???? Blame It On The Pain SIXTY EIGHT:
โTen years in his underground fi ght club. Which is a load of bull if you ask me, because Iโve seen law enforcement officials there before. Hโll, they place some of the highest bets. Anyway, the terms were one fight every two weeks, to ensure I could recover from any potential injuries.โ
I grab a stool to sit down on. โIโd be appointed a coach to ensure I never skipped town and to keep me on a leash.โ
โRicardo,โ she whispers.
I nod. โYup. Iโd also have to win at least 99% of my fi ghts.โ
Her mouth hangs open. โThatโs impossible. No oneโs that good.โ
โYou are if itโs your life on the line.โ
โYou canโt be that good for 10 years straight Jackson! Your body will start to deteriorate, it will break down from all the constant wear and tear. Thereโs no way you can stay number one for 10 years straight. Iโve seen the guys youโre up against, theyโre nothing but freak shows on steroids โ
Her lower lip trembles and I can see the tears in her eyes. โOh, god. DeLuca knows this. He knows that youโll most likely die in the cage before your contract is up. Hโll, heโll probably make sure that it happens.โ
โYeah, thatโs pretty much what happens. The only one whoโs ever made it through his 10 years alive is Ricardo. The reason Tyrone and I are the best right now is because thereโs no one else to compare us to. For the most part, guys usually die in the cage around the first year.
If he senses youโre weak, then he matches you up with an opponent he knows you canโt take. If you prove to be worthy, well, then you usually get the honor of dying in the cage around the 7th or 8th year. DeLuca likes to up the stakes by then. Trust me, itโs some real fked up sht.โ
I look up to the ceiling because I canโt look at her when I say this. โAnd by your 7th or 8th year, itโs probably bittersweet because youโre so close to being out. You can taste it.
But, at the same time, the mentality of being nothing but a machine has gotten to you, so unless you have something on the outside that grounds you, something to go back toโฆthereโs really no point in fi ghting anymore.
Sometimes I think the guys donโt make it because they just give up. They get tired of feeling the pain that fuels them to survive. I know I am.โ
โLillyโs mu rder is how you survive, isnโt it? Thatโs the source of all your pain.โ
โI have to relive every second of it every time Iโm in that cage. Itโs the only way.โ
I want to tell her that she was the one who grounded me, who made it better for me, and that she was my something to look forward to, but thereโs something more important that she needs to hear.
โI wanted to protect you, thatโs why I didnโt tell you about DeLuca. I tried to let you go a few times, but I couldnโt do it. I need you like I need my pain to win my fi ghts.โ
โWhat are we gonna do, Jackson?โ A single tear falls down her cheek. โHow do we make it through this?โ
I donโt answer her, instead, I tear the tape off her wrists and hold her in my arms. She buries her face into my chest and sobs her heart out.
โI agree with Ricardo. Donโt go after DeLuca. Itโs too risky and youโll end up de ad. Weโll have to find another way. There has to be another way. I canโt and I wonโt lose another man that I love to him.โ
I stay silent because there is another way; the only way to stop him. I could care less about my own life, but Iโm not letting him take hers.
She tilts her head up and I donโt even hesitate to crush her mouth against mine.
There are so many emotions filtering the energy running through us, thereโs only one way to exert it right now.
I lift her up, place her on the counter and she wraps her Iegs around my waist. I wish I could be more gentle with her given the fact that I know sheโs probably feeling sore from what happened earlier, but when she sits up, takes off my shirt and scratches her nails down my back, I lose my composure.

โThank you,โ she breathes. โYou have no idea how much I needed that. How much I needed to lose myself in you.โ
I almost laugh because Iโm pretty sure I should be thanking her for that experience. I pick her up and carry her into the bedroom. โYou never have to thank me for that. Besides, I needed it just as much, maybe even more.โ
I pull back the covers and curl up beside her. โI love you,โ she whispers before she drifts off to sleep.
I kss the spot over her heart. โI love you,โ I say before I stand up and reach for my cell phone.
I step out into the hallway and dial Fordโs number. He answers on the third ring. โI want to talk about that deal.โ
