Wow, that kiss still has me reeling as I head back to my room.

I can still feel his lips on mine, still taste him.

I put my fingers up to my lips, smiling.

I’m at my room when I am grabbed and spun around, shoved into the wall, my arm wrenched behind my back, only to see a very angry Pyro.

“What the hell was that about back in the office?” He is squeezing my arm so tight that I am losing feeling in it. I’m too shocked to fight back.

“What are you talking about, Pyro? And can you let up on your grip? You’re hurting me.” He looks down at my arm but doesn’t loosen up any.

“I’m talking about you letting that asshole kiss you back there. You know that he’s just playing with you, right? He’s out in the bar messing around with the whores now as we speak. Cotton could care less about you. He doesn’t love you like I do!”

I look up at Pyro. He seems out of control right now, and I have to try to diffuse this.

“Look, Pyro, it was just a kiss. It didn’t mean anything.

And honestly, I don’t care what he is doing with whom.

I’m single, he isn’t my boyfriend, neither are you.

You are my friend, that’s it. I’m not dating right now, nor do I want to be.

That’s why I asked you to the club as a friend.

Now you need to let go of my arm and get out of my face. ”

Before I know what he is doing, he slaps me.

“You are not single! I have claimed you as mine! So, don’t try to act all coy with me.

And you just try going out without me, see what happens!

” He tries to kiss me, but I turn my head, his lips hitting my cheek.

He slaps me again, letting me go with a shove, my head hitting the wall.

He starts to walk away when we hear footsteps coming down the hall.

I look up to see Tires. He sees the handprint on the side of my face.

“Sis, who the hell hit you?” he asks me.

Pyro looks at him, answering before I can get a word out. “One of the club whores. I believe it was Alivia. They were arguing when I came down the hall and ran her off. ”

My brother looks at me then back to Pyro, “Hey man, Lynch is looking for you, that’s why I headed down this way. He’s at the bar. Said not to keep him waiting.”

“Yeah okay.” He walks off after giving me a warning glance. I stand ramrod straight until he is out of sight then lean into Tires. “So why did Alivia hit you? I thought you were friends.”

I look up at him, “She didn’t. Look at my arm.” You can see where Pyro had a hold of my arm, it’s red.

“Who the hell did this?”

“Pyro did. He caught me unaware, started screaming at me, saying that he has claimed me in front of the whole club, that I should watch and see what happens if I refuse him, or go out without him. He’s a basket case!

I’ve never seen him like this before. His eyes look so weird. I was actually scared of him.”

Tires hugs me to him. “I’ll get this taken care of, sis. He won’t bother you anymore. If he ever lays a hand on you again, he’s dead!” I look up at him. He’s always been protective of me, but to threaten to kill someone, that’s a first.

“Coop, I just want to go take a shower and go to bed. I don’t want you to kill anyone, prison orange isn’t your color.

I love you, thank you for being the best big brother anyone could ever ask for.

” He just smiles. I kiss his cheek, then go into my room.

I lock the door behind me, grab some pjs, then head for the shower.

I need to find out what is going on with Pyro, see if I can get him some help.

He sure isn’t the same guy we grew up with.
