Chapter Fourteen

Harper and that douchebag had gone off to the restaurant side of the bar, so Noah couldn’t even spy on them. He couldn’t get his mind off her and what she might do with that loser the whole time he was catching up with Spencer. Which he felt badly about—Spencer was a nice guy.

“This is the chick you dated real seriously way back when?”

“Yeah, we did. But things became complicated.”

“Too bad for you. She’s a hot piece of ass. I’d do her.”

Dagger to the heart. Even nice guys were after Harper. Shit. This was not good. He leaves her to fend for herself in the world, and now the entire male species is getting in line to fuck her?

“Uh, if you’ll excuse me for a minute.” Noah needed to splash some water on his face. This night was going from bad to super bad. All he wanted was to go home. With Harper. For a command performance. Preferably minus the drama.

He turned down the hallway toward the men’s room when he noticed the twerp standing back behind a potted palm tree. He appeared to be on the phone.

“Listen, babe, I swear, I’ll be back home tomorrow afternoon. I promise we can spend the entire day together in bed. Just you and me. Okay? I love you.”

Noah blanched. This fucker was two-timing his girl? Who wasn’t actually his girl? But needed to be. Or more like he wanted her to be. But she wanted to be Danny’s girl. That sounded like a pop song from the eighties, didn’t it? Ugh. This had officially become more complicated. He wanted to run out and tell Harper right away, but he knew she’d never believe him. She’d accuse Noah of making shit up. Worse still, she might suggest he was trying to hurt her even more. The thought she’d even accuse him of that made his throat tighten. Not that she had. But she probably would. And she had every reason to, considering how he’d treated her. Oh, man. Poor Harper. How the hell was he going to handle this? It was going to require finesse and nuance. Two qualities he knew he could muster up if need be.

But shit. What if Harper was planning to go home with this guy again? That would be disastrous. He needed to do something to stop her from making a huge mistake.

He circled around the back end of the bar and found the quiet, intimate dining area. Harper was scrolling through Instagram when he came up behind her.

“Listen, Harper—”

“Ack!” She jumped, throwing her hands up and hitting Noah hard in the face. “You scared me!”

Noah reached for his smarting nose and quickly realized it had started to bleed.

“Wow, you’ve got a good left hook.”

Harper turned around and stood up. “Oh, no! I gave you a nosebleed!”

“You punched me, Harper Landry! I bet it felt good!” He reached over and grabbed the napkin from her lap and pressed it to his nose to staunch the flow of blood.
