My Future Husband

Chapter 41

My new one-day-he-will-be-my-brother runs drills with me, the sweat pouring off both of us by the time the doors to the warehouse open, and I get to see the one pair of hazel eyes that outmatch his.

My Shorty.

“Hey babe.” Milo jumps straight out of the ring, Josh not giving a fuck about how drenched in sweat he is before pulling him against his expensive suit, kissing him like they haven’t seen each other in weeks.

“Get a fucking room! I’ve got a kid here!” May covers Teal’s eyes, chuckling to herself as she walks towards the ring. She’s exhausted, she’s been in the cafe all day, so how the hell is she still this beautiful? “There’s Daddy.”

You’re not allowed to say that word. It feels very fucking different when you do it.

She hands Teal up to me, but I pull off my shirt first to try to wipe away the sweat before I take him.

“My face is up here, Shorty.” But you're welcome to look at me like that any fucking time.

“Don't flatter yourself.” It would be harder to do if you weren’t blushing so much. “You need to stop eating so much mac and cheese, you've got rolls coming.” Is she fucking joking?

I take Teal from her and stand tall, leaving him on my hip as I look down at my bare chest. She’s delusional, I’ve been working off so much frustration in here that I’ve never been this shredded.

“You just trying to make me drag you in here and remind you who the champ is, Parker?”

“Bitch please, how hard could it be?” Oh, you're about to find out. “It’s just playing pretend fights.”

It’s war.

“Get in.” I sit on the middle rope, opening them up for her. “Unless you're scared you're gonna get your ass kicked by a pretend fighter?”

“You think you could kick my ass?” So fucking hot when she’s mad.

“No, Shorty... I know I can kick your ass.”

“He knows she’s the only Thompson-Parker hybrid, right? Does he have a death wish?” Josh gulps.

“It’s a shame, I was starting to like him.” Thanks for the faith, Milo!

I’ve never been afraid in the ring before, this is the one place I know that I rule above all else, but then she throws her bag down on the floor, standing on the bottom rope and throwing herself over the top instead of stepping through the gap.

That was fucking sexy.

“I’m about to squash you quicker than a Big Show heel-turn.” Oh fuck, she’s using wrestling lingo... She’d better stop that before I just fuck her right here in the middle of the ring.

The boys move to the corner, so I set Teal down by them on the mat, listening to him chuckle every time he feels the bounce in the ring.

“You want me to teach you the basics first?”

“Brie used to watch this stuff like it was free porn, I’ve got it.” She bounces off the rope next to Teal, his squishy little ass coming right off the floor before he lands again in a fit of giggles. She’s actually pretty decent for her first time.

“Come on then, I’ll give you a free shot, take me down.” She doesn’t hesitate, bouncing off the other side and running full force into me so I land flat on my back. Of course I wrap my arms around her, can't have that perfect body of hers getting hurt.

“See, that wasn't that hard.”

“Oh that wasn’t the hard part.” I grip her thighs, flipping us over so she lands on her back, before pinning her wrists to the mat. “It's keeping me down. Want to try again?”
