Hammer - Galactic Cage Fighters 5 by KD Jones Read Free Book Online Page A

Tomas was on the floor in front of the TV playing one of his games. “How are the two most beautiful girls on the entire ship?” He ruffled Lauren’s hair.
    Lauren blushed. “Fine. Are you looking forward to your next match?”
    “Sure. It will be interesting,” Zen answered, leaning his head back and closing his eyes.
    He didn’t seem to notice the way Lauren looked at him with stars in her eyes. Hammer noticed though. He didn’t like it one bit. His niece was too young to be checking out males. Especially one like Zen who went through females like most females went through lipstick.
    “Whatcha playing, Junior?” Zen asked Tomas.
    Tomas didn’t turn back to look at Zen but kept playing his game. “Voltan vs. Martian War Games.”
    “Cool. I’ll play you next time okay.”
    “Sure that’d be great.” Tomas continued playing.
    The door opened to Molly’s bedroom. Everyone turned to look. The kids were visibly disappointed when Molly walked out without her pink hair.
    “How do I look?” Molly asked the kids as she did a twirl. She had a smile on her face knowing they were hoping for the pink hair.
    “Fine,” Lauren said as she folded her arms across her chest and looked away.
    “Beautiful,” Little Kate answered.
    “What the hell happened?” Tomas slipped up by speaking aloud.
    “Tomas!” Hammer couldn’t believe Tomas would cuss.
    “Didn’t you wash your hair? It…uh…doesn’t look clean,” Tomas asked.
    “Tomas, what is wrong with you!” Hammer was embarrassed that his nephew was being so rude.
    “I didn’t wash my hair. I was going to wash it tomorrow. But if I look bad…” Molly touched her hair.
    “You look divine,” Zen reassured her, walking over to kiss her hand.
    “Thanks.” She gave the pretty male fighter a smile. He was attractive and suave. But his touch didn’t really do anything for her. She looked over at Hammer. He seemed angry. “We won’t be gone too long. If you need me just call my cell and I’ll come straight back.”
    Hammer was very tempted to tell her he needed her to stay, but that wasn’t fair to Molly. She deserved to have a life. “We’ll be fine. You do look beautiful.” She was freaking gorgeous. Her curves were accentuated perfectly. All for Zen. Zen and Molly made an attractive couple. He felt bitterness swell up toward his friend again. He hated the feeling.
    Molly gave him a wide smile. “Thanks. See you later.” She let Zen shuffle her out of the suite.
    Yeah, later . Hammer closed the door slowly so he could watch Molly walk away. If Zen was Zen, Molly would come back early in the morning and be completely head over heals for Zen. Females always fell for Zen. Hammer didn’t stand a chance. He sighed, closing the door the rest of the way. He hoped Zen appreciated what he was getting.

    “So, how do you like working for Hammer? Is he a heavy task master?” Zen asked when the waitress poured them a glass of wine.
    “I love him…I mean it…the job. The kids are challenging, but they are smart and funny. They just need a little direction and consistency.”
    “And Hammer, what does he need?” Zen probed.
    “Huh?”
    “Come on, Molly, I saw the way he was looking at you.”
    Molly blushed. “He was looking at me?”
    Zen snorted. “The male has a thing for you, a big thing. I don’t blame him, you are gorgeous and sexy.”
    “I don’t know about all that…I’m too tall and overweight.”
    “No, you are perfect just the way you are. Any male would be lucky to have you. But the question is, which male do you want?”
    Molly looked away. That was too easy to answer. But her answer didn’t matter. “If he was so into me, why did he let me leave with you?”
    Zen shook his head. “I have known Hammer a long time. He is the best male I have ever met. He is loyal to his friends and he is dedicated to his family. But as much as I love my friend, he can be a blind ass sometimes. He just needs a little shove in the right
