I kiss the tip of her nose. “I vote for brains and bra size.”
She smacks my chest, and I roll onto my back, bringing her with me.
“You would.”
“Come over after work, then.”
“I can’t,” she says, before getting out of bed and slipping her jeans on. “I have to pick up Javier from Del’s.”
“Bring him with you. Better yet, why don’t I see if Tori will let me take Drew for the night? I can pick them both up, feed them dinner, and hang out until you get off.”
“Hmm. Javier would like that.”
“I have a meeting until four. Tell Del I’ll be there by five-thirty to pick him up.”
She pulls her shirt over her head and sits on the bed next to me. “You really want to hang out with my kid all night?”
I slide my hand around the back of her neck and massage the base of her head while looking right at her. “I really want to spend time with you, and he’s yours, so yes, I want to get to know your kid.”
Her gorgeous smile and her lips wet from where she just licked them awakens my dick. It’s literally screaming, “Good Morning. It’s play time.”
“I might have been wrong about you, Tug Hunter,” she says seriously, with no clue where my thoughts are, or that I may not have been listening.
I grab her hand and bring it to my crotch. “And you might have too much clothing on.”
I knock on Del’s door and Javier answers. Over his shoulder, I notice the television tuned to Nickelodeon, but I don’t see Del.
“Hey, buddy. Where’s Del?” He points to a door that I assume is to her bedroom. “Get your things.”
Before I reach the door, I hear a laugh that has every hair on my neck standing on end. My blood boils as I turn the knob and pray that I’m wrong. Please, let me fucking be wrong. The door opens, and I see red.
“What the fuck are you doing?” I shout, storming into the room.
“Oh, shit!” Harrison shoves a naked Del off him and jumps to his feet, covering himself like a teenager who’s just been caught by his girlfriend’s parents.
In a matter of seconds pain shoots through my hand as my fist connects with his jaw. The force of the blow knocks him off balance, and he falls back onto the bed. I scramble on top of him, and my knuckles crack with the next meeting of his face. Blood trickles down my wrist when I draw back. I don’t know if it’s mine or his, but I don’t care, and it doesn’t stop me. This time, he moves his head quickly, and my fist pounds into the mattress, which only succeeds in making me angrier.
Harrison holds his forearm up in front of his face, expecting another blow, but I notice Javier at the door. Thankfully, Del has put a robe on, and I’m blocking Harrison.
I turn my head. “Wait by the door, buddy. I’ll be right there.” His wide eyes soften, and he turns and leaves.
I get off Harrison and stand, the adrenaline coursing through me doesn’t allow me to feel the pain in my hand, but I notice it swelling. I point a finger at Del. “I’m going to assume you didn’t know he had a girlfriend.” She nods nervously, clutching her robe closed. “But that doesn’t excuse you being in here fucking some guy while you’re supposed to be watching Javier.”
“Whatever.” She rolls her eyes. Her lip snarls. “It’s not like Maria pays me. I’m doing her a favor.”
The vein in my temple throbs. Maria and Javier deserve better friends.
“She no longer needs any favors from you. Now go make sure Javier has all his things. I’ll be out in a second.”
My tone is severe enough that she leaves without questioning me. I don’t move toward Harrison, knowing I’ll rip his throat out if I get close enough. He had the decency to put boxers on.
“You tell Liv, or I will.”
He runs a hand through his hair and pulls on the strands. The blood dripping from his nose brings me an immense amount of satisfaction. “I can’t.”
“Fine! I will.”
He takes a step toward me with his hands up. “Look, I fucked up, okay? Things have been difficult between us.”
