“What’s that?” I ask him.

“What the fuck are you wearing?”Excuse me?

He steps closer and I freeze.

His proximity is too close and now I feel uncomfortable. I need to speak up and hope he gets the message to leave me alone.

“Whatever the hell I want. Now, fuck off.”

A sinister laugh escapes him as he reaches for the green scarf wrapped around my neck, running the fabric in his hands. “Did you have a blindfold on when you got dressed tonight, Navy?”

I hated this scarf then and I hate it even more now.

“Picked it out just for you.”

His brows raise. “Is that right?”

“You’re despicable. Go away, Jared.”

His eyes run the length of me, attempting to intimidate me, but little does he know, I’m stronger than that.

An evil smirk spreads across his face. “Nah, I’m good right here. And this dress,” he laughs. “You look like a clown.”

The hits keep on coming. Too bad Jared’s opinion of the outfit Ichoseto wear doesn’t mean a damn thing to me.

I freeze in place, but my guard is up. I’m a brick wall, firmly planted and refusing to move. He’s closer than ever now, settling himself directly before me. I think about letting my eyes leave him to scan the room for some help, but I don’t trust him.

“Hottest damn clown in this room,” I respond with glee.

“Maybe hot underneath.”Prick.“Oh, come on, Navy. Don’t you miss me? We were so good together.”

I grit my teeth as rage rolls through me. “You’re delusional.”

“Am I? You sure kissed me like you wanted me.”

What the…?Was he even there?

Also, I can now confirm I dodged a bullet. I don’t know this man, and don’t think I ever did. It’s wild to think we worked together as friends for two years before I saw him for what he is—an entitled douchebag.

Jared reaches his clammy hand to touch my face, and I slap it away. “Don’t you dare touch me,” I shout at him, thanking my lucky stars that no important people were around to witness our interaction.

But that also means I have no support.

If only Bodhi would?—

“Did you just fucking touch her?” Bodhi stands behind Jared with anger I’ve never had the joy of witnessing from him.

Perfect timing, catcher.

Bodhi’s massive frame that towers over Jared vibrates in fury. The rage he contains is palpable.

I wouldn’t want to be Jared right now.

I stand on the other side of Jared, watching Bodhi’s next move.

Jared stands motionless. Yep, he knows better.

Bodhi is the biggest and tallest guy on the team. Meaning: he will fuck you up.
