloves on and punch them together before heading to the door.
The ref holds it open for me and pats my shoulder with his gloved hand. “You ready, Night?” I nod my head not answering him.
He walks me to the cage and opens the door. Eric is already in the cage, pouncing around like he is a fucking monkey.
“It’s going to feel great beating your ass and making you get on your knees, Hayden,” Eric says with a sadistic smile on his face.
I ignore him as the ref gets in the cage and stands between Eric and I. He holds onto both of our shoulders while speaking to the crowd of the most anticipated fight at this club. I block everything out and fight the urge to look at Jaclyn.
I know if I look at her I’m going to get distracted and want to stare at her the entire fight, making sure she’s okay and away from harm.
Instead I keep my attention on Eric and how I’m going to make him pay.
“Fight!” the ref yells before a bell rings.
I don’t waste any time before taking one step forward and landing a punch to his throat. Eric steps back and covers his throat while coughing and leaning down. I take more steps towards him as he backs up against the cage. I start punching left and right to his face, where it’s exposed to me. He’s more so covering his throat from the punch I sent there.
I hear yells screaming ‘boo’ and then curse words hyping me up. I block them all out and continue to pound Eric against the cage.
When Eric finally gains his strength back he throws a punch to my ribs. I wince but still don’t stop punching him in his face.
I’ll make him fucking unconscious before he makes me bleed. I hold him by the throat against the cage and punch his face making blood ooze from his lip. He coughs while trying to get me off. He punches me in the face, making me back up and throw him to the ground.
Eric swipes his feet under mine, making me fall to the floor with a hard thud. Eric gets on top of me and starts going at it. I cover his hits, protecting my face. I can see glimpses of Eric’s smug face as he hits me hard.
“Tell me, does Jaclyn like guys who are rough with her in bed? I bet she’ll feel nice and good, Night.”
I don’t waste a second thrusting my hips up and throwing Eric off to the side. I get on top of him and straddle his hips as I punch his face side to side. He still is smiling as I punch him like a fucking maniac.
“I’ll fucking kill you if you ever dare touch her.” I thrust my fists to his throat as he chokes on his own spit. Blood comes out of his mouth after every punch and I feel some splatter on my face but I don’t care I’m close to killing him and this shit ends today. “Better start praying motherfucker.”
I keep throwing punches until the bell rings. The ref pulls me off of Eric as he stays on the floor, breathing hard and raspy.
“Against the cage, Night!” the ref yells while pushing me against the cage.
I look across from me at the other end of the cage while the ref and medic team check on Eric. My eyes go to Jaclyn who is staring at me with awe in her eyes. I love how she doesn’t hide her pleasure in me beating Eric’s ass. She is just as twisted as me, I’m sure of it.
I fucking love this girl.
Holy shit.
I wish there was a word to describe how I feel about Jaclyn because the word love doesn’t even give justice to how I feel about her.
She feels like everything I have been wishing for and more.
I’ve known I felt something for her for a while now but admitting it to myself feels like everything.
It feels real.
I can’t help but look up at the top floor when I see Marco sitting in his office through the window. He is looking at me with anger in his eyes because he hates losing. I can’t help but smile while looking at him.
“Hayden Night!” the ref yells while holding my fist to the air, naming me the undefeated champion of this stupid club.
When I look at the crowd to see Jaclyn, my eyes go to a random person. I look around the crowd to try and find her but I can’t. She’s gone.
