They both storm forward, not giving him a chance to escape. Once he’s surrounded, Jax draws near until their faces are almost touching. “It doesn’t matter who we are. We're here to talk about you, friend.” Every word is said with vitriolic passion, and I bet Ash feels every one of them.

Gabe bumps Jax out of the way. “Hey, my turn.”

Jax draws his clenched fist and presses it against Ash’s jaw as he stares him down. “Don’t worry man, there’s plenty to go around.”

Once I know that the guys have him within their grasp, I come out of hiding. Ash’s eyes connect with mine and a nervous smile appears on his face. “Well, if it isn’t the neighbor. Trying to get rid of the competition so you can have her all to yourself?”

Ignoring him, I creep up close as the guys move over, giving me the one on one I’ve been waiting for. Balling his shirt in my fist, I lift him off the floor and slam him against the wall until his head rattles. “I’m going to say this only once so listen up motherfucker because I won’t repeat myself. You’re done hitting her. Stay away from her. If she so much as has a scratch on her finger, you’re going to pay for it. Only a pathetic, little shit beats on a woman.”

I press my forearm against his neck, constricting his airways. “Do you like that? Because she didn’t.” His eyes go wide and he tries to pry my arm away.Nice try asshole.

“The best thing you can do for yourself is to tell her that you want to end it. I can find out anything about you and use it to destroy your life. Like that arrest. Does she know about it?” I see the terror in his eyes before I toss him on the floor like the garbage he is.

He breaks into a mirthless laugh. “You think this will keep me away from her? She’s mine asshole, not yours! She knows what’s good for her. I never hit her. My girl likes it rough. You should feel how wet her pussy gets when I choke her while we fuck.”

Rage beats in my ears like a second heartbeat and I strike. The firm punch rattles his jaw and blood spills from his busted lip. Before I get a chance to kill him, the guys pull me off. Teeth bared, nostrils flaring, I’m sure I look every inch the feral beast ready to tear him apart. I try to fight my way toward him, but their combined grips won’t let me.

“Just because we stopped him this time doesn’t mean we won’t come after you again. Stay away from her. You’ve been warned,” Gabe says, his voice even.

“Next time, we won’t stop him, and his fists won’t be the only ones in your face. Don’t make us come back,” Jax adds with a menacing smile. They don’t wait for a response as they drag me out. I can only hope this doesn’t backfire.

Chapter 11

Damian

Once I cool off at Gabe’s for a bit, I go home. While laying in bed, all I want is her. The physical need to see her, to make sure she’s all right, eats at me. She hasn’t sent me anymore texts except the one about going back to her place. It’s kind of late, so I decide to send her a message instead of just showing up at her door.

Damian: Hey.

Her reply comes immediately.

Lilah: Hi.

Damian: I’m sorry I didn’t call yesterday. I had to do some things for work then went to get a drink.

Lilah: It's fine.

Damian:I want to see you. Can I come by?

Lilah: OK.

I throw on a white T-shirt and some flannel bottoms and am at her door in no time. She opens it before I even knock. I approach, wanting to hold her, to feel her warmth, but I don’t get the chance. She reaches her arm out and places it on the doorframe.

We lock eyes and she stares intensely with pursed lips. Her gaze slides down the length of my body, landing on my waistband. My breaths intensify while I try to figure out if she’s pissed or if she wants me.

She looks back at my face while my gaze drifts down to her luscious, pink lips. I’m unable to control the magnetism. The need to own that mouth is strong. Damn it, I want her, every fucking inch of her. My body’s greedy for just one taste. One touch. One anything. That’s all I need.

But who am I kidding? That’ll never be enough. Not with her. With her I want everything. I want her body. Her mind. Her soul. I want all of it. All the time. Everyday. Until she breathes me and I live her.

My eyes lock in on her breasts bursting from her black top. I want to free them from their captivity and feel all that softness. I want to suck those hard nipples poking through her top and make them ache for more. I need to hear her beg me to fill her, beg me to give her the release I know she desperately wants.

Her legs are almost bare, nothing but a pair of tiny, light pink pajama shorts cover them. I want them wrapped around my face, tight and trembling as she comes all over my mouth.Fuck. I need to stop before I flip her over my shoulder and show her how a man really treats his woman.

I release a sharp exhale. “May I come in?”

She bites her lower lip and shakes her head.Are you kidding me, woman?If you bite that lip again…

“I know you’ve been avoiding me. So why should I let you in now? P.S. I don’t believe you were working.”
