The Ryland Boys
Chapter 24

“Holy f*****g shit.”

I pushed Masons jaw back up and stared at my poster as it hung in a locked frame in the ticket area.

The first was me stepping out of the pool with my eyes seductively watching the camera, a hand slowly moving down my breast.

The second was me sprawled over the hood of the car in nothing but a bikini and a pair of heels.

And the last was me in the ring, my eyes seductively watching while I had major boob action and a ‘bend me over this rope and f**k me’ look.

“Well, out of all of them, I think I’m keeping that one.” I said gesturing to the ring one.

Alison laughed “Alright I’m keeping the pool one. It’s sexy and I’m not letting Manny have that one.” She said shaking her head.

“Wait I don’t get one?” Mason asked furrowing his eyebrows at me, I shook my head laughing “No, you don’t.” we said in sync.

He shook his head “Such a shame.” He said sighing.

We took our seats in the front and I watched as James stood by the double doors gesturing for me to come over.

I stood and headed over to him smiling, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in for a k**s “I saw the posters.” He said c*****g an eyebrow.

Laughing I stared at his lips “The ring ones all yours.” I said lifting my eyebrows.

He smiled wider and kissed me deeply, “You know the guys almost lost their s**t when they walked by with the posters. I just stood so proud saying that’s my girl.” He said laughing.

I smirked “You go out there and kick a*s so I can stand out there proud and say that’s my guy.” I said watching him laugh lightly.

I stayed with James and helped him wrap his fists, and gave him k****s while holding the hand guards letting him punch them.

“Damn Norah, you looked f*****g fine on those posters.”

Looking to the guy Jax beat last fight I smirked “Thanks.” I said watching James eye him over.

“James, come on. Don’t let him distract you.” I said watching James look over at me nodding.

The room got a little quiet and I looked to see Jax with Lindsay, his eyes on the guy. “Come on Jimmy, don’t be so mad. Your girlfriends a s*x idol. I’d take one of those posters home and set it up right on my ceiling. Every night before I go to bed, I’d just jack off to it. Did you see the one of her in the ring? Holy s**t that was f*****g-“

I watched him collapse to the side and I stared at James who shook his fist “Shut the f**k up.” He said to the guy.

As the guy stood, and went to fight him, I watched Jax move and get up helping James fight the guy.

Oh f**k!

A referee guy walked in and began shouting at them to back off each other now.

James stepped back and I watched Jax throw another punch to the guys face. The guy went for him but I kicked the back of his leg watching it buckle and he fell to his a*s.

Staring at Jax, I watched him wipe his bloody brow before he eyed the guy and then James. The two of them held a long gaze before Jax broke it and headed to the bathroom with Lindsay following.

“If any other fights break out I’ll be forced to kick you out for the night.” The referee said, Manny walked in eyeing James and I.

His eyes moving to the guy on the floor “I don’t train animals, I train fighters.” He said disgusted with the guy on the ground.

Manny looked to me and smiled “Good to see you Norah, looking beautiful as always. You change teams?” He asked gesturing to James.

I looked Manny over and stared at James nodding as James smiled down at me.

“Alright first fighters, move it.” He said before going out the doors.

The first couple fights went on and it was finally James’s turn. I smiled at him and gave him a k**s for luck “Kick a*s James.” I said watching him nod and go out the double doors pumped.

Going out the doors I headed to Lucas and sat in my chair watching his opponent. I watched James kick his a*s easily and quickly. Standing I watched as he circled on the last round. “Come on James!” I shouted watching him smile and say something to the guy.

The guy looked over at me and I smiled at him as James took one hard punch to his lower jaw. I cheered as the guy landed on the floor knocked out.

As James was labeled winner of this fight I headed to the doors and he came out the cage taking my face and kissing me. A camera flash went off, and then a few others before I let James go through the doors and I headed back to my chair.

Jax went in next, his opponent was a large tattooed man.

Yet he beat him down twice, and on the last round I stood and watched him carefully, his eyes looking to me with a small smirk before he threw three hard punches to the guys chest. My punches, the two hard quick one and one heavy slow one.

I smiled and as the guy fell to the floor and Jax was named winner, Lindsay hurried to his side kissing him and smiling at him.

As Lindsay hurried through the doors, I watched as Jax stared back at me, his eyes longing before he furrowed his eyebrows and headed through the doors.

