One Choice (Hogan Brothers 2)

Shoving Joey across the room had Asher stepping back.

“What the hell, man?”

“You have a big fucking mouth, Joe, and in a second here, I’m gonna make sure you never open it again.” His snarled words dropped lower the more he advanced on the man scrabbling backwards.

“I didn’t fucking do nothing.”

Levi didn’t give him a chance to get anything else out as he pounced on him. His mind cleared, and instinct took over as he levelled the man with punch after punch to the face, ribs, kidneys, anywhere he could. It wasn’t until Nox pulled him off and slammed him to the ground that he realized what he’d done. Joey was on the concrete next to him bruised and bleeding.

“Are you fucking stupid, Levi?” Nox growled in his ear from above him. Anger laced his words.

“Fucker needs to keep his goddamn mouth shut,” he snapped back.

“He okay?” Nox ignored Levi, asking Asher about the bigmouth cocksucker.

Groaning, Joey sat up with help. As he spit the blood from his mouth, he shot a glare at Levi and hissed, “Fucker hits like a damn girl.”

“You son of a bitch!” Levi bucked under Nox’s weight, wanting to go at the other man again.

“Levi?” Her sweet fucking voice.

Nox wouldn’t let up off his body. “Get the fuck off me, Nox!” Rolling over, he was able to dislodge his brother from on top of him.

Jumping to his feet, he bolted for the door between the office and shop, and there she fucking was. Standing with Soph, looking worried as fuck.

“I wasn’t with anyone else. I swear to fucking God, Hayes. It’s only you.” His voice was feral as his hands delved into her gorgeous red hair, her hazel eyes full of shock. Before she could respond, his mouth was on hers. A need to claim her drove through his system.

She responded immediately, opening up for him, touching her tongue to his as he plundered her. Bruising her soft lips with his own. He couldn’t help it, not with the way he was feeling. He was raw like an open wound.

“Levi?” She pulled away, and he growled at the loss. “What’s going on?”

“Boy needs to be on a leash.” Joey yapped off at the mouth behind him.

“You shut your fucking mouth before I break it!” Levi promised him. He would, too.

“Swearing,” Hayes admonished him in a whisper. Soph laughed. “Did you do that to him?” She sounded amazed.

“He lied to you.” He shrugged.

“Apologize.”

He turned to look at her, wondering about her sanity. “I know what you were thinking when you left here, Hayes. No fucking way.”

“Yes.”

Stubborn woman. “I won’t. He made you doubt me, and frankly, I should put you over my knee for that alone. I settled for smashing his face in.” He crossed his arms defiantly.

She stared at him.

When tears began pooling in her eyes, he started to waver. “Son of a bitch.” He turned to Joey, who had a smug fucking look on his bloody face. “I shouldn’t have bashed your mug in.”

“Levi,” she prompted him again. Nox and Asher were fighting back their laughter at his unease.

“Fuck. Fine. I’m sorry, Joey.” Her arms wrapped around him from behind. Her hands roamed up his chest, and he was done. Turning around, he bent over, draping her body over his shoulder and carried her out. “I’m out for the day, Nox!” Levi called over his shoulder as Hayes laughed and smacked his ass.

They nearly crashed through the front door of Levi’s house as he carried Hayes in, legs wrapped around his hips and mouths fused together.

She didn’t’ know what it was about him defending her honor that was such a huge turn on, but it did the trick. She couldn’t help herself when he went all caveman. Clothes flew from their bodies in every direction as they stumbled their way up the stairs. Not even half way up and Levi had her pinned down, one step digging into her back, yet she couldn’t care less about anything but the way he made her feel.
