“I’m not either.” He swallowed and moved his fingers to trace over my knuckles. “Can I ask…why? All these fights… Why do you do it?”
I’d never given a lot of thought to that. Fighting always felt like something I had to do if I didn’t want to end up in jail from knocking random assholes out on the street. I was sure there was a therapist out there who’d wanna diagnose the nitty-gritty of why, all my abandonment and rage, blah blah fuckin’ blah. It didn’t matter.
“I need to,” I said.
“Okay.” He seemed content with that answer, at least for now. “Why underground?”
I shrugged. “No rules?”
“And more money? Nah. I bet you could make a killing doing it professionally. Ever thought about that?”
“Nope.”
He seemed amused by my clipped answers and tapped his lips. “Have you even given a thought to what you’d like to do after college? I don’t even know your major.”
“No clue, and my major is whatever my advisor put down.”
“Seriously?”
“Yeah. I’ll end up where I need to.”
“Just go with the flow with no plan, huh?” Gavin shook his head. “We’re gonna have to circle back to that one when you’re not about to go pummel a few people to death.”
My lips quirked. “I never let it get that far. Too much mess.”
“Oh God. I can’t tell if you’re joking or not.”
“Joke? What’s that?”
Gavin shoved me in the arm, and I grabbed his wrist and yanked him on top of me.
“I’m being serious,” he said, positioning himself so his legs flanked my hips. “You should think about it.”
“You think I can think aboutanythingwhile you’re grinding your dick against mine?”
“You’re the one that pulled me over here.”
“Ah, my mistake—get off.”
Gavin looped his arms around my neck and batted his lashes. “I thought you didn’t want me to grind my dick all over you.”
“The fuck you get that idea from? I said I couldn’t think when you did.Butnow that you’ve stopped, I remember I gotta go.”
Gavin reluctantly climbed off me, and as I got to my feet, he announced, “I’m coming with you.”
“Excuse me?”
“I’m going to grab my jacket and come with you.”
He went to walk by me, and I took hold of his arm. My heart thumped wildly at the thought of him anywhere near the assholes I’d be going up against tonight.
“You’re not coming with me.”
“Yes. I am.”
“No, you’re fucking not.”
Gavin gently pulled his arm out my grip. “You can’t tell me what to do.”
