Ford sighs, easing up his hold. “I don’twantyou to join my crew, Asia. Iwantto teach you how to fight so that when that arsehole Monk or another member of the HH crew tries to jump you, and believe me they will, you’ll be ready.”
“I thought I hadyourprotection?” I say sarcastically, trying not to react at the way his jaw tenses and his pupils dilate as I wriggle beneath him.
Screw him… Do Iwantto screw him? Thoughts of Ford smashing his lips against mine has my hips circling beneath him again. Ford’s responding groan snaps me out of my thoughts, and I stop wriggling. He looks at me a beat too long before jumping up, holding his hand out for me to take. A rush of heat prickles my skin at the lack of contact. My eyes flash to his groin, then snatch back up when I see his dick tenting his joggers slightly. Damn him and damn my body having a mind of its own.
“Take my hand,” he offers, still completely relaxed about the fact that he’s got a raging hard-on.
Ignoring him, I get to my feet, my stupid legs wobbling beneath me. I know it isn’t just because of the twenty laps I’ve run either.
“I will do what I can to look out for you…” He sighs, frowning.
“Why?” I ask, confused by his insistence.
“It doesn’t matter why, I just will. But I can’t be there all the time. You need to know how to fight someone who’s twice your size andwin. Like I said, rage isn’t enough.”
“It’s saved me countless times before. I won’t be beholden to you, or anyone else for that matter. I’ve been at the mercy of others before, believing in them when I had no business to. They let me down, so theonlyperson I rely on is myself. Besides, rage isallI’ve got left,” I say, before turning around and quickly jogging away from him, pushing thoughts of Eastern out of my head.
This time, he doesn’t follow. I should feel relieved, only I’m not. I feel very, very alone.
