I’m fighting tonight.

Athena won’t be on the card, but she’s coming with me. Dean and Cayde agreed to it surprisingly easily—mostly, I think, because they’re hoping that her tagging along will scare her out of fighting herself once she sees how rough and brutal it can really be.

I don’t think it will. They know Athena is tough, but I think they’ve underestimated just how tough she really is. I, on the other hand, have never underestimated that.

It makes not giving in to how much I want her that much harder.

It’s even worse when I see how easy things seem to have become between them. Since Dean and Cayde decided to join forces instead of playing along with the bullshit game that our fathers forced into, like theirs before them, there’s a tentative peace in the house that feels almost more unnatural than what was happening before. I’d come home two nights ago to hear the sounds of them in the living room, Athena’s breathless gasps and manly grunts that could have been coming from either one of my two “best friends.” It had both infuriated and aroused me, a conflict of emotions that I’m becoming way more fucking familiar with than I’d like.

If I’d known it was an option to just tell our fathers and the town’s traditions to go fuck themselves, I might have taken up Athena on her offer to give me her virginity in the first place. Except—

I wouldn’t have because I know the kind of danger she’s putting herself in. A danger that she now knows all too well, also. And yet, she’s choosing to push forward anyway, even after the violent warning that very nearly cost her life.

It’s both colossally fucking stupid and admirable. But no matter how much I might respect her for refusing to be cowed by all of this, I’m also not going to let my feelings get wrapped up in another woman who will wind up getting herself killed.

That’s easier said than done, though. Especially when Athena comes down the stairs to meet me so we can leave for the fights, dressed perfectly for the occasion. She’s wearing skin-tight, ripped black jeans, her heavy Docs, a tight black tank top, and a black leather jacket thrown over that, her eye makeup a thick, angry black slash over each eye. Her usually loose black hair is braided back away from her face in a tight French braid, almost as if she were fighting tonight, which I know she’s not.

I just hope she knows that.

“You know you’re not on the card tonight, right?” I ask, raising an eyebrow as she reaches the bottom of the steps. I force myself not to think of her standing there just a few nights ago, so close to me, her chin tilted up defiantly and her hand on my arm, and how I could have pulled her into my arms and kissed her, run my hands over her body and dragged her back to my room to taste every inch of it.
