Chapter Twenty Six ~ Saint

Lenny was gunning for Harlow. I caught him sizing her up a few times as everyone prepped for the second day of paintball. He didn't check out Cooper or the Rutgers twins. He didn't hunt Judd who referred to him as Wendell. He wasn't gunning for Vaughn who “accidentally” dumped beer on his shirt. No, Lenny was eyeballing my girl because the fucker was a coward.

I’d embarrassed him days earlier and he pretended to be fine. Yet men like him stewed in their self-pity until it turned to rage. Even wanting revenge, he wouldn’t come for me. The ball-less wonder instead planned to shoot Harlow as my punishment. I doubted he would aim for her outer thigh either.

With no reason for me to warn Harlow, I wore my nice guy mask even if my temper raged. The killer in me wanted Lenny on his knees, fruitlessly begging. If I wasn't wearing my mask at that minute, Lenny likely would have pissed his camo pants. With my mask, no one was the wiser except Harlow apparently.

“You cool?” she asked, caressing my arm and sending me into heat.

“I like when you pet me that way. Let’s ditch the game and go somewhere private.”

Studying me, Harlow considered saying yes. She was thinking about how good it felt in my arms. She was remembering my lips on hers. Noticing her breathing speed up ever so slightly, I waited for Harlow to agree to sneak off with me.

“I made a commitment to my team to pretend like I cared.”

Running my finger across her cheek, I accepted how throwing her over my shoulder and running away was off the table.

“Good luck pretending. I only made a commitment to show up. I’ve done that much, so I’m pretty much ready to ditch this crap and go have fun.”

Harlow grinned. “Get shot early.”

“Is that your plan too?”

“No,” she said, giving me a wink before joining Vaughn nearby.

Narrowing my eyes, I watched her ignore me. I knew she felt my gaze on her and she liked it. I sent her dirty thoughts about us in a hot tub. Somehow, I knew she was thinking about us too. Just before walking into the woods, Harlow couldn’t ignore me anymore and glanced back over her shoulder.

Our eyes met and held. Harlow showed me everything in a single moment before disappearing into the woods. Her heart both craved and feared me. My heart understood the struggle.

My group consisted of Lenny and Jason Jr. who was the baby brother of some big deal in Memphis. Much like the day before, the coddled idiot found a spot to hide. He would be safe until anyone with actual eyes glanced in his direction. I didn’t blame him for being stupid. These games weren't his usual gig. The guy had office man stamped on his forehead while Lenny was all muscles and no brain.

I tracked the asshole through the woods, remaining back enough to avoid him seeing me. He was looking for Harlow.
