her progress and make sure she wasn’t flirting with any of the meatheads that seemed to frequent gyms.
    Despite her fat ass and thighs Maggie was definitely a beautiful woman. She had the most gorgeous hair. Plus her eyes could really take you to another place. And when she laughed? Ugh. It was enough to drive a man wild. She’d become a bit of a sour puss since the wedding though.
    Reef tried desperately to keep her happy. He’d refrained from striking her for a long time, hoping his dad had been wrong about the need to punish a woman to keep her in line. Reef thought he’d simply find a woman that was willing to take care of his home and children and stay in line and all would be well. But as time passed Reef realized more and more how right his father was. Maggie did need a firm hand to guide her. He didn’t punish her nearly as much as his father had punished his mother. Really Reef had been an exemplary husband. He couldn’t help Maggie’s thick skull when it came to learning the rules of matrimony.
    Reef smiled across the room at the smoothie girl as he stepped from the locker room. He wore his bicycle shorts and sneakers but no shirt. He stepped up to the free weights and watched the girl watching him in the mirror. She was practically drooling as he worked his arms. Every rep he would angle his body to show it off for her. Oh yeah. He would be taking that piece home tonight for sure.
     
     
     
     

Chapter 6
    MAGGIE
     
     
    Maggie was nervous heading to the self-defense class. She really didn’t know what to expect from the whole experience, but in the long run she knew this was the right thing to do. So far she hadn’t seen Reef or his car anywhere and the phone calls seemed to be dwindling as well. In fact now that she thought back it had been more than a week since she’d received a call from him. Which honestly made her slightly more nervous than when he was calling on a regular basis. It wasn’t like Reef to give up. Ever. So what had changed?
    She tried not to think about it. There was nothing she could do at the moment so she chose to focus on taking care of herself and paying attention in class. Maggie pulled into the parking lot behind the martial arts building that Jessi had given her directions to and cut the engine. She took a quick look around, made sure to check all her mirrors, and gripped her keys between her fingers before stepping out of the car. This hyper vigilance had become second nature. It only ramped up since Reef’s calls had dwindled, and she’d spotted the biker outside her home. Lately she just couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being watched.
    Maggie walked through the back entrance of the dojo and breathed a sigh of relief. It was always easier to be inside a building with other people. She felt like it was the only time she could truly let herself relax and let her guard down. Anytime she was outside regardless if there were others around she felt on high alert. Walking along the sidewalk downtown was the worst for her. On the sidewalk her shoulders were tense and her heart raced, but when she walked into a store her whole body would relax. She felt like she was on a roller coaster so she tended to stay home as much as possible.
    As she moved toward the check-in desk at the back of the room she took note of three other women that had already arrived. Maggie signed in and paid the fee. She put her purse in one of the cubbyholes on the wall to the right, and took a seat on the mat. Jessi sat against the wall at the front of the class stretching. She looked up and smiled as Maggie sat down.
    Maggie smiled back and waived then took her time looking around the room and noting the posters and photos of the different classes hanging all over. It felt so right being here. Every step in her life that she’d made since leaving Reef had felt right. Staying in her father’s home. Starting her new job at the library. Now taking this class was yet another piece of the puzzle
