But Chris grabbed her wrist again, his head still throbbing from her earlier smack. She didn’t hold back at all–his brain felt like it was rattling around in his skull.

Stephanie glanced at him, raising a brow. “Seriously?”

His breathing turned ragged. “You and those guys-”

He couldn’t even finish the sentence. He didn’t need to. As a grown man, he knew exactly what those marks meant.

Stephanie ignored him and turned to Sebastian. “What are you doing here?”

“When did your fighting skills get so sloppy?”

Sebastian took off his coat and wrapped it around her.
