Taming The Lion's Heart

Chapter 9: Working out with friends

A/N:I hope y'all love it honestly took a while and got distracted with other ideas and work. I have something brewing in my head hopefully, I get to share it with u guys at some point.

Chris p.o.v:

When I saw Racheal come down the stairs, let's just say I was so glad I wore jeans instead of sweats. I would have had to explain to two very angry McFarland men under the worst circumstances the effect she had on me. I can't help it. She looks so gorgeous and sexy. Everything she does is so cute and hot at the same time. Even so, it would've been extremely embarrassing and awkward if anyone had noticed. I do hope to confess my true feelings to her, just when the time is right, and not in front of her family either. That'll have to come afterward, assuming things work out.

It didn't help that I gave her my jacket either after she refused to go get one. She looks sexy wearing my jacket, which makes me wish she wore more of my clothes. When Julie saw her, she glanced at me with a knowing smile. I just smiled back and shook my head.

We all started going to the garage after everyone had gotten ready to go. Carl kissed Julie on the lips, then Racheal on her cheek before giving me and his son a hug. He even loved the dogs before he got on his bike and left. After he left, we all got in the truck. Ben and Julie were up front as Racheal and I got in the back. Honestly, I am so glad we are going in the truck because it would hurt riding a motorcycle with a hard-on. I made sure to put the bag I brought with me on my lap when I got in, making sure that my bulge wasn't noticed by anyone.

"Chris?" I heard Julie say.

I look over at her and see her smile.

"Yes, Julie?" I asked with a smile.

"Mind telling me your hotel address so I can put it in?" She asked with her phone in hand, waiting.

"Oh, sorry," I apologized before I told her the hotel name and which street it was on.

She giggled before she typed it into her phone and put it on the phone holder. Then, we were off. During that whole exchange, I heard Racheal giggle as well.

"What's so funny, Miss I-Don't-Want-to-put-on-a-jacket?" I asked, looking over at her with a coy smile.

"Okay, I didn't want to; I didn't see the point. It isn't that cold," she stated while giggling. "Besides, I got this one."

She looks down at the jacket.

"It is comfortable, warm, and smells nice."

She buries her head into my jacket, smelling it. I just laughed at her silliness.

'She is adorable,' I thought as I watched her.

I then noticed her looking over at me, and I saw from her cheeks to her ears becoming dusted with a dark pinkish hue; which I think is adorable. Especially since I am the cause of said blush. I giggled at her adorableness.

She giggles as well. Man, I love hearing her laughs and giggles. It's like a perfect song; a song I could listen to all day and every day on repeat, and I could never get tired of hearing the beautiful sound.

I was about to say something to her, but I heard my phone ding, letting me know I received a text message. I reached into my jeans pocket, which I struggled to get. I then hear that oh-so-musically laugh of Racheal's, my little fierce Lioness.

I just shook my head as I finally got it out to see that Sammy had messaged me.

"That was so amusing for you, wasn't it?" I asked with a chuckle.

"Sorry, I just find it funny," she apologizes, laughing a little.

"Uh-huh," I half-grinned before looking at Sammy's message to me.
