CHAPTER 10
HUNTER
Our trip to New York was less tiring than I thought, I can even say that it was a riveting trip, Maggie sleeps cuddle up in my arms while I read ‘Archer’s Voice’ by Mia Sheridan, with the cover covered in black , of course! After all, I’m tired of my friends making fun of me because I’m a MMA fighter who likes to read novels.
We get to Park Central Hotel and Gary check us in, I’m so happy for Maggie being here with me I’m barely able to hide my happiness. Gary looks at us hugging in the elevator and throws a bucket of cold water on me by saying:
“Love is beautiful, but in a few minutes we are going to the gym to practice, okay, Sickle?”

MAGGIE I went shopping and when I got back to the hotel I was still pensive, with something bothering that something doesn’t fit, I’m almost sure Manfred is hiding something, but I’m going to find out. As soon as I get to Portland, I’m going to get to know my assets, I think that if mom wanted dad far away from my inheritance, there must be a really strong reason to make her think like that. Getting to the suite I’m in with Hunt, I find him doing push ups in the middle of the room, wearing only boxer shorts, that’s just dirty, that’s not fair, geez, I’m made of flesh and bones. And my desire for my Big Guy is so frail. The thoughts that invade my mind by looking at his muscly

HUNTER It’s seven in the morning on the side table watch, I watch Maggie sleeping, her calm face, the lips slightly open, her bangs on her face and I think that I’m a lucky guy. Life tripped me a few times, but also gifted me with amazing brothers and a fantastic woman, that surprisingly faces my imperfect trajectory, broken and she still loves me and looks me with the same magic of the first time she saw me. I get up, take a long shower and as my sleepy girl still on Morpheus arms, I decide to run in the park and get back in time to have breakfast with her. I put on my running sweat pants, a low cut green shirt, my training sneakers, my headphones with selected James Brown songs and I quickly take the elevador,

HUNTER I enter the bathroom and lock the door, now there’s only Maggie and me, she’s broken, devastated because of the fight she just had with her father. Just by thinking of the problems this man can cause me, I already feel my body trembling in anger. And if he tells Maggie about me? I’m going to lose her when she finds out I’m a monster, like that miserable man said: ‘a freak’, a squeeze her tighter in my arms, the fear of losing her makes me even more possessive. With eyes still full of tears, she avoids looking at me. I hold her by her ass, keeping her tight on my lap, I go to a metal bench and sit to take a cold shower. Maggie motions to get out of my lap and I stop her. “No,

MAGGIE I called Manfred wanting to know about the financial transactions, a detailed report on my properties and the documentation from the land I inherited from my mother. After almost a week waiting for him to gather everything, finally he faxed me the paper work I asked for. I made two sandwiches with some rare steak I had in the fridge and calmly sat in the kitchen to enjoy my afternoon snack, when I hear the sound of the living room door opening and Hunter enters taking off his beaten boots. He throws me a kiss and takes the beaten boots straight to the laundry room. Since last week, when he asked me to marry him, our relationship has gone back to it’s natural form. Nothing was planned by both of us, I gave him a copy of my keys a day after he proposed t

MAGGIE In the last couple of weeks I can in a word say what’s my physical state: deplorable. I have been feeling indisposed, I sleep a lot, I eat like an untamed animal and I have acquired compulsive gastronomical tastes. Yesterday, as an exemple, I put on my head I had to have Sandler’s fried chicken. I spend the afternoon in the clinic picturing those crispy drums sticks in my mouth, then, I got out of the clinic it was evening already and drove to the city entrance just to buy two buckets of crisps chicken thighs with hot sauce. When I got home, Hunter was worried waiting for me in the living room, stuck to the telephone.&

HUNTER I don’t know if I’m more sensible for having find out I’ll be a dad or if it’s just that I miss the boys mess, but today I decided to get out of the bar and go to the ranch to be with my brothers. The door opens and Samantha greets me on the porch with a wide smile. She’s wearing a short jumper and her hair tied in two lose braids, my sister-in-law couldn’t be more beautiful and feminine. I lean over to kiss her cheeks and caress her large belly, she gets on the tip of her toes and hugs me in a nice way, putting her arm on my waist and yelling to the guys. “Look who’s here?” Adam is flipping some hamburgers on the grill and throws a

Five months laterHUNTER “I’ve said no, Calvin, if it’s not to fight in a town near by, don’t even call me, fuck!”, I yell trying to make the mule that is Calvin to understand. Calvin replies trying to convince me at alls cost that the days I would be in New Jersey, Rico Lopez, one of the owners of the gym where I train, can support Maggie if she feels something because of the pregnancy. He can only have lost his mind, this guy is crazy? He wants me to get to the fucking road and leave my seven month pregnant wife with my babies under Lopez’ care? Calvin can only be joking with me by suggesting something absurd like this. I became completely rude and end up making Calvin see how much his suggestio

HUNTER Maggie is fallen on the road and I approach her smell of agony and pain. I scrap the nose in her belly and something is wrong, my babies suffer, I can feel them. I howl bagging uncle Quinn to help me, he crouched even with his wounded leg and raises her in his arms, taking her to the truck. Uncle Quinn lays Maggie on the back seat and I sit by her side, in guard, trying to protect her form the pain, from the fear. As soon as Adam jumped on the back of the truck, uncle Quinn started, stepping down on the truck. I close my eyes trying to get back to my skin, but I feel my body electrifying, pulsing by the heat of combat, the tense muscles, taken by the beast, lost between the fury of the animal and the reason of man. I breathe slowly, immerse in darkness and s
