Kenzie was visibly shaken, licking her lips as her eyes twitched. Her lips quivered and her mouth opened and closed as if she was going to answer and then decided not to. T got her exactly where he wanted her. She'd make the call to Taylor.
“Bitch, I got no patience.”
“Okay,” she muttered, so low he barely heard her but he read her lips. She swallowed and slowly moved forward, rising from her chair.
What the hell was she doing?Was she seriously going to give herself up instead of her friend? Bogs looked over at T. His face remained a stone mask but Bogs knew his brother was thinking the same as him.What the fuck?
“You can take me back to the club.”
Bogs could feel his mouth fall open in shock. She was really going to give herself up over Taylor. Either, she had no idea what kind of man Dante was, or she had a death wish. Whatever her reason, Bogs felt the anger rise inside him. She was willing to put herself in danger for a friend and situation that had nothing to do with her. His fury was set on Taylor. What kind of shit person put a girl like Kenzie, someone who had her back, in this spot?
“You’re fucking kidding me, right?” T shouted.
Kenzie froze. She looked over at Bogs and seemed to cower back into her seat. He knew what she was seeing. Rage. It may not be directed at her but he wasn’t masking his anger.
T released a nasty laugh. “I thought the other one was fucking stupid but you got her beat. You have to be the dumbest fucking bitch I’ve ever set eyes on. You want to go back to Dante?” He snorted. “Fine, get up. I’ll take you back. Hope you like it rough.”
Bogs knew what T was doing and knew it was necessary but the fear in Kenzie’s eyes was hitting him hard. He stepped forward and T jerked his head. He was warning him to back off. Bogs wasn’t listening. He could feel her stare locked on him as he came around the table virtually blocking her in.
“I don’t have a choice,” she whispered.
“Stupid twat, I just gave you one.” T’s words were not only harsh but nasty. Bogs had the feeling she was not used to being talked to that way. Although, Bogs knew it was for show, his rising temper was now aimed at T.
Kenzie tightened her mouth and shook her head. She wasn’t giving in.
T reached for her wrist and jerked her forward as she tried to scramble back into her seat. Bogs didn’t even think. He rushed forward, around the desk, and pushed T back away from Kenzie.
“Back off, man.” Bogs pushed his hands against T’s chest making him step back and thankfully, release her wrist. It was a risky move had T not let go.
“Bogs.” He seethed. “What did I fucking tell you?”
“Not this way.”
“Move.”
“T.” Bogs gave his own warning. He almost didn’t feel her behind him until his shirt was tugged at his waist, then he felt her presence. He glanced down to see the sides of his shirtbunched in her fists. If he took a step back, he would have trampled her.
The room instantly filled with the guys. He could imagine what they were seeing and from their confused looks, it was obvious. He stood, facing off with T with Kenzie hiding behind him.
“What’s going on?”
“Bogs is thinking with the wrong head,” T said.
“Fuck you, man. Not this way.”
T smirked cruelly. “Fucking weak man. Stick to computers.” T was goading him. Usually, Bogs would make a smart comeback and it would be done. He was about to let it go when he heard T mutter, “All for a piece of ass.”
That set him off. Bogs lunged forward, shoving T’s back sending him stumbling into Stone, who looked surprised. Declan rushed forward setting himself between T and Bogs as he looked over his shoulder.
Declan pushed on Bogs’ chest and held his hand out restraining T from coming forward.
“Motherfucker,” T spewed as he moved forward. Beyond the anger, he saw in his face, there was something else. A mocking tilt of his lips. T shook his head. “Gonna fight me over pussy, really, brother?”
Bogs smirked in challenge. “Come at me and find out, asshole.”
“Oh God.” Kenzie’s trembling whisper had him sobering up to the scene playing out in front of her. Bogs could feel her at his back. She must have moved closer. He reached down, keeping his eyes on T and covered her hands with his. It was meant to calm her. He didn’t know if it was working.
“What’s going on?” Stone asked.
