gasped in horror.
     
    “I dislocated it.” 
     
    “Oh, Jasper!” Her hand fluttered up to her mouth. “You should have told me, I would have come with you!”
     
    “But I don’t want you to see me like this,” Jasper cried empathetically. “I’m broken, Kait,” he said as he thrashed his arms angrily against the sofa. “I’m fucking broken, and I’m a loser.”
     
    “You’re not a loser!” Kait insisted.
     
    “Yes, I am!” Jasper snapped back, his jaw tightening. “I risk losing all of this,” he gestured around his apartment, “unless I get one more win. I’ve already lost my trainer and some of my sponsors.”
     
    Kait reached for his hand and squeezed it.
     
    “Win or lose in the ring, you’ll always have my heart,” she promised him tenderly.
     
    “If I go out, it has to be on top,” Jasper explained. “But right now, that’s not happening. Right now, I’m a laughing stock.”
     
    Kait listened intently to his words.
     
    “I have to get back on top,” Jasper told her. “I just need one more win to keep my sponsors, to keep my dignity.”
     
    His knee burned with a sharp blast of pain, and Jasper winced and reached for it.
     
    “You can’t fight in this state,” Kait noted with concern.
     
    “I have to!” Jasper shouted. “Kait, I’ve no choice!”
     
    She chewed her lip for a moment.
     
    “Then let me help,” she quickly suggested.
     
    “What? How?”
     
    “Let me help you train.”
     
    “Kait,” Jasper was shaking his head in refusal of her offer.
     
    “You said it yourself; you’ve lost your trainer. Let me step in and help, please, Jasper. I had no idea you were going through such a hard time.”
     
    Jasper looked over at her, feeling sheepish. He’d never accepted help from a woman before. Usually women only wanted to see him as strong and powerful; they never stuck around long enough to witness his weaker moments.
     
    “I want to see you train,” Kait told him, her voice level and soothing.
     
    “You do?”
     
    “I think it would be hot,” she purred the words, and her eyes sparkled with desire.
     
    “Well,” Jasper modestly flexed his bicep.
     
    “I also want to be a part of your life. Of all of it. The good and the bad.” Kait added.
     
    “What if all the good is over, and I’m just going to be left with bad?”
     
    “I don’t care,” Kait leaned in close to plant a tender kiss upon his lips.
     
    “Maybe we could start training right now,” Jasper whispered as he looped a hand around her slim waist and pulled her tight to him.
     
    “I know some particularly rigorous exercises that involve two people,” he teased.
     
    “Sounds good,” Kait said before kissing him hard and deep.

    “Are you sure this isn’t going to be boring for you?” Jasper wondered as Kait followed him out of the bedroom. His knee was thankfully feeling considerably less sore than it had the night before. He was able to walk on it relatively unhindered.
     
    “Nope,” Kait said, shaking her head and smiling. “I’m excited to see you in your domain.”
     
    “I can assure you that training isn’t all that exciting,” Jasper told her as he sauntered towards the kitchen. He stopped abruptly when he saw Carl standing before the large refrigerator, the click of it closing reaching his ears. “Carl?”
     
    “Training is exciting, Jasper,” Carl enthused, grasping his hands together before him. “It’s all part of the process, which makes it thrilling!”
     
    “What are you doing here?” Jasper frowned at him.
     
    “Waiting to take you over to the gym,” Carl replied flatly. Jasper glanced at the refrigerator. Carl wasn’t holding anything which meant he must have put something inside. He was about to ask what it was when Carl spoke up.
     
    “So who is getting excited about your training?”
     
    “Me,” Kait spoke up, peering out from behind Jasper. She was wearing a pair of his boxers and a baggy t-shirt and
