“What do you want?” I growl when I see Collin step into the room.

“I’ve come to get my girl. You’ve fulfilled your part in this deal. Now you can go away and give me back my girl.” He goes to pick her up, and I let out a low, savage snarl.

“Fucking touch her, fucking move her away from me right now, Jones, and I’ll kill you.” He pauses, and I can tell by the look on his face, he thinks I just might.

“Fine,” he growls back. “But I’m not leaving. I need her.”

“For fuck’s sake,” I mutter as he strips down to nothing but his boxers and slides into the bed on Sadie’s other side.

“So, am I welcoming you as a fellow competitor too?” he asks.

“Damn fucking right.” Because I plan on fighting for Sadie and I don’t plan on losing. She will be mine one way or another, and I’ll stop at nothing until she is.

Chapter 27

Sadie

Iget the feeling someoneis watching me, so I blink my eyes open. They widen and I jolt back when I come face to face with Collin. “What are you doing here?” I ask, voice cracking from sleep.

Rubbing my eyes, I look around and see that I’m still at the club.

“Grayson wouldn’t let me take you after you two were done, so I stayed,” Collin whispers, reaching over to brush some hair from my face.

“Take me?” I narrow my eyes. “Were you going to pull another kidnapping stunt?”

He chuckles and leans forward to kiss my forehead. “Clearly not. You're still here.”

“But why are you?” I move to sit up, looking over to see Grayson is still asleep beside me.

“Because I missed you.”

I look back over to Collin, my heart warming at his words. This man is crazy. Mostly about me, but he's oddly sweet and very sexy. I still have no idea why he’s so set on being with me, but the way he’s looking at me, damn.

“You saw me the other day, and don’t think I didn’t notice you following me around school.” I pull the blanket up to cover my naked chest.

Collin looks down at the fabric like it offends him before looking back up to me. “Hang out with me tonight.”
