unnerving the first time, isn’t it?”

    I look up and nod, noticing that he’s staring at me with an expression of intrigue. The penetrative gaze he has moving along my body sends a chill through my body that vibrates against my dampening sex. He smiles, this time not a fake smile, but an adorable smile that nearly makes my body explode.  

    “It bothered me a little the first time I entered the arena. It was a place here in Baltimore, but an amateur ring,” I walk closer to him, his voice drawing me into his story, “I was about a hundred pounds lighter fighting a guy about fifty pounds heavier than I am now,” Luke chortles as he recalls the memory.  

    “Did you beat him?” I sit down beside Luke, spreading my legs out in front of me and crossing them below my knees.  

    “I did actually,” Luke beams, “But I didn’t beat the angry mob that came after me when they lost their bets against me.”

    Luke and I both laugh in unison. I’m quickly enraptured by the sound of happiness coming from deep within his chest. I watch as his face brightens up almost immediately from the sullen expression he had shortly after the fight. Nervously, I begin fumbling with my backpack on my lap, drawing my focus to it. I need to distract myself away from his handsome face before my aching vagina causes me to do something I might regret.  

    Suddenly, Luke eases his massive body through the bottom cord. My eyes widen as I watch his muscles flex and stretch as he reaches for something on the ground outside of the enclosure. Hungrily, my orbs run along his shorts and lock onto his massive bulge. The way his pants contour around his shaft displays perfectly the beautiful outline of his impressive root. I bite my bottom lip and quickly look away, trying to control the throbbing happening in the muscles deep below my stomach.  

    As he comes back up, I notice his arm flex. When he’s finally up, in his hand is a case of beer. My mouth begins to salivate as I stare at the sexy man beside me and the thought of relaxing the mood with a delicious beer.

    “You’re old enough, right?” Luke asks as he grabs two beers out of the case.  

    “I’ll be twenty-two next month,” I smile sweetly, grabbing the beer that he hands me.  

    “Ah,” the lovely pop and sizzle from the can when he opens his beer sends a yummy chill throughout my body, “So you’re dark and mysterious, but extremely loyal and inquisitive.”

    “Huh?” I look at him, dumbfounded. Even though his assessment was incredibly accurate, I have no idea how he’s managed to gather that much on me in the short time we’ve known each other.  

    Luke winks, “I’m an Aquarius, too. February sixteenth.”  

    Oh, Aquarius. Duh...

    “Seventeenth for me,” I tip my beer towards him, “Here’s to February birthdays.”

    Smiling, Luke nods and tilts his beer towards mine. The two cans clink together, filling the ambiance around us with the sound of the delicious liquid inside of them sloshing around as we move our cans towards one another.  

    I take a sip from my beer. The bitter liquid burns as it runs down my throat, but I quickly want more as my mouth begins to salivate the moment I swallow. It’s been so long since I’ve had a beer, so I savor the taste, enjoying the silence that surrounds Luke and I as we both lean back and enjoy our beverages.  

    “So,” I’m the first to break the long silence, “How did you get started in MMA?”

    Luke arches an eyebrow, “Interviewing me already? I don’t open up until I’ve had at least one beer.”  

    Pulling my pen and notebook out of my backpack, I quickly scribble something down. I try to stifle a giggle as I notice Luke trying his best to see what I’m writing.

    “I haven’t even said anything interview worthy,” Luke grimaces.  

    “Sure you did,” I smile sweetly, “You admitted that you’re an alcoholic.”

    “Ugh,” Luke rolls his eyes, “Hardly. This is the first beer
