I watched Alec carry her toward the exit, the sway of her hair catching the light until she was out of sight.<\/p>\n
Normally, I wouldn\u2019t tolerate another man laying so much as a fingertip on what was mine. But Alec wasn\u2019t just any man, he was the one person I trusted more than anyone else in the world. A man who would sooner cut off his own hand than touch my woman with anything resembling an indecent thought.<\/p>\n
Not that Alec seemed interested in women at all. Or men. Or anyone, for that matter. He\u2019d always been detached, focused only on what he deemed worthy of his attention. And today, that worth was keeping Violet safe while I handled the rest.<\/p>\n
I came straight here the moment I got off my private jet. I didn\u2019t even bother going to the company when I heard the board of directors, and my father were waiting for me. They could wait years for all I cared. In fact, most of them were probably relieved I didn\u2019t show. They were afraid of me, and would do anything to see me gone.<\/p>\n
But that wasn\u2019t the point.<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t wait anymore.<\/p>\n
Fuck. I couldn\u2019t wait to see that woman and claim her as mine. How could a single night leave me like this? The desire to kiss her, to fuck her, to hold her had been gnawing at me every day since I laid eyes on her.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d been with countless women, but none had ever made me feel this desperate, hard, and obsessed.<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long to track her down, I\u2019d had people watching her from the start. When I arrived, I wasn\u2019t prepared for the sight that greeted me.<\/p>\n
She was on her knees, head bowed, humiliated.<\/p>\n
How dare they.<\/p>\n
Only I had the right to put her on her knees. No one else was allowed to touch her, hurt her, or make her crumble.<\/p>\n
If they\u2019d made her suffer, I\u2019d make them beg for death before I was done.<\/p>\n
\u201cB-baby, did you see that?\u201d the woman\u2019s shrill voice rang out behind me. \u201cAre you just going to let her go? Let him disrespect me in front of you like that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Another voice joined hers, lower but no less irritating. \u201cOf course not. I\u2019d never let anyone treat you like that, baby.\u201d He yelled. \u201cHey, man! How dare you disrespect my girlfriend like that! Who the fuck do you think you are?\u201d<\/p>\n
I tilted my head slightly.<\/p>\n
Right. It was time to take out the trash.<\/p>\n
Without rushing, I turned toward them and slowly rolled up my sleeves. The fabric slid over my forearms,<\/p>\n
revealing skin, muscle, and the faint lines of veins beneath,<\/p>\n
\u201cFuck, someone pinch me. Am I dead? Is this heaven?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can a man be this attractive? It\u2019s not fair.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, right? It\u2019s Ike I\u2019m staring at a painting. I don\u2019t even want to blink.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWait\u2026 did you hear him call that girl his woman earlier? So they\u2019re together? If that\u2019s true, I doubt what those<\/p>\n
two said about her is real.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly. Why would she flirt with a guy that looks like\u2026 what\u2019s a good word? Oh, a discount department store<\/p>\n

mannequin, when she has a man who looks like the reason gods created humans?\u201d<\/p>\n
The murmur of agreement spread through the crowd. I let my gaze wander over them, bored, but I saw the way the couple\u2019s expressions twisted at the shift in public opinion.<\/p>\n
They didn\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s jaw tightened, a faint vein bulging in his temple as he took a step forward. \u201cWho the fuck do you think you are,\u201d he growled, \u201cto just come in here and act like a king? Bring that girl back right now. She disrespected my woman, both of you will go on your knees and apologize, or I will-\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked at him like he was a piece of gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe and glanced at my watch.<\/p>\n
9:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
Then I raised my head again. \u201cWhat will you do?\u201d<\/p>\n
He blinked. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe you have ears,\u201d I said, slipping one hand into my pocket. \u201cOr did you swallow them along with your brain? Is that why your stomach is bulging so much?\u201d<\/p>\n
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd, followed by muffled laughter.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u201d someone muttered under their breath, \u201cthat was brutal. And he said it with a straight, and bored face.\u201d<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s skin flushed a blotchy red. \u201cHow dare you! Do you know who I am? I could ruin your life if I wanted. Just because you wear an expensive suit doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re someone. I own two companies worth millions. Do you think you\u2019re up to my status? Don\u2019t make me make you a dead man over a pretty girl.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman beside him scoffed. \u201cPretty? She\u2019s not that pretty. She\u2019s a fucking slut, trying so hard to make you like her because she knew this man is nothing compared to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
He chuckled darkly at her words, eyes locking on me as if expecting some reaction. \u201cGirls these days,\u201d he said with a smirk, \u201cthey\u2019ll do anything to get into my pants. Man, if you\u2019re done with her and don\u2019t need her anymore, you can pass her to me. I don\u2019t mind having a taste.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even his own woman frowned at that, but my expression didn\u2019t change.<\/p>\n
My lips curved, but there was no warmth in it. I glanced at my watch again and murmured, \u201cYou know what? Screw the two-minute rule.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHuh?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Before he could blink, I was already in front of him. My hand clamped down on his head, shoving it low, and my knee came up hard. The crack of impact as my knee smashed into his face echoed through the space.<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s scream tore through the air. \u201cAhhhh! Fuck! My face.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blood was already dripping from his nose, staining his shirt. My fingers tightened on his tie, jerking him upright so fast he choked on his own breath.<\/p>\n
\u201cHuh?\u201d I tilted my head, letting my gaze sweep over his paling face. \u201cWe just started.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cW-wait\u2026\u201d He tried to pull away, his hands scrabbling at y wrist, but I only gripped harder, dragging him<\/p>\n
closer.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t even think about resting,\u201d I said, my voice low. \u201cYou\u2019re still breathing, so you can still take more.\u201d<\/p>\n
