Chapter 24

Tate

Sitting on the porch steps of my house I rub at my aching hands. Angry.

What happened in the ring could have been avoided. If I had known Chase was going to act like that I would have been more alert, and could have had a better chance at standing my ground.

My head falls in my hands and my phone beeps.

I just fucked Jacki's boyfriend. Miss you. –Keegan.

I laugh, and give a thumbs up before tucking the phone back in my pocket.

I needed that laugh.

Camden's car pulls into his drive, and he climbs out with ease. He's like a smooth panther. Graceful, but strong.

His eyes spot mine, and I look down. Pretending not to be watching him. I hate that he had to stop the fight today. Seems he's always rescuing me.

He walks onto my lawn, his gym back thrown over one shoulder.

"You okay?" he asks getting closer.

Sucking in a breath I give a tight lipped smile.

"Oh, today? Yeah, I'm fine. No big deal." I play off, but my lip is definitely swollen.
