Chapter 21: Prepare
As expected every last crumb of the delicious breakfast was eaten that Beth had made for us. We all leaned back in our seats preparing for the day ahead. Beth started to gather all of our plates and take them to the sink. I got up and went to gather the glasses and mugs but Chase beat me to it. I grabbed the wash towel and cleaned the island before anyone could take over that job as well. I could clean up after myself and I wanted to contribute. They had all done more then enough for me so far.
Eric looked over to Logan and asked, " You ready?". Logan let out a long breath and stood up as he replied, "Lets get this over with.". They headed towards the back door together and James followed. James took one step out the door and turned back around, "Little Wolf, are you coming or what?". He smiled at me and I smiled back ready to watch the show. I looked over to Chase standing next to me. "What about you?", I asked as he put the last mug down in the sink. "I do not especially like sunlight. I will watch from in here." He inclined his head towards the door and spoke again, "James is waiting for you.". I walked to the back door thinking over Chase's words. He did not like sunlight. Every shifter I knew did not have a problem with sunlight. I know wolves are more powerful at night but his scent was most definitely not wolf.
We went outside and James shut the door behind me. Logan was pulling over a big blue mat from a shed and positioning it in a bare spot in the back yard. James grabbed two chairs from around the pool and sat them closer to where the mat was positioned but far enough away that we wouldn't be in danger. I sat down and James decided to follow suite.
Logan stopped before the mat getting ready for the fight. He tied his long brown hair tight behind his head then took off his shoes. He stripped off his jeans to reveal tight black shorts underneath that left very little to the imagination. They hugged his body in all the right places. When he pulled his shirt over his head and revealed the most chiseled torso I had ever seen my wolf about jumped out of my body and pounced. Logan's shoulders and back were powerfully muscled and his legs thick like tree trunks. The strength of this big burly man was down right scary. He caught me staring and winked before flexing his arms. I let out a chuckle and winked at him like he had done before in my room.
Eric came out of the shed and threw Logan a pair of gloves. Eric was already wearing tight black shorts with a dark red shirt. He took off his shoes, strapped on his gloves, and was ready to go. He clearly meant business and did not need any time to prepare.
Where Logan was just muscle upon muscle Eric was thin but extremely lean and fit. His tight red shirt showed off his rippling abs and strong arms. He was skinnier then Logan but still looked like he did not have an ounce of fat on him. His legs were toned to perfection and the shorts had me taking a quick peak at his hard muscled ass. I diverted my eyes before Eric had the satisfaction of seeing me swoon a little. I could already tell Eric probably had speed on his side where Logan had pure power and strength.
Both men stepped onto the mat, bumped their gloves together in sportsmanship, and stepped back into position. "This is going to be over fast", James said quietly. Fast... both men looked like fierce warriors... how could this possibly be fast? I gripped the arms of my chair and leaned in ready for the show to start.
