Chapter 14

Soothing the savage beast

“Sorry. Rules are rules. I can’t let you into the men’s changing room, and especially not the VIP area.” Rampage points to the bench. “You can wait there.”

“Is he alone?” My nails dig into my palm as I try to think of a way inside. If I wait until he comes out, it may be too late.

“Yeah. We closed the gym for the fight, and Torment’s in the first-aid room with Makayla so there’s no one else there.”

“Please.” I grab Rampage’s hand. “He shouldn’t be alone. I just want him to know I’m here.”

“I can tell—”

“Don’t make me beg. You know I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important.”

Rampage hesitates, then shakes his head. “Even if I was inclined to break the rules, it’s probably not safe for you right now. Never saw him so wound up before. That was a vicious fight.”

“I can take care of myself.” I sigh and throw down my only chip. “I could do a piece for you for free. Something on your arm. Maybe a symbol that represents your fight name…”

He mocks a frown. “Are you trying to bribe me?”

“Yes. Absolutely. Whatever it takes.”

A grin spreads across his face. “A bull. That’s what I want. With a ring through its nose.”

Relief washes through me and I have to hold back from giving him a hug. “You tell Rose when you want to come in.”

He pushes open the changing room door and his face softens. “I’ll be right here ’case you need me or ’case someone tries to get in.”

“Thanks.”

Rampage gives me a wink. “See ya, Sia.”

When I walk into the changing room, the scents of sweat and unwashed gym clothes make my nose wrinkle, but I forge ahead and find the VIP room through a red door at the top of a small flight of stairs. Clean and bright, and smelling faintly of sweat and lemon cleaner, it houses two rows of beige lockers, wide benches, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and shelves of fluffy towels.

Ray is at the back, facing away from me, a towel wrapped around his narrow hips. He must have just stepped out of the shower because his hair is wet, and the air is thick and fragrant with the sharp scent of the shower gel I have smelled on his skin.

Seemingly oblivious to my presence, he mumbles something to himself then pounds on the locker. The loud bang makes me gasp, and I step back into the door with a soft thud.

His head jerks up and he spins to face me. But it isn’t Ray who meets my gaze, but the Predator. In the flesh.

“Go, Sia.” His voice is rough, hoarse as if it is an effort to force the words out. “Get out of here.”

Goose bumps prick my arms and I twist my hands together. “You weren’t fighting the way you usually fight. You seemed…angry. Out of control. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.”

He closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose, as if in pain.
