“Oh my God, Devan. Have you been on Facebook today?” Meg was through the door before Devan had finished opening it.

As per his normal Saturday morning routine, Devan had yet to get dressed and had been playing on the floor with Matthew. His sleep pants were frayed around the cuffs and the elastic band around his waist didn’t hold anywhere as well as it had used to. It wasn’t exactly the sort of thing he’d normally wear in front of anyone. Thankfully, Meg wasn’t anyone.

“And good morning to you too.” He made a beeline to the kitchen to get her a coffee, knowing she’d want one without her asking. “No, Mattie and I were playing and cuddling.”

When he came back out into the living room, Meg had picked Matthew up and was plying his face with kisses. “Do it. I’ve got him.”

He put her coffee down on the table and went in search for his phone. “If this is some weird political thing, I’m really not interested.”

“This falls under sports. I figured you’d be more than interested.”

Devan’s heartbeat kicked up a notch. “Eli?” Shit, where the hell was his phone?

“I sent you a Messenger link. I wanted to be the one to let you know.”

If Meg was here, that meant it couldn’t be anything good and she was worried he’d freak out. He finally found his phone in the bathroom under one of Matthew’s nightshirts. Meg’s link was there, and it took only a second for it to load.

There was Eli, standing in a boxing ring staring down at some man Devan didn’t recognize. The guy was clearly trying to bait Eli, but Devan could tell from the look on his face that he wasn’t going to bite. Eli’s skin glistened in the light, despite the somewhat grainy quality of the video. With his arms crossed, the muscles in his biceps flexed, as did his pecs.

Damn it, he really was a beautiful man to look at.

Devan hadn’t really been paying attention to what the other guy had been saying, but when he jumped into the ring and ripped off his shirt, Devan knew what was going to happen. Eli ducked and weaved his way out of reach, but clearly wasn’t expecting the kick. Devan gasped as Eli hit hard on the canvas.

God, why did he do that to himself? Put himself into positions where his body would be punished. The guy had clearly landed a cheap shot, but Eli surprisingly kept his temper in check. He’d always been good at that.

With his phone in hand, he wandered back out to the living room. Meg had put Matthew into his playpen and was now drinking her coffee. “I have to say, Eli is still looking good.”

“Yeah.” He pulled out the chair and sat beside her. “I’m actually worried about him.”

“Why? Did he say something when you saw him? Trying to earn your sympathy, no doubt.”

He loved Meg like a sister, but when she made her mind up about someone, it was hard to change her way of thinking.
