Chapter 23

Jessie

Dropping the weight onto the floor, I stand up and flex my shoulders. I glance up at Conor and Mikey finishing their pull-ups and stare unashamedly at their glistening bodies as their muscles flex and vibrate. Damn, these boys are fine! They have been working so much lately, they haven’t been able to fit as many gym sessions in, so I was very happy to see them stroll in halfway through mine this morning. It certainly makes pounding the treadmill more enjoyable when I have such a beautiful view.

“You going to stand there and stare at them all day, or you going to do a bit of work?” Liam chuckles in my ear as he comes up behind me.

“Actually, I’ve finished my workout.” I turn around and wrap my arms around him. “What are you doing in here?”

“Doc said I’m okay for very light cardio,” he shrugs. “Thought I’d have a very slow walk on the treadmill?”

“You want company? I can stay?” I offer.

“I’ll be fine, baby,” he slides his hand to my ass. “But some company later would be good?” he grins at me.

“Light cardio.” I arch an eyebrow at him.

“We can watch a movie and fool around. That’s light,” he chuckles and the wicked glint in his eye makes me experience an overwhelming a rush of love for him.

“You can’t. You promised Mikey that you’d finish watching that God-awful TV series with him tonight before he goes to work.”

“Shit, yeah. And Cobra Kai isn’t awful. It’s fucking epic!”

“Whatever you say, handsome.” I grin at him. “Enjoy your workout. And don’t do too much.”

Conor and Liam are between sets and walk over to us. “We’ll keep an eye on him, Boss,” Mikey says with a wink.

“Make sure that you do!” I lean over and give him and Conor a brief kiss on the cheek before I leave the gym.

As I’m walking down the hallway, I hear the ping of the elevator doors opening and I stop in my tracks. There is only one other person who has access to this apartment, but he’s not due back until tomorrow. My heart flutters in anticipation at the prospect of seeing him. I have missed him so much. I wonder if he remembers much of his drunken phone call to me the night before last. I got the impression he wanted to talk about something but he was holding back, as he often does.

He steps out of the elevator and turns straight toward me. As usual, he looks good enough to lick from head to toe, while I must seem like a hot, sweaty mess after my workout. Our eyes lock and I swallow hard as my pulse starts to race. Every single nerve ending in my body is aware of his presence. Goosebumps prickle along my forearms, and I literally stop breathing. He drops his bags onto the floor and walks toward me, and I just stand here staring at him like an idiot until he’s standing right in front of me.
