Teddy’s hateful eyes landed on me, then he turned to Peter. “You want her? Fine. A woman like that—she’s nothing but trouble. Fucking cock tease!”
Marnie, fuming, came to stand by my side. Her hands were balled into fists and I suspected she wanted to kick Teddy’s ass for touching her. “Touch me again—no, say another word—and you’ll live to regret it.”
I smiled at her, thankful for her guts. I wished I had half of her bravado.
Peter stared Teddy down, emphasizing Marnie’s threat. Teddy tried to look tough, but I saw a hint of defeat in his dark eyes. Peter was at least six foot two, a good two inches taller than Teddy. Even though Teddy had more weight on him, there was no mistaking the very serious look on Peter’s face that said not to mess with him. Teddy clearly got the message, and began backing up.
But his eyes were on me, menacing. An unspoken threat.
Then the jerk turned around and marched back toward the club.
With Teddy gone, Peter slipped his arms around my waist. I was surprised at how much comfort his touch gave me, considering I’d only met him tonight.
“Who was that guy?” Peter asked.
“Someone I met in the club. I guess he was hoping to take me home.”
“Asshole,” Marnie quipped. “A guy wants you but you don’t want him, he turns into a prick.”
I glanced at my friend, shooting her an appreciative look. Marnie never failed to come to my defense. The night everything had happened with Chad, she’d wanted to rip his eyes out—literally. I hadn’t wanted to tell anyone, but she’d gone to the dean of our university on my behalf, and while Chad hadn’t been arrested, he’d been questioned and reprimanded.
“Peter, this is my best friend, Marnie. I didn’t get to introduce you in the club.”
“Hello,” Marnie and Peter said in unison.
Peter returned his attention to me. He looked a little confused as he said, “You left without me.”
I glanced down, embarrassed.
“Were you planning to come back?” Peter went on.
I didn’t know what to say, so I said nothing. But I did feel foolish for having run out on him.
Marnie cleared her throat. “Sophie?”
I turned to look at her.
“I’m gonna be going now, okay? Are you coming with me, or…”
Peter’s fingers tightened on my waist, a silent plea. I gazed into his eyes, and knew I was going nowhere but with him.
“Or,” I replied with a smile.
The edges of Marnie’s lips curled. “Call me when you get where you’re going. And Peter, so you know—my boyfriend’s a cop.”
“Don’t worry, I’m going to treat your friend very well.”
