SECOND RATE CHANCES

CHAPTER 16

Sam didn’t care how much noise he made as he peeled out of Lil’s driveway. He was pissed. So she had slept with Toby Grayson. He knew they weren’t together. Lil, along with everyone else made sure he understood that. It was one thing for his head to understand that, it was another to accept it.

He loved Lil. He knew he wanted to beat the shit out of Toby for looking at her the way he did. His eyes roaming over her body, taking in all of her curves through the clothes she had on to keep her warm. Toby didn’t have to use his imagination regarding what Lil looked like naked. He knew firsthand.

Sam sped through the streets, not sure where he was going until his car pulled into the parking lot of Rusty’s. He stepped out into the cold night, the air leaving his mouth like wisps of smoke.

The bell dinged as he entered but nostalgia wasn’t on Sam’s mind. Getting hammered and doing his best to erase the image of Toby making love to his girl was at the front.

Had it been making love? Did Toby hold her tight and whisper promises in her ear? Did he tell her that she was beautiful and worship her body like the goddess she was? That’s what Sam would have done. If Sam were given another chance to share a bed with Lil, he would tell her all of those things. He would make sure she knew how special she was.

Sam nodded to Rusty, who was behind the bar pouring drinks.

“Two nights in one week,” he mused with a smile. “Like old times for you boys.”

Sam didn’t return the man’s smile when he said, “What do you mean?”

Rusty nodded to the back of the bar. “Your boys are here again too.”

Sam looked over his shoulder and saw Kane and Abe sitting at the same table as Monday night.

“You like that beer the other night?” Rusty asked. Sam nodded. “Another coming up, but you’re paying for this one.”

Sam gave Rusty a half smile and waited for his drink. As he leaned his hip against the bar, his thoughts strayed from Lil and whatever kind of relationship she did or didn’t have with Toby to the last thing he said to her.

He knew he struck a nerve as soon as he defended Chloe. He was speaking in the heat of the moment. The argument had gotten the better of his judgment. She was pissed. He could see the fire dance in her eyes when she told him to get out.

Sam wasn’t sure what pissed him off more. The fact that Lil slept with someone that wasn’t him, even though apparently he had no room to be pissed because he was engaged, or the fact that in all the years he and Lil had been together, never did they let an argument push them away from one another. It made Sam wonder, what could he have done that made Lil
