“You need to teach your boy some manners,” she said, pointing at Max.

He smirked.

“What did you do?” I demanded.

“Nothing you don’t want to do with her,” he said, puffing out his chest.

I stepped forward, pressing mine against his. He stood a few inches taller than me, but I wasn’t afraid of fighting him in the least. Brain won over brawn all the time.

“What the fuck did you to do her?”

“Nothing happened,” Jade said, grabbing my arm with both her hands.

She pulled at me, but I didn’t budge, standing my ground.

“You like me, don’t you babe?”

Max patted her ass with his hand.

“Hey!” she said.

“That’s it you son of a bitch.”

I swung and punched him dead on the temple.

He growled and bent into a defe

nsive stance, his fists up.

“Knock it off you two,” Jade cried.

“She’s right.” I lowered my hands.

“Too late for that, punk.”

He lunged, hitting me with an uppercut to the jaw.

“Why are we fighting?” I asked, not wanting to get into it with him.

“Because you need to know who’s the alpha around here.”

I dodged out of the way as he swung again, missing completely.

He threw his arms up as I punched again, hitting his forearm.

“What the fuck, guys!” Logan yelled as he ran toward us.

“Max needs to get the fuck out of here and not come back.”

I kept my hands up as I bobbed up and down, waiting for him to take another crack at me.

Logan stepped in between us. Jade stood stoic looking pissed as hell.

“All of you need to leave,” she said.

I stared at Max, daring him to make a move.

He put his hands down, grinning like an idiot.
