CHAPTER SIX

I was disappointed to find my boss was sending me to a Houston branch for the next three days due to some report discrepancies. That meant no gym or Ford time. I had all of two minutes to fill Megan in on my date, choosing to leave out the more intimate details. However, I’m sure my rosy, pink cheeks gave my secret away.

“I don’t trust a southern guy who doesn’t eat meat,” she taunted.

“It’s not the meat I care about.”

“Dakota, you saucy little vixen.”

“What? I’m human. I’m a very sexually frustrated human. Okay, I have to get on the road. I’ll be back Thursday.” I gave her a quick hug and hauled my bag down the stairs. I struggled with the idea of leaving Ford a message, but thought it would appear clingy.

My heart hammered away in my chest as I accelerated past the gym. It was going to be a long three days.

My stomach leapt into my throat as I tried to remain casual walking into Champs. The evening crew was light, with everyone finishing up. Ford had just stepped out of the ring. It was noticeable when he spotted me because his hard face lit up like a kid at Christmas, sending goosebumps across my skin.

“Damn, I thought I scared you off.”

I flashed a smile. He made me feel weightless, as if I was floating on cloud nine. “Not a chance. I had an unexpected work trip. But I’m back and ready to get down to business.”

He arched his masculine brow.

I playfully tapped him on the chest. “Not like that. Well, unless...”

Ford chuckled. “Don’t tempt me. Wanna do a few rounds?”

“That’s what I’m here for,” I said with a wink.

“Pad up.”

“Really? But I like the sweaty skin on skin action.” I pretended to pout, batting my eyelashes.

“Too bad. Safety first, especially for a newbie.” He braced me by the shoulders and propelled me forward. “Get to it,” he said as he slapped me on the ass.

I could tell that Ford had changed his strategy. My not having experience must have really taken a toll on him. I wasn’t complaining though. He was attentive and gentle. Well, as gentle as two people could be in the middle of a boxing ring.

“Good job. You have more stamina than most people in here.”

“Thanks, maybe this weekend we can work on my stamina training.” The short time in the ring made me want to ravage him right in the middle of Champs.

“You’re gonna be the death of me, seriously. That being said, I have to go out of town this weekend.”

I recoiled. Not sure why, but it bothered me. It was almost as if we had to fight the universe just to be together. “That’s cool. Another time then.”

Ford grasped my hands. “I have a fight in Shreveport.”

“Nice, I didn’t know you competed.”

He smiled at my innocence. “I was hoping you might come along.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I know it might be awkward, and you can always say no, but a weekend away could be fun.
