Love Tap(88)

“Come on sissy boy, let’s see how hard you really hit.” Les holds his hands up, wanting me to punch them as fast and hard as I can.

I raise my fists, ready to throw this f*cker down along with my bad reputation.

“So wait, you don’t want a traditional wedding topper?” Camden looks at me with a confused look as we stand in the posh La Adore Wedding. It’s a wedding planner franchise that Chloe found here in Chicago.

“No. Remember that game where you’re a red or blue fighter and you have to try and get the other’s head to pop up by punching them to win?” I start second guessing my choice; worried he wants a more traditional wedding.

“Yeah…”

“I want those on the cake. I saw it in a movie when I was a kid and have wanted it ever since. What do you think?” I bite my bottom lip nervously.

Camden laughs, before pointing at the paper our wedding planner has in his hands.

“You heard the lady. Fighting figures from a game.”

I smile, excited we’re on the same page.

The wedding planner looks mortified. He’s a young guy Chloe found, swearing he’d be perfect. Camden was all for it, but really I’d be fine going to the courthouse. I don’t need to spend thousands of dollars just to marry the man of my dreams.

Camden pulls his phone out and his eyes go wide.

“What?”

He doesn’t reply so I grab his phone from his hands and turn my back to him.

Looking at the screen it shows Silvia Machen being arrested for suspicion on conducting an underground fighting ring, and endorsing more than millions from the MFC. I can’t help but smile when I see who wrote the article.

Keegan.

It worked, the devil herself was taken out and Keegan is not a sex maid.

“Why do you have that look?”

I freeze.

“What look?”

“That one.” He points at my face.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I reply casually. His face goes into a panic when he realizes I had something to do with taking down The Underground.

“You know if any of Silvia’s team find out—”

“They won’t. There is nothing tying me to the information I sent Keegan.” I rub at my forehead nervously. I knew doing it was risky, but I wanted to take Silvia out, and this was the best way.

“Who is Keegan?”

“She was my old college roomie,” I explain.

He rolls his head back, and groans. His hands palming his face as he’s clearly frustrated that I did such a risky thing.

“I take this as an omission, and you know where liars get it.” He drops his hands, a serious look crossing his face.

I roll my lips onto one another, trying to keep from laughing. He wants to get me in the ass so bad, he’ll find any excuse.

His phone rings, and he snatches it from my hand.

He holds his finger up and walks outside.

“Alright, our cake maker has a nephew who has the game you’re talking about and said he could use it for the cake. So that is settled.” The wedding planner brushes his short dark hair from his flawless forehead.

Camden struts back in and before I can ask him another question he smashes his lips to mine.

“I got a fight, in seven months in Vegas with Jake ‘The Snake’,” he mouths against my lips. I pull away from him, elation taking over. “Oh my god! That is big!”

“The world needs to see that I’m the MMA heavyweight out of Chicago, not him.” His confidence turns me on so much I rub my thighs together to keep my wet panties from sticking to me.

“Wait, what is the date?” I ask, our wedding is in seven months.

“March twentieth.”

“Babe, that’s the day of the wedding?” My eyes widen as I point that tidbit of information out.

His face falls, panic setting in.

“Shit, I can—” I grab his wrist, calming him.

“It’s perfect.” I can see our wedding photos now, a busted lip and bruised cheek. “We will have a quick Vegas wedding, and have a big ceremony here in Chicago with friends and family,” I suggest, not wanting to do all of this big wedding crap anyway. This was all Camden’s idea.

“You sure?”

Grabbing his face I pull him to me.

“Positive.”





Epilogue


Seven Months Later



I watch Camden fight in the ring. His body is sweaty, his muscles bulging as he circles the ring. He’s the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. We’ve been training side by side every day for the last six months. We found a trainer in LA and flew them to Chicago to prepare Camden and I. Camden for this fight, and I have a fight next month in Detroit. WE are doing it. We are making dreams come true. We just had to have each other to make it happen.

The crowd is going wild, chanting Camden’s name as he takes ‘Jake the Snake’ to the ground. I stand on my toes, my fingers crossed as I watch Camden.

Camden stills as he straddles Jake on the floor. He looks to the side, looking for me. His extra push.

I shove past the MFC crew and into the stage lights where he can see me. I give my nod, and it’s all he needs. He flips Jake into a Rear Naked Chokehold and Jake instantly taps out. Camden jumps to his feet in victory.
