Big bad Gray scared of a bit of romance?
Actually, that was pretty hilarious.
“Cookie?” Immy held out a plate of snickerdoodles.
“You’re spoiling her,” Jenner said to Immy.
“She just got out of the hospital, of course I am. Besides, I spoil you every day and you never complain.”
Jenner shrugged and took a snickerdoodle.
Maeve happily munched on the cookie and sipped her drink.
“Well? You haven’t answered my questions,” Sampson said.
“More like interrogation,” Immy muttered.
“Immy,” Sampson scolded.
“Sampson, Maeve is too sweet to say it so I will,” Immy said. “Keep your big head out of her business. Clearly, she is into Gray and Gray is into her. We all know you’re just peeved because you couldn’t find anything about him and Isaiah has been too busy to look into him.” Immy grinned at Gray. “You know we’re only nosy because we care, right?”
Maeve had to bite her lip to stop smiling. Sometimes, Immy knew no fear.
“Is that so?” Gray drawled.
“We just want to make sure you can take care of her. Especially with this stalker,” Sampson said. “I need to know you can protect her.”
Maeve bit her lip worriedly. “You’re right. This guy is even more dangerous than I thought.” She peered up at Gray. “I don’t want you to get hurt. This guy is clearly deranged. What’s to stop him coming after you?”
“Believe me, little girl. It is my sincerest wish that he come after me. Then I can rip out his intestines and string him up by them.”
“Kind of gross,” Immy said. “Wouldn’t shooting him be enough?”
“No. I’m going to make sure he suffers for a long, long time before I put him out of his misery.”
Gray kneweveryone was giving him looks of differing levels of surprise. There might have even been a hint of approval in Sampson’s face before he wiped it clean.
“Aww, that’s so nice of you to want to kill him for me,” Maeve said.
He stared at her in shock. Nice? That was almost as bad as calling him sweet. Was she crazy?
“I’m not nice, girl.”
“Oh, sorry. I shouldn’t have said that in front of the others. I know it embarrasses you to show your sweet side.”
He spun her around so her legs straddled his and she faced him. He had to get something straight with her.
Right. Fucking. Now.
He cupped her face between his hands, glaring down at her. “Let’s get this clear, girl. I am not now, nor have I ever been, nice or sweet. Got me?”
She stared up at him with wide eyes.
“Tell me you understand me.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Tell me you know I can protect you.”
