and kissed her lips. It was more than a quick kiss hello and Melanie was taken aback that he would show that much affection in a public place such as the gym.
    Truth be known, ev en though he deemed it innocent, it bothered him a little that someone here would just pick up and sing and dance with her the way that guy did a moment ago.
    Was he trying to send a message? You bet. He just didn’t know why he felt so possessive.
    “Hi , darlin’.”
    And again, she asked , “What are you doing here?”
    “I’m gonna work out with Cody.”
    “ Oh, yeah? So am I.”
    “I know.”
    She smiled and looked at him.
    “Hi , Melanie.” Someone called behind her. She turned around to see Jason.
    “Hi,” she said, smiling.
    Jason didn’t say hello to Logan, he just sized him up.
    “Jason, this is Logan.” Neither of them offered a hand, they just nodded. “Is Cody here, yet?” she asked him.
    “Yeah, he’s just rounding up some boxing gear they keep behind the counter where you first walk in. Said to meet him at the bag.”
    T he three of them walked over to the boxing bag.
     
    Cody beat the crap out of the bag first, then Logan.
    Melanie was transfixed on him. He was quick. He threw hard punches and he just looked hot, she thought. Yeah, there was something animalistic in him, so raw, so rugged when he sweat, that she couldn’t believe she was getting turned on.
    Next was her turn. She knew from the last time she would sweat, so even before Cody helped her with the gloves, she threw off her long T-shirt.
    She wore a black and hot pink sports bra. Now, not only did she have Jason and Cody gawking at her, but she had Logan gawking too. She looked to him and saw him smile.
    He licked h is lips salaciously and she was certain he was thinking about their little pool game or rather the activity that took place on top of the pool table a couple of nights ago.
    She smiled small as she held out her hands for Cody to lace her up.
    Logan leaned back against the half wall of the alcove with his feet cr ossed at the ankle, studying her as he drank from a water bottle.
    Cody gave her a quick refresher and then she began. She punched the bag lightly at first.
    “Come on, Mel, you’re punching like a girl. Really give it your all,” Cody said in encouragement.
    She paused a moment to laugh at him , then she took a swing that almost knocked Jason, who was lightly holding the bag, over.
    “Whoa!” Jason said.
    “That’s what I’m talking about, ” Cody said as she continued to pummel the bag.
    When she stopped, Cody started punching the bag, doing fancy footwork. He backed up and gestured for her to do the same. She did. She looked even better than the first time he showed her. She was feeling comfortable.
    She began to sweat and knew only one or two more punches were it for her.
    She felt so pumped that with the last punch, she jumped up, turned around and kicked at the bag.
    That just sent Jason down on his ass. He didn’t know what hit him.
    Melanie put a gloved hand up by her mouth as her eyes went wide.
    “Oh, I’m so sorry,” she said as Cody extended a hand to him and helped him up.
    The guys and by now the few other men and women who gathered to watch had laughed.
    The guy that had danced with her earlier leaned up against the half wall next to Logan.
    “She’s fucking hot, ma n, huh? I’d like a piece of that,” he said as he smiled at Logan.
    Clearly the guy had missed him kissing her. Logan looked to him and he was not smiling.
    The guy stared at him a moment longer , then shrugged and continued to watch Melanie.
    Cody was remo ving one of Melanie’s gloves as Logan pushed off the wall and walked to her. He took her other hand and started removing the glove on it.
    “You did good , sweetheart,” he said as their eyes locked. They both lifted the corners of their mouths.
    Jason handed her a bottle of water and again she apologized to him.
    “Don’t worry about it.” He reassured her.
    “You want to buy
