Is this love?

Chapter 26

"Step away from my little brother," Roger growls, "before I show you what real pain is."

Ben turns to face him, glaring at him, his lips curling back in a sort of snarl. "You don't scare me, you couldnt beat me. Not in the marines, and not now."

My eyes widen. He was in the marines? When did this happen? Luke gasps from shock, causing me to jump at his sudden action. He whispers 'sorry' in my ear, then stays silent, making a thoughtful grunt. I lean back on him, he tightens his grip around me. Bo squeezes my hand, a little tighter than I thought possible.

Ben turns to Luke. "You on the other hand. You were a worthy opponent." He says, "But now, I'll offer you a deal. If you can beat me once again, We'll let you go."

Luke is silent for a couple minutes, seeming to think about it. I want to say no, but its not my decision, its Lukes, but he should at least know how we feel. He seemed to think the same, for he looked up across the room to Uncle Jesse, who seemed to share my concern. He shook his head, but also gave him a 'its up to you' look, despite his worry.

"Alright," Luke says, after a couple more minutes. "I'll fight you, but fair warning, if any of your goons try to interfere, Ashley, Bo and Daisy, will not hesitate to..."

"Beat your Ass," I growl.

Uncle Jesse shoots me a 'language' look, but I ignore him. Not that I'm trying to be rude or anything, but I can't show any signs of weakness. And flinching at a look from him, would be just that, exposing my weakness.

Luke lifts me up, sets me on Bos lap, then proceeds to straighten himself up to his full height. At a distance, both him and Ben look the same height, but I know for a fact that Ben is taller. Ben also looks more like be could win a fight, but I've seen Luke fight a couple guys much bigger than Ben, and win. So, I hope he has the power to do so now as well, but after not getting much sleep, I don't know how he'll be able to concentrate, he looks like he's about to pass out any second.

Ben smirks, throwing his gun to the side, in which Roger catches it, and slips it in his back pocket. Ben lifts his shirt up over his head. As I said, he was....well built, more so than Luke, but I've also seen Luke beat guys twice his size. Luke gives him a look, then lifts his shirt up, and over his head, then throws the shirt to me. I catch it, giving him a look, until I spot his...figure. damn, he was more built then I thought. He gives me a small wink, before turning back to face Ben, who swing at him, but misses due to Luke ducking out of the way.

A/N
Ik ik its short. Stay tuned y'all for the fight between Luke and Ben. It's going to be...epic. who will win? Will Ben, James, and Roger be forced to leave? Or will Ben win and cause the Dukes and Ashley more problems?
