The Secret Behind His Fists

Chapter 2- A Chance Meeting

Seline's POV-

It had been three weeks since we went to the club and that man has been on my mind ever since. UGH I didn't even speak to him, why can't I stop thinking about him. His tight jeans, his muscles that were practically begging to be ripped out of that tank, and those piercing ocean blue eyes. I shake my head out of my thoughts and turn back to my patients, I only have two hours till my shift is done and then only another hour to get ready. Hannah told me that she got tickets to tonight's MMA fight at the gym which oddly enough is also named The Rising Son. Makes you think this same guy owns it.

Finally my shift is over and I am racing myself home to get ready. Rushing through my door I just toss my stuff down on the sofa and make a beeline to the bathroom and jump into the shower. Ten minutes later I am out and sitting at my vanity putting on make up of just a light blush a little mascara and some red lipstick. Going to my closet I grab out a pair of black skinny jeans and a black off the shoulder top, well it only goes off one shoulder. I debated putting on some heels but then remembered I am going to be standing to watch the fight so I toss on my black converse. I do a quick once over in the mirror and try and tuck a stray curl into place. Oh forget it I'm gonna be late.

After about 20 minutes in traffic I finally make it to the Gym where the fight is going to take place. Seeing Hanna and Celeste outside waiting for me I rush over to them and hug them both as we get into line to head inside the gym. Walking into the gym I notice that it is just your typical gym with all the normal exercise equipment. Off to one side are some private rooms where I am guessing they do PT time or what not. Hannah waves her hand in from of my face to get my attention. "We need to go this way through those double doors" she says.

As soon as we make our way through the double doors my mouth literally hangs open. We are in this huge arena that you would never have known is there looking at the front of the building. Looking around at the octagon in the middle of the arena I lean in to Hanna and ask her a question that's been on my mind since entering this building. "Hanna is this a normal MMA fight or an underground not so legal one?" I give her a look. She looks at me with pleading eyes and I know right then and there its an illegal fight that I am about to sit here and watch. I debate leaving when the announcer steps into the ring and announces the fighters.

OMG, is all I can think when they announce the fighters, the one guy is on the fairly small side with a few tats here and there and a faded hair cut and some very nice green eyes. The other guy however is the one I cannot stop staring at, it's the guy from the club. Holy s**t he much be at least 6 foot tall, and mmmm those muscles without that shirt on. Damn it Seline get a grip here. I scan over his toned body, his tight 6 pack, his black hair tied up in a bun, his black shorts hanging low on his hips showing off that perfect V that leads.. Seriously Seline stop it. I am pulled out of my thoughts as the bell rings and the fight begins, and all I can do is watch this gorgeous enigma whose name i have now learned is Paxton. The way he moves, the way he hits its like watching it all in slow motion. He lands a hard blow to the others guys face and the crowd goes wild and the next thing I know Hanna is screaming and the gorgeous enigma is turning around staring at me in shock and everything just goes black.

Paxton's POV-

I knew she was there because Derrick came bursting through the door of the locker room. "She here man," he said, "What do you mean, who is here?" I ask. "That girl from the club three weeks back, you know the one that was with Hanna and Celeste?" I suck in a breath as I realize who he means, the girl who has been in my every waking thought since the moment I saw her in my club. I need to find out her name, I need to know what to call the woman who has captured my heart without even knowing she has.

I steel myself at the entrance way waiting for the announcer to call my name, I knew in this moment the girl whos eyes locked on mine that night was going to know my name. My heart swelled at the idea of her finally knowing, and I knew once she saw me step into the ring she would know it was me. I closed my eyes putting her out of my mind for the moment, this was a fight I needed to concentrate on. I had something to prove, not to her but to my men that no one undermines me and no one gets away with that. Stepping into the ring I look across at Memphis who is smaller than me in build, but that means nothing because he is cunning and quick on his feet. The bell rings and I take a quick glance at her out of the corner of my eye before focusing back on him. I know he is a mole but I have yet to prove that fact, so for now I treat him as any other until I find out otherwise.

He takes the first step towards me as he has something to prove as well, I quickly dodge his attack and land a blow to his ribs. I try to leg sweep him but he quickly moves back and comes around fast landing a blow to my side. He doesn't hit hard so it doesn't faze me, I turn around and punch him square in the jaw. The crowd goes nuts cheering for me but that is all drowned out by Hanna's voice. I hear her scream so loud over the crowd calling out the name Seline. As I turn around I see her rushing over to the girl from the club as a big guy land a solid blow to the back of her head. She goes down quickly, and I scream at them to stop the fight as I rush out of the ring the crowd parting for me. I run to her side immediately, I pick her up cradling her in my arms, her eyes closing. The only thought in my mind is please dont let me loose her already, I just found her. I rush out of the gym to my waiting SUV, Derrick is in the drivers seat already and the moment I shut my door he sped off. "Which hospital am I taking her to Boss?" he asks. "No hospital Derrick, you want to get us arrested?" I chastise him. "Well then where to?" he asks again. "My house" is all I say as I pull her body close to mine not caring I am in nothing but my gym shorts.
