My Bully’s Love by Stacy Rush

Book 3 - Ch. 149^ Wasted

I’m sound asleep in bed after an evening of doing some unspeakable things with Jace on the living room floor, when I’m woken up by him shaking my shoulder, “Baby, I need you to wake up, Jude needs us.”

As soon as those words are out of his mouth, I sit up immediately, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, “What’s wrong? Where is he at?” Climbing from the bed, I grab the see-through robe that Jace had bought me and start tying it around my waist as he sits on the edge of the bed.

“Master Riku called me and informed me of a messed-up situation and that he wanted to make sure that Master Jude is okay...” “What situation is he talking about?” My expression slackens as I wait for answers.

Jace sighs heavily and then shows me a picture on his phone, “He sent this to Jude, thinking he should be aware it.”

I’m completely at a loss for words as I stare at Beth on the phone, straddling another man’s lap, “Who is that, and why is she with him?” “I don’t know, and I don’t care at the moment. My only concern is finding Jude because Master Riku showed him this about two hours ago. He isn’t answering my phone calls, Ella.” Jace’s voice cracks a little at the end and I go to him, hugging his head to my chest.

“Let me get dressed and then we will go find him, okay?” I feel him nod his head against me, and so I kiss the top of his head and pull away.

He grabs my hand to stop me, “Thankyou, Ella.” “You don’t have to thank me, Jace. Jude is like family, and family stick together.” Caressing his cheek, I lean in and press my lips against his briefly before moving to the closet and grabbing the first items that I can find.

I’m just coming out of the bathroom as Jace is hanging up the phone, “Well, finding him wasn’t that hard, thank fuck! He’s still at the sports bar down the road. The bartender says he’s in rough shape, though, and would appreciate it if we would come and get him. He was about to call the police because Jude’s causing problems with the regulars.”

I can’t help but snicker, “Can you really see him being any other way?” “You are one hundred percent right, baby,” he grabs my hand, “ Come on, let’s go get our boy.”

I’m not sure how the establishment that we walk into is considered a sports bar, it’s more like a dive bar if you ask me. There is a commotion going on at the far end of the long bar, and we can only assume that is where we will find our man. I grip Jace’s hand as he shoves his way through the crowd.

“Hey beautiful...” “Hot damn...” “Look at that ass...”

I ignore every catcall made my way and just focus on getting to Jude. I hear his slurred words before I ever see him, “Why don’t you stop being so pathetic and go home to your wife! Go to those AA meetings and stop being a fucking loser!”

Jace finally stops beside a middle-aged man with shaggy salt and pepper hair that can barely stand on his own. He smells like a brewery, and that’s saying a lot since we are standing inside of a bar. Jude hasn’t seen us yet, but I watch as a very pretty dark- skinned woman places her hand on Jude’s arm, trying to draw his attention away.

“Come on, handsome. Let’s leave the old man alone, okay?” She acts as though she knows Jude and I wonder just what exactly he’s been up to tonight, but then his next words ease my anxiousness.

“Listen,” he slurs but smiles at the woman, “I told you before that I’m unavailable.” “You did, but that was before you poured your little heart out over the hussy that did you wrong. Why don’t I show you how a real woman treats her man?”

anything else, I shove my way between them and stare at the woman, “If he says he’s unavailable then he’s unavailable, so beat it.” “Ella?”

She asks as
