Page 174 of Her Daddies' Everything

She startled and glanced over to find Lauren standing near her.

Oh. Awesome.

They’d been back from South Hampton for over a month and now they were in South Carolina at another concert. That Lauren had arranged.

Nothing had happened recently and she was hopeful that the wannabe Deity hadn’t had any more Sentinels. He had confessed to everything so that was something.

“I thought we had a conversation about your role in Jenner’s life,” Lauren muttered in Immy’s ear. It was hard to hear herover the noise, but her mouth was basically right by Immy’s ear. She grabbed Immy’s arm, digging her nails into her skin.

Ouch!

And then she was suddenly pulled away from the other woman and tucked behind a broad back.

Tobias had been standing just behind her. He’d been watching everyone with an eagle eye all day. She’d seen several people giving him wary looks. And a number of women giving him admiring looks.

Mostly, though, he’d just stood to the side and let her do what she needed to. Although he had told her off for trying to carry stuff on her own.

“What are you doing?” Lauren said.

Cupcakes. People were turning to glare at them and she was missing the concert. Jenner was about to wrap things up.

“Do not grab Immy,” Tobias warned.

“I didn’t grab her,” Lauren said in a tense voice. “I was just talking to her.”

Immy glanced around again, then she noticed that Jenner was staring over at them.

Shivers. Not good. She waved at him and smiled.

“You hurt her.”

Tobias reached around and gently took hold of her hand, bringing her arm out.

“What? That? That’s nothing.” Lauren was now glancing around, though. She seemed to see the people watching because she stepped closer to Tobias.

Whoa.

She was either very brave or very stupid. Because if Tobias looked at Immy like that . . . she’d run.

Or pee herself.

Maybe both.

Because Tobias was mad. Immy hadn’t actually realized how mad until he’d moved her so she could see his face.

But the man was about to lose his shit. And he couldn’t do that here.

“Tobias.” Immy turned her back on Lauren. Probably not wise, but she figured the other woman wasn’t going to do anything more to damage her reputation. “I’m fine. Look at me. Hey, no. At me. I’m all good.”

“She doesn’t get to touch you. Nobody gets to touch you.” His eyes were intense, his face even more so.

Whoa.

Yeah, this wasn’t the Tobias she was used to. It was clear that he was a dangerous man, but at the same time he had always seemed so in control.

“I know,” she said soothingly.

“She touched you.”
