Caged (Bound by Cage Book 1)

  “Fucking right sweetie, don’t take his shit! YOU FUCKING SUCK ALVEREZ!!!!!” I beg my Dad to sit down as more eyes turn towards us, people figuring out that I’m the one he is singling out. At this point I could care less if people know I’m with Zander, I don’t want him to think I’m ashamed of him. I’ll try talking to him tonight about it. People are looking at me out of curiosity, nobody knows why Alverez was looking at me, for all they know I’m his flavor of the week. Gross.

  After they leave the stage the place starts to clear out. We hang around waiting on Zander to tell us where to meet him. Jayden throws his arm around my shoulders after he reads his text message announcing we are going to meet up with Zander at a restaurant right down the street. They explain to me because the weigh in is over, he can eat a proper meal because he barely ate anything today in anticipation for the weigh in. I guess even the slightest amount of food can make you over the weight class if you are close to the top.

  We are seated at the same booth in the back as last night as I see Zander making his way towards us with a serious scowl on his face. He scooches in next to me and plants a kiss on my cheek. I have no idea what Alverez said to set Zander off but I need to lighten the mood or this whole meal is going to be awkward for everyone.

  “Babe, why were you the only one that had to get weighed in wearing only your undies? Did you hear all the women yelling in the back? I thought I was going to be forced to shank someone!” the table erupts in laughter which draws a few stares because we’re in a classy place.

  “I didn’t want to risk being over. I have been hovering all week right at the line and sweatpants can add a pound to your weight.” He leans into my ear and growls, “you being jealous is sexy as hell baby,” he nips my ear causing me to shiver. We continue on with dinner as I watch Zander inhale a huge dinner of steak and mashed potatoes. I guess he has to eat light starting mid-day tomorrow because he doesn’t want to feel bloated but he still needs his strength for the fight.

  “Did you guys check in to your rooms yet? I didn’t see any of your luggage.”

  Jay starts laughing. “Sav, we are your roomies for the next two nights! I would say keep the fucking to a minimum but I know my boy here,” he throws his arm around Zander, “is forbidden to blow his load until after the fight.”

  Zander shoves his arm off of his shoulders and smacks him in the back of his head directing Jay towards my Dad with his eyes. When they make eye contact, I’m sure Jayden’s going to shit his pants. My Dad is full on glaring at him with narrowed eyes while pointing his steak knife towards him.

  “Jayden I like you, I really do, but if I ever hear you use the word fuck and my daughter in the same sentence again, you will no longer be able to fuck since I will stick this knife straight through your dick.”

  For emphasis, he angrily stabs the knife into his steak so it is standing straight up all while keeping eye contact. I notice the slow bob of Jayden’s Adams apple as he swallows hard and nods his head breaking eye contact. I look over to my Dad who has a big grin on his face as he winks towards me.

  It’s getting late and tomorrows the big day, so Zander and I excuse ourselves to head back to the suite giving my dad a ride as well. His brothers opt to go out for the night claiming they’re young and single as fuck. Jayden’s words not my own. I narrow my eyes over at Josh and when he notices he starts to blush. Gently grabbing my arm, he pulls me to the side for a minute.

  “I want you to know I would never do anything to jeopardize what’s starting between Ashlyn and myself. We may be taking it on a friend’s basis right now, but I know it will turn into something more when she’s ready and I won’t throw that away for some no strings one night stand in Vegas. She’s it for me, I can feel it in my gut. I just want you to know that.”

  Leaning in to kiss my cheek he walks away to join his brothers. I’m still standing there in awe when Zander walks up to me.

  “What’s up baby? You have a dopey look on your face and I’m not the one that caused it, I don’t like it.”

  I look up to him, “I think your brother is just what Ashlyn needs, I just hope he doesn’t hurt her.”

  The three of us head towards the car waiting outside and get in. “I’ve never seen Josh talk about a girl the way he talks about Ash. I think he realizes how special she is, he even asked me about our relationship. He said he can see himself with her for the long haul and wanted to know if that’s what I felt for you.” Zander turns to face me on the seat, “If he feels even a tenth of what I feel for you, they will be just fine.” Leaning in for the kiss we keep it brief because my dad is in the front seat no doubt eaves dropping.

