“Don’t worry, I’ll break his hands before you get the chance.” She smirks.

I almost tell her I love her right now. The words are so close to escaping, but I manage to stop myself by taking her mouth again.Fuckthis woman has been perfect for me all along, but she’s even more perfect right now.

She pushes against my chest again and I break away with an annoyed sound.

“I need to go back out there; please tell me you guys are sticking around?” I hear the pleading tone in her voice, the desperation.

“We aren’t going anywhere without you, killer,” I tell her honestly.

With another quick press of our lips, she rushes out of the bathroom and I don’t wait as long as I probably should before following her out.

Once I’m back out there, I see Adam and approach him. “I talked to Max.”

“What did she say?” he questions.

“Not much, her mouth was a little busy.”

“Seriously, the first chance you get you have her blow you?”

“No, you asshole.” I shake my head. “But that guy that thinks he’s engaged to her isn’t getting out of here alive. Not when he’s put his hands on what’s mine.”

“For once we agree on something. Stay close, and keep track of Drew and Danner.”

“You keep track of them, I’m not taking my eyes off Max.”

The night goeson and I stay true to my word, keeping my eyes trained on Max throughout the entire night. Everyone sits down for dinner, the alcohol in the glasses on the table being kept full. Including the man who won’t leave her side.

I’ve been keeping track of how many drinks he tosses back and the way he’s growing loud and unsteady. It’s getting harder and harder to hold back because I want nothing more than to just steal Max away from this place.

I lose track of her for no more than ten seconds, and I’m unable to find her again. I see Drew, Adam, and Danner alllooking around as well. I rush toward Danner first. “Where did she go?”

“I don’t know.” She shakes her head, pulling me into a less crowded area, her head on a swivel.

“Where’s that fuckwad?” I snap louder because I can’t see him either.

Drew comes over. “Where’d they go?”

Adam joins last. “Did they leave?”

“What the fuck?” I shout louder than I should.

She wasn’t supposed to leave. We were going to take her out of here with us, so how the fuck did she get away? I rip off the stupid vest, and loosen the buttons near the collar of the shirt. “We’re going to that house; I don’t give a fuck.”

I’m surprised when no one argues with me. We all storm out of the venue, not caring that we’re being yelled at. I just hope that we aren’t going to be too late getting to Max and getting her the fuck out of here.

CHAPTER 16

MAX

Carson yanks me out of the venue and I try to get away from him, but the death grip he has on my elbow makes it impossible without screaming for him to get his disgusting hands off me. I do think about doing that, until he says, “Do something stupid, and all your guys are dead.”

Since we’re in a place surrounded by people he knows and is associated with, I don’t put it past him. Especially since he somehow noticed that they’re here. But I’ll get away from him. I’m leaving tonight, at least back at the house I can put up more of a fight. I can get back to the guys and to Danner.

They’re here.

They’re all here.

For me.
