Chapter 141: He's your brother

Lucky POV

I laugh and so does Annie, kids crack me up when they do that.

"No. Motorcycles are my thing. He hates my bikes. He drives like a old man, he's so slow"

She laughs with me "Be nice" she says smacking my arm.

"Be nice ucky" Annie says looking up at me with her little stern face.

"Sorry Bunny" When we get to The Big Hall I lean and kiss her head "Go sit with grandma Heather, You can be my date to the movie later." I smile and wink at her.

"Bye ucky! Bye Predty mommy" she says running to Heather.

I look at River and she has tears in her eyes.

I touch her shoulder and she looks at me "She's the cutest little thing" she says covering her mouth smiling as she watches Annie.

"You okay?" I ask softly.

She wipes her eyes "Yeah sorry, I'm fine"

"Enchantress" I say looking at her face, wiping a tear from her cheek.

"I'm fine Lucky it's nothing" she says smiling as she puts her hand on my chest.

"Okay I'm heading to the gym you want to see what you'll be dealing with Monday" I say laughing softy trying to pull her back from what ever sad thought she got pulled into.

"Yeah sure. Lead me to your torture chamber"

I laugh and before I can stop my self I blurt out "This is just fun my torture chambers upstairs"

She blushes and looks at me as she bites her bottom lip she glances up at me and my stomach drops. I'll definitely be adding that look on her face to my spank bank.

Well, well someone's curious. I bet she has kinks she hasn't even discovered yet.

I take a step to her but I stop myself quickly and move back before I do something stupid.

"This way to the gym" I say walking a little ahead of her.

One of the guys is in the ring shadow boxing.

Perfect I think.

"Come on" I grab her hand and stop for a second as the electricity and warmth runs through my body.

She blushes again and a shiver runs through me.

I take her over and put some small gloves on her and I lead her to the box.

The boy Crash as he's known starts getting out.

"Crash, come here for a minute" I say waving him over.

He's sixteen and almost as tall as me but he isn't as built as me. He will be soon if he keeps training with me.

"Crash this is River. She's doing self defense Monday. I just want to her show her a few quick moves"

"Okay" he holds his hands out, she looks at me.

"Crash just like with the littles you hurt her you fight me. She's Pickle girl" I tell him and I shrug when she looks at me rolling her eyes.

He gulps. I lift her arms and have her hit his gloves. He was standing there waiting and I forgot for a minute she didn't know the etiquette yet.

"Okay hold your arms up like this" I show her how to hold her hands in a defensive position. I push her legs apart with mine to get her feet in the stances. I can feel the warmth of her body against mine.

I hold her arms up "Okay Crash slow and light"

He takes a breath then nods.

I take her arm and defend her body as he throws a soft punch towards her. I help her block it and she punches towards his chest.

She jumps up and down when she connects with his body "I got him"

I laugh and smile at her "Now try on your own" I signal to Crash that I'm watching him.

They bounce around each other. Crash takes a small punch towards her and she blocks it.

"Lucky did you see it" I laugh at her and she takes a swing but he blocks.

"Crash don't let you shoulders slump even in training. It's a sloppy habit to get" I say correcting him.

"Yes sir" he says lifting his shoulders.

"Crash move back and she show her some basic moves"

"Enchantress moves back towards me" as she does I get behind her and help her mimic the moves he's doing.

"Good form Crash, keep your feet loose"

I push her legs open a little with my knee, I get close to her and whisper "now watch this next move cause Monday your going to be doing this one" I'm so close I can feel her breathing pick up. "Let's try, what he did now" I run my fingers down her arms as I grab her wrists my thumbs caress the inside of her wrists on their own.

My chin is almost touching her shoulder my lips close to her cheek. I can feel her pulse picking up under my thumb.

She turns her head slightly. I push her face forward with mine. Her breath hitches slightly.

I push my leg forward slightly almost involuntarily.

"Crash out! Everyone else follow him now!!" A deep voice booms through the gym.

We both jump at Pickle's booming voice. She shivers as I step back from her.

"Unglove her and do yours up"  he says throwing me some gloves. Fuck he's going to beat my ass!

"You want to head out the same way you came in. Mia will be to the left she's a great artist. We'll be out soon" he says smiling at River tilting his head towards the door. Her eyes are huge and they never leave his face.

"Lucky?" she says looking at me. She looks so fucking scaried.

"I'll be fine enchantress" I say trying to sound as reassuring as I can.

"Pickle?" she says climbing out of the ring as I hold the rope down. I pull my shirt off and lace up my gloves.

His eyes never leave mine as he kisses her "It's okay Kitten, go meet Mia she is excited to talk art and photography with you."

"I left something for you in there it's just a loaner, I'll need it back" I yell to her softly still holding Pickle's glare.

"Pickle look at me" she says softly pulling his face to hers. His eyes never break with mine.

"He's your brother and you love him. Don't forget that okay" she kisses his lips softly.

His tense body relaxes a bit and he wraps his  arms around her. He pulls her up to his face and kisses her hungrily.

I turn as my jaw clenches. He's getting possessive. This isn't going to be about my part in the lying. This is about her and his claim on her, this is him telling me to back down. This is exactly what I didn't want to happen.
