Chapter Twenty-Six

Me Against You

Matt

She’s going to regret this. As soon as she said, “okay,” the knot inside me that unraveled last night after telling her part of my story just retied, and this time double-knotted itself for good measure. I’m fucking insane getting involved with her right as Jax pops back onto the scene. I know she’s in danger. He’s already threatened her. What the fuck am I thinking?

Sure, I warned her I’m an asshole, but that’s a generic disclaimer that every guy should stamp on his forehead, for Christ’s sake. The bad news part doesn’t even begin to cover it, and it does all my issues a disservice in the description department.

I’m tempted to tell her all this; take back everything I said, and run out of this cafeteria as if chased by a pack of rabid wolves. Those crystal blue eyes of hers hold me in place, though. Not that I mind being held here entirely, to be honest. I could fall for Samantha and swear I’m well on the way there. Could she ever fall for me? Would I ever let her in enough to know the real me? Do I even know who that is anymore? So many questions swirl around in my mind as I lose myself in her eyes. Those deep pools of clear blue.

She leans into me again, lifting her mouth to meet mine, and her warm body presses into me, driving me to distraction. I reach around and grab her ass, pulling her close to grind against me, and the pain of my need for her is exquisite. I wonder if we can find a room with a lock on the door...

The buzzing of my phone in my back pocket forces me to pull up for air. “Sorry,” I mutter as I reluctantly look down at the screen.

JAX: Here.

“Gotta go. We’ll do this later?” Walls up, shutters down. I give Samantha a quick peck on the cheek and leave the cafeteria without looking at her or answering her subsequent question about what was going on. I have no idea what ‘Here’ means, and I don’t know if I want to find out. Here at the venue? In the city? Backstage with us? What the fuck? The adrenaline racing through me leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

I find the security detail assigned to Samantha posted outside the cafeteria. He appears capable enough, but I can’t take any chances. “Are you one of Taylor’s guys?” I ask him as I glance around. He nods at me and keeps his gaze alert to the surrounding area. I pull up the photo of Jax and show it to him, “This guy is not to get within 50 yards of Samantha. Understand?”

“Yes, sir.” He studies the photo quickly but closely.

“Stick to her like glue. She’ll probably try to shake you at some point. Don’t let her.”

“Yes, sir.” He repeats.

“Thanks.” I turn from him as I dial Taylor’s number and head toward the green rooms. He answers on the first ring.
