Chapter Thirteen

Kick

"You handled that well," Bellamy said to Bryce as he watched the elevator doors close with Evie behind them. He wanted to go to her, but first, he had to deal with her brother, a pissed off brother who looked like he wanted to beat the living shit out of him. "Listen, can we go somewhere and–"

"I'm not going anywhere with you, you bastard. You stay away from my sister."

"I believe she can make her own decisions," he shot back. No one was telling him what to do or who to see even if Bryce was only looking after his sister. If he were in Bryce's place, he'd warn someone like himself away from his sister too. He wasn't exactly a perfect choice. He was a man with a drug habit and no history of ever having a long-term relationship. Yeah, he was every mama's nightmare, someone she would warn her daughters not to mess around with. Even so, Bryce had no right to belittle Evie the way he had. It was uncalled for.

"I'm making the decision for her," Bryce snarled. "Stay away," he warned again and took a bite of his donut as if he were chewing on rawhide. Then he turned to walk away.

Probably a good thing, if Bellamy allowed him to. Probably should let Bryce cool off so they could really have a man-to-man talk. Probably went right out the door. "For the record," he said evenly, "Emerson is beautiful and sexy and–" He should have seen it coming, but didn't until Bryce's fist plowed into his jaw and he staggered back in surprise. Coffee had been splattered everywhere when Bryce had tossed it to the wayside, and the chocolate donut with sprinkles was smashed inside the guy's hand, bits of the cake and frosting oozing in between his fingers.

The band was still gawking at them from the entrance of the dining room like they were watching a live soap opera unfolding. Leon and Maury came to the rescue. Maury took hold of Bryce and led him away, while Leon inspected his face, for damage, he supposed. His ego was a little bruised. His jaw felt like it was still attached to the rest of his face, so he figured he would be okay.

"What were you thinking?" Leon asked. "Sleeping with Bryce's sister for God's sake."

"What is it with you guys? You all conspired behind my back and hired her. I didn't bring her onboard. And for your information, I'm not blind." He tapped his head. "She's smart and pretty and…and I like her. Dammit, I like her. What the hell did you think was going to happen?" He shoved Leon's hand away. "Fuck this. Fuck all of you." He lifted his hands and gave them all the bird, just in case they hadn't heard him.

Of all the blessed things to go wrong this morning, the reporter who'd pushed his way into the room yesterday, in the guise of a hotel employee, stepped into view with his camera.
