“These for your friends?” I nodded toward the group of women sitting in the couch area. A couple of others were scattered about flirting with the men, but I wanted to meet the main group where Harper had come from. It was lucky, for her sake, that she was no longer in the room.
“Y-Yes,” she answered.
“I’ve got them,” I told her, and used my other hand to wave her on.
I glanced back and saw Corbin watching me. I winked. He smirked. I could still feel his eyes on me when I followed Clumsy.
“So?” I heard Spade ask my mate. “How long you known the kid?”
Corbin chuckled. “Would you believe he’s thirty-six?”
“Fuck off.”
“Saw his ID myself and known him a little while.”
“Razor—”
“Save it. I know what I’m doin’. He’s something else, something special, and I don’t want to imagine a day without him in it.”
“Jesus. He put a spell on you?”
He huffed. “Yeah, somethin’ like that. You’ll like him when you get to know him.”
“Yeah but….”
“What?”
“Brother, I saw the look in his eyes when Harper was over here gettin’ in your face. It was why I helped send her on her way. He definitely seemed like he was contemplating murder.”
“He probably was. But he won’t because he knows he needs my permission to end anyone in my life first.”
“Fuck me, Razor. You gone and lost your mind? Was your warning an actual warning to not kill anyone?”
“Yeah.” He chuckled like he liked my monster side. Yippee. “But he and his brothers are like us. We protect those who are important to us by any way possible. Even if it means we get our hands dirty. Riker’s just a little more protective and possessive of me, is all.”
Oh my God, he sounded positively proud about me being that way.
Which was why it was easy to fall for my mate.
Taking my attention from their conversation, I stopped in front of the group and beside the clumsy girl. Smiling, I placed the tray on the table and straightened.
“Hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you all.” I grinned, tucking my hands into the pockets of my jeans as I rolled from heel to toes. “My name’s Riker, and I belong to Razor, who I call Corbin.”
Lips parted. Gasps sounded. Eyes widened.
They got it.
“I would very much appreciate that none of you lay a hand on him or talk to him in a flirty way, so I don’t have to….” I stilled and wiped my smile away as I tried to think of the best way of saying I would hunt and kill them. “Express my displeasure upon your body in a very unpleasant way.”
They all stared for a few moments. Most looked well warned because I could scent their fear. All except one.
A woman with long brown hair and gorgeous unmarked skin hooted out a laugh. “I like you. Displeasure upon your body. You’re hilarious.”
“And serious,” I told her.
“Oh, I know.” She nodded and stood. She was almost my height but just that touch smaller, which made her adorable. She grabbed one of the drinks. “All the ladies about peed themselves. Which is why you don’t have to worry about us coming near the president now that you’ve claimed him.” After a sip, she added, “My name’s Lynnette.” She went on to introduce the others, and I tried to take in all their names, but the only one I remembered was the first. Oh, besides Clumsy, who was Darlene.
“Hi to all.” I smiled. “Are any of you friends with that Harper lady?”