  “24 hours” I whisper to him.

  Getting to the hotel we opt to be dropped off at the back entrance so we don’t have to deal with the paparazzi. Dropping my dad off on his floor we say our goodnights to him. When the elevator door closes, Zander pins me up against the wall.

  “After my fight, I don’t plan on coming up for air for a few days. I hope you’ll be content never leaving the hotel room for the rest of the weekend baby.” The hunger in his eyes and the grittiness of his voice has my pussy soaked and throbbing with need. I blow out a breath as we continue our walk to our suite, his hand at the small of my back. The heat of his hand has me shivering, not at all helping the ache between my legs.

  Tomorrow everything changes for Zander as he goes into the biggest fight of his life. Whether he wins or loses, he will always have my support unconditionally. We fall asleep in each other’s arms after a few minutes, both of us exhausted from all the events of the day. I wake up a few times during the night, what can I say? I’m a worry wart. I try not to move around so I don’t wake up Zander. By the time 5 am rolls around I realize I won’t be able to fall back asleep. I gently roll out of his embrace and out of bed, thankfully not waking him up in the process.

  I make my way out to the kitchen to get started on breakfast, Zander will be up in about an hour for a light workout. He plans on taking it easy today until his fight tonight. As I’m cracking the eggs to make an omelet, I hear moaning coming from the living room. Me being me of I have to go and investigate, immediately regretting my decision. I walk into the living and see Jayden pounding away at some blonde bimbo from behind while he bends her over the couch. They are facing away from me not realizing they currently have an audience.

  “WHAT THE FUCK? MY EYES!”

  Startled from my yelling Jayden pushes off from the bimbo which sends her flying onto the couch while he trips over his pants and goes flying through the air, dick flopping until he hits the ground with a thud. Seeing him lying on his back groaning while his legs are wide open makes me want to scratch my eyes out. Covering my eyes, I turn around to run for the kitchen immediately hitting a wall of muscle. I look up into Josh’s amused eyes, he is only wearing a pair of boxer briefs. Do none of them believe in modesty for crying out loud!

  “WHAT THE FUCK JAY?” Zander yells from the top balcony of the stairs. I cringe when I hear the anger in his voice as he thumps his way down the stairs. This kind of stress is the last thing he needs before his fight and I realize I need to deescalate this situation fast.

  “Babe go back to bed, I’ll take care of it. There is nothing to see here. Jay was just…” I’m at a loss for words on exactly what Jay was doing. “Well whatever it was it’s over now, go back to bed you still have another hour before your alarm goes off.” I make a hand gesture like I’m swatting a fly.

  The bimbo pops her head up over the couch when she hears Zander’s voice and gives him a flirtatious smile. “Well, well, well, if I would have known you were here I would have traded up sweet cheeks.”

  Hell to the no fucking way. Who does this bitch think she is? I march over to her and pull her off the couch by her hair and march her to the door in all her naked glory.

  “You better not be fucking looking!” I shout over my shoulder to Zander.

  I open the door and throw her out into the hallway not even caring, she�
��s a big girl, she can figure it out. “Get the fuck out bitch, and if I ever see you even so much as glance at him again I’ll fucking cut you!” I slam the door with as much strength as my arms allow me to. I angrily march back to the living room where all the boys are currently laughing. Apparently, Kyle decided to join the party also only while wearing his underwear.

  “What the fuck guys? Mixed company present, go and put some freaking clothes on!” staring them down I notice a tent in Kyle’s boxer briefs and quickly look away. Gross.

  “I’m sorry to point this out Kyle but its staring right at me, please do something about it, put it away, tuck it somewhere I don’t care. I do not want to see what any of you are packing.”

  “It’s morning,” he mumbles.

  I turn and narrow my eyes on Jayden who now is covering his dick with a throw pillow.

  “Is this a fucking brothel? Does the couch just scream “I need to fuck a whore here?”

