I watch on in amusement as she throws the bitch onto the floor and stands up. "You okay?" she asks Ava, who's smiling as she nods.

"Fucking prick," Andrew groans as he wakes up from his knockout.

"What's her problem?" Butch asks, not moving from his spot. The amusement clear to hear in his voice. "Why is she going after Callie?"

Andrew rises to his feet a little unsteadily. "Something about her daughter and how it's all her little bitch's fault."

The anger that flares in Callie's eyes is something to behold. Those blueish eyes of hers, almost silver with the rage. She slams her foot down onto Leeane's leg and it's followed by the sound of bone shattering.

Fucking hell.

"Now you’ll have to keep your legs closed. Bitch.” Callie snaps. “But let me make this clear. You even think of coming after her, Leeane and I swear to fucking God, what happened here tonight is child's play. Do I make myself clear?" she demands. Getting down onto her haunches once again, she leans in closer and whispers something to the fucking bitch lying on the floor. Whatever Callie says has Leeane tensing and nodding.

Callie gets to her feet. "It's time for you to leave, Andrew," she tells him, her eyes hard with hatred and anger. "Don't forget to bring your whore with you."

"Callie..." the man growls and I get to my feet.

My woman shakes her head. "Run, Andrew, because if you piss me off any more I'm finally going to let Stephen do what he's wanted to do the minute he saw you." She flashes him a grin as Stephen stands behind her.

"I'm not scared of him," he says shakily.

Stephen takes a step toward him and the fucker legs it, running out of the pub and leaving Leeane behind. Fucking pussy arse bastard.

Callie sighs. "Get rid of her," she says and then shakes her head. "I meant out of here, not forever," she clarifies as Stephen grins.

"You’re no fun, Callie girl," he grumbles as he reaches down and lifts a whimpering Leeane into his arms. "I'll leave her outside. She can find her own way home."

"With a broken leg?" Bernard asks, glancing around the pub and following Stephen outside, waving goodbye to Callie as he does.

"Well, at least she won't be stealing anyone else's man for a while," Jayne says with a grin. "Wait until I tell Nichola, your mam is going to be pissed she missed this. She's wanted to kill her since she tried it on with Eric a few years back."

Callie grimaces. "Ugh, that's something I didn't need to know." She glances around and sees that everyone's watching her. With a smile and a roll of her eyes, she walks over to the bar where Preston is and within seconds, music is playing and the chatter starts back up.

I walk over to her. "You okay?"

She sighs. "Not really. Remember earlier when Chloe told us that Mallory beat the shit out of the girl who had been bullying them?"

I nod, wondering where the hell this is going. "Jayne is Mallory's mam. Leeane is Marie's mam, the girl that's been bullying Chloe."

I grit my teeth. All of this because her daughter has been bullying mine.

"I have warned her if Marie goes anywhere near them again, I'll let Stephen at her."

The anger and determination in her voice has my dick hardening even more. "Fuck, I need to get you home."

She bites her lip. "Behave," she smiles.

"Baby, watching you smack the shit out of that bitch has me harder than stone."

She grins. "Give me ten minutes and we'll go. I need to grab a few things from my office."

I pull her against me and kiss her, not giving a fuck who's watching. "Go," she tells me breathlessly. "Sit with your family. I won't be long," she promises me.

"Okay, what the hell was that about and how did we not know Callie can take care of herself," Makenna asks, her lips curling at the ends.

"I have to say," Romero chuckles. "Watching her break that woman's jaw and then saying; 'Good luck using that mouth again, you fucking cunt' was the highlight."

The entire table erupts in laughter. I'm in no mood to smile, though. I'm too fucking worked up right now.
