Chapter 10
Mitch
Ipurposely got to the bar well after I knew Bryn and Cam were already there. I knew I wouldn’t be able to hide my facial expression if she surprised me with a sexy entrance, or anything, for that matter. She could walk in wearing a paper bag and take my breath away.
“Hey! Look who finally made it!” Lieutenant Goff called from the head of the table.
With a wave, I greeted the large group. “Hey everyone. How’s it going?”
Of course, the only open seat at the table was across from Bryn. Taking it, my heart broke when she refused to even make eye contact with me.
Camden reached over the table to shake my hand. “Nice to see you, newbie. How’s B shift treating you?”
“I’m enjoying it for the most part, though the Lieutenant can be kind of a prick from time to time, but I have tough skin.” I glanced over at Dave as he pointed his finger at me.
Laughing, he responded, “Hey, watch it there, Katz. I’ll have you scrubbing toilets for the rest of your damn life if you keep that shit up.”
“What the fuck else is new?” I threw a balled-up napkin at him. “Happy birthday, old man. What is this, eighty-seven?”
“Fuck you!” He threw his head back laughing.
Bryn crossed her arms over her chest, looking down at the table and smiling.
Me: You can look at me, you know.
Bryn grabbed her purse and read the message, shaking her head as red covered her cheeks, spread down her neck and up her ears.
Bryn: Not while knowing your come is still dripping out of my pussy from a few hours ago, and not with how badly I want to show you the hickey you left on my ass cheek.
My pants instantly got tighter. That was not the message I had expected—at all.
“So, Bryn, heard you’ve been going to the gym a hell of a lot lately.” I smirked at her, calling her out on the cover story she’d been using on Camden for all the time she’d been spending at my apartment. It wasn’t a complete lie though, I did make her work out pretty hard when we were together.
“Being the only chick in our station house makes a girl need to blow off some steam and stay fit.” She didn’t miss a damn beat, locking eyes with me as she answered so coolly.
Camden leaned back in his chair. “I keep offering to go with her but she keeps telling me she needs alone time. Whatever the fuck that means.Women.” He rolled his eyes while nudging Bryn with his elbow.
The way he looked at her made my skin crawl. She could try to convince me all damn day that they were just friends, but I knew better—Camden, at least, did not want to be friends with her. I watched as he stared down her tank top, my protective side begging to be let out of its cage.
Deep breaths.
She’s not sleeping with him.
She is at your place all the damn time.
You just face-fucked the shit out of her.
None of it was helping. I wanted to yell,I licked it so it’s mine!in Cam’s face and grab Bryn, but jealousy isnotsexy.
I needed to cool my jets, so I took shots—shot after shot with as many of the group as would take them.
Bryn: Having a little bit of fun, I see.
Me: Someone has to :P
She shot me a telling glance from her seat, subtly nodding her head toward the back. “Gotta use the little girls’ room.”
I waited a couple of minutes before shoving away from the table and ducking back into the hallway that led to the restrooms.
