Atlas looked down at me.
His lip curled.
“He threw something at you.”
“Atlas…”
Atlas took one step and the two guys jumped up from the bar.
I covered my mouth in shock.
Atlas threw both of his large hands out and grabbed the guys by their shirts.
He picked them up off their feet and drove them back to the bar, sending them up and over the bar, landing behind it.
I had never seen anything like that before in my life.
Atlas was big, mean, dangerous, and really strong.
And we were just seconds away from being kicked out of the restaurant.
Chapter Seven
ATLAS
I stoodin front of Hazel, my blood still boiling.
“I won’t lie to you, love. I’ve had dates that were even shorter than this one.”
“So this date is over then? That’s it?”
“I just got us kicked out of the restaurant.”
“Those two guys were going to try and hurt you,” she said. “Or hurt me.”
“Oh hell no, Hazel. Don’t you dare twist this around into some kind of thing about honor. I did not defend you. I did not toss those assholes over the bar in the hopes of getting into your panties. Okay?”
“And that’s the kind of a thing assholes usually say to get into a woman’s panties.”
Do you want me in your panties, Hazel? Don’t fucking tempt me. Don’t fucking flirt with me either. I don’t flirt. I don’t mess around. If you want to do this, we can fuck.
“You got what you wanted out of this, right?” I asked. “You got to eat. That was your big demand. So this is all over now. We did it, Hazel. We survived it.”
“I guess we did.”
“I’m going to drive you home,” I said.
“I had a few drinks, Atlas. You’re not my type. Just so you know.”
“Oh, wow. That’s heartbreaking to hear.”
“I’m just being honest. And you’re not my type… and you’re not… if I go home right now, I’m going to have to call Hannah. She’s my best friend. She did this to me. She set this up. You would have had a ton of fun with her. She loves to get naked.”
I nodded. “So that’s what you think of me? You just assume I want everyone naked? That I’m some rich athlete and want to screw every woman in the world?”
“I didn’t mean it like that…”
Now I was the one with a bigger problem than getting kicked out of a restaurant.
