Ever since that night at the ring, Mackenzie had been thinking more and more about how much she missed Luke, just being around him. She had made the decision to start spending more time with Luke, but he made the decision to spend more time at the ring instead of at the house which made it harder for her since she was involved once again in her studies and her job. He decided he wanted to do more fights himself, instead of just showing up to pay the winner and collect his own profit. Fighting meant he got to keep everything and it was something he missed doing. He only began fighting after they broke up, but when she was grabbed a month ago, he had stopped for her sake. "What time do you think he's going to come home tonight?" Mackenzie asked Michael as they watched a movie in the living room.

"I dunno, probably after 2am." He shrugged and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close. She snuggled up to him and sipped her beer.

"Why does he think this is a good idea? You're already making a shit ton of money by running the place, why does he need to fight too?" She sighed, resting her head on Michael's shoulder.

"His masculinity is more important to him than his safety." Michael laughed and sipped his beer. "He thinks he's more of a man when he fights, or fucks you." He chuckled, looking at Mackenzie's shocked expressions. "He talks about your sex life all the time."

"What?" She gasped. "What does he say?"

"He told us about your night at the ring. He's so proud that he's the first one to fuck a girl on the ring." Michael laughed.

"Did he tell you about the burns on my knees?" Mackenzie asked, looking up at him.

"No, what burns? Show me." Michael demanded, turning to look at her. She paused for a second. "I do have spandex on," she said before pushing her sweatpants down and showed Michael her knees.

"Those mats are not good for riding dick." Mackenzie giggled.

"Has Luke seen these?" Michael asked, rubbing his fingers over the burns. Mackenzie winced and pulled her legs away.

"No, he hasn't seen them. And, they still hurt, so be gentle. It's only been a week." She pulled her sweatpants back up.

"You have to show those off." Michael grinned. "Hey, Calum! Ashton, get your asses down here!" Michael yelled. "Matt, John, you guys too! You gotta see this!" The gang came into the living room.

"What's going on?" Matt asked, rubbing his eyes, clearly having just woken up.

"Show 'em, Kenz." Michael laughed, patting her shoulder. She rolled her eyes playfully and stood up, pushing her sweatpants down. "She rode Luke so hard she's got burns on her knees. The first girl to get fucked on the ring and she's got marks to show for it."

"You got rug burn from the mats?" Calum laughed, walking over to her.

"Once Luke sees these, he won't ever shut up about it." Feldy groaned, chuckling.

"How's he gonna feel about all of us seeing Mackenzie with her pants down?" Ashton asked, looking at her knees.

"At least I'm wearing spandex." Mackenzie giggled.

"Yeah, which is practically nothing. You ass is practically hanging out." Michael smirked, letting his palm connect with her ass.

"Mate, you better keep your hands off of her. If Luke finds out you touched her, he'd hang you from the chandelier." Calum laughed, smacking Michael upside the head.

"Who's touching my girl?" Luke asked as he walked through the front door. Luke had blood dripping from his nose and the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, my God, Luke." Mackenzie kicked her sweatpants away, leaving only her spandex on and ran over to Luke. "Baby, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." He brushed her off. "Who touched my girl?" He glared at the boys.

"Michael smacked her ass." Calum smirked at Michael and he glared at Calum.

"Asshole." Michael huffed, kicking Calum in the groin. He groaned and toppled over, holding his front.

"You dick." Calum curled up on the floor.

"Why did you touch my girl?" Luke asked, walking over to Michael.

"She's got those sexy spandex on, I couldn't resist." Michael shrugged. "But, look at her knees, mate."

"Mackenzie, what's he talking about?" Luke turned to look at her. He looked down at her knees, a smirk tugging at his lips. "What happened to your knees, baby girl?"

"I got rug burn from the mats when I was riding you." She bit her lip to contain her smile. She walked over to Luke again. "Now, will you let me get you cleaned up?"

"Yeah, baby, let's go." He smiled softly and followed her up to the bathroom. Luke put the lid of the toilet down and sat on it, so she could reach him easily.

"Did this happen in the fight tonight?" She asked as she got a cloth wet in the sink.

"Yeah, that asshole was only aiming for my face." Luke huffed, watching her.

"I don't like it when you fight, Lu." Mackenzie sighed and wiped at the blood under his nose. "I hate seeing you hurt." She wiped the blood away and cleaned her cloth.

"Baby, I'm okay. It's just a little blood." Luke looked up at her as she wiped the blood from his chin.

"That's not the point, Luke. You're getting beat up, and for what reason?" She sighed, looking down at him.

"Look, I'm fine, Mac. I'm not hurt." He rubbed her hips, pulling her down so she was straddling him. "I'm okay, baby. I promise." He wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her close. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I worry about you, Luke." Mackenzie sighed, nuzzling her face into his neck. "It hurts me to see you like this. It reminds me too much of before." The last time she had cleaned his cuts was the night before he had broken up with her.

"I'm doing this for us, baby. I have to get stronger so I can keep you safe." Luke sighed, rubbing her back. "Everything I do, I do for you."

"I appreciate your willingness to help me, but when you do shit like this, it scares me." Mackenzie sighed and cupped Luke's cheek. "I worry about your safety when you do this. I don't like seeing you come home covered in blood."

"I'm fine, baby girl." Luke reassured her, rubbing her back. "If it really worries you that much, I'll start fighting less."

"Thank you, Luke. That's all I wanted." Mackenzie smiled softly and kissed Luke's cheek. He chuckled softly and cupped her cheeks before pressing his forehead against hers and embracing her in a tight hug.
