I narrowed my eyes, “Excuse me?”
He grinned. The big bastard grinned.
I looked down at Granger. “You see that big guy over there? Yeah, ignore him.”
I said, but all the while I was busy thinking.... I totally couldn’t wait to have his baby.
And that single thought warmed me in places I didn’t know had been cold.
***
Everything had been amazing.
And I mean everything.
But like it always did, things seemed to go to hell at the drop of a hat.
And that was my moment, right now.
I had just placed my hand in Garrick’s so we could go to the store when I saw it.
Lance... was walking into the garage like he owned the place.
Garrick tensed, and then he shoved me behind him as Lance walked over to us with a sneer on his face.
He got close and then Garrick placed his hand on Lance’s chest and growled, “That’s close enough, motherfucker.”
My phone pinged and I glanced at it.
Everly – Was getting lunch. Heard someone tell that asswipe you were at the garage. He’s on his way.
I relayed the text to Garrick. He didn’t look at me as he answered, “Find out who it was.”
I nodded and then I did just that.
Everly replied with Justin Winston.
Dom moved closer then and waited.
Just then, Chief Klein pulled up, and he got out of his car.
“Thank god you’re here, Chief,” Lance said.
“Excuse me?” Chief said.
“He put his hands on me,” Lance said.
I sneered at him, “No, he didn’t. He just put one hand on you to stop you from getting closer to me.”
“Why is that, Tatum? You never seemed to mind my hands on you,” Lance said with a heated look in his eyes.
Then I stepped around Garrick and placed my hands on my hips. “No, I fucking didn’t. I didn’t know how a man was supposed to treat a woman. I didn’t know that women are able to orgasm. I didn’t know that love didn’t come with fucking ties.”
Garrick cocked a brow at that, but he stayed silent.
“Then why didn’t you say anything?” Lance asked.
And he was right. I didn’t.
