  Chapter 1

  Joseph

  The first time I saw her she took my breath away, I’d never had that feeling before. I’d convinced myself that when I saw her sitting on the coffee table talking to Jacob over a month ago that it was just because I wanted to have my wicked way with her. All I needed to do was get her out of my system. I didn’t think that was possible as I thought her and Matt were a couple, because he was overly protective of her. When I told her that I wanted to get down and dirty with her she sat up and took notice, she seemed to be as interested in me as I was in her.

  She took comfort when I offered it while Rose was in the hospital; Matt was always pulling her away from me. When she agreed to go out for a drink with me I was surprised, she said that they weren’t a couple and that wasn’t something she was interested in. She sounded like the perfect girl for me. I had never been interested in going back to the same girl twice, no commitment, have my fun and move on. They all knew the rules from the start but there was always one that thought she would be able to change my mind. I always laughed at how they thought that and here I was now, lusting after a gorgeous girl who didn’t do commitment and I wanted it. What was wrong with me? What was it about her that I wanted so much? Why her?

  “Yo, J and J, we gotta go.” Matt shouted as he came in through the front door, snapping me out of my thoughts.

  “No, not again.” Rose complained to Jacob. The three of us were sitting in the living room watching a movie. He ran his hands through his hair and looked at her, as if pleading her with his eyes for her to understand. I understood that she was worried about him fighting, she had poured her heart out to me one evening while we were alone. I hated to see her upset, I had a plan up my sleeve, I just needed to pull it off and hoped like hell that Ethan would understand.

  “I’m ready.” I told Matt standing up and stretching.

  “Babe, I gotta go… I will call you as soon as it’s over, I promise.” Jacob told her, placing his hands on her face and giving her a kiss. When he pulled away she pouted and crossed her arms over her chest. She refused to look at him. “I love you, I’ll be back real soon.” She didn’t answer him.

  “Come on bro, the sooner we go the sooner we will be back.” I told him, he looked at me and nodded. He looked at Rose again, she was still pouting and refused to look at him, then we walked out the door. Just before it closed we heard;

  “Jacob.” Rose called out. He stopped and turned around, she threw herself into his arms and kissed him. “I love you.” She mumbled as their kisses eased.

  “I love you too, see you soon.”

  “Hey, you…” Rose said looking at me. “Be careful.”

  “Don’t worry sis, we’ll see you soon.” I winked at her and she smiled. I loved Rose like a sister, she was good for my brother and we would be a little lost without her.

  ***

  We had been waiting around for an hour; Ethan had told Jacob that he wouldn’t be fighting. We were waiting for me to fight, I was warming up.

  “Yo, Jo.” Ethan called out. I looked around at him. I was in my red boxing shorts and a zip up hoodie. “This is Trixie…” I nodded my head at her and she smiled at me and unzipped her hoodie slightly showing me that she had nothing on under it. “You’re too worked up… Get it out of your system.” He pushed her towards me and I had to grab a hold of her to stop her from falling. She immediately began kissing my neck, I had previously fucked a few of these girls but I wasn’t feeling it today. I pushed her away and she pouted at me, I hated the desperation that radiated off of this girl. She must have been new as I hadn’t seen her before.

  “You ok, man?” Matt asked as he slapped me on the back.

  “Yeah… When am I up?” I asked turning my back to Trixie, in hopes that she got the message and wandered away.

  “You’re next… You not going there?” Matt asked, nodding his head towards the bunnies.

  “No, not feeling it today.” I shrugged as I slipped out of my hoodie so I was bare chested and began working on the speed ball to warm my body up. Making sure I kept my feet light and fast.

  “KNOCKOUT!” I heard the referee call out. I stopped hitting the ball and stepped back, I would be up soon.

  “You ready?” Jacob asked me. I nodded as I loosened my shoulders and neck by rolling them around. “You ok? You seem distracted?”

  “I’m fine, let’s just get this over with.” I walked towards the ring and waited while they pulled the large guy out that had been knocked out.

  “Make me some money… The longer you stay on your feet the more money we get… I got a lot riding on this, don’t disappoint me.” Ethan said seriously. I nodded, I knew better than to get on the wrong side of him. He saved us, we owed him a lot. If he hadn’t found us and lied to the police about him being our uncle we could have ended up in a foster home and possibly separated.

  I climbed into the ring, put my mouth guard in and stayed on the balls of my feet, I didn’t want to get cold, I needed to stay warm. My opponent climbed into the ring, I recognised the guy, he was called Callum and he was taller than me but about the same build. I had watched him fight before; I couldn’t remember him ever losing a fight, not until now. I would wipe the floor with this guy. I hoped that me turning down Trixie wouldn’t affect my performance, I saw Callum going at it earlier with Candy, one of the bunnies that had been here the longest. She liked it hard and rough and that’s why she had been kept around for so long, the guys loved her.

