Eric wasn’t sure why he had opened up about some of his past with River he didn’t know the guy very well, but there was just something about him that made Eric want to get some things off his chest. He didn’t have any malice or ill will towards the guy who left his girl all hot and bothered last night. In fact if anything Eric was the one the seemed to reap the benefits of it. He didn’t blame either of his girls for seeking comfort somewhere else either. If anything he blamed himself for what happened to them. It didn’t matter that they didn’t blame him. He should have been better prepared. It shouldn’t have happened, not on his watch.
He kept punching the bag, the more he thought about it the harder he hit. Then thoughts of his past came flooding forward. He could hear his dad’s voice in head mocking him for letting the girls get taken. How a real man would keep his women safe, how a real man wouldn’t have let the bad guys get away. He would have made them pay for what they did. Mocking him on how weak he was.
Harder and harder he punched not caring that his hand started to hurt as his knuckles cracked open from not putting on the wraps. He was so deep into thought he hadn’t realized that he was no longer alone in the gym, and that he was being watched until he heard the deep gruff voice behind him.
“Sorry I didn’t hear you come in. Decide on a workout?”

Eric got to his feet and helped River up. He felt bad for leading him on and now making him wait even though he really didn’t want to. Would it be so bad for the two of them he’d have River’s scent on him. Fuck he felt like such a slut right now.
“Come on” he lead River towards the showers and pushed him up against the wall to kiss him again, throwing caution in the wind. “forget what I said and fuck me. I want this you’re the first that’s allowed me to make the choice and I want to.”
"Woah No Not today Eric " He planted his feet in the ground knowing the Jock would not be able to move him Extra strength came in handy sometimes
"You dont know what you want, you are in hell over Hope and maybe your past too Now I feel you are trying to please me. Go beat one out and think of me, or Hope or both "
"This is not a No nor a Judgment just a pause man "
