“Not a good match? You’re a bottom, aren’t you?”
“There’s much more to a relationship than that.”
“You’re not interested in a relationship?” He shrugged. “So? You’re a bottom, and I’m a top. I don’t have to spell out for you what goes where. I mean, you’re not exactly my type either, but I’m not making a fuss about your braces and not being all that to look at.”
My mouth bobbed open. “What?”
“You got a mirror, sweetheart. You can’t afford to pass up someone like me, so stop playing hard to get and let me in.”
“You should go.” I took my keys out of my pocket. I had nothing left to say to him.
“Not even a kiss after I paid for your meal?”
“A meal I didn’t even want!”
“The only thing you got going for you is that doll size body of yours. Men like me—the fuck!”
I spun around, and the keys hit the floor.
“Griff?”
Looking like a god of vengeance, Griff had Curtis by the collar, holding him high enough that the other man’s feet barely touched the ground.
What was he doing here?
“I believe he asked you to leave.” Griff’s voice was a low growl that shot tingles through my body. “But before you do, apologize.”
“I won’t.”
A glint of steel flashed in front of Curtis’s face. I hopped away from the door and grabbed Griff’s shoulder. “Griff, don’t. He’s not worth it.”
“I won’t leave permanent damage.”
“Still…” I shifted from one foot to the other. “Put it away before someone gets hurt.”
Griff jerked Curtis closer. “Are you going to apologize or what?”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m sorry, okay?”
“Not to me. To him.”
Curtis turned toward me, which had to have been hard to do, given Griff had him in a pretty tight hold. Curtis’s face was white, and his eyes filled with fear. “I’m sorry, Scott. I shouldn’t have said those things to you.”
“Now tell him why you said those things to him.”
“What?”
I nearly had a heart attack from watching the interplay. Curtis looked so confused, and Griff was so serious, his face set in stone.
“Tell him you’re an idiot because only an idiot would have said those things to him.”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m an idiot. That’s why I said those things to you.”
“Now scram!” Griff shoved him and let go. Curtis stumbled down the steps, falling flat on his ass. He scrambled up, ran to his car, jumped into it, and squealed out of the driveway.
“Oh my god.”
“What?” Griff sheathed his knife and slipped it back into the pocket of his jacket.
