Chapter 14

I was thankful to be a morning person as I followed Travis downstairs at the ass crack of dawn the next day.

He offered me a grin, eyes skimming over my workout gear as he let Able out back to do his business. “You’re really dedicated to this bet, huh?”

I looked at him as though he were daft. “Of course. A bet’s a bet. You should have seen the things I had to do growing up whenever I lost a bet with my brother. If Theo says he’s not sore this morning, then I’ll do PT with you guys.”

He shook his head, chuckling as Able came bounding back inside.

“Want a shake?” he offered as he went into the kitchen to whip up whatever concoction it was he drank on a daily basis.

I grimaced, grabbing a banana. “While I so appreciate what that sludge does for your muscles, I’m good, thanks.”

With a wink, he turned his attention to the blender.

We were out the door just as the sun was tinting the sky pink. I had my school clothes with me, planning to change at headquarters.

“Normal day for you?” he asked as he walked me to my car. We’d drive separately so I could head to work afterwards.

I nodded. “Yep. When I get finished up at school, I’ll head over to the studio. I have three classes, probably won’t be home until after dinner.”

He looked down at me. “I have to work late tonight anyway, so that works.”

I nodded agreeably, liking that we could be independent but come together so naturally at the same time.

When we walked into headquarters we headed straight for the gym, only stopping to deposit our bags at Travis’s desk. We found Sid and Declan already warming up for whatever torture I was about to be put through.

They both raised a brow when they saw me. “You’re really going to do PT with us?” Declan chuckled.

I narrowed my gaze. “What, you think I can’t keep up?”

“No, it’s not that.” He shook his head, his eyes dancing with mirth. “More that I doubt Theo would hold up his end of the bet.”

“Well, I don’t back out of a bet.” I sniffed indignantly.

“Hey, you get full credit.” Dec threw his hands up in surrender.

The distant sound of the elevator heralded Theo’s arrival. “Fuck, you guys, I’m so—”

His complaint cut off immediately when he spotted me. I raised a brow. “You’re so…,” I prompted.

“Tired,” he grumbled petulantly.

“Sure you are,” I muttered, rolling my eyes.

Travis shot Theo an impatient look before his gaze turned to me. “You still want to do PT, babe? No pressure.”

I shrugged. “Sure, I’m here. Let’s do it.”

Within five minutes I knew why all the guys had washboard abs. After a warm-up, we started with sets of push-ups and sit-ups, doing more reps than I’d ever done in my life. I didn’t do nearly as many as the guys, but managed to pull off what I felt was a respectable amount.

Then we moved to interval training, during which my heart threatened to pound right out of my chest.
