CHAPTER 16

Travis

My hand froze, my whiskey glass halfway to my mouth. A few minutes ago, I’d seen the leader of the douches scoot in next to Scarlett, leering at her. Seeing how disgusted she looked, I shrugged off my jealousy and found my hands clenching.

My heart pounding, I tried to calm down, fearing I would crack the whiskey glass. I took a measured gulp and then I drained the whole glass.

“Would you like another, sir?” the barman said, appearing at my side. I looked at him, my eyes burning with poorly controlled anger, a visage of rage combined with years of suppressed emotion rising to the surface.

He stepped back with fear in his eyes, fleeing straight for the other end of the bar.

I looked back at the group, my tunnel vision setting in. I froze for a while, waiting for an excuse to approach the men.

A long minute later, the other girls rose, with Scarlett rushing off to the bathroom looking pissed. Lonette and Raven hurried after her, looking equally annoyed, but I could tell their frustration was with Scarlett, not the guys.

I looked back at the guys. The leader had a bottle of champagne in his hands, laughing. He then began rummaging around in his right pocket. Looking around, the others leaned over in attempts to obscure what he was doing, but I still saw.

He’d put something into Scarlett’s glass before filling it up with champagne that fizzed a little too vigorously.

I was on my feet in an instant, striding across the restaurant toward their table, reaching it in mere seconds. My cold stare was fixed solely on the leader with his stupid V-neck t-shirt.

He looked up at me and grinned. “We’re okay. Thanks, waiter. Just got some champagne, see?” He gave a patronizing smile and waved the half-full bottle at me. “You can go away now.”

I leaned over the table, smashing the bottle out of his grip with one strong backhanded slap of my left hand. The bottle flew toward his friend, breaking on his chest. Sharp glass shattered everywhere, and the guys shouted.

I swung on my hips, sending a vicious right backhanded punch that connected with the side of his face without even taking my eyes from the ringleader who’d spiked Scarlett’s drink.

The guy I’d hit flew backwards through the air, landing at Scarlett’s feet. She stood there, shocked. But I couldn’t concern myself with that right now.

“As for you, you piece of fucking shit!” I said, leaning across the table to the ringleader. “You’re dead!”

I grabbed him by the neck, my muscles bulging as I dragged him across the table and punched him savagely in the gut, knocking all the air out of him.

Scarlett was next to me all of a sudden, her hand on my arm.

“Travis,” she said, softly. I looked down at her as she held onto my arm, which I’d drawn back for another brutal punch. But as soon as I saw her face, my rage lifted.

Realizing I was still holding the guy by his neck, I dropped him to the floor, where he began coughing and sputtering, gasping for breath.
