When we (finally) finish up with Sway it is almost five Axel’s truck is still in the front, so Dee and I walk over to the office The front reception area is done in black and gray There is a reception desk in the o in the center of the wall behind it in large block letters The office is simple but professional I smile at Emmy, the secretary, and ask if Axel is busy

"Not at all, or at least he wasn’t a second ago He’s been itching for you to finish up next door but, between you and uy to come check"

I like E to Axel he wouldn’t be able to run this place without her She is around twenty five with long blonde hair, light brown eyes and a face full of freckles She is the perfect iirl next door I can’t help but notice, every tiuys are around that she is silent but her eyes, they are always following Maddox around

"Do you o on back?" I ask

"Go on ahead Beck and Coop are around here soo" I can’t help but sirl has it bad for Maddox

"I’ here" Dee says I look over at her and she is expressionless and the walls are up There is definitely so to do with Beck

"Alright, be right back"

I walk down the long hallway in search for Axel Passing themy destination, I can’t help but smile at how successful Axel has becoreatness

Loud and very infuriated tones reachme to pause

"What the fuck do you mean you can’t find the motherfucker?" He says in a low and lethal tone One that means he has lost all patience Uh oh

Silence "He what?" Silence "Fuck! No, I don’t want you to sit there and play with yourself, dumbass Find him I want to knohere that bastard is" So before he finally slaer before pushing open his door with a soft knock

His enraged gaze hits me and the tension is so thick I can’t help but take a step back into the hallway I let out a s behindfurther in the hall Coop’s normally playful eyes are hard and deteruy I was used to

"Everything okay?" I question

The guys share a pointed look before Axel answers me and when I look back over at him he has carefully masked his fury

"Yeah, Princess Get over here and Coop?" He looks overhands off ets all possessive

Coop laughs and scoops rowl in warning froht, jackass?" Beck asks with a smirk

Ar out of the ordinary

"Back holster, hanging behind the chair My guess is he has at least five knives on hiht now and an ankle holster" Coop whispers when he notices my unspoken question

"Three and no ankle holster today" Axel says with an evil glint to his eyes

Oh boy

"Right, well if you two are done pissing all over the floor, are you ready to go? Dee is in the lobby and we’re ready whenever you are" I walk over and offer hi ouldn’t get to dinner for a long while

"Let me finish up in here I need to brief these two idiots and then we can leave Go ith Dee in the lobby" I can tell heto weigh the air again with his teht baby" With one more kiss, I leave the office and shut the door behind me

I brush off his mood and continue down the hall I know they don’t handle ss here and most likely whatever has him heated up is just a normal kink in their day to day operations

With a smile, I walk back into the lobby and sit with Dee and Emmy Before I know it, we are in a heated debate on the pros and cons of sexting I make a mental note to send Axel some fun pictures the next time he comes into the office

Heavy’s is packed by the tiht for theot here before us and held a table We had talked E us and by the ti loud and rowdy

We are sitting in the back corner, all eight of us squished around a s every surface We have been laughing and having a good time for the last two hours Once dinner is over, Axel pulls hty things he plans to do toto pay attention to the friends around us but the only things I can think of is getting back to the house

"What the fuck?" I hear Dee gasp over the rockher sudden change ofacross the roo the newest pitchers of beer Coop is flirting with the bartender but Beck currently has his tongue shoved down the ular and downright trash This wasn’t norure out this was about getting under Dee’s skin

"That stupid little fucker I hope his dick rots off" She yells in hter before I elbow hi Dee Now that the alcohol has loosened her up, I can see under the anger there is hurt So had happened between her and Beck

Before I can openon she was on her feet and across the bar

"Uh oh, looks like dra yells across the table from his corner next to Maddox and Emmy Emmy, who is wide eyed and a little intiroup "What’s her issue, Iz?" He asks

"No clue She wouldn’t talk about it I thought they had been spending tiether?"

"Not since last weekend I don’t know the details but he showed up at ht"

We all watch as Dee walks up to the bar and grabs the Heavy Slut by the roots of her badly dyed blonde hair, pulling her from Beck’s hold I can’t hear the words but her face looks horrible I don’t think I have ever seen hatred like that co from my little ball of joy
