Dressed in a pair of jeans and a black long-sleeved T-shirt, he looks so normal. Like he didn’t destroy my entire life.
His eyes lock onto mine instantly.
And he smiles.
Thatsmile.
The one that used to make my stomach knot even before everything happened.
My body goes ice cold.
I can’t move.
Can’t breathe.
Can’t think.
The guys go still, too. No one is moving.
“Restraining orders,” Reece muses mockingly as he steps farther inside. “Security guards. Lawyers.” He lets out a mocking laugh. “That’s a lot of work for little old me.”
Levi steps forward, dangerously slowly. But Reece barely even looks at him.
His attention stays fixed entirely on me.
“You really think any of that’s gonna stop me from getting to you?” His voice softens in that terrifyingly familiar way.“You know better than that, Piper Andrews. Should have known I wouldn’t let you move on. You can whore yourself out to whomever you like, but you’re still mine.”
Levi moves before anyone can stop him.
One second, he’s beside me. The next, he’s charging across the room like a missile.
His fist slams into Reece’s face with a sickening crack that echoes through the entire room.
Reece hits the floor hard.
And Levi doesn’t stop.
He’s on him quicker than a heart can beat.
Punch after punch lands in his face filled with raw rage.
“You sick fucking bastard!” Levi roars as blood splatters across Reece’s mouth.
Reece laughs.
Actually laughs. The sound makes me sick.
“Levi!” Dorian shouts, rushing toward the fight. “Don’t fucking do this!”
“Levi, stop!” Locke gets there first, but Levi shoves him off, then sends another round of punches into Reece’s jaw.
“Don’t you ever come near her!” Levi snarls in Reece’s face.
Eventually, both Dorian and Locke manage to drag him back.
“Enough!” Dorian barks.
Levi tries to fight against them, breathing hard enough to sound almost feral.
