Christian's POV
I can't believe one simple response from her and my cock was rock hard in my pants. Fuck me this is torture. She is so fucking sexy in her fighting kit. I just made up my mind to get her a few pairs that say GreySteele. It would be so sexy, her wearing my name on that body. I know Elliot made a deal with Brax for Ana's safety. When Elliot gets in the ring he gets carried away and can't help himself. He is afraid of hurting Ana and so am I. I have Brax, Luke and Taylor on high alert to restrain him if we have to. I am so wound up at this moment. I don't ever remember feeling this out of control in my entire life. The things this women makes me feel is ridiculous. I hate the fact that all these fucker's are staring at her sexy body. The fight is about to begin and I know I will have to control my anger when she gets hit. I can already feel the tension in my whole body.
Round one: Elliot coming in hard trying to bully Ana with punch kick combinations. Twice in a row, Ana catches the low kick and shoves him down. Elliot tries to answer and Ana trips him again. Nice two over hands by Ana, making a good showing as an underdog, early. Elliot starting to get that lead upper to the body working it hard. Now Ana going to the body. Lands a nice knee inside the clinch. Elliot working the rope slips again. Elliot looks hurt as Ana starts throwing a big overhand. Elliot pouring on some offense in the end but Ana is walking him down with hard shots. Elliot making good use of the low kick. Elliot working some nice body kicks. Ana walks her man down to the ropes and adds another body shot for good measure at the bell.
Fuck this is bad. I can see Elliot is getting angry in there and my men can sense it to. I can feel my own anger rising. Taylor placed a hand on my shoulder to calm me down. I gave him a nod to let him know I am ok. I try and convince Ana to stop but she is not hearing it. I can already see a few bruises on both their faces. I insisted on helmets and pads but my stubborn girlfriend would hear nothing of it. I warn Elliot to calm it down but I can see he is pissed. Fuck. I make eye contact with Brax and he gives me a nod that he understands.
Round two: Elliot opening. Elliot trying to pour it on. Turning into a brawl here, which Elliot seems more equipped for. They clinch up and Ana throws him down. Now Elliot getting some offense going. But they clinch up and a brutal knee from Ana. Ana is landing better and keeping her man on the ropes but Elliot is throwing everything but the kitchen sink. Nice back kick to the body from Ana. Ana now landing to the body. Looks like Elliot is finally starting to fade. Two big knees from Ana. Elliot is in trouble. Getting kneed then eating punches when he gets backed up. Elliot getting beat here. There is a gash above his eye that don't seem to be holding to well. The repeated tossing to the ground in the clinch don't help. The bell goes again.
Fuck this is getting out of hand. They put a butterfly bandage on Elliot and he is ready to go again. I can see this ending bad. Two stubborn people against each other. I don't want to watch anymore but I can't walk away if my baby gets hurt I will never forgive myself. So I call Brax over to Ana's corner.
"Brax my brother is to angry to continue. He is going to hurt her." Ana replies.
"Christian stay out of this. This is between Elliot and I. I can handle myself in the ring. Now back off and let me take his ass down." Ana says. Shit she is so sexy when she is angry. So I give her my panty-dropping smile and she runs over to me and plants a kiss on me.
Round three: Elliot stalking in early. Elliot throwing knees from the outside with bad intentions. Ana answers with another knee, but she is hanging back a little while Elliot leaps towards her, swinging for the ropes. Nice jab by Elliot. Elliot seems like he wants to put her away with something fierce. Ana ducking and shoves Elliot down off a kick attempt. Elliot coming in with the old 1-2-3, no time for Ana to answers. Elliot again landing that left uppercut. Ana's trying to put on an offense but she can't quite find her man, anymore. Big right hand from Ana dropping Elliot to the mat. Elliot answers with a nice one of his own which made perfect contact splitting the top of Ana's eye open and dropping her to the mat. The bell goes.
This shit has gone to far. I rush to her side as Brax dabs at her eye. I notice her stitches have all been torn off. She is going to need more stitches. He puts on a bandage and she says she is going in again. Hell fucking no.
"Ana you are hurt. You can't do this anymore? The fight is over."
"Why the fuck not? You did not stop the fight when Elliot split his eye. This is our last round and I intend to win. Your brother is wound up enough to mess this up. He is fighting with anger not skill. Now back up I'm going in whether you like it or not. But I would prefer if you would trust me Christian." Fuck this is one stubborn woman. I glance at Brax and he nods at me and I realize he will protect her. Fuck I hate this. My mother is going to rip our ass's up tomorrow when these two fools walk in. I brace myself for the last round.
Round four: Ana goes first for the first time. Elliot not looking to go without an answer. Ana lands some hard kicks to the body and legs. Those are definitely going to bruise. Elliot throws a nice spinning heel kick that partially gets through landing Ana on her ass again. Ana is not looking to go without a fight. Ana landing a few good kicks to the body with such powerful force. Elliot putting on a brave fight but he is showing his rage. Ana landing knees in the clinch. Elliot gets lit up by a three punch combination. Elliot throws a fierce knee to the outside then lands a nice hook upstairs. Ana getting a nice jab going. Elliot answers with his own jabs. Ana goes in with some high low combinations to break the stalemate. Ana puts in a nice knee. Ana can do no wrong in the final minute. Her calmness is keeping her in the game. Elliot's anger is causing him to make stupid mistakes. A nice flurry exchange but Ana gets the better of it. Elliot is still swinging when Brax and Taylor stop the match.
