Page 31 of Knuckle's Dispute

Homicide and I walk out to the cage surrounded by the crowd.The music is almost drowned out by the cheering crowd.Grudge is already in the cage as he warms up and listens to last-minute direction from Omen.He might be listening to Omen, but Grudge’s full attention is on me and no one else.Homicide was right—Grudge needs to work through some shit of his own.

Getting in the cage, I keep my attention solely on the man I’m facing.Grudge and I stare at one another as Brick gets in the ring and stands between the two of us.

“You both know the rules.I want a clean fight here tonight.No hits below the belt and when you’re told to break it up, go to your corner and wait for me to start the fight again,” Brick states, his voice neutral as he looks between the two of us.

This is nothing I’ve never heard before and the words almost go over my head as I look at Grudge while trying to push all the thoughts from my head.Grudge appears to be in the same boat as I am while he glares at me.I’m not the one he’s truly seeing in this situation and I wonder what’s going on with him.

“You ready?”Brick finally asks, looking between us.I nod my head in response while Grudge does the same.“Fight!”

Grudge and I circle one another for a few minutes.We’re sizing one another up and trying to find an opening.I’m buying my time and waiting for my opponent to fuck up.Grudge is a good fighter, but he’s gonna slip up eventually and that’s when I’ll strike.It doesn’t take long for me to find the opening I need.Grudge goes to turn to his left and he takes his attention from me for just a second.

Lashing out, I hit Grudge directly in his jaw.His head snaps to the side and he stumbles on his feet.I don’t hesitate to stay on him and unleash all the pain, rage, and fear filling me.Yes, I’m scared to death about being a dad.I’ve never had a good role model growing up.It wasn’t until I met Rooster that I saw what a dad was supposed to be.Now, I have no idea if I’m going to be a good man for Kaden and Janessa.If I’ll be good enough to teach him how to be a man and how to be the best version of himself he can be.I certainly didn’t start out being a good dad to him considering I wasn’t there when he was born or when Janessa brought him home from the hospital.

“Break apart!”Brick shouts, jerking me out of my head as Homicide jumps in the cage and pulls me back to my corner.

Omen gets inside and helps Grudge up from the mat.He says something to him, but Grudge isn’t hearing anything as he tries to clear his head.Homicide is talking to me and I don’t hear a single thing being said by him.My attention is on Grudge where he sits in the other corner and glares at me and only me.Again, he’s not truly seeing me and there’s shit he needs to work out.That’s why most of us get in the ring, or cage, to begin with.It’s our way of working through the shit causing us so much pain and torment instead of talking it out with someone and feeling like a bitch.I hate talking about my feelings and what’s going on.The only one who gets that side of me is Tease.And now Janessa.

“Get out there and end this fight,” Homicide says, slapping my cheek and pulling my attention from my head.

Nodding in response, I shake the thoughts away once again and prepare for Brick to start the fight again.It doesn’t take long before I’m in the middle of the cage, landing one hit after another on Grudge.His head truly isn’t in this fight.Grudge isn’t putting up a fight or trying to force me off of him at all.In a matter of minutes, Brick is raising my hand as the winner of the fight and I’m surrounded by the club and all the women trying to get at me.With one look at Homicide, he’s ushering me through the crowd and away from everyone toward the locker room.

“Get showered and changed so you can get to your woman,” Homicide states, pushing me through the door of the locker room and standing guard in front of it.

We’ve had a few women try to sneak in to get to us in the past.Now, we always have a guy stand guard in front of the doors so they can’t get to us.Usually it would be the Prospects, but since they’re with Janessa at the compound, it’s going to be Homicide today.Without hesitation, I unwrap my hands and toss the tape into the garbage can before stripping out of my shorts and kicking off my sneakers.Turning on the water in the shower, I don’t bother waiting for it to heat up before stepping under the spray.The freezing cold drops hit me and I groan from the freezing temperature hitting my body.I might not be sore today, but I’m a sweaty mess and the cold water is exactly what I need for a minute before it turns hot.I quickly wash my hair and body before rinsing off and getting out.Getting to Janessa is the only thing on my mind right now.

***

Pulling into the compound, I ride my bike directly to the cabin Janessa’s staying in.The kickstand is barely down before I’m shutting the engine off and climbing from my bike.I head straight for the front door and it opens before I can knock.Tease stands before me and shakes his head before looking where the bedroom is.I bypass my best friend and head for my family.

Stopping in the doorway of the bedroom, I find Janessa sitting up in bed nursing Kaden.She looks up at me with tears in her eyes.

“You’re here,” she whispers, completely breaking and staring at me with tears rolling down her cheeks.

“I’m here, Baby.What do you need?”I ask her, walking to the bed and climbing in beside her.

“I need you, Knuckles.I want to forget everything that happened today.Can you do that?”she asks me, her voice breaking as she looks at me while pulling our son away to burp.

“I’ll always give you whatever you need, Janessa.Let me put Little Man to bed and then you can take what you need,” I say, pressing a kiss against her forehead before taking Kaden from her arms.

I finish burping him on the way to the crib.My boy lets out a huge burp before I lay him down and cover him with the blanket always in his bed.Taking a minute to ensure he’s settled and going to go back to sleep, I turn and remove my cut, setting it on the rocking chair next to the crib.

Janessa stands up and removes my shirt while running her hands up my chest.The feeling of her touch on my body causes goosebumps to break out along my skin and a tremor to run through my body.Janessa’s eyes wander over every inch of my body as she reaches between us and pulls my belt open so she can undo my jeans.Leaning down, I kiss Janessa as if it’s our last kiss and I don’t ever want it to end.Her little moans and whimpers feed my need for her as she pushes my jeans down my legs.I break the kiss long enough to pull Janessa’s shirt off her body.This is the first time I’ve seen her since she got pregnant and I can tell my girl is nervous as hell about it.

“Don’t hide from me,” I demand as Janessa brings her arms up to cover her body.

“I’ve changed, Knuckles.My body isn’t what it was the last time we were together,” she whispers, looking at the floor between us.

“I know you have, Janessa.You’ve carried our son in your stomach and changed to accommodate his growth.The way your body is now, is sexier than before when we were together.You show the love you’ve given our son while you carried him and even now as you raise him and nurse him every single day.I will worship every inch of your body, Janessa” I promise her, gently pushing her on the bed as I lean down and pull her jeans down her legs after undoing them.

With her jeans tossed on the floor at my feet, I begin kissing my way up her body.Janessa’s skin is so smooth under my touch as I run my fingers up her legs while placing random kisses as I go.As my body moves over Janessa’s, her legs spread to accommodate me.I don’t stop until my mouth finds her wet pussy.Looking up, I find Janessa’s eyes locked on mine as I lean forward and slide my tongue through her folds.The moan escaping my girl is like music to my ears.I let her sounds guide me because this is what I’ve been missing for the last several months of my life.Janessa’s sounds, taste, and the feel of her body wrapped around mine is the only thing I’ve wanted and I was too blind and stupid to realize it until this very moment.

“Knuckles!”Janessa screams out as her entire body locks up and she shakes uncontrollably from her release.

I don’t move from Janessa’s pussy until the last bits of her release leave her body.With one last swipe of my tongue through her folds, I begin to kiss up her body until my mouth is hovering inches from hers.

“When we’re alone, my name is Micah.I don’t want to hear anythin’ else from you, Janessa,” I say before leaning in and pressing my lips to hers.

Janessa deepens the kiss as I slide my cock in her pussy.Her nails dig into my back as her back arches off the mattress.I remain still for a minute, savoring the feeling of her wrapped tight around my cock.
