Bound By Cage Box Set (Complete Series Books 1-4) : MMA Romance

by Brittany Crowley

  “How did you do all of this?” I ask in wonderment.

  “I’ve been working nonstop. With our baby girl coming into the world soon I wanted her to enter into our forever home. A place where she will feel safe and never have to imagine what love feels like. You don’t realize this, but this is also my dream. You may have had a dream house, but I had a fantasy too. You’re it and this sweet baby girl,” he places his hands on my belly, “completes a part I hadn’t even thought of yet.”

  I bury my face in his chest and sob. Perfection. That’s what Josh is to me. He is the white knight I never thought I needed but secretly hoped for.

  CHAPTER 15

  Ashlyn

  “Ever heard of shaken baby syndrome?”

  “Shut it bitch I’m excited!”

  “Shaken baby syndrome?” Josh asks with a tinge of worry.

  I roll my eyes then fix Savvy with a glare. Her smiling face lets me know exactly what she’s doing and that she’s hit her mark. She loves freaking Josh out with tiny things and I thought the best was when she said his penis would poke the baby in the eye. I was laughing until he vowed to remain celibate until the baby was born. It took three days and a call to the doctor to convince him we were fine. I could’ve killed her.

  We just landed in Vegas not too long ago and we just came up on the strip. I’m bouncing in my seat and can’t contain my excitement. I’ve only been to Vegas for that charity event and a year or so ago I came for the Britney Spears show. I popped in for two days which isn’t enough time to see all the sights. I’m really hoping Savvy and I can sneak away to see one of the female friendly shows. I’m not picky as long as some sexy men are gyrating their hips.

  We decided that it wasn’t fair for one of us to stay back for a few extra days, so we both came out and left the bar in the capable hands of Caesar. He’s become our bar manager with all that we have going on lately. Savvy travels a lot with Zander and I’m going on maternity leave in the not so distant future. He’s been bartending for a year now and we both trust him enough to let him run the show. Plus, he’s awesome.

  “So, what’s going on today?” I ask.

  “We just came from training so we’re free for the next few hours. How’s about we take you ladies out for a nice lunch in Vegas?”

  “Yeah, let us woo you.” Zander says while staring at Savvy. I’m imagining woo means something else right now and I wouldn’t mind getting wooed right about now myself.

  “Um…yes! I’m starving. Feed me!” I whine.

  Josh laughs and pulls me close to him. “Anything for you.”

  We pull up to a little restaurant a few miles outside the strip and exit the SUV. Zander opens the door and gestures for us to head inside. As I look around I’m surprised to see they don’t have any bodyguards with them. As I’m about to walk through the door I hear crazy loud music and a roaring engine which has me looking out into the parking lot. A little red convertible bombs around all the cars and pulls into a parking spot near where we’re standing.

  “You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.” Josh growls, clearly annoyed.

  “He has a death wish.” Zander grits out.

  “Does anybody want to fill us in?” Savvy questions.

  Before they have a chance, Matt Kingsley and a few other guys get out of the car. He’s looking quite ridiculous today wearing clothing that is 12 sizes too large and gold chains around his neck. The cherry on top of his douchey sundae is a hat that reads “pussy magnet”. Really? Is he completely serious right now?

  “Ashlyn, looking good girl. One piece of advice, lay off the ice cream. You seem to have let yourself go since the last time I’ve seen you.” He winks at me and reaches to open the door.

  Josh slams his hand against it blocking him from entering. “Matty, get out of here. Have you taken up stalking now buddy? Are you that infatuated with me that you know my every move? I’ll make it easier for you and have my PA send you my schedule.” He stares him down and I see Matt’s resolve waver a bit. But only a little.

  “I suggest you get out of my way Joshy boy or I’d gladly show you a preview of what’s coming your way Saturday night.” He steps up to Josh so they’re chest to chest. Well that escalated quickly.

  I step up to them and place my hand on Josh’s chest trying to push him back. He lets me, but I know it’s because he doesn’t want me involved in this. When he steps back far enough, I step in between him and continue to push him back a little more. Whack!