Chapter 13
Everyone's POV
Brax – Fuck this is an intense fight. When Elliot told me he zones out in a fight this is not what I expected. He gets really brutal. Lucky for Ana she always trained with the biggest toughest partner or she would be on the mat out cold by now. They are both pretty banged up at this point serves them right for not wearing gear. We had no choice but to stop them before someone gets really hurt. I could see the tension coming from Mr. Grey the entire time Ana was in the ring. He is one lucky bastard to land a women like her.
Taylor – Fuck this got really bad. I would have stopped this fight at the first round. I did not think in a million years the boss would have just sat back and watched. I could see the tension in his jaw as he was grinding his teeth to stay calm. This little lady sure can take a hit. Don't get me wrong. I have seen some woman fight but not like this. She is so calculated and precise with her moves. I can already see they both have purple bruises in a few places. That punch Ana got that tore her stitches should have made he stay down, but been stubborn as she is she refused to even when the boss tried to insist. I have never seen anyone stand up to the boss like that. He was stunned himself. We were forced to step in and hold Elliot back in the end as he was taking it to far. I have Grace waiting at Elliot's Apartment to stitch Ana and Elliot up.
Luke – Fuck please explain to me exactly why I am needed as her bodyguard, because by the looks of things I am not needed. Maybe I am around as an extra set of eyes. I do feel sorry for the bastard who does try to get on her wrong side. This was a good fight but the boss stopped it before it got to out of hand. Things were getting a bit to tense in the ring. Mr. Grey sure struck gold when he landed that piece of ass.
Elliot – Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I am so pissed at myself for loosing it in the ring. I warned them but they would no listen to me. I can't even make eye contact with Ana. I hate that I drew blood. I will never forgive myself. I want to just get out of here and disappear for a while. I climb through the ropes and walk to the showers. I hope they would just leave me alone so I can slip out of here without anyone noticing. I am a complete fuck up and deserve the beating I got from her.
Christian – That was fucking intense. I never want to go through that fucking shit ever again. I can see the guilt on Elliot's face when he went to the lockers. He is not going to get over this easily. He deserves to feel bad for loosing it like that but I also feel bad foe persuading him to do it. He should have never made a bet in the first place knowing his temper. I better go and speak to him. As I get up I feel a hand hold me back. It's Ana.
"Christian let me go. This is my fault. I forced him into this." I nod at her and she walks off to the men's lockers. I should not have forced him into this. Maybe he will forgive me when he see's the super bike I bought for him.
Ana POV
Fuck me. I could feel the anger flowing off Elliot. I did not know he could get so wound up. Never have I seen him like that before. I can already feel the soreness from his powerful blows. I may even have a few bruised bones but I don't dare tell anyone. Fuck that blow to my head made me see stars and birds singing. I get into the locker and he is sitting with his head in his hands bent over his knees.
"Elliot are you ok?" He looks at me and I see pure rage. I kneel on the floor between his legs and look up at him. He slowly touches each bruise that is forming on my pale skin making me wince.
"Ana what the fuck happened in there? Look at what I have done to you I knew this whole thing was a bad idea. I am so sorry. I will never forgive myself and neither should you. You and Jose keep the apartment I am moving out."
"Are you fucking crazy? I asked you to fight and I will do it again. These marks will heal. I am not the little weak girl you make me out to be. If I were you I would take a good look in the mirror at your own complexion. I gave as good as I got. Your pretty face is no better than mine. Should I be mad at myself for every bruise you going to have. What about that cut above your eye? Maybe I should pack my things and go for hurting you."
He looks at me with his head slanted and I can see he is deep in thought. He gets up and walks to the mirror and touches his bruised face then comes back to me. That sure as hell broke the ice and he turns and smiles at me.
"That's better I was wondering where that pretty smile went to."
"Stop calling me pretty."
"Ah but you are. Especially with the blue eye you are going to have to explain to your mom tomorrow." And we both burst out into laughter. I stand up and haul him to his feet and go in for a tight bear hug.
"Are we good now? No moving out and avoiding me?"
"Yes we are good. Now lets get cleaned up. Order some pizza and beer and chill in the hot tub at home."
"That sounds like heaven. Last one done has to go to the lobby and collect."
I scramble out and run to the ladies showers. It takes me a minute to get dressed and I am chuffed. I am out before Elliot. He strolls out and shakes his head then says.
"I already figured you have a bodyguard to collect the takeout so there was no rush."
And we giggle again. Christian takes us all home with the promise to go to his club later in the week with Brax and his crew. We also decided to change our date to an early breakfast so we can watch the sunrise together. This will keep my mind on the emotional day ahead of me. I so can feel my body is going to be so sore tomorrow. I am trying to lean my weight on Christian for support. To my surprise my wonderful man scoops me up and carries me. I don't complain. I just lay my head and hand on his chest. I felt his whole body tense and he stopped dead in his tracks. He had a look of pure terror on his face even his eyes were tightly shut. I was so frightened I jumped out of his arms and started to back away while I was apologizing for touching him. I didn't know what I had done. His breathing became so ragged. Elliot comes to whisper in my ear that I should have not touched him on his chest, its Christian's no go zones. I am so embarrassed. I was not made aware of this. I back up away from Christian and keep apologizing. To my surprise he snapped out of it and step to me. He scoops me up again and holds me close to him taking my hand in his and putting my head back on his chest. This time he asks me to keep my arms around his neck. I could only nod a yes. I guess this conversation will come with more trust.
