A Fucking Delight

I never expected my stomach to twist at the sight of another man’s hands on Prim. But then again, I’d never felt anything like that before. The wrenching twist of envy and anger. Of possession and passion.

I spent the entire night watching her. Trying to figure out why I couldn’t stop. Why I didn’t take any of the offers to dance that came my way.

The truth was, I was scared of getting any closer to her on that dance floor. Of how I’d act, because keeping calm while watching another man look at her the way I’ve longed to didn’t sit well with me. Not when I knew there was a reason she was doing this.

And that reason could only be formed by one name—Poppy.

There was no doubt Prim felt for me what I felt for her. And I had half a mind to just pry her from Brian’s hands and steal her away so I could make sense of what was going on.

But that wasn’t how I reacted. I’d wait, in earnest, until it all came to light.

And when the night came to an end, and I left the bathroom intent on finding her so I could drive her home, that was when I realized Brian was just some sort of distraction.

It all happened so fast. The fear on Prim’s face as she tried to free herself from Brian’s grip. The way he kept touching her as if she were his. My jaw was clenched so tight it burned.

“Get Poppy, would you?” I shot at Fin as I hoisted Prim over my shoulder, carrying her toward the back of the club where I’d parked next to Fin’s ride.

Fin took off with a swift nod.

“Not until we’re outside. Besides, you’re drunk, and that guy wasn’t going to take no for an answer.”

I wouldn’t risk her taking off. Running into that jerk again. I needed to know she was safe and okay, and with the way she’d been tossing them back, I doubted she was able to get herself home safely.

“You didn’t have to hit him. And where are you taking me?” She wiggled furiously, but her small frame was no match for me. It was like carrying a sack full of feathers.

“To my car, and then to my place.”

I felt her stiffen. “Your place? So much better than being groped.”

I stopped. “And what’s that supposed to mean?”

“Who’s the blonde?”

My thoughts were desperately trying to keep up with her drunk rant. The blonde?

As if she could sense my confusion, she continued, “Tight shirt. Curls. Your arm wrapped around her. You two made the headlines. Congrats.”

Laughter shot deep from my chest. “I take it there was
