I winced because I knew of the fight he was talking about.
He had hit his opponent on the side of the head in the wrong location, and everyone thought he had died.
Thankfully, he hadn’t.
But seeing Bronson’s face, I knew he didn’t want to talk about it; therefore, I changed the subject.
“I know. Cole looks just like you from the pictures you posted on Insta, and Madalyn, hope you're ready.”
He growled playfully.
“Care to tell the rest of the group how the two of you know each other?” Talia asked from her seat.
That was when I felt every eye in the place on the two of us.
But I focused on the women at the table and saw that they were all wearing narrowed looks.
And for some reason, that made me feel small.
Smaller than I have in a really long time.
Because Harlee was looking at me with worry in her gaze.
Talia was looking at me with anger in her gaze.
Everly was biting her bottom lip.
Tatum was also looking between me and one other woman.
Lila’s eyes were downcast.
Well. Shit.
And before I could explain anything, I felt the air shift, and then in the next second, a pair of arms wrapped around my waist, and I tensed, until I smelled it.
Alec.
“Fancy seeing you here,” he said as he squeezed once and then let me go.
Talia glared at him, “Hi, Alec.” Then she looked at me and narrowed her eyes, “We don’t want women like you around us. The best thing you can do is leave.”
I felt Alec go stiff at my back, then he whispered, “What the fuck?”
Then loudly he said, “What the fuck, Talia?”
“Don’t you what the fuck me, Alec. She just jumped into Bronson’s arms like she knows exactly how it feels to have his cock inside of her, then you go and wrap her in your arms. Come on. I’m not stupid.”
“No. But your stupid for the scene you just made by jumping to conclusions about something you don’t know two fucks about,” Bronson gritted out.
I leaned up on my tiptoes and pressed a kiss on Alec’s cheek and whispered, “Thanks.”
Alec didn’t react but kept glaring at Talia.
Then I did the same thing to Bronson.
But he twisted his neck and said, “Give me your phone.”
I nodded, then handed him my phone.
