You’re welcome by the way .”
“I had it under control! What in the hell are you doing here?”
“I wanted to see you.”
Her head snaps back like I slapped her. Then she looks back at Walter-boy.
She touches my arm and quietly says, “Let him go, Bull.”
Now normally I would have ignored her, but she did something good here. She touched me. That makes me feel charitable, so I drop him.
“What are you doing?” she cries, bending down to help the asshole to his feet. He pushes her away and stands up.
“You said to let him go. Maybe you should ask him what he was doing?”
“I was kissing her, you moron,” he says, adjusting his suit.
Yeah, there went my generosity. I introduce his lying mouth to my fist. He falls back down with a thud.
“Kissing doesn’t involve a woman screaming no, asshole,” I tell him, and I’m congratulating myself on being so calm.
“Bull! I’m so sorry, Walter. Perhaps it would be best if you leave. We can talk about this tomorrow when…”
“What the fuck are you apologizing to him for? You weren’t trying to force yourself on his sorry ass. There will be no talking about it tomorrow. You’re going to stay away from Skye, and treat her with the utmost respect from now on, right, Walter ?”
“Real classy guy you’ve aligned yourself with Dr. Walker,” Walter says.
“You remember that before you try anything else, or even try to talk to her, asshole. I can bury your body in places no one will think to look. You get me, right?”
“Bull! Walter, he’s not serious. We’ll discuss this…”
“I’m deadly serious. Try me, Walter . Try me, one time ,” I tell him, crossing my arms.
He looks at Skye, then back at me, then leaves, slamming the door hard.
“I can’t believe you!” She huffs at me, and goddamn she looks beautiful, even if she wants to kill me right now.
“I can’t either,” I tell her.
“You just can’t come in here…wait… what?”
“I can’t believe I let that asshole walk out of here. You got me going soft, Doc.” I let my hand go down and adjust my dick. I grin as she watches the movement, and when her eyes come back to mine, I wink. “Well not all of me.”
Chapter 16
Skye
“Y ou are completely insane!” I bark at him. He is, the only problem is I like what he just did. I can’t remember anyone ever standing up for me. Here is this man doing it without even being asked. I’m not sure how to react and on top of that there’s Walter. I may like what Bull did, privately. Walter might have been so far out of line that there was no way to recover, but he is my boss. My very vindictive boss and Bull just threatened to kill him. No, correction he threatened to bury him where no one would ever think to look. What do I do with this? What do I do with Bull?
“Mom?”
I turn to see Matty coming down the hall, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. The familiar tug at my heart hits me. Just seeing my baby infuses me with pride. We may not have had an easy time of it, but I don’t regret a minute of it.
“I’m sorry sweetie, did we wake you?” I ask him, getting down on my knees, so I can hold him close and ruffle his hair.
“I heard yelling,” he says looking at Bull. “Who are you?”
“He’s…”
“I’m a friend of your Mama’s. You, Matthew?”
I watch as my son straightens his back and looks Bull over like he’s seeking out everything he can find out about him.
“Yeah. Were you yelling at my Mom?”
Bull smiles widely, almost proudly, at Matty. He’s given me cocky grins and flirty looks before, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a genuine smile from him before, until right now. The fact that he gave it to Matty means more than I could say. Maybe that was the exact moment I decided to soften. Up until this point, I was just fighting an unexplainable attraction for a man I should in no way be attracted to. Now? Now , I think there might be more to this attraction than just hormones.
