All Chapters of Caught In The Middle: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Cory was adamant after the party Saturday night that he was going to try and get Quinn to come with him to see Reese fight. He knew it would be in his favor to take her without Reese even knowing, she had said she hated violence…and Cory knew what Reese’s matches were like.Cage fighting was brutal, and being underground fighting the place would be full of gangsters and dangerous vibes that would hopefully scare Quinn off being interested in Reese forever.It was a nasty trick…One he really hoped worked.He wasn’t really sure what was going on between the two of them, they seemed to have a connection that he didn’t and that pissed him off that he was losing…although the competition was off and he had been warned to back off, all that shit didn’t mean jack to him.He liked Quinn and wanted her.He found it strange, he had never really had to chase many girls before, as soon as he made it clear he liked them they generally fell to their knees wanting to be with him. Reese was right to

Friday night and Quinn had managed to successfully sneak out again, feigning not feeling well after studying too hard Antonio had told her to go to bed early and he would send Danny to pick her up in the morning. He knew she had her first assessment coming up on the Fundamentals of Property Law as it pertains to large commercial infrastructure, something that was important to know in his business model.Now, she was waiting on the corner of her street for Cory’s truck. She had to slap her cheeks to make sure she wasn’t dreaming this.A date.An actual date!She had never been on one before…and although she had purposely asked for something casual and fun when they had been messaging each other to plan it out she couldn’t get the image of what happened on Wednesday out of her head.As his truck pulled up and she jumped in with a smile, her stomach flipped and her heart thumped at the prospect of kissing this hunk of a man ag

“Do I have to go to the dinner?” Reese huffed irritably to his father.“Of course you do, you’ll be expected to make a toast as my heir…” Cillian grumbled back as he adjusted his tie.“Ah, fuck…” Reese raked a hand through his hair, frustrated he couldn’t act on the information burning a hole in his soul.“Reese…” Cillian growled. “Pack in the macho shit.”“I’m not doing it on purpose, Dad, I just…” He sighed frustrated.“Yeah, look I don’t like the guy either, so I’m glad your perceptions are on the right wave length but you need to learn not to show it.”“Yeah, yeah…enough of the lecture, I get it.”Cillian grinned, then clapped Reese on the shoulder. “Take your grievance out on his fighter tomorrow night.”Reese grinned back, his golden eyes sparkling. “Oh, I intend to, can’t fucking wait.”“That’s my boy!” Cillian laughed. “Look, do the toast, stay for the main then excuse yourself…you do need to rest for the fight and I’m sure his fighter won’t even attend…it’s only because who y

The fight was brutal, Reese was a lot quicker on his feet than the heavy monster and he dealt a lot of damage to the guy in a short space of time, aiming for his tree trunk legs. Hammering them over and over with hard kicks. This fucker was not going to be able to walk tomorrow…In between the kicks Reese was jabbing at the guy’s kidneys and his eyebrows alternatively. One eyebrow opened up nicely, blood pouring down the guy’s face and half blinding him. There was no time out or rounds in this cage, this was one long fight to the end, no rules. The Ref on the outside to make sure no one else interfered and when a fighter surrendered or was unconscious the cage was opened up.The monster wasn’t completely useless and he had a hard hit to him. He got Reese a couple of times, throwing him back and making his head groggy. His own left eye swelling closed. But Reese was winning and it wouldn’t be too long until the big guy’s legs collaps

Reese decided to ride his bike to college on Monday, he usually liked to ride it if he knew the weather was going to be good, it was no fun riding in the rain. As it was slowly turning colder it was a risk to take and he would soon be faced with locking his bike away for the winter as he did every year.He swung his leg over and stood up, pulling his helmet off and placing it on the seat. It was safe there, no one in this college was interested in stealing a bike helmet, especially when they all knew whose bike it was.He looked up over the grass and saw Vanessa and her crew hanging around the main building. He rolled his eyes…cheerleaders always left him cold, there was something about those fake smiles and the way they always seemed to bounce that just turned him off. Apart from the flexibility he really didn’t see anything good in cheerleaders. He knew Vanessa hungered for him, it was like a sport, always evading her interest. One day he was going to have to set her straight, maybe
