I had half a mind to hop into the ring and take out my frustrations the same way Bones and River were.
“Yo!” Teo called as he emerged into the hallway. “Don’t work too hard. See you guys tomorrow.”
“Say hi to your daughter for me.” I waved my goodbye.
“She’ll be too busy stuffing her face with pizza to listen to anything I say.” Teo gave a salute before he left Smiley’s for the day.
Bones threw one last jab at River before backing up and stretching out his wrists.
“All right, switch.”
“Oh, come on. Give a guy a break.” River undid the ties keeping his gear on. “At least five minutes for some water or something. You’ll be pummeling me for an hour.”
“A five-minute break sounds great actually.” I threw Bones the towel from around my neck. “We need you guys in top shape, not tired as hell. The Circuit starts in two weeks.”
“God, this whole fucking thing is so rushed,” Bones complained as he wiped the sweat from his face and upper body. God he was so sexy. I could stare at his muscles all day and never grow tired of it.
“My guess is the organizers were at Heathens Hollow and saw all the money involved.” River shrugged. “Tons to be made on the floor.”
I hummed. “Or they saw how popular boxing is getting. A bunch of influencer fights and all that.”
“Could be.”
“Or they don’t want the sponsors to change their minds.” Bones threw the towel at River so he could towel off. “Either way, we’re the only ones on the chopping block.”
“Worried about getting injured again?” River smirked. “I kind of fucked you up, didn’t I?”
“Not enough ’cause I’m clearly doing just fine.”
“Yeah? So you don’t need a little extra motivation in the meantime?”
A little pink flush crept up Bones’ neck. I blinked in surprise. Bones almost never blushed. Ever. Was I missing something here?
Before I could ask, River smiled at me. “Hey, don’t worry. If Bones goes down, you can hop into the ring.”
“Frankie would kill me.” I snorted and leaned back against the ropes of the ring. “I think Frankie would kill you for even suggesting it.”
“I don’t think he’d kill you.” River wiped his face with the towel, and when he moved it down, his shit-eating grin was back. “But I’d love to watch if he decided to punish you.”
Heat raced through my entire body. My cunt throbbed at the hooded look he gave me. It was the same one in my office from a few days ago. I’d never seen someone so openly flirtatious in front of not one, but two of my boys. I felt bad about how hot that made me. Clearly, River wanted me—and based on how my walls spasmed when he licked his lips, I wanted him, too.
“Knock it off.” Bones’ words held much less heat that I expected from him. “Hand over the gear so I can suit up.”
“It’s been barely two minutes.” River laughed and threw the chest protector to the side of the ring. “Can’t we have a little more fun?”
“More?” I raised an eyebrow.
“Why don’t you tell her about all the fun we had in—”
“Shut the fuck up,” Bones snapped. “Before I break your jaw.”
Okay, obviously something was going on here. Curiosity gnawed at me, and the room was charged with more than just electricity. When Bones stepped toward River, his entire body was stiff—even the bulge in his training shorts.
“Hey, I have an idea. If I take you down first, why don’t you show Ari that special motivation I gave you?” River winked at me, which made the throbbing in my core worse. “Want to find out, Ari?”
“Leave her out of this.”
“Give me a break.” River’s eyes darkened as he looked between the two of us. “I watched you at the club at Heathens Hollow.”
The reminder flushed my entire body hot. River’s sharp eyes on me as the boys fucked me, River’s hands on his cock while he watched us, the rise and fall of his thick chest. I hadn’t forgotten a single detail. But that was club fun—this was the real world. The two shouldn’t be mixed… right?
Bones grunted and turned to look at me; River took it as the perfect opportunity. He grabbed Bones’ shoulders, and in one fluid move, threw him over his shoulder and pinned him down to the mat. Bones cried out in surprise and tried to buck away, but River held him down for a solid three seconds. Then he started laughing and clapping as he stood back up.
“I win.”
“Win what?” Bones spat as he shot back to his feet. “The fuck was that, River?”
“I took you down first.” His smirk was back, even sexier than ever. “So go ahead. Show her.”
Bones hesitated. My heart was pounding wildly when their eyes rolled over to me. Bones made no qualms about checking me out. His gaze lingered on my thighs through my tight pants. River kept his eyes on my chest as it rose and fell with my short breaths. He darted his tongue out to wet his lips, and my thoughts went wild with other places I wanted that tongue of his.
