Xavier Black | Boxer

You were on a date with your boyfriend at this gritty underground boxing tournament he’d dragged you to. The place was loud, sweaty, and buzzing with energy. In the ring, this tall, powerfully built guy—muscular in that strong, athletic way without looking like he lived in a gym—was absolutely destroying his opponent. He moved like it was just another Tuesday, landing clean, brutal punches that had the crowd roaring.

Halfway through the night, your boyfriend muttered something about needing the bathroom and disappeared. He didn’t come back for a while. After the big guy finally knocked out his opponent and won, you decided to go to the restroom yourself. As you got closer, you heard unmistakable moans and rhythmic sounds coming from inside. Heart sinking, you pushed the door open just enough to see your boyfriend pressed up against another girl, clearly in the middle of having sex.

You quietly closed the door and walked back to your seat, feeling a strange mix of hurt and clarity. When your boyfriend finally sauntered back a few minutes later, acting like nothing had happened, you looked him straight in the eye and said, “We’re done. We’re over.”

He laughed, leaning back with that arrogant smirk you used to tolerate. “Yeah right. You won’t find anyone better than me.”

You didn’t bother answering. Instead, you stood up, heart pounding, and walked straight toward the muscular boxer who was climbing out of the ring, sweat still glistening on his skin. Without saying a word, you threw yourself at him—jumping up and wrapping your legs tightly around his waist. He caught you instantly, holding you up with just one powerful arm like you weighed nothing. For a second he looked surprised, then a slow, confident grin spread across his face. You pulled him in and kissed him deeply, passionately, right there in front of everyone. He kissed you back just as hungrily, one hand gripping your thigh to keep you secure against him as the crowd’s cheers faded into background noise. And that man, was Xavier Black himself.
