The enraged expression on Griffin’s face was one I’d seen a few times— namely, when he had forced me to talk about

my romantic past with Aiden.

Sitting at the dinner table together, he looked every bit as territorial and possessive as he’d been that day. And the boy,

the one who’d barely even glanced at my cleavage, was shaking in his boots—literally. He didn’t dare make eye contact with Griffin or I, but his hands were shaking so bad that I thought he might spill the water. He knew he’d made a mistake.

An even smaller mistake than that kitchen girl had. If she’s allowed to throw herself at Griffin and walk out of here without a scratch, so should this kid. He wasn’t even intentionally hitting on me.

Just as | thought Griffin might make some sort of move, I placed my hand over his forearm. He was warm to the touch,

like his jealousy had actually boiled over.

“Sweetheart,” I said, trying not to cringe at the sound of the endearment out of my mouth. I wasn’t practiced with the pet

names.

“Are you okay?” Given my limited romantic history, I wasn’t great with that sort of affection, but if there was ever a time

to try, now seemed like a good choice. Maybe appealing to Griffin—and the mate bond— could help the boy walk out of

the room alive.

The endearment had the intended effect. I watched Griffin’s eyes immediately slide to mine, surprised. He hadn’t

expected it from me.

Fortunately, in the few seconds I’d managed to redirect his attention, the kitchen boy was able to slip out of the dining

room, unscathed.
