Mav whispered so her eyes, but she nodded then gave hi scare her,” Steph warned, jabbing her finger in Rocket’s face “You look like you’re about to rip the heads off a bunch of puppies”

Scare her Shit, there was only one person scared and it was him Terrified she’d order him out of her life forever Not that he’d listen Noaway from her until Esposito had been dealt with and Chloe reclaimed her life Even if today set her back Now that he knehat her skin felt like against his, what she tasted like, and how her face glohen she came, his obsession with Chloe had morphed into a full-on addiction One he couldn’t walk away from

“You gonna stand in my way too?” Rocket asked Mav who now stood in Steph’s place, ars spread

Lifting his hands in surrender, Mav shook his head “I ain’t looking to get a bullet betweento et that Have at her” He stepped away from the closed door “Be warned, if you upset Chloe, Steph will probably recruit Izzy to go for your balls My woman’s like a mother hen around that one” He inclined his head toward the closed door

“Why?”

“Leftover from my days as a Marine I had a knack eapons Explosives especially” He shrugged The name hadn’t been his choice, but the club liked it, so it stuck

She huffed out a bitter laugh “So that much was true? You really were in the Marines?”
