Put your tongue back in your mouth

Horny Bastard :

Come do it for me

Goddammit, I really wanted to. With my?—

“Hey!”

The sharp shout had me jerking my head up and looking around, and then the guy that Jared had stopped to talk to—who looked really pissed off—started walking toward me.

Very aggressively.

He said something to Jared, who looked confused, but when Jared saw me, recognition flashed through his eyes and his expression hardened.

He followed after the guy, and honestly, I should’ve run away right then and there.

I should’ve.

But I stayed where I was, quickly hit the record button on my phone, and slid it back into my pocket. It kept buzzing with incoming texts from Dakota, and as much as I itched to read them, there were two enormous guys approaching me with angry expressions.

They looked like they wanted to fight.

Well I wanted to fight, too.

Except…I’d promised Dakota I wasn’t going to fly off the handle and fight anymore.

I intended to keep that promise.

But if someone else started it first, was it okay to defend myself? Damn it, we hadn’t discussed extenuating circumstances.

Did he not want me to use violence no matter what? Yeah, probably.

Okay.

Fine.

I’d just let myself get beat to a pulp, which is what was looking like would happen.

Then he’d pamper me like a princess again, as he put it.

Jared pulled the other guy to a halt right in front of me. “Daniel, don’t?—”

“Where’s your boyfriend?” said the guy whose name was Daniel, apparently.

My boyfriend? Dakota?

I liked the sound of that, but not from this ugly fucker’s mouth.

I tilted my head and scrunched my brows together in faux confusion. “Who’s my boyfriend?” I let my eyes drift down his body in an unimpressed once-over. “It would definitely never be you.”

The ugly guy growled and grabbed for me, but I darted out of reach.

“Daniel, let’s just—” Jared tried to grab his arm, but he shook him off.

“No, that’s him,” he said. “That’s the one who tried to bite my fucking ear off at that party!”

Oh.
