he was the guy, but I just did. The way he was looking at Lor from across the room. That asshole couldn’t take his eyes off of her. I stopped dead in my tracks. He was walking toward her. What the hell was he going to do? An even better question was what was Lor going to do when he got to her? I was stunned. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. He just had this fucking air about him, like he was a god or something.
Stupid bastard was ruining my future. I watched as he got to the table and leaned down to whisper something in her ear. Lor didn’t move. I could see her body tense. She turned around and said something to him. Then he said something to her before he grabbed her and pulled her up toward him. She didn’t fucking stop him. Maybe she really did have feelings for this asshole.
And then it happened - he kissed her. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. How could she let him do that to her? He was pushing her toward the bathroom, kissing her hard. I wanted to kill him. I had never felt that way before, unless you count the time when I almost killed Ratz for what he did to Stacy.
I had to do something, but what? I decided to follow them to the bathroom. I got there just as the door slammed shut and I heard the lock twist. I was losing everything, and it was all my fault. Killing the fucking cowboy wasn’t going to change what I had done. I lied to the woman I loved and that lie was gonna cost me my future.
I had to know. I had to know if he was touching her. I had to know if he was screwing her in the bathroom. I stood at the door and listened. I could hear her moaning. Those moans were meant for me, not that bastard. I was sick. I could feel the color drain out of my face. I wanted to go through the fucking door, but instead I just slammed my fist into the wall. I kept listening and finally I heard her speak.
“I don’t know what’s happening here, but I love him Cade. I can’t be with you. Please just stay away from me. If you care about me at all, you will stay away.”
Thank god. She loved me. She pushed him away. She made him stop. She was mine. But that didn’t change the way I was feeling about that fucking cowboy. He needed to stay the hell away from her. She was not his. He had used her for sex, and he was trying to do that again tonight. The fucking cowboy and I were going to have a little “come to Jesus” meeting.
When he walked out of the bathroom, I saw the look on his face. He knew he had lost her. But that didn’t matter to me. I needed to explain the situation to him. I walked up behind him as he entered the stairwell. I caught him off guard. This bastard was big, but I had always been strong. I pushed him up against the wall and slammed my elbow across the back of his neck.
“I know what you did to her, cowboy. And I heard what she just said to you. You stay the fuck away from her.” I slammed my entire body up against his back. “Because if you don’t, I will kill your ass. That’s a fucking promise, cowboy.”
He didn’t fight back. Fucking pansy. I should’ve known he would be spineless. Anybody who takes advantage of a woman who was obviously going through something, is an asshole.
I had to get the hell out of there. I couldn’t see that bastard again. I needed a drink. I made it halfway to the bar when a little blonde waitress slipped around one of the tables and slammed right into me. Her whole tray of drinks spilled down the front of my shirt.
“Oh no! I am so, so sorry, Sir. Please let me help.” She tried to clean my shirt off, but it wasn’t gonna help.
“It’s really fine,” I said. I decided to head up to our room. Thank God Lor had given me the key to hold on to. That would give me some time to calm down. I would just go upstairs and change my clothes. Then maybe I could pretend that I hadn’t seen what
