Chapter Seven

Three days later, Meghan sat at the edge of a fighting ring. There were so many people packed into a tiny space, cheering as two men seemed intent on murdering each other on sight.

This was not legal.

She knew that.

There were no boxing gloves, and the floor was covered in blood.

Other than the announcer, there was no one there to be a referee for the fights. Also, last time she checked, kicking someone during a legal fight wasn’t allowed.

Every time a blow landed, she didn’t cheer; she winced and tried to look away.

Since her and Damon’s argument outside of her old apartment building, he’d been intent on taking her everywhere with him.

She didn’t have a guard now.

Nope, she had Damon.

He took her everywhere, and even if she had to excuse herself to use the bathroom, he followed. There was no escape.

It was weird. Even though in some way, she now had less freedom, she actually enjoyed being around him.

Now when it came to business like this, Damon seemed determined to show her another side of the world she’d once tried to defend.

Wealth filled the room as they threw hundred-dollar bills to see the bloodshed.

When another blow landed with the sickening echo of a crunch, she looked at Damon, who was watching her.

“Don’t like fights?”

“I can’t stand the sound of breaking bones. It … brings back memories.”

He watched her, but she couldn’t help herself.

Leaning forward, she rubbed at her ankle, once again feeling the old shooting pain in her leg. It didn’t help that she had on heels.

“Do we have to stay to see the fight?”

“No. I had no intention of staying this long. Come on.” He took her hand, and she was relieved as they walked out into the fresh air of the night.

After a long day at his gym where she watched and listened to his business, she sat in his office following his instructions, doing everything a secretary would do. Copy papers, answer the phone, deal with his coffee, and of course make notes.

For the most part, it looked like he ran a legit business.

Then she’d see a guy or a woman, and they’d start to beg for an extension, and the reality of his work made it impossible to ignore.

He was a monster to the core, and yet, she found herself drawn to him.

His life wasn’t hers.

She hadn’t grown up trying to fight for her life.

Her parents had been loving, caring. They’d gone out of their way to make her happy. Dancing had been her passion until it was taken away. They hadn’t allowed her to become depressed by her lack of ability to dance.

They helped her to change her path, to find another life that she’d enjoy.

Damon opened the car door for her, and she climbed inside.

A beautiful, long evening gown had been brought to the gym, and he’d asked her to wear the outfit for him tonight. So she had.

The dress was long, red, and molded to her curves like a second skin. She felt sensual, sexy, ready to take on the world.
