We moved toward the main reception area, and I leaned down close to her ear. “Next time we’re in a hotel, I’m not leaving your side.”
She peeked up at me. “Are you mad?”
“Not at you. That guy was easily twice your age and wearing a wedding ring.”
“He was drunk and thought I was his wife.” She held up her hands when I frowned down at her. “He didn’t do anything except lean on me and call me beautiful.”
With her under my arm, my temper finally fizzled out. “So you didn’t need my help this time?”
She raised a brow. “If he’d actually passed out, I might have recruited you to carry him upstairs, but no. I had that one handled.”
Of course, she did. I’d let my anger at Craig get the best of me and assumed the worst. A chill went down my spine at the violence I might have caused had she not stopped me. Craig might be a lying asshole, but he wasn’t wrong about everything.
I could be dangerous, just like my dad. Instead of me saving Chloe, she’d saved me.
“I’m sorry for overreacting,” I said quietly.
She tightened her arm around my waist and smiled up at me, full of sunshine despite the disastrous evening. “It happens. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you only beat the people who deserve it.”
I pulled her close and kissed her head. “Life is never boring with you, Trouble.”
Despite the exhaustion that came with my adrenaline fading, a smile pulled at my lips. I didn’t know what I’d expected from a date with Chloe. Nothing in our relationship had taken a normal route. Our first date was destined to be a disaster. She laid her head on my shoulder for a second, wrapping her arm around my waist, and I met Craig’s gaze as we made a direct path to the door.
His eyes narrowed on Chloe, and my grip tightened. He probably blamed her for my outburst since as far as he was concerned, nothing was ever his fault. If he tried to touch her, I’d end him.
No history, no blood relation, would stop me. Nothing was as important as the woman cuddled against my side.

After the debacle of a first date where Noah cut ties with his uncle, the rest of the week passed by with surprisingly little drama—and surprisingly little time to spend with Noah. I had major projects due in two of my classes plus learning the ropes with Harper, and Noah was busy as hell leading up to the spring game with practices and training and film time.
Add in my stomach had been upset on and off all week, and I was spent. At the end of each day, we were both too tired to do more than fall asleep wrapped around each other. By the time Friday rolled around, I’d had enough.
When Noah came home from practice, I was waiting for him. Naked. Sprawled across his bed in the soft twilight.
He stopped short, then shoved the door closed. “My favorite way to find trouble.”
I drew a finger between my breasts and down my stomach. “Welcome home.”
He grinned at the sight and stripped down, stalking toward the bed. I licked my lips at the sight of his dick bobbing against his stomach, already hard.
“What’s the occasion?” he asked.
“No occasion, but Ididsay I’m your girl if you need help in the bedroom department.”
He gripped the base of his cock and gave it a long, slow stroke as I watched. “You’re my girl in every way, not just the bedroom.”
“Then come over here and prove it.”
The words were barely out of my mouth when Noah knelt on the bed and pulled me to my knees, roughly turning me to face the headboard. He loosely circled my wrists, placing my hands on the padded headboard.
“Don’t let go,” he murmured, trailing his lips over my shoulder.
I heard the crinkle of a condom wrapper, and then his hands were on me. Everywhere. Noah knelt behind me, pressing his big body against my back, and teased my nipples, my clit, my pussy. My head fell back onto his shoulder, but I didn’t let go of the fabric covered wood.
He nudged my legs farther apart, and slowly pushed two fingers inside me. My legs trembled, and amid the tight waves of pleasure, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to keep holding myself up.
It didn’t matter though, Noah would catch me if I fell.