  The referee climbed into the ring and made us bump hands before we started. There were no rules; the first one to be knocked out or tap out would lose. I had never tapped out and had never planned on doing it. Callum took the first swing and I dodged it, causing him to fall slightly forward which I then landed my elbow into his jaw. He stumbled again and I wasted no time in jabbing several hits into his side and back. Callum wheezed; I had to let him get his breath back, if I ended this too soon Ethan would be pissed and Callum hadn’t got a hit on me yet. People paid to see a fight not one guy get battered while the other came away hardly sweating. I stepped back and Callum swept his leg out and took out my legs, causing me to fall on my back, my heart beat faster in my chest and I was
dazed. He was on top of me in a flash and was pounding into my sides; his fists made my blood boil and with every hit my stomach tightened in anticipation. I couldn’t fight him off as I kept my guard up protecting my face. I tried bucking him off of me with my hips but he wasn’t moving, so I lowered my guard and landed a punch into his face, my muscles tensed and the burning from over using them was causing me discomfort, as he swayed I rolled my hips and threw him off me. I got to my feet the same time as he did, neither one of us hesitated as we both lunged at each other throwing punches and kicks. I went to kick him in his stomach; my goal was to land him on his ass so I could knock him out. I wasn’t prepared for him grabbing hold of my leg and twisting it so I was flying through the air, I bounced off the side of the ring and then he brought his knee up to my face and I felt my eyes roll and all I could hear was a loud thumping in my ear, then there was darkness.

  Chapter 2

  Bonnie

  “Hello?” I called out as I walked through the door of the flat where Rose now lived.

  “Hey, what you doing here?” Rose asked as she flipped through the TV channels.

  “Thought I would see what you’re up to.” I looked around and didn’t see anyone else and it was eerily quiet too. “Where are the guys?”

  “Fight.” She answered and I looked at her, she looked calm, she was never calm when Jacob was fighting.

  “You ok? You’re very calm?”

  “Oh, yeah, Jacob text, he didn’t have to fight today. They should be home soon.”

  “Did Joseph fight?” I worried about him too; I didn’t want either of them to get hurt.

  “Yeah… He… Um, he got knocked out.”

  “WHAT!” I screamed standing up quickly. “Is he ok?”

  “Yeah, Jacob said that he was knocked out but came around quickly.” I was stood in the middle of the living room; he was knocked out, as soon as she said that my heart jumped. I was scared that I was going to lose him, not that I really had him. That thought alone scared me.

  “Bonnie…” Rose said loudly, causing me to snap out of my worry. I looked at her and she was about to speak when the front door opened and in walked the three guys.

  “Oh my God, are you ok?” Rose asked and she hugged Joseph. I hadn’t taken me eyes off of him yet, I was looking at him to make sure he was, in fact, ok. He looked ok, but he could be bruised and in pain. I didn’t notice Matt walk over to me until he obscured my view of Joseph as he leant towards me and kissed me. I pulled away and walked around him.

  “Are you ok? Do you need anything?” I asked Joseph stopping in front of him. He smiled at me and when I felt a pair of hands on my hips I saw Joseph’s smile fall.

  “I’m fine, nothing that a night out won’t fix… We all up for it? I got somewhere special to take us.” Joseph said. I was intrigued to where he wanted to go.

  “Babe? Did you wanna go?” I heard Jacob ask Rose.

  “Yeah, sounds good. Bon, did you wanna borrow one of my dresses?”

  “Yeah, sounds good… Let’s go and see what you got.” I stepped away from Matt again, he seemed to be hovering around me today and I was feeling suffocated.

  I followed Rose into her room and she shut the door.

  “Right, what’s going on?” I sat on her bed and shrugged my shoulders.

  “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

  “Are you and Matt a couple?”

  “No.” I was surprised that she had asked that, I had told her before that I wasn’t dating him.

  “Are you and Joseph a couple?”

  “No.”

  “Then what is going on?” She opened her wardrobe and began pulling dresses out, throwing them onto the bed.

  “Nothing…” She gave me a look; I had seen that look before. It meant ‘don’t lie to me’. “I don’t want a boyfriend.”

  “Come on Bon, I see how you look at those guys out there…”

  “Stop it. We are not having this conversation…”

  “We are, you can’t let what happened with Damien effect your future… I want you to be happy.”

  “I am happy.” I was happy, wasn’t I?

  “So you want both of them? How are you gonna feel when one of them pulls tonight?”

  “I will be fine, I’m going in search of fun too, Let me wear your short silver dress.”

  “That dress is really short on me and you are taller than me, it won’t cover a lot.”

  “Exactly.” I winked at her, grabbed the dress and walked into the bathroom that Matt and Joseph shared. Jacob’s room was the only one with an en-suite.

