CHAPTER ELEVEN

Nate spun around and landed a fist in Dom’s face, then grabbed him by the throat, but not before Dom managed to yell, “Take care of him!”

Four guys grabbed him from behind as he sent Dom flying, so he shoved Lauren toward the door. “Go. I’ll catch you.” He picked one fool up and tossed him to the side and stopped another weak fist that jabbed at him ineffectually. He was about to go for a fourth when a loud voice interrupted them from the staircase at the far end of the room.

“Leave him be!”

The brothers all backed away, and Dominic picked himself off the floor, rubbing his jaw.

Trevor Hutton came down the stairs. “Dom, let them go. We don’t need any more trouble.” The guy looked a little old for the activities going on inside the frat. Hadn’t someone said he’d already graduated?

Dom said, “I was just inviting the Grant woman to stay for a while, that’s all. I meant them no harm.”

“Get the hell out of here, Patterson, and take her with you. Neither of you are welcome here.”

Nate moved over to Lauren’s side and ushered her out the door with a parting comment. “Some hospitality you offer.”

Once they were off away from the dorms, he tugged Lauren to a stop with his hand. “Are you all right?”

She nodded, tears in her eyes. “I just want to go. I don’t want to ever step foot in there again. This was wrong, so wrong.”

“Did you remember anything? Did anyone look familiar?”

“No. No memories, nothing, just a burning desire to get away before they hurt you.” She pulled on him and they resumed their path back to his truck.

Once they arrived, she headed for the passenger side of his vehicle, but she stopped suddenly and spun around. “Please don’t ever do that again.” A tear escaped down one cheek.

He cupped her face and whispered, “Lauren, I could have handled them. They were all drunk, unsteady on their feet. Doesn’t matter that there were more of them. They weren’t a challenge.”

“But I don’t want you hurt because of me. It didn’t help. I’ll have to find another way. But I will figure this out, no matter how long it takes me.” She grabbed his shirt and yanked him toward her, kissing him hard on the lips, devouring him with a passion that surprised him.

It also had him hard in an instant. She wouldn’t let go of him.

Nate glanced around. The area was devoid of any activity, but he still felt a little unsettled about where they were. “I’m getting you away from here first.”

Once they were off the campus, he said, “I want you more than I’ve ever wanted anyone, Lauren, but I don’t know what to do. I…I don’t want to push you too far.”

“Just find a hidden spot to park and kiss me.”

Surprised at her boldness, he stepped on the gas. “We aren’t that far from my house.” He headed home, grateful for all the green traffic lights.
