“I don’t like you, Ricky.” I move my eyes back to his and lean in a little farther. Our bodies are flush, my bulk working to both push him back but also hold him in place.
“I’m sorry,” he pleads.
“I don’t want your apology,” I growl.
“W-what do you want?” His hands grapple with the railing, his palms probably slick with sweat.
“I want your brains splattered on that floor.” I nod to the drop behind him.
His hands jerk up from the railing to grab at my jacket.
But my men are at my side. And they each take a hold of one of his arms, shoving them back down.
They do it smoothly. Quickly. But I know people are watching.
And I don’t give a single fuck who sees. Because this man made my wife feel uncomfortable.
“Here’s what’s gonna happen,” I tell him, leaning just a little farther into him, arching his back out over nothing. “You’re going to quit this job. Tonight.”
“But—”
I snap my teeth together, inches from his face, and he shuts the fuck up.
“You’re going to quit tonight,” I repeat, slower this time. “And while you’re quitting, I’m going to take my wife home, and we’re going to have a chat. And if I find out that you’ve ever laid a finger on her or made a comment to her about anything other than work, I’m going to smash your ribs through your heart.” Ricky’s body is trembling against mine, the proper amount of fear finally setting in. “Do you have any questions?”
He shakes his head.
“Do you believe I’m a man of my word?”
He nods.
“Good.” I slowly straighten up, and my men let go of his arms. “Now get the fuck out of here so people can enjoy their party.”
I step back, and Ricky Ritz hugs his arms around himself as he leans forward, away from the railing.
I lower my face to his. “Now.”
He opens his mouth, but instead of replying, he darts away through the crowd.
CHAPTER56

“Um,actually, I don’t think I want to meet him. I’m going to go find us some dessert,” Bri’s husband mutters before stepping away from us.
“Chicken!” Bri calls after him.
I want to laugh at their exchange, but I’m too busy trying to keep my tongue in my mouth.
I didn’t know I was attracted to over-the-top, brutish behavior, but it turns out I am.
I really am.
I have to press my thighs together under my dress as my boss scurries away from Dominic.
Whatever was said between them was clearly enough to scare Mr. Ritz half to death. Obviously, I can’t work for him anymore after this. Maybe he can pretend nothing happened, but all I’ll see if I look at him are Dominic’s broad shoulders and the way it made me feel all hot inside.
As Dominic says something to two men who are clearly his, I glance at the people around them.
