He was still wearing his jeans, skintight, navy tee and biker boots, and his hands hung loose and casual at his sides. However, the minute he entered, any other presence was forced from the room as his invaded. His eyes were hyper-alert and sharp. He was emanating pure, brutal energy and he was seriously and obviously pissed off.
He stopped and glanced at the ice on my face.
A muscle in his cheek jumped.
Uh-oh.
He cut his eyes to Wilcox.
“I thought we had an understanding,” Lee said.
Wilcox had come to his feet and he put his hands up in a placating gesture.
“Lee, it was a mistake. I just wanted to have a talk with your girl here and things got out of hand.”
“Coxy, things are gettin’ out of hand a lot these days. Who hit her?” Lee’s pissed-off glance slid to Goon Gary.
Wilcox looked to Gary and I looked to Gary.
Gary looked a little pale.
“Let me take care of it,” Wilcox said.
“You don’t tell me, I’ll go through every one of your men,” Lee replied. “That way I’ll be sure to get the fuck.”
Holy shit.
I nearly wet myself.
The way Lee said that made me shiver, andnotin the usual way Lee made me shiver.
Wilcox sighed, obviously overwhelmed by the stupidity of his workforce. Clearly, sometimes it’s tough being the leader of the bad guys.
“It was Teddy,” Wilcox answered.
Lee nodded, walked toward me and pulled me off the couch.
“It was nice to meet you,” Wilcox said calmly as Lee escorted me out of the room, his hand curled around my upper arm.
I looked over my shoulder and said (perhaps feeling a bit tougher now that Scary Lee was with me). “The pleasure was all yours.”
I heard him laugh as we left.
Lee did not laugh. Lee ignored the whole exchange.
Lee put me into the passenger seat of his silver Crossfire and got in the driver’s side. He started the car and we shot from the curb. Before I could say a word he grabbed his cell and punched a number.
“Pick up Teddy and take him to the office,” he paused, “Coxy’s boy.”
Then he hit a button and tossed the cell on the console.
Yep, angry.
“Ally—” I started to say.
“She’s fine.”
I took in a breath.
