Chapter 13

JONATHAN COULDN’T believe it. Two minutes into the fight with Noah Adams and the obnoxious asshole had already gotten three fouls in, of which the referee had only seen one. Jonathan hoped the judges weren’t as blind. In the last two days before the fight, Noah’s verbal bullshit had become so bad, even Jonathan couldn’t listen to it or read it anymore. He had followed the man on Facebook, Twitter, and the media to be able to shield Leeland from unexpected surprises. But when the threats against his boy grew more personal with each post and tweet, Jonathan had to make a choice. He could either keep on reading and listening and call Martin afterward to have the fucker removed from the surface of the earth, or he could stop and concentrate on supporting his boy. After long, careful consideration, during which he was tempted to go with option number one, Jonathan finally decided to focus on Leeland. His lover had been tense the days before the fight, more so than before the other matches he had competed in. When Jonathan asked him about it, Leeland explained what was going on in his complex mind. “It’s just—he’s nasty, Jonathan. He’s not just posturing and ramping it up for the fight; he really believes what he says. I can feel it. And I can’t lose against such an ass. No way.”

Jonathan understood. He understood very well. So he’d done everything in his power to help Leeland get ready for his meeting with Noah. And now here they were, Noah going full-speed right from the beginning, waling into Leeland as if he wanted to use him as a punching bag. He’d clearly thought he could end the fight within the first few seconds, sending Leeland down with one heavy blow. The idea that Leeland could put up a fight and even have the audacity to gracefully duck out of the way didn’t seem to have occurred to Noah, because he was obviously getting angrier with every jab Leeland evaded and every kick Leeland got in. Red as he was in the face, Jonathan wondered what would happen first—Noah blowing a blood vessel or starting to froth.

The whistle sounded and the first five minutes were over before this question could be answered.

Jonathan watched his lover retreat into his designated corner with concern. Leeland had taken some bad hits from the asshole, and Jonathan could only hope adrenaline was keeping the pain at bay for the moment. Later he could take care of his boy, could kiss all his hurts better. The thought distracted Jonathan for a moment and had him smiling until Martin elbowed him.

“Next round!” his friend hissed.

Jonathan glanced to his right, where Martin, Richard, Dean, Curtis, and Emilio were seated. They always made sure some of them were with Leeland to show him their support, and Richard and Martin hadn’t missed a single fight. They were almost as proud of Leeland as Jonathan himself and paid for any extra amenities Smash! wouldn’t grant Leeland, such as a suite with a Jacuzzi and a personal attendant.