  I whirl around practically frothing at the mouth. “Tell me you didn’t just smack my ass!” I yell.

  Zander grabs Josh as he lunges for Matt. But nobody grabs me… too bad for Matt. I walk up to him, cock back my arm and smash him in the face with my hammer fist. He cups his nose that’s now gushing blood with both hands; leaving a vital part of his body open to my vicious moves. BAM! And ball shot for the win!

  Matt lies in a crumpled, bleeding mess on the ground of the parking lot as I breathe heavily. Savvy throws her arms around me while she laughs. “Girl, that was epic! Damn, guess he didn’t expect to be schooled by a pregnant chick.”

  “I’m hungry, let’s go eat.” I smile at Matt who is staring at me with hatred in his eyes and chuck him the bird. Then I turn on my heel and walk towards the door which Zander is holding open. Both him and Josh can’t contain their laughter.

  “I’ll be here all week.” I exaggerate a bow. Josh pulls me into his side and kisses my forehead. He bends down and places his lips at the shell of my ear.

  “My little badass. But for the record, if you try to Karate Kid someone else while you’re pregnant you’ll end up tied to my bed.” I shiver from his breathe on my neck.

  “Whose balls do I have to crush?” I ask excitedly.

  We follow Zander and Savvy to a booth in the back as Josh’s hand dips down and squeezes my ass. My body heats all over and I want to shove him into the nearest alcove, hell, I’d even take him behind a curtain. But sadly, there’s no secret rendezvous sexy time once my stomach grumbles. I scoot into the booth and my dreams of a big juicy bacon cheeseburger outweigh my fantasy of Josh pounding into me from behind. Can’t I have both though? He can hit me from behind while I eat the damn burger.

  “Are you pregnant with Xena the Warrior Princess? Where the hell did you learn moves like that?” Zander asks.

  “Savvy’s never showed you her moves? We went through a karate phase back in the day. It was what? Two years when we were 15 right Sav?”

  “I’d say it was more of a Brandon phase. He was a teacher at our school who taught Karate in his spare time. Ash had the biggest crush on him and made me take Karate so she could seem him outside school. He finally kicked us out when Ash accidentally flashed him a tit. Accidental my ass…” she mumbles the last part.

  “It was! I tied my knot wrong and it slipped open.” Busted.

  “That shit stays on like a chastity belt, no way did it just slip.” She laughs and I feel Josh squeeze my side.

  “You ladies have been holding out on us?” Josh chides.

  I shrug and we continue on with our lunch. The boys have some light training and some promo crap today and tomorrow. The weigh in is also tomorrow afternoon and I’m excited to be in the thick of things.

  “Where’s my dad? I thought he would have come to pick us up too.” Savvy asks. I totally forgot Mr. J was even here already.

  “Do you even have to ask?”

  “Craps table.” Savvy and I say in unison. She filled me in on his gambling problem after they went to Vegas last year, it’s not a big surprise.

  “And Mrs. Adams?” Savvy questions.

  “Blackjack.” Zander laughs.

  “They’re like a match made in heaven.” I sigh. I’m so happy he found her, or well, went for it seeing as they’ve been neighbors forever.

  A phone chimes and Zander pulls a cell out of his pocket. “That chicken shit went and bitched about Ashlyn. They’re saying she won’t be allowed at the fight now.”

 
“What?” I shriek.

  “Un-fucking-believable. Alright let’s get out of here so we can fix this.”

  “Wait, how are you gonna fix it?” Savvy asks.

  “Seeing as the Cage brothers are the headliners, it’d be a shame for us to come down with a horrible bout of food poisoning.” Josh winks at me as we head out of the restaurant.

  ***

  “Mmmmmm…” I groan.

  This dream is fantastic! My body is on fire and I’m barreling head first into the mother of all orgasms. I feel a hand slowly inch up my body and start massaging my right breast. That’s what I’m talking about. When slight pain shoots through my body as he roughly works my nipple, I open my eyes and realize I’m not dreaming. I gaze down and lock eyes with Josh who is feasting between my thighs.

  “Shit!” I arch my back.

