Percy

“Idiot,” I growl at myself, almost putting my fist to the wall in anger. “Why’d you let her go?”

It’s a simple enough question, but I know the answer; no matter how badly I want her, I’m not about to force Whitney into anything against her will. I may be an asshole, but I’m not a scumbag.

I want Whitney more than anything in the world, but she’s afraid of me. But why? It can’t just be my public persona. It’s something deeper than that. She has some idea about me—about guys like me—and she just can’t shake it. And if I’m going to make her mine, I have to prove to her that I’m different.

Doing my best to walk with the bulge between my legs, I go after her. As I open the door to the lobby, all eyes are on me. Frankie, one of the promoters, starts clapping, which draws a bigger round of applause and cheers of “Champ! Champ! Champ!”

I smile and nod politely, searching the bodies for my fiancé.

“Hey, who’s that new girl with you tonight, Percy?” Charlie Greene, one of the league sponsors, asks me as I pass him. “She doesn’t look like your typical date?”

“Oh, she’s not,” I reply. “There’s nothing typical about her.”

I make my way through the crowd, doing the best I can to be polite while still looking for Whitney, but when I reach the other side of the lobby, she’s nowhere to be found.

Shit. Did she really leave?

I’m about to turn back when I see her through the window, out front with Sonja, climbing into the back of an Uber.

Shoving a crowd of girls out of the way, I race outside, but it’s too late. The car’s already down the block and making a turn at the light.

“Hey,” I say to the valet, who’s in the middle of storytime with one of his buddies. “Hey! You working or just gossiping like a couple teenage girls?”

“Sorry!” he replies, quickly rushing over to me. “Did you—”

“Bring my car now.”

“Yes, sir.”

He races off and comes back a few seconds later behind the wheel of my Ferrari. I almost knock his ass over as he gets out, toss him a twenty, gun the engine, and speed after my future wife.

She’s headed to the hotel—that much is for sure—but I have to get there before she gets her shit and leaves. Whitney is a girl who doesn’t mess around, and if she’s intent on going home, that’s what she’s going to do.

I can’t even believe what I’m doing as I thread the New York City traffic like a madman. No woman has ever had this kind of effect on me before. I want her more than I’ve wanted anything—more than I wanted to become a fighter—more than I want the heavyweight championship.

And she needs to know that.

My tires squeal as I screech to a halt in front of the hotel. I leap out of the car, toss my keys to the valet, and run inside. I can see the goddamn elevator rising to my floor and just know that she and Sonja are in it.
