"Seriously man you've never ..." Adam made a crude gesture and laughed shoving his hands into his pockets, he caught the tail end of Matt's glare and he cleared his throat going bright red.

" just ..." he thought for a moment, watching Jay box with Antonio with a soft look in his eyes. " treat him like he's glass, show him that you love him more than anything in this world." Adam only went redder and he rubbed his face with his hands, embarrassment swallowing him whole again.

" but you already knew that man! - so why are you asking me." Adam snorted and glanced over at Matt who merely shuffled his feet and rubbed the back of his neck.

" just double checking I guess — and hey it gave me a reason to get out and see jay in action. I'm still shocked he's kicking Antonio's ass. No one kicks Antonio's ass."

Adam grinned a little and elbowed Matt, "Alright Fangirl." He teased lightly and looked back to the ring when he heard Antonio protest, Jay had won— again, it wasn't uncommon.

Jay ducked out of the ring and took off his boxing gloves, sneaking up behind Adam and sliding strong arms around his waist.

" hey there handsome, I'm gonna go change then we can head out" Adam shivered as Jay purred into his ear lowly, chin resting on his shoulder that smug half smile on his beautiful face.

" sure thing sweetheart, I'll be waiting out here for you like always"
he grinned and turned in his arms. Pushing Jay against the closest wall, Adam pressed a tender kiss to Jays tender lips, chuckling quietly. Jay in return, snaked his arms around his neck and tilted his head pushing himself into the kiss, nipping at Adams lip teasingly.

" your playing a dangerous game beautiful."

"Danger is my middle name you know" jay whispered lowly grinning as he said it. What Adam would do to have everyone else see him like this, so carefree and relaxed.

" I thought it was babydoll"

Jay laughed, eyes crinkling and cheeks rosy.
" that's right. Jay babydoll Halstead. Though, Danger does sound cooler, more gangster. Scarface is more fitting though for someone as awesome as me."

Adam rolled his eyes and snorted pecking Jay on the lips before pushing him away lightly.
" alright Al Capone, go get cleaned up." He pinched his ass and winked.

Jay raised an eyebrow and smirked " don't start something you can't finish Ruzek" he hummed and followed Antonio into the changing room, Adam watching his every step until he couldn't.

Matt stifled his laughter and patted Adam on the arm.
" whipped."

Adam flushed scarlet and punched the firefighters shoulder.
" says the married man!"

" exactly! I'm married it's expected of me to be whipped" Matt cackled and picked up his jacket ready to leave.
" also, babydoll? That was so cheese. Kelly could do better than that and he's the king of cheese trust me."

Adam glared without any real heat and threw a boxing glove at him, " just go asshole"

The rest of it happened quickly after that. Adam was the first to react to the sound of gunshots coming from the back of the gym. Without hesitation he grabbed his gun and ran into the locker room, only caring that his omega was in there unarmed.

Though Adam didn't doubt Jays abilities, after-all the guy had fought in a damn war, he was still unarmed against an armed assailant and he was still his omega, his love, his mate... his partner. He would die to protect him.

Even so, Adam wished he had stayed outside that damned changing room.

The first thing his eyes went to was Jay's lifeless body, lying between the lockers. Then to the dead attacker a few feet away, neck snapped. Jays doing no doubt,
Clever boy.
But not clever enough apparently. Jay was still shot, he was still badly hurt. Antonio wasn't anywhere in sight probably have gone after a second attacker.
