If Croft got any closer, my temper was going to snap, and I was going to shove my fist down his throat.

I was already on a hair trigger for what he’d said to her.

Having TU staring down at me as I lifted my head from Trice’s was just another thing to piss me off, but I kept my face blank as I looked at him. “You wanted me here. I’m here.”

And I was mentally kicking my own ass too. What in the hell had I been thinking, bringing a girl like Trice in here? I should have known better, and I was so disgusted with myself, it wasn’t even funny.

I continued to stare at TU, but he eyed Trice, his attention avid.

I wasn’t too happy with the way he was looking at her either.

A hundred warning alarms started to sound inside my head, but it was too late to do anything now. All I could do was go with the flow and minimize the fall-out.

“You know how it works,” TU said. “You bring a new girl in, I have the right to break her in.”

Trice stiffened, and I heard her breath catch. Please…just don’t say anything. TU was pissed off about last night and trying to push his limits with me in general. There was no way in hell I was letting him put his hands on Trice, but I needed her to be quiet while I got her out of this mess I’d pulled her into. Meeting TU’s gaze, I gave him an insolent smile. Playing nice wasn’t going to help things here.

“The only reason you’re still the acting president is because I haven’t decided I wanted the position…yet,” I said calmly. “Everybody here knows that my father is the real president, and I’m the one he wants to take over.” I slid my hand down Trice’s arm and let my smile widen a little. “She stays with me.”

I tugged her along with me and walked past the bar. Giving Dallas a look, I said, “Give me a bottle of Jack.”

He passed one over, and I was tempted to turn around, smash it over TU’s then Croft’s head. I was mad now at both of them, and at myself, but the only way through this was forward. Keeping Trice close to me, I led her to the back of the bar and through a door that separated the public area from another part.

There was a room back there with a bed, and as much as I hated to lead her back in there, I knew we had a better chance of getting out of here without getting shit if we just let TU think he’d pushed me into something I wouldn’t normally do.

As we moved through the door, I slung an arm over Trice’s neck and tugged her in closer, as though to nuzzle her neck.

What I did was whisper in her ear.

“I want you to relax and just go along with me. That guy is bad news, but I’m not going to let him touch you.