  He doesn’t look embarrassed or remorseful which pisses me right off. “Do I need to throw you out into the hallway too douchebag? Today isn’t about you! This is Zander’s fight day, the biggest fight of his career I might add. So please tell me what the fuck were you thinking when you have a freaking bedroom! This isn’t a fucking Frat house!”

  I’m breathing heavy as Zander comes up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist. I know he’s trying to calm me down because I’m acting like a shrieking nutcase, but I’ve never really been around a bunch of guys before, it’s all new to me.

  “I don’t know what the big deal is, this is what we’ve always done, even Zander.” I stiffen when he mentions Zander. I know he’s been with a lot of girls, but I don’t need to hear about it or the fact he had no shame in fucking someone publicly. I pull out of Zander’s arms and go upstairs to the bedroom to calm down. As I’m heading up the stairs I hear Zander yelling at Jayden. Jay’s big mouth is really starting to piss me the hell off.

  I’m almost to our bedroom when Zander grabs my elbow, spinning me around to face him. I look at the floor, I’m too angry to look him in the eye. “I need some time Zander. I’m going to go and take a shower.”

  He pulls me into a tight hug not letting me go as I squirm to get free. “Baby, Jay’s a fucking moron, please don’t listen to him, I don’t want to start out today fighting. I’m going to straighten them all out after we shower together. They aren’t used to having a lady around when we are away at fights. If mom ever comes to my fights, which is rare because she hates Vegas, she always has a different room not wanting to even deal with those three. Please can we start this morning over again?” I nod my head knowing he is skirting around the issue of his supposed public fucking. I don’t really want to hear about it anyway so I concede. Zander directs me to our room where we shower. It’s definitely not as fun when you can’t bump uglies, I can’t wait for his fight to be over.

  CHAPTER 16

  We head downstairs to have breakfast, hopefully I can salvage what I started earlier. As we round the stairs I notice all three brothers fully dressed and currently sitting at the table with food in front of them. They tell us the other two plates at the table are for us and I eye them skeptically. I can’t make eye contact with Jay though, I have never walked in on anybody getting it in before, even Ash. There has to be some unwritten rule out there that states not to bang on the couch of a communal living room where other people walk in and out of.

  As fate would have it, I have to sit right next to him. He nudges my shoulder after I sit down with his own and when I don’t acknowledge him he starts to laugh. “Listen Savvy, I know seeing a cock as large and manly as mine has made you speechless. I know what you’re thinking, why didn’t I get the brother with the gifted dick? Why did I have to get stuck with Zander’s tiny little tally whacker? We just have to throw this all on the table so moving forward we are not uncomfortable around each other. I know every time you see me you’ll be yearning for my impressive member, but just know I wouldn’t do that to my brother. Bros before ho’s right Z?” he holds his hand up looking for a high five from Zander.

  Zander fakes like he’s going in but instead punches him hard in the shoulder. “Mother fucker!! Z you know I bruise like a peach, mom is not going to be pleased,” he’s rubbing his shoulder as if someone just shot him.

  “The reason why I’m uncomfortable looking at you isn’t because I secretly want to fuck you. I actually feel bad for you Jay, you didn’t see that chicks face. She was bored out of her mind waiting for you to stop fucking her like an erratic jack hammer and be done, which I can tell probably takes you all of 30 seconds. Why do you think she was in such awe when she saw Zander? Women that whore around like that have a big dick radar and hers was going off the second Zander entered the room. I can also tell you that seeing the wood that Kyle was sporting through his undies earlier was way more impressive than what I saw flopping around on you.” I look at Kyle apologetically, “I mean that in the least creepy way possible, it was just out there I couldn’t help but look, but I would appreciate it if you all wear clothes when I’m around. I think of you all as my brothers, I don’t want mental images of your dicks thank you very much.” I dig into my food starving all of a sudden making sure to keep my noises to a minimum for Zander’s sake.

  “Baby, I think you fit in just fine with this family. I love that you don’t put up with any of their shit, you are seriously amazing,” he reaches in giving me a loud kiss on my cheek. “And seriously, putting Jay in his place makes me love you even more.”

