Especially knowing what she’d been through.
That poor girl.
Although she probably deserved a spanking for driving so far on her own with an unreliable car.
Yep. Definitely deserved a spanking.
But that wasn’t his business. And probably not something he wanted to lead with unless he wanted to sleep with one eye open tonight
His gaze hit on her again. She looked tense and worried.

He knew he could look intimidating. He was a big guy, with lots of tattoos. Dressed in a leather jacket and jeans, he didn’t look like someone you wanted to mess with.
But really, it was all an act. He had a huge need to take care of other people—especially those smaller and weaker than he was.
All of his friends had found their happily-ever-after while he was on the sidelines.

“Yes, I’m Greer. I . . . you’re Hack? Aidan’s friend?”
Right. That’s why she was giving him a weird look.
“Sorry. Yeah. We call him Sav. Forgot he had a normal name.”
She managed to give him a small smile. But she was still too pale for his liking. And she was trembling slightly.
Cold?

Well . . . it probably doesn’t help that you’re looming over her.
“May I?” He gestured to the seat across from her.
