Carefully, I tilt her head back, then set the glass full of liquid between her lips. She lets out a moan as she holds it tight.

“Good girl,” I praise, then kneel between her legs. “I’m all yours. Show me what you’ve got.”

As she stands above me, I open my mouth. Sadie looks like she’s trying to concentrate as some of the liquid spills on my chin. Quickly, I adjust my position so another drop isn’t wasted. I grip the back of her thighs as she finishes, and I swallow. When she frees her mouth, I slowly stand and meet her eyes.

“Gotta admit, I’m usually the one on my knees,” she states, running her finger up my abs. “How’d I do?”

I grab a napkin from the table and wipe my face. “Makes me wonder what else that mouth can do.”

She comes close, giving me all the permission I need, and I dive in, bringing my lips to hers. When I pull away, Hadleigh catches my eye again. This time, she’s trying to push away a guy being way too fucking handsy.

“Sorry, ladies. Gonna have to ’scuse me,” I say, putting on my shirt and moving toward Hadleigh at the bar.

“You know you want it, sweetheart. Open those legs for me,” the prick has the nerve to say.

Fuck no.

“Get off her,” I shout, ready to beat this dude’s ass for being disrespectful.

“Knox!” she scolds. “Stop cheating!”

“What are you, her boyfriend?” he slurs with too much confidence. “She came onto me!”

“No, he’s not my boyfriend,” Hadleigh answers.

I turn my gaze to her. “He’s gettin’ too handsy. Game’s over.”

“Fuck you,” he spits.

I stand taller, ready to bash in his ugly mug, when Hadleigh pushes me back. “Let’s go, Knox. He’s not worth gettin’ arrested.”

She knows my history too damn well.

But that’s where she’s wrong. Sitting behind bars because of him would be worth every damn minute, especially if it meant he’d never get the chance to touch her again.

“You wanna fight, is that it?” The douche stands, but I have a good three inches on him.

Hadleigh squeezes my arm tighter, but I ignore it and step into him, daring him to punch me.

“Do it,” I push. I’ll let him get one hit before I pummel his ass to the ground.

“Knox, stop it!” Hadleigh hisses, wiggling her way between us. “Look at me.”

“Move, Hads.”

“Yeah, bitch. Move.”

I see red as I try to get Hadleigh out of the way, but she stands on her tiptoes and cups my face. The split-second distraction has me taking a step back and locking eyes with her. Before I can say anything, her mouth crashes on mine.
