“My friend was really excited she got invited to fight night Like an idiot, I tried to talk her out of coive her a ride Only she took off before I got here and now I’oo and was scared half out of ht”

He tilted his head to the side a little bit and just stared atat all to do with being in the Point after dark, or feeling like I was being followed

“I can make it better”

Kill ue to keep fro out loud

“Aren’t you working?”

The dimple made an appearance and I felt my breath catch in my throat

“One of the guys as fighting went in the Pit injured It was pretty brutal to watch, but he so shot,night, not a payout night I didup”

His world was so different fro I had ever known, and I hated to aderous—just like him

“I should go home” My voice was strained toif I tried

“There are always other things we should be doing Come back to my place with me, Brysen”

It wasn’t a question, it was almost an order It shouldn’t sound as hot as it did

“I don’t really think that’s a great idea Besides, we haven’t even touched on the fact that I do officially have a stalker”

He took a step even closer and the finger he had used to rub my cheek he now used to push some of my hair back behind my ear It was probably the most kind, most reverent touch I had felt fro fro man hit me in all of my warm and squishy places

“You have a stalker until I can get ht be a bad idea, but it’s a bad idea that is going to happen one way or another, so fighting it seey I can sure as hell put to better use Let ht, Brysen I proret it”
