One Night
Page 26
“Well, hey there.” I socked out my hip and lifted the cigarette to my lips. He watched me take a drag, watched the way my lips sucked at the thin white cylinder, and his grin widened.
“Tell me, sweetheart, you got plans after work?”
I shrugged. “Depends.”
“Depends on what?”
I stubbed out my cigarette and stepped closer. “Depends on you.”
He kissed me, his tongue pushing into my mouth immediately. He had a large tongue and he was too eager, too determined to show me that he was a good kisser. I pulled back and wiped my mouth off discreetly. Perhaps tonight wasn’t going to be as fun as I thought.
“I’ve been wanting to kiss you all night.” Frat boy grabbed my breast and squeezed it roughly.
“Slow down, handsome.” I tugged his hand away. “Not so fast.”
He pushed me up against the wall and cupped my breast again. “Please, you’ve been practically begging me for it all night.”
I rolled my eyes, suddenly remembering why I didn’t fuck college boys. “Give me a minute to – “
He kissed my neck, his teeth nipping at the skin and I pushed him away. “I said, slow down.”
“Fine,” he pouted and crossed his arms over his chest.
“Let me just grab my things and we’ll go,” I said.
He grinned and glanced behind his shoulder. I followed his gaze, frowning when I saw his three buddies climbing out of the car.
“Do we get a group rate, sweetheart?”
Anger flooded through me and I spit on him. “I don’t do groups, you little prick.”
He wiped the spittle off his cheek looking at the liquid on his fingers in disbelief. “You bitch! Did you just spit on me?”
I reached into my apron for my can of mace, remembering too late that it was in my jacket in the bar. I backed up in the general direction of the door, glancing around as frat boy and his dickhead buddies drew closer.
“Listen, sweetheart, you’re going to come back to our place and you’re going to show us all a good time, okay? In the morning we’ll, I don’t know, take you out for breakfast or something to say thanks.”
“Fuck you, asshole,” I snarled. Without taking my eyes off them, I reached behind me for the door handle, cursing in my head when I felt nothing but the rough brick wall of the bar. Where was the goddamn door?
With surprising speed, frat boy lunged for me. I opened my mouth to scream and he clamped a hard hand over my mouth. “Don’t do that, sweetheart. We just want to – “
He was ripped violently away from me and I pressed my body against the wall as he was thrown to the ground. He hit the pavement with a loud thud and cursed loudly.
“I don’t believe the lady is interested, little boy.” Cash towered over him, his hands folded neatly behind his back.
I stared at him in relief. I think this might have been the first time I had seen Cash standing up close, and I was shocked by just how large he was. My small frame was dwarfed by his and his hands were twice the size of mine.
The frat boy stumbled to his feet, his hands clenched into fists, and backed up until he was standing with his buddies.
“Get out of here, man. This doesn’t concern you.” He tried to sound tough but even I could see the way he was trembling.
“Oh, I think it does,” Cash replied mildly. “You and your little friends get in your car and get the fuck out of here.”
Frat boy glanced at his friends. They nodded and he grinned at Cash. “There’s four of us and only one of you. It seems you’re outnumbered.”
Cash didn’t reply. I was standing frozen against the wall, my heart beating too fast in my chest, and my mouth tasting like frat boy and cigarettes.
“You know what they say, don’t you?” Frat boy sneered. “The bigger they are, the harder they fall.”
“Why don’t you stop your babbling and bring it then, little boy,” Cash said quietly.
The frat boys ran forward and I watched flabbergasted as Cash kicked the shit out of them.
