“How are you gonna tell Ivy?” Logan asks me as we walk to the elevator in our hotel.

“I’m not, my face will tell her everything.”

He presses the elevator call button and I exhale. “Damn, I need a drink,” I say as we step inside.

“You and me both.”

“You know, if we’d brought our own attorney that would have probably been done in half the time.” It’s after eight; the meeting lasted over three hours. Thank God the girls checked into the rooms rather than sitting there and waiting for us. As the doors open to the twenty-second floor, Logan points to the direction that we are headed and says, “Here you are, twenty-two eleven,” as we approach my room.

“Thanks for today,” I tell him as he walks off.

“You can buy me a drink later,” he says from down the hall. I knock on the door of the hotel room and wait for Ivy to open it. It’s not but a few seconds and her sparkling eyes meet mine. I step inside and she beams from ear to ear in excitement, waiting for me to tell her the news. But I don’t do that and my flat expression changes everything. She scrunches her eyebrows at me and asks, “What happened, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” I say, pulling her body to mine and brushing my lips tenderly against hers.

“Nothing happened, or nothing’s wrong?” she asks pulling her head further back looking me in the eye again. I smirk holding her closer, and press my lips to her neck.

She pushes me away, her demeanor filled with concern, and grabs my hand lifting up my right sleeve and then the left. When she finds the diamond-encrusted watch on my left wrist, she about slaps me. “You got fuckin’ signed?”

Slowly I nod, watching how she absorbs the news and how right away it makes her ecstatic. A huge grin breaks out across my face. “Why didn’t you just tell me?”

“I was playing. Plus, I needed to make sure you wouldn’t run for the hills.”

“Jesus Christ, Krane, you are such an ass.” She slaps my chest and I hold her wrists, her eyes getting wide when I control her like this. Looking down at my hundred-grand watch, it gleams in the light. I wasn’t even looking for a hundred-grand contract. I just wanted enough to survive, but ACM is no joke – they are the top of the top and gave me way more than that.

“Well, I’m your ass.” I slip the watch off and put it on her.

“You are,” she says smiling and flattens her hands on my chest, staring at the diamond Rolex. I let go of her wrists and she says, “Give me all the details.”

“Everything?” I ask.

“Yes, especially all of the important parts.”

“Umm, my first fight is in two months.”

“Against who?”

“Some new up and comer, should be easy from what Logan knows of him.”

“Where will it be?”

“They said Toronto, so you better get your passport ready.” She raises her eyebrows at me, liking the idea of traveling. “Logan will stay on as my primary trainer, I’ll fight out of Ethan’s gym, and if I want, ACM could get me set up with one of their camps to try out. But I told them that right now I don’t want to move, and they don’t have any camps in New York.”

“Wow, it sounds like you got everything you wanted.”

“Yeah, I mean, the money is gonna change our life, and the small things like the appearances and required fight apparel, I’ll learn to deal with.”

“So how much did you get?”

“A half a million fucking signing bonus baby, plus I’ll get fifty thousand for every fight to start. If I win, there’s a bonus too.” Ivy’s eyes gloss over with tears hearing the news.

“I’m so proud of you,” she says.

“Thanks, and the real bonus is it sounds like Ronnie is gonna be okay. He started to move his toes today and the feeling is coming back in his legs.”

“Thank God.” She hugs me tightly.

“I can’t wait to give you the world, baby.”

“You already have.”

“I couldn’t have done any of this without you. Thank you for pushing me.”

She reaches down unbuttoning my shirt and says, “Any time. So why don’t you pay me back?”

“I’d love to.”

“You know, I like you dressed like this.”

“I bet you do.” I guide her backwards with my body and hover over her, grinding my cock against her sex. “Don’t get used to it though ‘cause it’s not gonna last.”

She removes my shirt and I push hers upwards. Never getting tired of seeing her gorgeous body. I growl at the sight of her nipples and pinch one of them hard before clamping it in between my teeth. “Oh fuck,” she whines in pleasure, unzipping my pants.

I push against her hand; my cock needs the friction. I need to be inside of her. I want her. Finally, she gets my pants undone and I kick them off. Pulling her underwear to the side, I don’t waste one second before I clench the base of my shaft and slam into her.

Growling as her warm pussy accepts me, I work our bodies, stroking myself in and out of her. “Take my cock, baby.”

She grips for the sheets to try to hold steady, which sets me off. The way her body twists and moves, her noises, my cock riding her, it all puts me into overdrive and then I realize there is no need to rush. Yes, I can be rough, but in my own way. So I take my time, slowing things down a bit.

Pulling out of her, she looks at me concerned. “Come here,” I tell her and guide her to her knees. As we both kneel facing each other, I take the hem of her shirt and slowly lift it over her head. She watches my hands and how I undress her.

With one of her tits so perfectly in my mouth, I reach beneath her panties where her tight wet cunt waits for me. Sinking two fingers inside of her, I pull away and watch how her eyes contract from being under my control. “I love you, Ivy.”

“I love you. Are you okay?” she asks worried by my change in pace.

“Yeah, I just want to show you how much you mean to me.”

She looks down at our bodies, me with my fingers inside of her and my hard cock dripping pre-cum as I wait to fuck her again. “I think you were. Why did you stop?”

I remove my hand from her panties and she glares at me. “Like that, why are you stopping?”

“I felt like I was rushing things, which maybe I do sometimes because I lost Zoë and am afraid of losing you too.”

“I’m not going anywhere, baby.”

“You don’t know that.”

“Thinking of the past, I guess I don’t. But if my time does come, I want to go after you’ve fucked me rough and dirty, the way that I like. I love it when you push my panties to the side or bite my nipples. Please don’t change who you are, okay?”

I nod and take my thumb, flicking it over her tit. She grabs my cock bringing my eyes to follow the movements of her hand.

Christ, she strokes me so good.

Tilting my head back, I close my eyes and grunt out.

Her soft lips find my neck where she kisses a trail up to my ear and then whispers, “Fuck me hard, Krane.”

Taking my hand to hers, I stop her from stroking my shaft. The blood pumps to the tip, making me so stiff. My breathing is ragged and with my eyes as serious as ever, I flip her over and land one hard smack to her plump white ass. She yelps and shakes it for me to do it again. Pulling her panties out of the way, I hover over her. My cock is lined up with her pussy and her breathing has stopped as she waits for me.

“Tell me what you want.”

“I want you to fuck me hard.”

“I bet you do.” I nudge my dick against her and she pushes towards me. I pull away, teasing her and ask, “How do you want me to fuck you?”

She’s breathing again and in between labored breaths, her head is hung low as she is on all fours and says, “Hard and rough, ‘til I come.”

With her words, I bury myself inside of her. Sitting back up, just on my knees, I keep ahold of her ass cheeks as I work her. The room is filled with the noises of our skin slapping together. Her outstretched body glistens with sweat and she screams my name.

Landing a firm hit to the other side of her ass, I tell her, “Let me hear you.”

My command sets her off and in this moment, we are both lost. Lost from all reality. Nothing matters right now, but satisfying her. As the noises echo in the room and I watch myself moving in and out of her, I know I’ve never been happier.

A knock on the door startles me, but nothing can stop us. Drilling her deep, I let go grunting low as she screams into the comforter. “Yesssss, come on my cock,” I murmur probably a little too loudly, but nothing that we are doing is a secret.

“Krane,” Logan says through the door and knocks again.

“One sec!” I shout, spanking her as I pull my pants back on. Ivy giggles and before I open the door to the room, I see her sexy ass run into the bathroom.