“You and him still got something going on?” Mason asked me as he stood beside me.

I shook my head “I hope not, it’s easier this way.” I said softly.

He nodded “Amandas the one.” He said to me smiling.

I c****d an eyebrow “Really?” I asked happily.

Mason smiled “Yup. She’s definitely the one.” He said staring at me and sighing “Thank you for bringing her into my life.”

I nodded and ruffled his hair “Just don’t break her heart or I’ll have to cut yours out.” I said laughing.

We watched the last couple fights and after everyone left, we got the keys from Manny to take the posters out of the frames.

Going to the frames I eyed them “Where the hell is the pool one?” I asked looked to Alison who eyed the empty spot.

She eyed the lock “Manny.” She said going inside furious.

I watched James walk out with his parents and brother, and I unlocked the frame pulling the poster and rolling it up.

He stared at me and I walked over to him leaning into him kissing him and holding the poster to his chest. “As promised.” I said c*****g an eyebrow.

James smiled wider “Thank you Angel, you want to come with my family to dinner?” He asked gesturing to his mom and dad who where going to their car.

I don’t think they like me much.

I shook my head “Let’s celebrate tomorrow night.” I said watching him smile and nod before kissing me and then looking to Alison and Manny “See?! Someone took it! That was mine!” She said annoyed.

Manny shrugged “Well you aren’t taking mine. I’m hanging this one in the hall of frames.” He said proudly.

I laughed “Hall of Frames?” I asked.

He nodded and Alison looked shocked “Fine but she better be next to mine.” She said c*****g an eyebrow at Manny.

Manny smiled “Of course.” He said winking and going inside.

I eyed Alison “Yours?” I asked laughing.

James laughed and looked down at me “I should go.” He said.

I kissed him and watched him go out to the car with his parents.

Looking back at Alison she smirked “Mines about twenty years old, I did it when I was eighteen.” She laughed “Feel honored though, the hall of frames is only the best. He’s got twenty two now on there including yours. That’s out of thousands.” She said proudly.

I smirked “Is that why you wanted it?” I asked.

She shook her head “I was going to give it to Jax in secret.” She said laughing.

Oh you sneaky woman!

I scowled and laughed “You’re a sneaky woman.” I said shaking my head.

She laughed “He would’ve loved it.” She said sadly.

Jax came out the double doors giving Lucas a fist bump, “You kicked a*s Jax!” Lucas said proudly.

Lindsay’s phone rang and she sighed answering it “What mom?” She asked with attitude.

“Well I don’t give a f**k. Figure it out yourself. God sometimes you’re just such a dumb a*s.” She said annoyed.

I never would’ve talked to my mom like that.

Alison eyed Lindsay but didn’t say anything just looked to Jax who seemed embarrassed.

Lindsay hung up “Sorry babe I gotta go, my retarded mother can’t figure out how to order the right flooring for the new bathroom.” She said kissing him and leaving to her car driving off.

I eyed Jax and he smiled softly at me “Nice posters.” He said gesturing to the only one left, I stared at me sprawled on the car. “Someone stole one.” I said laughing.

He stared at me with furrowed eyebrows “Seriously?” He asked looking over the empty poster frames.

I nodded “I gave James the fighting one but the pool one is gone.” I said as they all started heading to the truck.

Jax stared at me smirking lightly, before looking down at his gym bag and picking it up walking to the truck.

My curiosity grew and I looked to Manny who was pulling his from the frame and laughing.

I watched them all go to the truck and stared at Manny “What?” I asked.

He smirked “There’s your missing poster.” He said gesturing to the gym bag in Jax’s hand.

No, he didn’t…he wouldn’t….

“Oh shit.” I said low.

Manny laughed, “Guess he knew he wasn’t getting one.” He said before going inside the gym.

I followed them to the truck with my eyes on the back of Jax.

We got to the house and ate dinner around the table, talking all about Jax’s play and what happens next.

He looked up at me and then stared at his mom “The last one I’ve got to fight is James.” He said looking up at me.

I watched them all stare at me and felt very weird.

“Well, that’s just awkward.” Mason said laughing and picking at the last of his steak.

Staring at him I nodded “Tell me about it.” I said low, sighing.

We switched the topic quick when Alison brought up my poster being placed in the hall of frames.

Dinner finished and I went upstairs to my room changing into a night dress and reading while I listened to the sound of Jax showering.
