“I haven’t come that long in ages.” He moaned softly, rubbing his cock. “Shit, that feltgood.”
Pushing up on his elbows, his body slid along mine, and he kissed me on the lips, long andslow.
“You’ve got a way with words,” he said when he finally pulled away. “I don’t need the help, but it sure makes a difference if you can tell me what youwant.”
“Cocky, aren’t we?” I said seductively, arching against hischest.
His eyes sparkled. “Damn, you looksatisfied.”
I smiled, my eyes feeling heavy. I wanted nothing more than to curl up and fallasleep.
“Consider the itch thoroughly scratched,” he said, sitting up. Turning his back to me, I studied the long line of his spine and stroked my fingers over some old bruises he’d probably gotten from fighting as he rolled the used condom off his cock. He tossed it into the bin just inside the bathroom door before reaching for his boxers andjeans.
“You’re going?” I asked, sinking back into thesheets.
“Hmm,” he replied absently, standing and zipping up hisfly.
I didn’t reply. I watched him get dressed, and when he leaned over and kissed me on the forehead, I pushed down a wave ofdisappointment.
“See ya, Ali,” he murmured. Then heleft.
I stared at the ceiling for a long time, listening to thesilence.
I felt cold, but I’d known what I was getting into all along. He’d been very clear about his intentions. Tonight had just been a bit of fun. I’d agreed to it willingly, knowing exactly what it meant.Nothing.
I could pretend all I wanted, but deep down, I knew I’d fallen for a man who wasn’t interested in more. It was bad news for all involved. It was going to implode sooner or later, and my bet was onsooner.
The only thing I could do, the only thing that would ensure I protected my heart was to stay away from him. Easier said than done. Liam had just walked out and taken my heart withhim.
Great.

Liam
Icould’ve stayedall night in Ali’s bed. I’d wantedto.
I could have gone another three or four rounds with her if I’d wanted. Once more, right after we’d first come. Then again during the night when I woke with another erection, then in the morning. I could have woken her up from behind, slipping my cock through the pink lips between her legs, and she would have cried out formore.
Then we could have debated getting out of bed at all as I palmed her breasts, kissed her lips, and held herclose.
Fuck, that was some dangerous shit I was thinkingabout.
From the look on her face, I doubted she’d ever been fucked like that in her life. I was also seriously wondering if any man had been able to get her off before I came along. If a man didn’t know what a woman orgasming on his cock felt like, then he was a pussy. It was the best feeling ever. Ali had milked me for everything I wasworth.
Completelysatisfying.
I went to the gym. I did my grocery shopping. I cooked my dinner. I went to The Underground and fought. I hung out with Faye. I did everything I normally did, but when I closed my eyes, I sawAli.
A couple of days passed, and I didn’t hear from her. I’d told her one night was all I could do, but… I didn’t know why I was getting pissed about not getting a text from her. This was what I wanted, wasn’tit?
A fist slammed into the side of my face, and Istumbled.
The crowd let out a roar, stamping their feet on the bleachers and rattling the cage. Tasting blood, I spat, ducking just in time to miss a left hook fromRenegade.
The guy had been fighting at The Underground for a few months and was still green. He shouldn’t have been able to land a hit on me—at least, not as easily as he just did. My mind was all over the place. I had to focus, or I would lose and be laughed right out of thecage.
Snarling, I punched from underneath and clipped him under his chin. He stumbled, and I launched myself at him, throwing him flat on his back with me ontop.