  He’s going to town on my clit and right when I think it can’t get any better, he adds two fingers into the mix and my body ignites. I erupt as I scream out his name. He doesn’t ease up as his fingers continue pushing into me following the same movements as his tongue.

  “I can’t…” I’m unable to finish my sentence as his finger traces the crack of my ass and starts massaging the taboo flesh between.

  “Ahhhh!” I come hard, again, riding his hand and nearly launching myself off the bed. This time when the tremors subside he pulls back and removes his fingers.

  “Gorgeous.” He brings his fingers to his mouth and sucks them.

  “I can’t breathe, warn a woman next time.” I laugh.

  “Now where’s the fun in that Hellcat?” He kisses my inner thigh and slowly crawls up my body. The look in his eyes tells me he wants so much more and I don’t need to be persuaded. I reach my hand down and start pumping his enlarged shaft. Josh groans and places his forehead against my own.

  “Ash, you have to stop. We can’t fuck until after my fight, but god does my dick want you.” He caresses my lips with his own. I catch his groan in my mouth as I continue pumping and expertly tease his mouth with my tongue. If I get him where I need him he won’t be able to stop me. I line him up at my entrance and grind my hips on him. I cry out when he’s halfway in but he quickly retreats. Josh jumps off the bed and storms into the bathroom.

  I’m lying in bed naked panting like a freaking dog. He’s never denied me before so this is really out of character. I get up and wrap myself in the sheet before making my way over to the bathroom. The door is cracked so I walk right in and find Josh in the shower. I drop the sheet and decide to join him, my body craves being close to him. I know I shouldn’t have pushed him so close to his fight, so an innocent shower shouldn’t be a big deal.

  I go to jump in and shriek as I recoil backwards.

  “Are they out of hot water? Jesus Josh. Get out before you get hypothermia!” I yell.

  He turns towards me with a tortured look on his face. “It won’t go away.”

  Okay, clearly, he’s frustrated and I’m not really sure how to make this better. He still has a massive erection despite the cold water.

  “How effective are your trainer’s methods? Does abstaining really help?” I question. I don’t see how holding your jizz in makes you a better fighter. But I’m not a professional like they are.

  “I don’t know but I’m ready to say fuck it.” He reaches down and switches the handle from cold to hot. “Come here.” He growls.

  I comply and enter the shower. Josh pushes my back up against the tile wall and cages me in with his hands. One second he’s staring at me then the next our mouths are fused together. I wrap my arms around him and pull him into me. Well, as together as we can go around my swollen belly. Josh’s hands travel down my body until he reaches my ass. He roughly grips each cheek and lifts me up. My back still rests against the shower wall as he slowly lowers me onto his straining erection. When he’s seated to the hilt he sighs. Not a bad sigh, but a this is the best thing ever sigh. I have to agree with him, when he enters me everything ceases to exist. Everything becomes about us and how much we love each other.

  “Fuck.”

  “Don’t hold back.” I get out around my panting.

  Josh pulls his hips back and slowly grinds them back into me, leisurely, like we have all the time in the world. My eyes sense movement and I look to find our reflections in the mirror. As I see his sexy ass erotically thrusting up into me I cry out. I’ve never been in a situation so impassioned in my life. This man, god.

  “I love you.” I moan as I continue watching him.

  “Love you too.” He notices me looking at something and glances over his shoulder. When he sees our reflection, his eyes darken even more.

  “You wanna watch? See me thrusting balls deep into this pussy?” he carries me out of the shower and walks me over to the vanity. I cry out as he pulls out and places me on the floor. When he whirls me around and places my hands on the countertop telling me not to move them, I know something epic is about to happen.

  His hands come around and he cups both of my breasts roughly. I throw my head back on his shoulder enjoying the feel of his hands on my body.

  “These tits…” He groans as he continues working them. I grind my hips on his erection, feeling him hard and heavy at my back. Not able to wait another second I reach down and line his cock up with my center.

  Josh thrusts his hips forward and impales me. “Oh god!”

  “Look at me.” He growls. The rasp in his voice does things to me and lets me know he’s barely hanging on by a thread.

