of people had no idea about what was going on.”
    I sigh, letting her logic take hold. “Where’s Bruno?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “I don’t know what to do, Sarah. I don’t want to talk to Gray, and I don’t want to see Ryan.”
    “I think we start with getting you out of this striptastic getup and into some jeans or something. Plus, those are two very worried guys who have been perched a dozen feet away from this restroom, waiting for you to come out. I would’ve paid to see you chase off their efforts, by the way.”
    I drop my head. My eyes are swollen, and my makeup must be smeared to hell. I long ago pulled off my fake eyelashes. “I need to wash my face before I go out there.”
    Scrubbing in the sink without makeup remover is fruitless. After two minutes of that, I look so much worse. I shake my head and point to my red nose and puffy eyes. “Hot.”
    “Eh, not as bad as you think.” Sarah laughs. “And let’s just take a second to say… Grayson is just as hot, maybe hotter, than your brother.” She throws her hands in the air. “No. I don’t want to hear that I’m not allowed to say that. There’s a time and a place for such admissions, and when Ryan’s all growly tough guy with big-ass guns strapped to his hip—let’s forget he’s your brother for a second so I can point out that, oh my effin’ shit, he does that look well.”
    I have to laugh. “Oh, too much.”
    “Never thought him calling me in the middle of the night would end like this. But I’ll take it.”
    I close my eyes and ignore the dull, throbbing headache that has started. “Alright. Let’s go.”
    She opens the bathroom door, and there’s a lineup waiting for me: Ryan—guns and a badge on his waist—standing next to the hot guy with dark hair and tattoos, who is next to an older-but-still-hot man with dark hair, and finally, there’s Grayson—chiseled, brooding, and personifying the word alpha. Four men who look ready to kill.
    “Holy mother of hotness,” Sarah whispers. “I just died and went to bad-boy heaven.”

CHAPTER SIX
     
    Grayson
     
    My molars might shatter for how hard I’m grinding them. My head hurts from the last few hours, but especially after Emma hid out in the bathroom. Ryan didn’t stand a chance, but his call-in-the-best-friend ploy deserves a little credit. Sarah popped into the bathroom and came out with a beautiful, albeit exhausted and distraught-looking, Emma Kingsley.
    Damn. In that second, I want my name on hers more than I want to breathe. Emma Ford . That is how it should be.
    I take a harsh breath and clench my fists, trying to focus on the situation at hand. Ryan and I were joined by Brock. Soon after that, the man who gave me a thumbs-up at Titan arrived. Turned out he—Jared—owns that whole company. Both dudes didn’t give a shit what any of the cops said, and with the exception of Ryan, they cleared the badges out of Emerald’s when Bruno and his gang of thugs were arrested.
    All I know is Delta got to work tearing the place apart, looking for intel and whatever else without me. Big surprise. Fight in VIP? Check. A fuck-off from the team because I was sticking close to my girl? Check.
    I quickly move to Emma and claim her from Sarah’s side. Both girls have wide eyes. Maybe they weren’t expecting us to be waiting, but that’s how it goes. Titan has questions that only Emma can answer, and I’m not leaving her side. Neither is Ryan.
    “Come on.” With her under my arm, I guide her to the main seating area, where the lights have been turned up.
    “Hang on, buddy.” Sarah takes her other arm. “We’ll be back.”
    “Em—”
    Sarah scowls. “Seriously, Grayson, give her a minute. We’ve got to get cleaned up.”
    “I’m fine,” Emma offers. “I want to change.”
    I narrow my eyes. I know that she’ll be fine, but I don’t want to let go. Still, I do. “Do your thing. We’ll be here.”
    The two women disappear, and Brock and Jared grab a seat and
