Page 67 of Doc's Decision

I keep my eyes on my brother, talking to my girl. “Baby, go back to my room.”

I turn and look at my girl, who’s barely keeping my shirt over every part of her.

"Dunno why she's hiding it." Shiver throws up his hands, the sleazeball grin never leaving his face. "I've seen it all before. Many times before."

Rage vibrates through me, threatening to break free, but I force myself to keep it in check for Mandy's sake.

My gaze flicks to my woman.

She’s watching me, wide hazel eyes filled with a mix of emotions—fear, embarrassment and something else... trust.

"Go," I command softly, nodding toward the hallway leading to my room.

She doesn't hesitate, disappearing from view immediately.

I let out a breath I didn't even realize I'd been holding and turn my attention back to Shiver.

There's no trace of amusement on my face now as I step closer to him. "You done fucked up this time, brother," I sneer, my voice deadly calm.

His smile falters just slightly.

He takes a step back but taking a step back won’t help him.

I’m trying not to be too loud for the sake of my sleeping son. “You need to watch how you talk to my ol’ lady, man. You’re fuckin’ with the wrong person. I’ll tell you that much.”

Shiver chuckles, “I didn’t mean no harm by it brother, just having a little bit of fun. I mean, can you really blame me? Mandy’s hot as all hell.”

I know she is.

Trust me, I do.

Men can admire her, but I will not tolerate men who think they can say the types of shit he does to her.

Without even giving it a second thought I lose control.

I pop Shiver right in the nose and blood comes gushing out the bottom. “Fuck, man!”

"Keep your comments to yourself," I order lowly, eyes blazing with barely restrained fury. "And if I ever catch you pulling this shit again, I'll rearrange your entire fuckin' face. We clear?"

Shiver holds up his hands in faux-surrender, that infuriating grin still firmly in place. "Crystal, bro. Jesus."

One more smart-ass comment.

Just one more and I swear to Christ...

I head back to my bedroom and shut the door behind me, locking it so we don’t get intruded on once more.

My eyes flick over to the crib in the corner where Kash is still miraculously asleep despite the racket.

Fuck.

I urge Mandy over. “Baby girl, c’mere.”

She comes over with my shirt draped around her body, but I pull it down and reveal her beautiful silky skin.

I should probably take a break.

Hell,weshould probably take a break… but I want her.
