“He was outside your room when he shouldn’t have been,” he counters.

“I told you, we’re old friends.He was paying his respects and checking on me before he headed out of town,” I lie.I try my best to keep my voice normal, because it’s clear that Wolf is upset.It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to read the signs either.He doesn’t like Devil around me, but then, Wolf has never liked any man being around me.It’s a side to him that always set me on edge and one of the reasons I ran away from a relationship with him.

I like men who take charge, but I don’t like men who try to control every damn aspect of my life.Wolf definitely has a tendency to do that.Dad thought that was great.He wanted me to be with his friend and I know I should try because I owe it to my father.Still, this is another side of Wolf and it makes me nervous.I need to try and divert his attention here.The last thing I want is for Devil to get in Wolf’s crosshairs.That would be bad, especially with Wolf’s temper.

“Doesn’t look like he’s left town from where I’m sitting and I don’t like the way he’s staring at you, either,” Wolf growls.

“Let’s ignore it and get back to our date,” I tell Wolf, trying to defuse the situation.I shouldn’t have even bothered, because Wolf’s body tightens beside me.His arm around me stiffens too, his fingers biting into my shoulder to the point it’s on the verge of painful.I don’t even have to look to know that Devil is walking over here.

Crap.

Chapter37

Devil

“Hey.”

I sound lame as fuck.I should have remained in my seat and then got the fuck out of town.Proving I’m a stupid asshole who is hung up over the wrong woman, instead I walk over here.Jesus.If Beast could see me now, after all of the grief I’ve given him, he’d be having a field day.

“Devil…” Torrent says, shock and something else in her voice and on her face that I can’t name.

“I thought you were leaving town,” Wolf says before I can respond to her.He’s easy to read, however.It’s clear from his tone and the look on his face that hewantsme gone.

“I was enjoying the sights and entertainment this place had to offer,” I answer, looking at Torrent.She might not get it, but Wolf and I are on the same wave length.He knows there’s only onesightI want to see here—and it’s currently sitting at this table, staring at me with those damn whiskey sunny brown eyes.

“Find anything of interest?”Wolf asks, his voice cold.

“Still looking,” I answer.

“I can see that,” he says dryly.

“How are you doing, Torrent?”I ask the woman our conversation is about.

“I’m okay,” she answers.

I study her—reallystudy her.

“Now why don’t I believe that, Angel?”

“A better question might be why you are so interested,” Wolf responds.

“Wolf,” Torrent whispers.

“I’m worried about a friend.That’s not against the law, is it?”I ask him, finally bringing my gaze back to Wolf.

“It’s not needed,” he answers, leaning on the table as if to get closer to my space.If he wants to intimidate me he’s shit out of luck.“I can take care of Torrent just fine.She doesn’t need your concern.”

I let my eyes flicker over briefly to Torrent and the pale look on her face and the tightness that’s there.

“That’s strange,” I answer, forcing myself to look at Wolf again, and not reach out and caress Torrent and make her relax.It’s not my place…not right now.

“That Torrent has someone in her life to take care of her?Or that she doesn’t need you?”Wolf asks like the cocky asshole he is.

“That she needs anyone to take care of her.The Torrent I know can take care of herself.”

I hear her intake of breath, but I still don’t look away from Wolf.It never pays to ignore an enemy and that’s definitely what this son of a bitch is.

“Are you about done here, Devil?”
