Chapter 12

“You guys know there is a motel, like right around the corner?” Kane’s deep voice jolted Rory.

Flickering his eyes open, snarling at the bright light while pain shot up through his leg, Rory stared up into his brother’s face.

“What in the hell are you doing here, Kane?”

“Meeting you for training, idiot.”

“Oh, my God, hide me,” a soft voice moaned next to Rory, and he felt a warm body wriggle, a face push into the crook of his arm. Turning, he realized it was Clare and that they were smack dab in the middle of the main cage at an empty Legends.

And it was morning.

A very bright morning.

“Hi, Clare, good hiding job. He has giant arms, yet somehow I still spotted you! Is this yours?”

Clare peeked out from behind Rory, pulling the blanket tightly around her frame. Kane was holding up a light blouse, dangling it off one finger. Rory swiped it from him and handed it to Clare. She wiggled it on quickly, and he was sure that the crimson on her face might now be a permanent fixture.

“You guys better get this cleaned up. Pops will be in soon. I don’t even know what he would say to this. Oh, and Quinn dropped off Ace—he’s in the office,” Kane called over his shoulder as he strode away from them, out of the cage.

“Is he gone?” Clare peeked her head up over Rory’s shoulder so he could see her squarely.

Pushing himself up onto his elbows, he turned toward her and admired her petite figure curled up in the blanket beside him. Her blond hair was tumbling down her back in waves and her eyes shone bright green under the morning light. He wanted to take a picture of her like this, so he would never forget how beautiful she was. He grinned at the thought, knowing he sounded ridiculous.

“What are you smiling at?” She narrowed her eyes at him as she carefully wiggled on her jeans to finish getting dressed, still holding the blanket over her.

“You’re beautiful, Clare.”

She blushed an even deeper red against her previously pale, ivory skin, then pushed herself up onto her feet. He quickly followed, easily pulling his clothes on, unembarrassed. He started packing things away, pausing to notice the stiffness and spasms of pain in his leg. He kept a straight face and didn’t show it.

They didn’t say anything as they tidied up and folded the blanket, just snuck smiles and peeks at each other. Once everything was tucked neatly into the picnic basket Rory was now carrying, they exited the cage and he helped her down onto the ground.

Rory grabbed Clare’s arm and pulled her toward him, still enjoying the silence of the empty gym. “I’ve got to go get changed to train my brother.”

“Yeah? What are you waiting for then?” The way the corner of her eyes crinkled when she smiled at him made him want never to stop staring at her.

“It’s tomorrow.”

“So?”

“I promised to kiss you tomorrow, mhuirnín.” He lowered his voice, attempting to sound slightly threatening, but unable to keep the smile off his face.
