“Royce, assholes What’s up?”

Asshole number one speaks first, “My dick if you’ll be around later tonight”

Before I have time to react and let the first tear well up, Royce kicks his chair, “get lost Jake And you don’t ever talk like that to Brandi again I will end you if you do,” he warns with a rowl

“Whatever man It was a joke Come on Brad” Asshole one and two leaves the restaurant

I want to be upset hat Jake said but the fact that Royce just stood up for me has me rendered speechless Brad and Jake are his followers I can’t believe he is choosing me over them “Have a seat babe, we need to talk”

I swoon hearing him call me babe I can’t help it The way he says it melts my insides

He reaches across the table and takes ht to touch uy who’s ever remotely cared for me other than my brother

“Are you serious about the cage girl stuff with Lucky 7?”

“Yeah why?”

“You need to be careful around Parker Garrett He’s not a good man”

“But you’re under contract with him?”

“I signed before I met you Back when I was still with Elizabeth”

“What’s wrong with Parker?”

“I don’t have tiht now, but proo, but we’ll talk more Saturday”

He doesn’t give me a chance to respond
