The Bear

I’m about to head home to the apartment since I hate sleeping in the frat house these days when I notice the straight-back posture and black hair of pretty boy Royce Huntsman walking into the gym with Beau. That smug expression is set hard on his face, and when I was younger, I’d want nothing more than to punch it off. Now that I’m older, I rise above my natural violent urges. I don’t like the guy, though.

He looks up at me, and I make eye contact and nod my chin. “Man,” I say, walking closer to him, “does your father still own AA Security?”

“Why?” he asks suspiciously, and Kody, who’s a couple of feet away, flicks him a warning grimace.

“I need a favor,” I say, beckoning him to move away from Beau for a private chat.

He reluctantly agrees with a black scowl and fists clenched in preparation. “If you want to hire security, contact reception. I have nothing to do with the operation of my father’s companies. That’s why he hires managers.”

“Nah, that’s not it. I need to find out who hired a crack dealer that’s been harassing my…a friend. A female friend. It’s shaken her up.”

I hoped that if he had no interest in helping me, he might help a girl going through a tough time. But who knows where this guy’s head is at?

“Who’s the girl?” he asks bluntly with no warmth in his tone.

“Emaline Applegate. Her sister went missing a while back, Brielle, cheerleader-”

He nods slightly, and I just can’t read the guy’s face. Am I winning or losing here? I hate wasting my fucking time on pricks like this. “Blond?” he asks, and several faces of blond cheerleaders shuffle through my mind, so I have no idea if we’re talking about the same chick.

“Yeah,” I answer. Short, sharp convos with the Huntsman. “Naturally, I’ll pay you for your effort.”

He screws his face up as if he just smelt something rotten. I think I insulted him. “I don’t need money. But we can make a deal. Keep your brothers away from Charlotte.”

“Who?” I cock my head.

“My stepsister, Charlotte Grant.”

“The redhead.”

“Promise to keep them away from Charlotte, and I’ll find out who hired your crack dealer,” he croons, glancing back at Beau, who’s watching with great interest.

“Deal,” I agree and hold my hand for him to shake, and he hesitates before sealing the deal. “His name is Gainor Legget.”

His scowl irons out into a smirk. “Gainor Legget? His mother must hate him, giving him a name like that.”

“Possibly.” That’s precisely what I said when I discovered his name—poor guy. I actually feel sorry for him. Although he’s happy with the new car I bought him, a newer model than the red sedan he was driving.

“Alright, I’ll see what I can do,’ he says, and I am about to walk away when he turns back and warns, “Don’t forget to keep your brothers away from Charlotte.”

My brothers have no interest in his scarred stepsister, but it’s obvious that he’s hung up on her.