  I meet his gaze in the mirror. “If you look away from me I’ll stop.”

  I nod my head in understanding. He starts slowly again, thrusting in and out teasingly slow. When he starts picking up the pace I gasp. His cock is hitting just the right spot and I don’t ever want him to stop.

  “Right there!” I continue to meet his gaze as I bite my lip. He takes one of his hands off of my breast and slides it down my body towards my pussy. At first, he traces circles around my belly button then finally moves it a little more south. My hips start grinding into him as he plays with my clit.

  “I’m gonna come.” I yell.

  “Not yet, we come together.” Does he think this is like a romance novel? One cannot simply hold back an orgasm, especially when they’re getting fucked into next week.

  “I can’t.” I can feel my toes start to tingle as my orgasm is fast approaching.

  “Not. Yet.”

  I reach over my shoulders with both hands and grab ahold of Josh’s back. I feel my nails dig in as he pounds into me.

  “Now, come now Ash.”

  He doesn’t have to tell me twice as my barely contained climax hits me like a bat out of hell. All my senses are hyper aware of what’s happening to my body. His hips thrusting his cock in and out of me, his fingers pinching my clit, his hand kneading my breast. All of it a beautiful equation resulting in one earth shattering orgasm. Fuck.

  “Ashlyn.” Josh shouts as he buries himself balls deep inside of me. His final thrust pushes me forward and I have to bring my hands down to protect my protruding belly from hitting the counter of the vanity. After a few seconds, I look in the mirror. I find Josh resting his head at the middle of my back and I can feel his ragged breaths against my skin.

  When his head comes up and he meets my eyes in the mirror he smiles at me. “Not one regret.”

  I smile back and remove my trembling hands. That was the best fucking of my life and I want more. I’m feeling ravenous. Something about breaking the rules gets my engine purring.

  Josh pulls out of me and directs me back into the shower.

  “But I’m not done yet.” I pout.

  “You’re going to be the death of me. Well, I guess I already broke the rules. Go big or go home right?”

  I giggle as he chases me into the shower. I’m a sucker for a rule breaker.

  CHAPTER 16

  Josh

  My go to song before I head out for a fight is Lose Yourself by Eminem. I don’t know what it is but it
pumps me the fuck up. I’m huddled in the corner of my dressing room finishing up my preparations with my fight moments away. I’ve prepared all I could for this night and I’m ready to go, to teach Matty what happens when you run your mouth. Failure is not an option this time.

  I look over to my coach Stan, who’s glaring at me. I laugh thinking back to yesterday morning.

  “Josh what the fuck. You’re late dude.” Jay yells at me.

  Jay is on my team of trainers. He may not have the drive to be in the ring, but he sure knows his shit. He has an eye for what I’m doing wrong and what I need to improve on to take down my opponents. It was his suggestion that I pay special attention to blocking coming into this fight. The more I look at the fights Kingsley has been in I’m glad he was right. The dude comes out like a rabid animal trying to get in any shot he can. Leaving his opponents frantic and scattering as they’re trying to figure out what their next move is.

  “I’m here now, I’ll stay a half hour later. What’s up your ass bro?”

  “Oh, I don’t know? Making sure my brother from the womb doesn’t screw up his big match tomorrow night.”

  “Whatever, I’m still going to get the same training in. Stop being a pussy.”

  I start undressing so I can change into my work out gear. When I take my shirt off Jay bursts out laughing.

  “Dude, Stan’s gonna ream your ass out. I hope it was worth it.”

  I have no clue what the hell he’s talking about so I continue about my business. I throw on my shorts and sneakers and throw a tank over my head. As I walk by the mirror I halt and back pedal.

  “Christ.” I mumble.

  “I tried to tell you dude.” Jay pats me on the shoulder and heads out to the training facility.

  I’m not even mad, how can I be? I turn around and look over my shoulder at my reflection. I have four scratch marks on either shoulder. Claw marks from Ashlyn digging her nails into my back when her orgasm took over. Damn, I’m gonna get my ass reamed but I’m wearing this shit like a badge of honor.
