Chapter Eight

“Your wood just arrived.”

Hammer glanced over at Dante Fox as his friend walked into his office at Fight Hard just as he ended a call on his cell phone. Dante threw himself in the chair in front of the desk, propping his feet up on the corner of the desk.

“And let me tell you, that isn’t a statement I ever thought I’d be saying to another dude after I entered a room. What the hell are you gonna do with all those boards?”

Scoffing, Hammer leaned back in his chair, stretching his arms over his head to ease the tension that had settled in his shoulders from the phone conversation he just finished. “We are going to build a fence in the yard.”

“What the hell for?”

“Kali wants to adopt one of the puppies from the rescue shelter. It’s a pit bull, so Evie said having a safe environment for him to run and play is essential for the dog as well as the people around here. Kali doesn’t have a backyard to build one over by her place, so I said we could build one here.”

Dante shook his head. “Man, are you pussy whipped or what? First, it was that girl fight class, and now you’re adopting a dog with her? That little girl has you running in circles.”

“Kali isn’t like that,” Hammer growled. “And quit being such an asshole.”

“I’m just saying,” Dante said with a chuckle, loving that he could rile his friend up so easily. “If you start doing yoga and shit here I may have to take you out back and beat some fucking sense back into you.”

“Like that would ever happen. You know I can take you down. Besides, I like the pup she picked out. We went to see him a couple of days ago, and he’s a good dog. They named the little guy Ranger.”

Dante laughed. “No shit? Well, that seems fitting then. I’m still worried about you, man. You seem to have fallen hard for her. Don’t you think it’s a little soon to be playing house with her? The last couple of weeks you’ve been attached at the hip. Hasn’t she been staying at your house all week?”

“She has. If I have my way, she’ll be moving in with me permanently.”

That had Dante sitting up in his chair. “Seriously? Shit, you aren’t going to do something stupid like ask her to marry you, are you?”

Hammer glared at him. “I plan to and will when the time is right. I love her, Dante. Just because you don’t want to settle down doesn’t mean I don’t, you cynical bastard.”

Dante let out a pained groan. “Jesus, you, too? I already have Jimbo running around the damn bar like some sort of maniac because Lisa is due any day. I don’t need you losing your mind, too.”

Hammer chose to ignore that insult. “I thought he was taking some time off to get ready for the baby?”

“I wish. Lisa sent his ass back to work. Said he was driving her crazy hovering over her so she’s making us deal with him.
