“I made the mistake of letting him think we were friends at one time and that he could say something like that to me without getting his ass laid out.” “I’m sorry.” He leans over and places a kiss on the shell of my ear. It’s on the house,” Knox declares to the restaurant before he slips back into his seat, leaving not a centimeter of space between us. “A round of dessert and drinks for everyone. Let’s be honest, I’m way too turned on by all this. That’s cold,” I tease, trying to calm Knox. To know this food is in our town but he can’t have it anymore. I think that might be worse than hitting him. Todd stumbles forward a few steps before getting his footing and taking off out of the restaurant without looking back. “Don’t come back in here.” He releases Todd with a shove. I’ve never seen this side of Knox, but I’m learning there’s a lot more to this man than I ever realized. There’s a glint in Knox’s eye that has me worrying for Todd.
I don’t want our food to get cold.” I pat the seat next to me, trying to lure him back. What else am I supposed to say? “Let him go, Knox.

I think he’s as shocked as everyone else in the restaurant. He looms over Todd, who is laid out on the floor with his hand at his chin. Right now, I’m feeling far from disgusted as I watch Knox standing up for me. Violence should never be the choice if there’s a way to avoid it. But I guess you got to get that cheap pussy sometim-”Īnd the next thing I know, Todd is on the floor, my knuckles are stinging, and the restaurant is shocked into silence. “You know.” He stands straight again and gives me a conspiratorial look. “What do you mean, Todd?” I try to keep my tone level, even as I can feel Ruby holding her breath. “Is that … Yeah, it is!
