The Greatest Fight of All (The American Soldier Collection 5)

“Holy shit. You did, Regan? With who?” Amelia asked her.

“Galen has three brothers. I haven’t done anything major yet, but I’m exploring the whole thing.” She winked then smiled before taking another sip from her drink.

Velma and Amelia laughed.

“Wow. I can’t believe this,” Amelia stated.

“Well, we can’t believe that you’re sleeping with our brothers.”

“Velma!” Amelia reprimanded then gave her a tap to her thigh.

“Well, well, well, look what we have here.”

They turned toward the voice and instantly Amelia cringed at seeing Tucker. What an asshole.

He placed his hand on Velma’s shoulder, giving it a squeeze.

Velma pushed it away. “Don’t touch me, Tucker.”

He moved in behind her and two of his buddies joined them. The creeps eyed Amelia and Regan over.

“Don’t be like that, Velma. We could be good together. Better than that lowlife asshole, Jonas.”

Velma turned toward him, giving him the evil eye.

“Take a walk, Tucker. None of us are interested in seeing you,” Regan stated.

Amelia stood up. “Come on let’s walk over there.”

One guy placed his hand on her waist. “Come dance with me, sweetheart. I’ve been watching you all night.”

“Get your hands off of her. She’s taken,” Regan raised her voice.

“Oh yeah, that’s right. You’re fucking four guys. Why don’t you come home with me, Amelia, I’ll show you what you’re missing. I’m better than all four of those muscle heads,” Tucker said.

“You know what, Tucker? You’re so typical,” Amelia told him.

“Typical of what?”

“Typical of a man who has such a small penis. He needs to overcompensate with his mouth because he can’t succeed by performance.”

Regan and Velma laughed. So did Tucker’s two buddies.

“Come on,” Regan said, taking Velma’s hand. The three of them walked away, and as Amelia turned around, she could see how angry Tucker was.

As the night continued, Velma and Regan were enjoying themselves, but Amelia kept her eyes on Tucker and his friends. She didn’t trust them. She especially didn’t like the way Tucker was watching Velma. Although Amelia had warned both Regan and Velma about Tucker’s comment to her at work, she was still concerned. After all, someone had already tried forcing themselves on Velma the night of her birthday. Luckily, Jonas was there to help her.

As Amelia excused herself to use the ladies’ room, she realized that she actually missed the men. The last week had been incredible. They catered to her, made love to her as soon as she arrived home from work, and they shared dinner together. The best part of all was how the men were easing up telling her about their lives. She understood that they had hard times. She knew firsthand about that. The fact that they shared how Waylon and Brody were adopted and of course how they gained their nicknames, pulled on her heart.

Sam, Jordan, Tysen, and Elise were amazing and their love for their children was commendable. Amelia was envious. Her family life had been filled with nothing but heartache. Considering there were three men in her life after her mom died, all of them had failed her. She had been the one to take care of them. She had been on the receiving end of their anger and their destructive behavior, and she was the one to bury them.

Getting involved with Mano was a huge mistake and she should have followed her gut. Even now, knowing how wonderful Ricky, Waylon, Brody, and Murphy were, she still feared their wrath, their commanding ways, and ultimately, she feared getting hit by them.

She swallowed hard as she looked in the mirror and felt the need to call them. She pulled out her cell phone and saw the text message from Mano.

It’s not over. I’ll give you some time to think about us. But you will be mine again, Amelia. I’m not giving you up.

She was instantly angry. Angry at the fact that the man didn’t get it. Where had he been the last year? If he had cared, if he had truly made a regrettable mistake by treating her the way he did, and by cheating on her, then where was he? Now, he suddenly wanted her back? She was done with him. She was finished allowing men to control her and use their masculinity.
