Why did I tell her my real name? Why did I feel something last night that I shouldn’t have, and why am I aching to go back and do it again because it was just so fucking perfect?
It’s never been like that before. She is just so…
I run my hands through my hair in frustration. This was not in the plan. Focus.
I blow out a steadying breath, then I pick up Rosh’s breakfast and coffee from the kitchen to go, and I continue on my way back to the room. As I turn the corner back into our hallway, I notice Stucco walking ahead in front of me. What’s that fucker doing down here? His room is up at the other end of the ship. I hang back and duck behind the corner so I can watch what he’s up to. As he approaches my door, I peer around the corner I am hiding behind. Is he going to break into my room? I’m not in the mood for this fucking shit today. I can’t wait to put a bullet through this prick. Fuck, Rosh is in there. I stay still as I wait. The door to our cabin opens and Rosh comes out in one of my t-shirts and a pair of my boxers. My breath catches as I feel my protective instincts kick in. If he touches her, I swear to God.
He’s dead.
I peer around the corner as I watch.
She sees him and her eyes narrow. “What are you doing here?” she asks.
“Shut up, slut.” He sneers.
“Go to Hell,” he snaps and as she turns to go back into the room he grabs her arm. I step forward and then she pushes him hard and he flies back.
I wait to see what happens. She follows him out into the hall and pushes him again.
Huh? What the fuck is she doing?
She grabs him by the throat and rams him hard up against the wall.
What the…? I blink my eyes to see if I am imagining this. He grabs her around the throat and she quickly does some practiced move and flips him onto his back.
She slams his head hard up against the floor as she begins to choke him with her forearm across his throat.
He struggles as he tries to get up and yet she has him pinned down hard.
“What are you doing here?” she sneers.
“Go to Hell.” He growls.
“You have no fucking idea who you are dealing with.” She punches him hard in the face.
“I heard your little plan last night, asshole,” she yells as she bends and grabs him by the hair and slams it back on the floor. “This is your first and only warning. You go near Mac… You even think about Mac…” She pushes him again. “You even look his fucking way and I will kill you.”
“You’re crazy like him.” He growls as he tries to scramble to his feet to escape her attack.
She kicks him and he falls back onto the floor.
My eyes are wide. What in the fuck is going on here?
“I haven’t forgotten that cheap hit you laid on my jaw the first night I was here.”
“I will do it again,” he retorts.
She laughs out loud as she knees him hard. “Bring it.” She pauses. “Pussy boy isn’t so tough when he’s on his own.”
I feel my cock harden.
She pushes him forward and he falls back over. “I’m watching you.”
He scrambles on his hands and knees to escape her.
“Go near Mac and I promise, I will kill you.”
He stands and runs down the hall and up the stairs, and after running her fingers through her hair, Rosh turns and walks back casually into our room, closing the door behind her.
