“And if I ever see you around her again… you’re going to regret the day you ever called her a whore.” Jack released him, causing Doug to stumble back. But he regained his footing and left at the speed of light, not daring to glance back at Vanessa. Owen and Jazz watched in complete shock, mouths open. Along with the rest of the bar. But it didn’t take long before everyone went back about their business.

“That was fucking awesome,” Owen said as both him and Jazz approached them.

Jack’s chest was still heaving in and out when he walked up to Vanessa. He set a comforting hand on her shoulder, but kept his distance. “You okay?”

Vanessa had never seen that side of Jack before. Although, she was thankful he stepped in when he did. She didn’t know if she should be petrified of him at this moment or turned on. She would go with turned on. All she wanted to do was throw herself into his arms, pressing her face into his chest and staying there for a long time. Instead just let out a breath.

“I think I need another buttery nipple.”

With that, Vanessa made her way back to the bar.
