FOURTEEN
There wasn’t a pause.
There wasn’t time to grab Ford, or to kiss him, or to throw myself between him and Reed.
By the time I even thought to do something, Ford’s fist was already breaking Reed’s nose.
I knew it was broken; I heard the awful crunch.
“Get the fuck out of my girlfriend’s room,” Ford snarled, grabbing Reed by the arms. He hauled him into the hallway in about half a second and shoved the guy into a wall, hard.
Ford’s fist reared back again, and I finally launched into action.
“Stop!” I shrieked, lunging between Ford and Reed.
I heard one of Ford’s bones snap, and I knew he was going to shift then and there if I didn’t do something about it.
He ripped me away from Reed, his face still twisted in a snarl, which this time was directed at me. Probably for getting between him and the naked dick in the hallway, I imagined.
Instead of trying to fight or argue with him, I grabbed him by the face and kissed him.
His body didn’t relax, but he let me kiss him. And after a minute, he kissed me back.
When he seemed fractionally calmer, I pulled away and spun to face Reed.
“What the hell are you doing here?” I demanded, feeling eyes on us from the hallway. “I ended things with you.”
Well, technically, Teagan had ended things with him.
But that wasn’t important.
“You’ve been ignoring my calls, so I figured it was time for a house call. Imagine my surprise when I found another guy’s clothes in your dresser,” Reed sneered.
The one pair of sweats?
“You went through my drawers?” I snarled, suddenly feeling my wolf surge toward the surface. Ford’s body quaked behind mine; he was fighting to keep control of his wolf too.
Mine had been quiet, letting me stay human, but apparently she was just as upset by this breach in our privacy as I was.
“I didn’t have a choice,” Reed shot back. “You’ve been ignoring me.”
Yes, I had ignored both of the texts he sent me. But it wasn’t a damned crime to ignore a douchebaggy text of,
Hey, come over so we can bang.
How had I ever been interested in having sex with that guy?
I mean, I had needs, sure, but he was shitty at meeting them anyway.
“That’s not a reason to break into a woman’s fucking room,” Ford growled.
“What’s going on out here?” Del asked, striding into the hallway.
A few people disappeared into their rooms, but I could see most of them still peeking out. No one wanted to miss the drama, even though most people had a decent fear of Del. She was nice, but she was very blunt. And when she was pissed, she wouldn’t hesitate to lay into you.
“This fucker broke into Ebony’s room while she was in class,” Ford said, his voice coming out sounding human—but pissed human.
“I didn’t break in. I have the spare key.” Reed folded his arms across his chest, unconcerned by the erection clearly on display.
