“From the lady in the coral colored shirt.”
I laugh as I set the tip on her tray after paying her. I reach for the shot and smile at Mya as I take it.
My phone lights up after she takes her own shot.
Mya: Then I have a sea ofCuervoto wade through.
I know what she threatens. I want to haul her sweet ass up and out of this bar, and fuck her senseless against the wall.
Me: If that is what you want, some random dude to fuck you and never look back, then you aren’t who I thought you were.
Mya: I want you to fuck me.
I close my eyes and turn my phone over. I can’t respond and that becomes clearer as I watch a sea of millennial douchebags buy her drinks all night.
Last call comes and goes, and Lexington and Mya are both wasted. I watch as the guy that has been trying to get on Mya all night, starts touching her leg and leaning close. I have had enough. “Get Lex to the car. I got Mya,” I say to Cal, who looks like he might kill the dick before I can get there.
“We are leaving,” I say, and slide between the douchebag and my girl.
I mean Mya.
“Excuse me?” She slurs and smiles tilting her head to the side.
“Come on, killer,” I say and scoop her into my arms. The fool she was talking to grabs my arm to stop me.
“What the fuck, dude? Don’t be a cock blocker.”
I turn with Mya in my arms and want nothing more than this lousy piece of shit to feel my fist.
I set her at the table and watch as she hunches forward. I wonder if this is drunk or if the mother fucker gave her a roofie. “What did you feed her?” I ask, standing my full six foot three all muscle in front of him.
“Cuervo. That was all she wanted,” he says. He has no idea that theCuervowas an insult.
I figure that was enough damage to the guy even if he didn’t know it. I did. I go back and lift Mya into my arms, and carry her to my truck.
“One day, you gonna wan me, Shully,” she slurs from the cab of my truck.
She has no idea that I already do.
“You are drunk, Pet,” I say with a chuckle, and reach for the text from Cal with her address and punch it in my GPS.
“I been drunk afore. In Dee Cee. You wanted me tha night. Stupid dumb hymen scared ya.”
I laugh at that and look to see her legs are spread. Even in jeans she looks like a fucking Goddess. I pull her legs closed and she scoots close to me until she is at my side, and somehow tucked her legs on my lap. I have no choice, but to hold her or she will roll off the seat.
“One day, I would like to know what the fuck you see in me, Mya.”
I say it to myself because I assumed, she was asleep.
“I see you,” she says, then hiccups and smiles. “I know how amazing you are and sad…so sad, my Sul.”
Her words wreck me, and I want to fight her as much as I want to kiss her. I say and do nothing though, keeping my mask on no matter what.
Neither of us say anything the rest of the drive and she is out cold when we get to her house. I go through her purse and find her house key before I lift her and carry her inside.
I carry her back down a long hall that opens to a bedroom. I know it is hers because she doesn’t have a roommate. I set her on the bed and bend to remove her shoes. I riffle through her drawers, looking for anything she can wear to bed.
I see a ton of silky items, workout clothes, and leotards or whatever, and I am at a loss.
