“You know what you did.” I shoved him into the wall again, the line between professionalism and vigilante justice blurring for me.
“I was drunk last night,” he said, like that was an excuse. “I said I was sorry when you chucked me in here.”
“Not last night, asshole,” I practically growled. “Ten years ago. At your grad party.”
His brow furrowed, eyes lilting to the side like he was trying to remember.
“Anne,” I said.
Recognition dawned in his eyes, and he fucking laughed. “Andromeda?” he asked. “You’re pissed cause I fucked your girlfriend ten years ago?”
I yanked him off the wall, then shoved him right back into it so hard he groaned. “You didn’t fuck her,” I said, seething. “You took advantage of her.”
“It was ten years ago, man. I can barely remember it.” He gaped at me. “But we were partying,” he snapped. “She didn’t say no—”
I saw red and sank my fist into his gut.
He doubled over, and I had to take a step back.
“She didn’t,” he groaned, holding his stomach as he looked up at me. “She—”
I yanked him up by his shirt again. “She shouldn’t have had to, you pathetic piece of shit.”
“Okay, okay,” he said, throwing his hands up in defense. “I swear I thought she was into it.”
Disgust washed over me, twisting my gut. How many other girls had he said the same thing about? Anne didn’t want to press charges because she didn’t want a trial that was her word against his, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t dig into his past and see what I could find.
“I’m going to have your badge for this,” he said once he could stand up straight. “You’ll fucking regret this.”
“Regret this?” I dragged him closer, letting him see every inch of my rage. “Try me asshole. I’ll dig up every single piece of your past, which judging from the look of you, is likely littered with shit you’ve had to buy your way out of.”
All the color drained from his face, and he looked close to pissing his pants.
“You take one step out of line, and I’ll end you. You ever come near Anne again,” I continued. “And I’llforgetthat I wear this badge.”
He visibly swallowed, sheer terror shaping his features. “You her boyfriend or something?”
“Yes,” I answered even though I didn’t know what I was to her, but it went beyond labels for me.
Fear flashed through his eyes.
Good.
He should be afraid of me.
“I understand,” he said, almost shaking where I held him now. “I haven’t…I won’t step out of line. Just leave me alone.”
I released him, and he stumbled back against the wall.
“Good,” I said, my fingers trembling with adrenaline. “Now get the fuck out of my station before I find a legitimate reason to keep you here forever.”
He gave me a wide berth as he exited the tank, heading straight into Tanner who already told me he would do his out processing.
I didn’t spare him a second glance as I headed past them and toward the back of the station where the training room was. We still had an hour before the new hires would report, and that would give Tanner plenty of time to get the prick out of here before Anne showed up.
But it wasn’t enough to stop the adrenaline coursing through my veins.
Even hours later, I couldn’t stop thinking about how I wanted to ruin the guy. And fuck, I’d been in uniform too. I could’ve lost my job if anyone felt the need to report my behavior, not that Tanner ever would. He was a good friend and an even better cop. He trusted me enough to know I wouldn’t go off for no reason, and besides, it’s not like I’d drawn blood.
