Half a minute later, Coop openedit.
“Maggie!” I thundered over him. “Get your ass outhere.”
“Don’t let him in!” Maggie called from inside. “He’s like a goddamn vampire. You invite him in, you give himpower.”
Coop’s eyes narrowed a little as he looked me over and every muscle in my body coiled tight. Pretty sure he could smell the lust and aggravation rolling off me, but he just shrugged. “Sorry,man.”
He started to close the door but I stopped it with myhand.
“Coming in to talk to Maggie,” I said evenly. “You can step aside or I can take this shit right throughyou.”
He sized me up again and I flexed my other hand at my side, a couple of knuckles cracking as I made a fist. Adrenalin surged through me. Never woulda thought Coop had it in him, but shit. Was he actually considering fighting me forMaggie?
I’d spent years as a kid getting the shit kicked outta me by dudes way tougher and way meaner than Coop, and you got a clue, you lose enough fights, eventually you learn how to win. Which meant Coop took me on, he was so gonna lose thisfight.
He knew it,too.
“Whatever,” he muttered and opened thedoor.
“For fuck’s sake, Zane!” Maggie scrambled off the bed, yanking her shirt down to cover herself. She was still wearing Coop’s T-shirt. “What do youwant?”
“Want?” I met her in the middle of the room and once I was in her face, I leveled her with a hard, simmering eye-fuck, seeing as that was the only way I ever got to fuck her. “You really want an answer to that,babe?”
“You two got some shit to sort out?” Coop asked, standing off to the side, scrubbing a hand through hishair.
“Yup,” I said, in the exact same breath that she said, “No.”
We stood there a foot apart, me eye-fucking her and vibrating with adrenalin, my dick standing at attention, her glaring up at me with her chest heaving and notblinking.
“Yeah, I’m just gonnago.”
“Cool,” I said, as Coop headed for the door. “Coupla girls in the other room. They’re yours if you want. Just take ’em with you when yougo.”
“Alright,brother.”
Maggie’s jawdropped.
“Andy.” She looked from me to him as he paused in the doorway. Then she walked over to him. “I have yourshirt,” she said, clearly unable to process what the fuck was goingon.
“Keep it,” he said. Then he gave her a chaste little kiss on the forehead and left, shutting the door behindhimself.
Maggie drew a deep, ragged breath, then let it out between her clenched teeth. Her shoulders dropped as she turned tome.
“Are you kiddingme?”
I shrugged. “He scares easy, Maggs. And he was pretty quick to replace you. Better you find that outnow.”
She stood there raging, kinda like a baby bull about to charge. Then she took a few slow, measured breaths. She walked over and stood in front of me. Her gray eyes met mine, so fucking stunning against her honey-tonedskin.
“I hope that amused you. Because it really fucking sucked forme.”
“Maggie—”
“Don’t. Coop’s a nice guy, and you just treated himlike—”
“Coop’s a fucking pussy,” I ground out. “He justwalked out on you. While you’re wearing his shirt. And why don’t you take that shit off? Take a shower while you’re at it, ’cause you stink like smarmy bassplayer.”
Yup.
