more
heartache for Savannah and I’ll beat your ass seven-ways-to-Sunday!”
Clenching
my fists I fight the urge to physically remove Trixie from my club. She needs
to get the fuck outta here before I lose it. Dixon and Braxton must notice my
entire body shaking with fury, because they leap to their feet, quickly trying
to get Trixie to go elsewhere. I’m grateful when I spot them dragging her over
to one of our bouncers and he escorts her out of the club.
Brooklyn
glances at me momentarily over her shoulder, with her eyes scrunched together
looking mad as hell before running after Savannah.
Fuck!
Now Brooklyn’s pissed at me! So much for a fun relaxing weekend with my boys…this
night has turned to shit. Jax had the right idea going straight to gambling.
“I
have to go find Savannah, try to sort all this shit out. You guys coming or
staying here?” Raking my fingers through my hair, I look back to where Savannah
disappeared to. I don’t see her or Brooklyn anywhere.
“We’ll
hang here, have some more drinks. Maybe walk around and chat up some people. Go
find Savannah.” Braxton tells me clapping me on the back. “If you need us just
shoot one of us a text.”
Not
wasting any time, I maneuver through the crowd. There are people dancing by the
tables, making it hard to get through. With alcohol coursing through my veins,
my head is foggy and with every step I take, my entire body feels off balance.
I feel like a ping pong ball bouncing off people as I try to find Savannah.
After
what feels like an eternity, I finally spot Savannah and Brooklyn. My heart
stops in my chest, as my blood boils inside my veins when I see who they’re
with. Standing beside Savannah, resting his hand on her fuckin’ arm, is Shayne.
I immediately see red.
Clenching
my hands into fists along my sides, and taking in hard sharp breaths, I make my
way towards them. Friend or not, seeing Shayne consoling my girl is too much
after knowing he was all over her in LA last night. There are people screaming
and dancing all around me, but all I see is Savannah. My feet freeze in place
as her eyes lock onto mine. The hurt I see in them is almost too much, but I’m
too far gone to stop the course I’m on.
Taking
long strides, I reach Shayne within seconds. My anger is sobering me up
quickly. Savannah sees the all too familiar look in my eye that says I’m ready
to throw down. Friends don’t fuck with other friends women. Especially one’s
they’re engaged to.
Reaching
out for me with desperation in her voice, Savannah tries to stop me, “Kayden!”
Ignoring
her, I focus all my attention on Shayne. His lips instantly curl up in a
Cheshire grin. “Hey, Knox.” He greets me with his laid back persona but his
face shows me the truth. He has to know that I’ve read the bullshit story going
around about Savannah and him. I threw this fuckin’ party for him, and he
hasn’t even once tried to clear the air with me tonight. He’s shady as fuck,
and I want nothing more than to knock that smug smile off of his fuckin’ face.
“Don’t
try to act all fuckin’ friendly with me, Shayne. I see straight through your
bullshit. First you were all over my girl last night, and now I find you yet
again with her?”
Brooklyn
and Savannah, wanting to stop this before it escalates, try to talk me down,
but I drown them out. I put all my attention onto the piece of shit in front of
me. He may think I’m to chicken shit to fight him because he does MMA, but he’s
never been more wrong. I never back down from a fight, and never have I in my
entire twenty six years ever lost a fight. I don’t intend on that
changing tonight.
“Are
there not enough women throwing themselves at you Shayne? You have to try and
get with Savannah?” I spit out at him.
He
throws his head back letting out a small chuckle. Taking a pull from his beer,
Shayne shifts his eyes off of me, and onto Savannah. I immediately notice her
become uncomfortable under his gaze, and
