Ruined: Loving An Alpha Male(74)

I had no problems swimming with the fish. I’ve done it multiple times in the Navy, and I knew how to handle the swells and underwater currents that could become a problem for anyone else. The incident that made me realize I was up the fucking creek was when I emerged from the water and headed to my towel and bag. The beach was packed with a bunch of beautiful bodies getting sun or throwing a Frisbee or football. I even saw a group playing volleyball too. I happened to look over toward the hotel wondering what was taking Max so long when I saw her coming toward me. She was in a white two piece bathing suit that had my mouth watering. The top barely covered her breasts in my opinion, and the bottoms were so low on her hip you could see her entire shapely and flat stomach. Her body was amazing, and now everyone on this beach was privy to what I long to wake up to every morning.

She looked around until her eyes fell on mine and smiled. She threw her sunglasses on her eyes and walked purposefully towards me swaying her hips and pulling every pair of eyes directly to her. Of course, I started to feel possessive and angry as I watched a few guys yell shit to her I didn’t hear, but by the way she smiled I knew it would be something I didn’t like.

Fuck! I walked toward her and as I got close I also saw some schmuck make his move.

“Hey, baby, where your fine sexy ass going?”

I looked over and found this tall, fat fuck with a toothy smile and beady eyes. I was about to lose my fucking mind when I saw him reach his meaty hands to her waist.

“Touch her and guaranteed you’ll lose that meaty hand.”

His head swiveled in my direction and as I got closer. I noticed he had two of his buddies also sporting huge bellies, shorts, with no shirt.

“I don’t see a ring on her finger.”

The ass had the nerve to start walking toward me. I knew Lou would be pissed at me because I was about to be thrown out of the tournament, but I didn’t give a fuck.

“Hey baby.”

Maxine walked up close to me and kissed me on my neck. She entangled her fingers through mine. I was trying to concentrate on my anger, but her breasts kept rubbing up against my bare chest, which was turning me on.

She then put our hands on the swell of her ass and left my hand there while she wrapped her arms around my neck. ‘Well hell,’ I finally moved my eyes off the three fat pigs onto the sexy ass woman in front of me.

“You know you can’t risk getting kicked out of the tournaments this weekend.”

She smiled at me and began rubbing my face. I mumbled an okay, but I saw a movement coming from my left, and I instantly became alert.

“That’s him! I told you it was.”

This tall, lanky guy came up to me with a t-shirt that had the MMA Eastern Conference logo on it. Two other guys came up next to him, all with wide eyes. I relaxed slightly but still kept my quarries in sight.

Well, hell, it’s not like I could miss them anyway.

“Mr. Reaper, my buddies and I were wondering if we could get a picture with you.”

I looked over at Max. I wasn’t sure if it was against any regulations or something, but when she nodded and stepped back, I looked sternly at the trio.

“What’s your name?” I asked.

“My-my-my name is Tim, and this is Jared and Lock. Man, we are huge fans of yours. We’ve been following your fights online and saw how you took down everyone, especially Trip. He is such an asshole.”

The three frowned. I smiled for the first time that day.

“Well, it’s always nice to meet fans.” I shook hands with all three and posed for pictures with each of them. “You guys heading to the fight?”

“Naw, we couldn’t get tickets. But Lock has a huge TV in his basement, so we’re going to watch from there,” Tim told me pointing to Lock.

I could see the disappointment in their eyes. MMA seemed to be their lives, and I wished I could get them tickets. Max, reading my mind, stepped up and took out her phone.

“Hi, Tim, why don’t you give me your number, and I’ll get you some seats for the fights all three nights.”

“Are you fucking serious?” Tim said incredulously.

“Hey,” I scolded, and they instantly stepped back.

“Sorry, Reap,” they said in unison.

I looked over at Max, and she was smiling. Tim gave her his number, and she promised to call him in a few days to get their info so will-call could hold their seats.

“Man, good luck, Reap. We know you’re going to kick some ass this weekend,” Tim replied excitedly.

“Yeah, you don’t have anyone to worry about. Well, except for like three. But other than that…” Lock added.

I raised my eyebrows in piqued interest. I researched and watched the tape on all the fighters I would face, and I had identified at least five that would give me problems. It was interesting to see which they thought would be my nemesis.
