“Hedoesn’t get to watch,” he shouts with a finger pointed in my face. “He shouldn’t even be here. He doesn’t deserve to breathe the same fucking air as you after what he did,” Jace yells back right in her face, and I see red.
I move in front of Lindy and wrap my arm around her, keeping her behind me. “I don’t care who the fuck you are. You don’t talk to her like that.”
“Oh yeah, asshole?” He lowers his voice. “Why? Because she’s your wife? What a joke.”
“No, jerkoff. Because she’s your sister, and she deserves more respect than that. If I wanted to defend her because she’s my wife, you’d already be on your ass with a broken fucking nose. Because unlike you, I don’t hit like a pussy. Then she’d be pissed at me too.” Lindy squeezes the hand I have resting on her hip and drops her head to the middle of my back.
I don’t move until she does.
When I drop my hand, she steps around me and stops directly in front of her brother. “Back off, Jace,” she tells him more calmly this time. “And you might as well spread the word while you’re at it. By the time you were my age, you had Cohen, and you and India were married. India,who, if I remember correctly, you were ready to marry after only knowing for a month. I’ve known Easton for half my life, you hypocrite.”
“But—” he tries to jump in, but she shuts him right down with one look, and fuck me, but my dick gets hard as steel.
“Does your wife know you’re acting like a caveman, Jace?”
“Madeline,” he hisses.
“Don’tMadelineme, big brother,” she snaps back. “I know I’m the baby of the family, but I’m a grown fucking woman, capable of making my own choices.”
“And he’s your choice?”
Lindy looks up at me, her eyes blazing with fire. “He’s my choice.”
Holy shit. I’m pretty sure she’s just saying that because she’s pissed at Jace, but it’s so damn close to what she told me Saturday night, and she doesn’t even realize it.
Jace looks from his sister to me in disgust and shakes his head. “This discussion isn’t over, Madeline.”
“That’s where you’re wrong, Jace. There is no discussion. I don’t need your permission.” A few of the guys from the team start to file out of the tunnel, and Lindy pats Jace’s chest.
That’s when I notice her platinum wedding rings shining bright enough to blind me.
She’s wearing them.
Ho-ly shit.
She’s wearing them.
She turns to me and presses a kiss to my cheek. “Play nice and try not to piss him off more than he already is.”
“Yeah, Easton. Stop breathing because it’s pissing me off,” Jace mumbles, and Lindy glares.
“Ignore him,” she whispers and circles her arms around my waist. “And maybe try not to kill him during your first practice.”
I wrap my arms around her and rest my chin on her head while I watch Jace’s lip curl in anger. “I can’t make any promises, princess. But I’ll try.”
“Thank you.” She lifts up and kisses my cheek. “I’ll see you at home.”
Jace growls, and I smile like I’m king of the fucking world.
She’s wearing my rings, and she’ll see me at home.
She might not remember, but it’s a start.
LINDY
