“There’s not much I can do about Tessa right now, because shewon’t show her fucking face. I found out earlier the fingerprints we pulled last night were Tessa’s. I’ve got a warrant out for her arrest. As far as who she has helping her, I have no damn clue. It’s obviously a man, but neither Mia nor I know of anyone who would want to hurt her.”
Jaxon turns and picks up the bottle of whiskey sitting on his desk and opens the lid. He tips it back and takes a healthy swig before launching it at the wall.
“Fuck!”
“Yeah, I feel the same way. Until she makes another move or shows herself, there’s nothing we can do.”
“And there’s no telling what her next move could be or how damaging it will be,” Jaxon finishes for me.
“Exactly. That’s why I want men on her at all times. She hates it but agreed to have someone with her anywhere she goes.”
Jaxon nods, looking off into space. He turns back toward me and says, “Keep me posted on everything that happens.”
I nod.
His eyes turn cold as he looks at me for a few minutes before he speaks. “I understand what happened between you both was not your fault. What that bitch did was beyond fucked, and I know it hurt you both. But, let me tell you right now, Mac, if you ever hurt my sister again, whether it’s intentional or not, I’ll fucking kill you. Understand?”
His tone rings truthful, and I have no doubt that Jaxon will follow through with his threat. Right now, I’m not the Sheriff of Jaded Hollow, but the man who hurt his sister. Even though we’re best friends, Jaxon would move heaven and earth to keep his family safe from harm, whether it be physical or emotional. I have nothing but respect for him and his protectiveness. I would do nothing less for my family.
“Understood.”
I leave a few minutes later and walk down the hallway. I make a pit stop in the bathrooms to see the damage to my face. It could be a lot worse, but Mia’s still going to be pissed. I walk outof the bathroom in search of Mia. I may as well get it over with now.
When I reach the end of the hallway, I come to a stop. Mia and Chris are on the dance floor swaying their hips to the beat of the music. The bar is a lot quieter and emptier than when I went to Jaxon’s office.
Mia and Chris both have their backs to me. I’m mesmerized as I watch Mia gently move to the soft music. Her moves are graceful as she dips and sways. She lifts her hands and runs them up her waist and then into the air above her head. Her head moves back and forth slowly. I wish so hard I could see her face. I know that she would have her eyes closed, taking in the music, and just letting her body take control.
I look around at the few other patrons on the dance floor to make sure everyone has their eyes where they should be and not on Mia. I’m satisfied that everyone is in his or her own little worlds and not focused on Mia, I relax.
My body tightens, and a rush of desire hits me full force. I leave the hallway and stalk over to her. Neither of them hear me come up behind Mia until I have my arms wrapped around her. Her body jolts, but then instantly relaxes against mine, as if she knows it’s me.
Chris looks over at me, and she smiles. It takes her a minute to see my battered face through the light, but when she does, her eyes go wide and she opens her mouth to speak. I quiet her with a shake of my head. She bites her lip, her expression shows her concern, and I can tell she’s fighting with herself on whether or not to say something to Mia. She finally makes her decision, and I’m grateful for it. She turns and leaves Mia and me on the dance floor.
I grip Mia’s hips and fit hers to mine and start swaying with her. Having her rub her ass against my hard cock is killing me, but that doesn’t stop me. I need to feel her. Mia reaches around with her arms and wraps them around my neck, her nails skimming through my hair.
I run my nose along her slender neck and breathe in her sweet scent. I feel the vibration of Mia’s moan, and I moan as well. My dick hardens even further, and I grind it into her ass. I lick my way up her neck until I reach her ear.
“Do you have any idea how much I want to bend you over right now and fuck you in front of everyone?” I ask her.
She sucks in a breath and whimpers out her reply. “Probably as much as I want you to bend me over and slide your cock in me.”
“Fuck, baby,” I groan in her neck.
She releases my hair only to bring her hands down and around and grab my ass. Our hips still move to the music as we grind against each other. My lips lock on to her neck, and she arches her back and leans her head to the side, ensuring I can reach her neck better.
I release my hold on her waist and bring my arms up her sides. When one of my hands reaches her hair, I give it a tug until her head is tipped back so I can claim her lips. They are soft and sweet, tasting just like Mia. Our tongues dance together, just like the rest of our bodies.
All too soon, the music stops and we break apart. I want to growl at the damn jukebox for its bad timing. Mia lets go of my ass and turns in my arms, getting her first glimpse of my face.
“What the hell happened, Mac?” she asks, shock and anger evident in her tone.
“Jaxon knows, Mia,” I say, just loud enough for her to hear. Another song has already started, but we just stand there, not dancing anymore.
“He knows…” Her brows pull together in concentration, trying to figure out what I’m talking about. Her eyes go wide when she figures it out.
“Mac, please tell me you didn’t…”
“I did, Pix.” I speak over her. “He needed to know, especially with everything that’s going on. There was no way to avoid it.”
