Chapter Twelve

CARSON

I couldn't sit there when all I wanted to do was get rid of Cathy and get those clothes off Penny. I put Rascal in the backyard and shot off a message to the guys in our group chat.

Me: Heading to Hooligan's

I didn't need to remind them it was ladies' night. Every single guy in a fifty-mile radius knew, and no way in hell was I going to let some douche like Wes Winters take advantage of my Penny. My Penny? I had never felt so protective of Kara and she had been my frickin' fiancée. Kara could take care of herself, I reasoned. Not that Penny couldn't, but she was different—worldly, yet naive at the same time. Hell, she’d just experienced her first trip to the home improvement store. I’d wanted to murder that scumbag who looked like he wanted to make a move on her in the appliance aisle, but she’d quickly put him in his place. Tonight was different, though; alcohol would be in the mix and I needed to make sure she was safe. Keep telling yourself that.

I was tempted to report them for being over occupancy to shut that shit down before it got started. But then I remembered Penny's face when she tried my shake the other night, and I realized I wanted to see her experience new things. From what I’d gathered, going out with a bunch of girls and cutting loose was new to her too. She deserved to have some fun. It didn't mean I couldn't be nearby to make sure she was safe.

"Holy shit," Collins blurted out as he gawked at the entrance of the crowded hangout. I turned to see what Collins was staring at. Sweet baby Jesus! And I thought the naughty librarian look she was wearing before had been hot. She was wearing jeans with strategically placed rips and had just shrugged out of a black leather jacket. Her thick brown hair curled in soft waves past her shoulders. As she threw her head back in a hoot at something Cathy said, her bare shoulders and plunging neckline were revealed. I slammed my bottle down so hard on the table, I was surprised it didn't shatter into a million pieces. She didn't have a fucking bra on! I was off my barstool in a half second.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I yelled over the noise of the bar. Penny stood next to Cathy and Desi, the local pet groomer, as they waited at the bar for their drinks. The men were already circling and they had only been here for a few minutes.

"Waiting for my Lady's Bluff," she answered without acknowledging the anger that I knew radiated off me as I wedged my body between her and the closest prick. Not going to happen, buddy, I told him with a look over my shoulder, and he quickly moved away. Cathy and Desi laughed as they handed Penny two martini glasses. Nothing about this was funny.