  We both freeze and look up at each other, I don’t think he meant to let that slip out. He looks down at me with such love in his eyes. “Shit, I didn’t want to say it like this, at a table with my brothers after you just saw half of their dicks. Here come with me for a second baby,” he takes my hand and pulls me into the kitchen, picks me up and puts me on the counter.

  “Savannah Marie Jenks, ever since I saw you stalking me from the sidewalk, I knew you were it for me. Every day we’ve been together has me falling more and more in love with you. I love you so much Savvy,” he leans in and kisses me while placing his hands on either side of my face as I kiss him back trying to convey all of the emotions I am feeling. As our tongues tangle with each other I run my fingers through his hair trying to deepen the kiss. Slowly he works his hands from my shoulder all the way down to my ass, cupping it and pulling me to the edge of the counter causing our two most sensitive areas to meet. Pulling back after a few minutes we are both breathing heavy as I look up into his eyes. “I love you Zander, so much. I knew from the first moment I saw you that you were a game changer,” his nostrils flare as he crushes his mouth to mine once again as I softly moan.

  “Savvy I think you’re about to break one of your new rules in there!” I hear Jay yell from the dining room table. We pull apart and start laughing.

  “I’ve had a taste of your other life and I know that I can handle it. It will take some time to get used to the money thing, but I’m ready to go public whenever you decide that is.”

  “You make me so fucking happy baby. Why don’t we do it naturally by not hiding anymore? Thinking about showing you off to everyone, I’m so fucking thrilled.”

  “Me too,” I whisper back.

  Lifting me off of the counter he picks me up in the air and spins me around before we entwine our fingers together and make our way back to the table where we are met with a round of applause from Zander’s brothers. I curtsey, then sit down to finish my breakfast, staying connected with Zander’s hand in mine resting on my thigh the whole time.

  The rest of the day passes by in a blur. Zander had an early morning training session and his own pre-fight rituals I left him to. I decided to spend some time with my Dad while he is busy so we walk around Vegas a bit which leads us to the casino. I’m starting to think my Dad might have a little gambling problem. We get a late lunch at one of the infamous buffet’s then head back to our rooms to get ready. I tell him to meet me in the lobby at 5 o’clock sharp wh
ile giving him my narrowed glare. “No funny business old man, I refuse to be late.”

  When I walk into the suite the air in the room is different. I look around and see the three amigos sitting on the couch watching a movie. “Hey guys, where’s Zander?”

  Kyle looks up to me clearly not knowing that I entered the room. “He’s up in your room trying to get in the zone. All he does on fight day is listen to music and try to psych himself up.”

  They all look towards me with nervousness in their eyes, I guess I’m not the only one a little on edge today. I head up the stairs hoping I’m not going to bother him or ruin his concentration. I really don’t know what to expect of today never having gone through a fight day before. As I go through the door I find him lying in bed with his earbuds in and his eyes closed. He looks like he might be sleeping until his eyes pop open. He pops his head up sensing movement and gives me his crooked grin while he takes his earbuds out.

  “Hey baby, how was your afternoon?” he gets up and walks over to me, pulling me into a hug.

  “It was good. Dad’s going to meet me downstairs at five. When do you leave?” Zander told me that he needs to head over to the venue earlier than the rest of us to meet with his trainers, get some press out of the way, then chill out and get in the zone before his fight.

  “I’m heading out of here in about ten minutes. I was hoping you’d make it back in time so I could kiss my good luck charm,” he leans down giving me a scorching hot kiss and I immediately feel him harden against my stomach.

  “I can’t wait until tonight Savvy, I’m in a constant state of hardness whenever I’m around you. It’s starting to get fucking painful!”

  He steps back and goes to grab his bag while muttering to himself, “Jay’s dick, Kyle’s ass, Jay kissing Josh…” I chuckle knowing he’s trying to deflate his situation. I lay down on the bed waiting for him to get all of his stuff together and head out. Leaning over me he gives me one last lingering kiss. When he goes to get up I grab his face between my hands, pulling him to me so he’s a couple of inches away. “Good luck babe. I know you are going to annihilate Alverez! I am going to be there rooting you on the whole time. I love you so much.” I give him a quick kiss.
