“So, you got what you wanted from her,” Travis said, stabbing a roasted potato and shoving it into his mouth. “Now what?”

I glared so hard my eyes almost popped out of my sockets. “Yeah. I did.”

Fuck him.

“Good.”

“What does that mean?” My brows lowered.

“Guys. Stop.” Killian raised a hand. “No fighting in my restaurant. Or I will fucking remodel and send you both half the bill.”

Travis shrugged.

It was the stupidest threat ever. We were both worth billions.

“Yeah, cut that shit out. We aren’t kids anymore,” Maddox said, and Travis and I had almost smiled at one another. Almost. “What now? Are you handing them over to the cops?”

I sighed. “I don’t know.”

They all stared at me like I had two heads.

“Dude. This could expose a lot of people,” Zayne said. “You have to give them to the authorities.”

Maddox nodded in agreement.

“Is that how she made money? By keeping them and blackmailing them?” Travis asked.

“Could be.” I sipped my coffee.

“How has Aurora taken it?” he asked next.

“She’s thrilled. How the fuck do you think she’s feeling? Jesus. And yes, I’ve walked away and left her alone. So fuck you.”

His dark eyes glared right inside my soul. “You’re a fucking asshole.”

My coffee cup slammed down on the table, sloshing everywhere. “You want to fuck her?” I yelled, pointing across the table.

He held out his hands all come at me dick. “Yeah. I do. Unlike you, who just fucked her over.”

My chair pushed back and the guys all shot into action.

“Keep away from her. Do you hear me?” I yelled as Killian groaned and nearby patrons moved from their tables.

“Aurora doesn’t belong to you. She’s mine.” I growled, ready to rip his throat open.

Then the asshole smiled. He sat back down and picked up some toast and started munching on it.

We all stared at him.

She’s mine.

“What?” Travis asked, taking his napkin and wiping his hands. “Someone had to make the idiot realize he was in love with her.”

Killian pushed on my shoulder and I sat down.

“Jesus, I thought he was going to hurt her.” Maddox shook his head and sat, then dug back into his breakfast. “I miss everything now.”

I kept glaring at Travis. “Just because I’m in love with her doesn’t mean jack shit. I can’t be with her and neither can any of you assholes.”