  Chapter 3

  Joseph

  I had decided to take the guys to ‘Redz,’ it was a new club on the outside of town that hadn’t been open long. I had heard that it was the place to be, but it was a slightly different sort of club. I hadn’t told the rest of the guys that.

  “Have you been here before?” Bonnie asked me as she got out of the car, I caught a quick glimpse of her panties as her dress was very short. She had me licking my lips as I knew exactly how sweet she tasted down there. I needed to stop thinking about that before I got a noticeable hard on.

  “No, I haven’t, sweetness.” I pulled her towards me and landed a kiss on her lips. I wanted a taste and what I wanted, I got. I hated the fact that she had slept with me and Matt, I wanted her to myself. That thought alone scared me as I had never wanted to only be with one woman before. She made me feel things I hadn’t before, she lit my body on fire and all I saw when I was in a room, was her. I went to pull away until she snaked her arms around my neck and deepened the kiss.

  “Are we going in or what?” Matt snapped. Bonnie pulled back, she looked at me and smiled. She unwound her arms from around my neck and her and Rose linked arms and began walking towards the club. As they approached the line to get in, the bouncers called out to them, this happened to them quite often.

  “You two, can go on in…” One of the bouncers said.

  “Rose.” Jacob called out.

  “Who’s that?” The bouncer asked, as we approached the girls.

  “That’s my fiancé.” Rose told him.

  “Well, now that’s a shame… Which one is your fiancé?” He asked Bonnie.

  “No-one, free and single I am.” She fluttered her eyelashes at him and all I wanted to do was throw her over my shoulder and go home.

  “That’s good to know, save me a dance later?” He asked. She nodded and I felt like I wanted to punch the guy. I didn’t know how to make her mine and I also wanted to want other women and not just her. The bouncer let all five of us in ahead of the queue, we walked up to the bar and I ordered shots for us all except for Matt, who was driving tonight.

  “Oh my God.” I heard Rose say.

  “What’s up, sweetheart?” I asked passing her a shot.

  “Is this a… A… A sex club?” She whispered the last part like it was a secret. I laughed, throwing my head back.

  “Yes, sweetheart, it is… Don’t worry you got your guy to protect you.” She stepped back so she was fully pressed up against Jacob and he snaked his arm around her waist, he then whispered in her ear and it looked like she gasped. I knew what I would be saying to her if she was mine.

  Bonnie

  I couldn’t believe that Joseph had bought us to a sex club; Rose was nervous at first but once we got a few drinks into her she was loving it. She and Jacob had disappeared to explore about twenty minutes ago and they hadn’t come back yet. Matt was staying close to me; I think he was trying to make sure all the other guys stayed away from me, which annoyed me as I was out to have fun tonight.

  “Come and dance with me, sweetness.” Joseph insisted, grabbing hold of my hand. I stepped towards him and I felt Matt grab my hips. I looked back at him and he looked worried.

  “What?” I asked him.

  “I thought you were here with me?”

  “I’m not here with anyone; I’m here to have fun.” I pushed his hands off me and followed Joseph onto th
e dance floor. He pulled me close and my body trembled, I swear my panties were soaked already from just being in his arms.

  “You are so hot, but I kind of wanna punch every guy that is staring at you right now.” He whispered in my ear, which caused shivers to vibrate down my spine. I moved in even closer to him and swayed my hips against his. As the music changed to a slower song with a sensual beat, Joseph spun me around and I rubbed my bum all over his hard cock, as his hands trailed from my waist to my thighs and back to my hips. I hooked one of my arms around his neck and the other was on his bum keeping him close to me, not that I thought he would be going anywhere. I was lost in the moment when I felt a shadow fall over me. I opened my eyes to see Matt standing in front of me and he wasn’t looking happy.

  “What the hell do you think you are doing?” He barked. I stood up straight and Joseph placed his hand on my stomach to keep me close to him.

  “What?” I had no idea why he was so mad at me.

  “You dancing like that… With that dress on, you are showing everyone what’s mine.”

  “Whoa, hold on man, she isn’t yours.” Joseph squared up to Matt from behind me.

  “Oh, and I suppose she’s yours?”

  “Hey!” I shouted to get their attention onto me and off each other. “I’m no-ones! Neither one of you have a claim on me.” I pushed past them and stormed towards the toilets. As I was barging through the toilet door I bumped into someone, I looked up to apologise and saw it was Rose.

  “Hey, where’s the fire?” Rose laughed.

  “AAAAHHH… I can’t believe them.” I fumed as I stood at the sink trying to calm down.

  “What? What’s happened?”

  “They are both trying to claim me…” Rose cut me off.

  “I’m sorry, but can you blame them? You have been sleeping with both of them.”

  “You think I’m leading them on?”

  “No, that’s not what I said… I…”
