“It’s alright, Grim, he has a right to be angry, I shouldn’t have involved you in my shit,” the little dickhead responds. Getting to his feet, he sidesteps her. “Do what you need to do.”
“What? No fucking way!” Kate exclaims, getting between us.
“Get out of the way, Princess,” I say, my eyes fixed on Hudson as I take another step forward.
Her hands fly upwards, pressing against my pecs. I can feel her nails digging in my skin, and fuck me if my cock doesn’t spring to life. “The hell I will, Beast. He’s my best friend, and I won’t let you hurt him.”
“Get out of the motherfucking way, or I’ll make you.”
“Grim, just let him do what he needs to do. I can take it.”
“Shut up, Hud! You haven’t been punched by Beast before, you’ll be knocked out and this time you might not wake up!” she argues. Stepping into my space, she pushes against my chest, her whole body pressing against me now. “He’s a good guy, one of the best. Don’t do this.Please. For me?”
Her voice is quiet, or maybe it’s the rush of blood in my ears from the fact that my whole body is so acutely aware of hers. My fingers flex and curl as I try my damndest not to grab her face and kiss her stupid. “He put you in danger,” I say, my voice gruff.
“I putmyselfin danger. He had nothing to do with it,” she replies, her cheeks flushing red, her fingers curling into my shirt. My cock grows and I know she can feel it pressing against her stomach, I can tell by the way her pupils widen and her mouth parts on a breath.
It’s that reaction that saves the little prick from a coma.
Gripping Kate’s shoulders, I push her away from me, my eyes fixed on Hudson who’s looking more uncomfortable by my interaction with Kate than the fact I could kill him with one punch. “Next time you get into any shit, you come to me. I will not have her put in harm’s way again, got it?”
Hudson nods. “Got it.”
Kate blows out a breath. “Thank you, Beast—”
I glance down at her, ignoring the way she’s looking at me. “Get in the motherfucking car. I’m taking you home.”
“And Hudson?”
“Connall’s dropping him off.”
“Aren’t you still drunk?” she asks.
“Believe me, Princess, I’ve sobered the fuck up. Now say your goodbyes, I’ll be waiting.”
With that I stride out of the room, passing Joey who gives me a knowing look. I give him the middle finger and he just laughs.
“Hey, Beast, you alright, mate?” Connall calls from the other side of the garage, laughter in his voice.
“Drop that little prick off for me. I’m taking Princess home,” I say, ignoring his question because no, I’m not fucking alright. I’ve got a boner the size of a baseball bat in my pants and I need to get the fuck out of here, stat.

“Ow, shit!”Kate curses from inside her bedroom an hour later.
“What’s up?”
“Are youstillhere?” she asks, yanking open her bedroom door and glaring at me.
“Looks that way, doesn't it?”
Frankly, I should be four hours deep inside Natalie’s pussy according to the doctor’s orders, but instead I’mstillbabysitting Kate, hovering in the hallway outside her bedroom like some fucking stalker. Carter took off with the King on business pretty soon after I left the strip club and that meant me spending more time with fucking temptation. The man lost his shit when he found out Kate had been involved in a fight, and the text he sent me after their conversation ended had very strict instructions.
Kill Dougie Slimon and the cunts who thought they could disrespect me.
Could disrespecthim. Not the cunts who hurt Kate.
He didn’t even ask her if she was okay. Not fucking once.
