getting in to. “Tyler will never allow it,” I whispered,
leaning in close.
    A small smirk splayed across his lips. “Well then, I
guess it’s a good thing he just left.”
    “Kyle, no,” I hissed, smacking him on the arm. “Tyler
just made me manager. I don’t want to get fired.”
    “You’re a manager now? Look at you go. I think we
should celebrate.”
    “We’re not going to be celebrating anything if I
don’t have a job tomorrow.” Kyle looked over my head at the women
and walked around me. Groaning, I rushed to keep up with him.
    “Tyler’s not going to fire you, love. I mean, I
already got my ass kicked by Dean. Why not add a bunch of women to
the mix?” It didn’t help that he paraded to the front half-naked,
showing off his perfectly tanned and tattooed muscles. “Which of
you ladies want to work with me first?”
    Almost instantly, all of them lifted their hands in
the air. Kyle’s smug expression made me want to slap him. “Okay,
fine you can help. But if I get in trouble, I’m going to say you
forced me and there was nothing I could do.”
    “I’m okay with that.”
    Rolling my eyes, I focused on the ladies. “Girls,
don’t hold back. Give him hell.”

    KYLE HAD BEEN outstanding with the women. He’d
let them pound on him and gave encouragement every step of the way.
I wondered how the ladies would feel if they knew of his past.
    “Out of all the women, I think Sherry enjoyed having
you the most. Did you see her face? I’ve never seen it that shade
of red before,” I laughed.
    Chuckling, Kyle put his shirt on and zipped up his
gym bag. “Probably because she tried to cop a feel. That woman
scares me.”
    Shaking my head, I pushed him out of the room so we
could make our rounds through the gym. “Thank you for helping me
tonight. You surprised me.”
    He winked. “You’re welcome. What do you need me to do
now?”
    I pointed to the treadmills. “Make sure all the
machines are turned off and then move to the weights and straighten
them up. Once I check the rest of the stuff we can go.”
    He turned to head to his section while I started on
mine. “If I keep spending my time here, Tyler’s gonna have to put
me on the payroll.”
    “That’s not going to happen,” I laughed. Out of the
corner of my eye, I watched him bend down to straighten the
weights.  His muscles tightened and flexed as he moved them
around. Was it wrong that I wanted him to hold me again? Hell, he
could hold anything against me at this point. “Would you really
want to work here?”
    He glanced at me over his shoulder. “I don’t know,
but one of these days I’m going to need to find a job. I can’t live
off of my money forever.” He finished up his rounds and joined me
at my desk. Once I fetched my gym bag and phone, we were ready to
go.
    “What else do you do besides fight?”
    We started for the door and he shrugged. “To be
honest, not much else. Fighting was all I’ve ever done. I made
triple on my fights at the Dark Side compared to the UFC. I guess
it’s a good thing I learned to save money.”
    Opening the door, I waited for him to walk out before
locking it. “I’d say so. I’m sure you’ll find something. If you
find a way to get back into Tyler and Kacey’s good graces I know
Tyler will find something for you to do.”
    He chuckled. “And I can only imagine what that
something would be.”
    We walked side by side around to the parking lot and
noticed it was exceptionally dark. “The parking lot lights are out.
That’s strange,” I noted. My danger instincts went on full alert
and Kyle could sense it.
    He put his arm around my shoulders but kept vigilant
as we walked the rest of the way to our vehicles. Little did he
know I had a gun in my bag. I slipped my hand inside and felt the
cold metal on my fingers. Tyler understood my need to carry one and
allowed me to bring it to work. It helped me feel safe. When we got
to our cars, I expected someone to jump out, but no
