Grady tried to move and Steele grabbed his arm. “Where do you think you’re going?” He was not in the mood for anyone to push him right now.
“Just going to check that guy is gone.”
“You are not chasing him down.”
“Chasing him down?” Effie looked at Grady in surprise.
“No jumping anyone in a dark alley,” Steele warned.
“What?” she whispered.
“No, Grady,” he repeated as the other man narrowed his gaze at him.
“You don’t get to tell me no.”
“Our girl is here in a shit-hot dress, looking like a dream. That guy is an idiot and a prick, but he’s gone. And we both know if you want to track him down and ruin him, you can do that later. Right now, are you really choosing fucking him up over being with our baby?”
Grady looked down at Effie and his face softened. “I was promised a blow job. And there’s the gifts we have for her.”
“We better get on with giving her those, then.”
“I don’t need gifts,” she said. But her tension had eased and she looked curious.
“That’s tough, baby girl,” he told her. “Because you’re getting them.”
A knock and the sound of Trev calling out his name made him groan. “Christ.”
“That’s what you get when you’re The Boss,” Grady said.
Fuck. Him.
“What is it, Trev?” he barked, setting Effie down next to him.
Trev walked in, giving him a nervous glance. “There’s a guy here to see you. Said his name is Wolfe.”
Motherfucking bastard.
“Fucking Wolfe. I’m over his fucking shit. Where is he?”
“Downstairs in the foyer.”
“Take him to Grady’s office,” Steele ordered. “Stay there with him. I’ll be there in a minute to make shit very clear.”
Trev’s eyes widened. “Uh, sure. Okay.” Trev turned and took off.
“Damon, I think you intimidate him.”
He glanced over at his girl as she stared at him worriedly. “Good. That’s what I was aiming for.”
She wiggled a finger at him. “It’s not nice to intimidate people, especially if you’re their boss. What if Trev has a problem? He won’t think he can come to you.”
“He better not come to me,” he grumbled. “He starts coming to me with his fucking problems just shoot me in the fucking head. I am not here for them to off-load their problems onto me. I have enough of my own.”
“Oh no, what’s wrong? Is there something I can do?”
He stared down at her for a long moment. Then his eyes filled with heat. “Fuck, my girl. So damn sweet. You were right, Grady.”
“I usually am,” Grady drawled, making her giggle. “But what was I right about this time?”
