I’m always telling the kids at the gym to keep their fights within sanctioned events, to not let their beasts out in public.
But right now my desire to let my beast out is burning through me like flickering flames, roaring at me to dismantle this piece of shit and leave him a shuddering wreck.
“It’s time for you to leave, Jerry. Zoey doesn’t want you here.”
“Who’s this?” the worm says to Zoey, a tremble in his voice betraying his fear. “Your protector?”
“I’m the man who’s going to make you eat your fucking teeth if you don’t get moving,” I snarl. “If you want a fight, we can fight. That’s fine with me. But something tells me it wouldn’t go very well for you.”
He spins on me, his arms at his sides, but I can tell by the quiver in his jaw that this is all bluster.
He’s not going to do a damn thing if it comes to it.
Men like this rely on backup, rely on having the numbers… or on bullying women, but this isn’t just any woman.
It’s my woman.
I stare coldly at him.
“Well?” I snarl when he just gazes at me. “Aren’t you going to make a threat?”
“Who are you?” he says, trying to act tough but unable to stop the whine from entering his voice.
“I’m the man who’s going to rearrange your face if you ever come near Zoey again. Now it’s time for you to fuck off, Jerry, before I lose my patience.”
“You’ve got to be kidding—”
I surge forward so quickly he doesn’t have a chance to react.
By the time he remembers he’s supposed to be tough, I’ve got my hand around his throat and I’ve pushed him up against the wall. He gasps as I lift him off his feet and stare hard into him, his face turning red, his eyes bulging under the pressure.
“Do I look like I’m kidding?” I snarl. “Leave. Now. Or this is going to get really, really bad for you.”
It takes a lot of effort to drop him instead of crushing his windpipe like he deserves. I only manage it when Zoey places her hand on my shoulder, causing a flurry of heat to move through me.
“It’s okay, Zack,” she murmurs.
Even now, when she says my name I feel my body responding. I feel heat and rightness moving through me, as though I’ve been waiting my entire life to hear her say my name.
I let go of Jerry and he drops like a sack of shit, almost falling over as he totters from side to side.
He catches himself and glares at me, and then looks at Zoey like he’s going to leap at her.
I subtly slide to the side, putting myself between them, fully prepared to work this man over if he makes one wrong move. But in the end, he’s not as stupid as he looks – or maybe he’s just scared – because he turns and stalks down the hallway.
It’s only when he’s at the end, out of my reach, that he stops and turns.
“This isn’t over,” he whines. “Zoey is mine. Do you hear me? Mine.”
He runs for the staircase before I let my rage fill me, snap inside of me, and forces me to sprint after him. It’s lucky he gets out of my sight so quickly, or I know I wouldn’t be able to hold myself back.
Normally I’m able to keep a rein on my temper, but the idea of this piece of shit threatening my woman has started an inferno inside of me.
“Thank you,” Zoey murmurs.
I turn to find her looking up at me with her deep brown eyes. Her cheeks are flushed, and my predator’s mind can’t stop from imagining others parts of her body turning red when I grab them, kiss them, bite them.
I imagine her full round ass turning crimson as I’ve got her bent over my knee, the innocent young thing, with one hand gripping her ass cheek hard and the other teasing between her thighs to find her hot tight young hole. I imagine her whimpering as I slip inside of her, fucking her pink slit as she starts to cream and buck and moan for me.
“You’re… welcome,” I growl with an effort, pushing the words past my burgeoning lust.
“I can’t believe you actually came.” She turns her gaze down, her fists tight at her sides. “I only put my address… well, I don’t even know why. I didn’t expect you to come.”
“It’s lucky I did,” I snarl. “Who was that asshole? Your boyfriend?”
“What?” she snaps. “No, no way. Jerry is… it’s complicated.”
“Then you better invite me inside and explain.” I don’t mention the other things I’d like – I need – to do to her once we’re inside. “Because if that bastard tries to hurt you again, I won’t be held responsible for my reaction.”
