“Doesn’t this look fucking cozy.”

I turn and find Saint skulking toward us. Gabe is with him, though he looks amused at Saint’s obvious fury.

Liam’s expression goes instantly cold.

“What? She’s not allowed to talk to other people now?” he snaps. “You need to get a fucking grip, man.”

Saint comes to a stop possessively close to me, and irritation unfurls in my belly.

“You have something you want to say to her, you shouldn’t have a problem with me hearing it,” Saint says, and Liam rolls his dark eyes.

His brows shoot up and he looks like a kid on Christmas morning.

“Mallory!” Saint’s voice is tight, a note of warning underlying his tone.

I don’t look back, instead throwing my middle finger up into the air to show him exactly what I think of his threats.
