Worth It (56 page)

“I’m sorry, Ten. Brad has a weird sense of humor.”

Is she actually apologizing for me?

“That’s okay. I get that a lot.” Sir Douche throws another smug look my way before focusing back on Mabry. “You were amazing in court today.” Every muscle in my body starts to tighten.

I notice a slight blush creep over Mabry’s cheeks. “Thank you, but I didn’t do anything, besides sit there.”

“The research you did for the case was extremely well done and detailed. Maybe we can get together sometime and discuss your future.”

Well, fuck me. Fuck you.

“Maybe,” she says, with a slight nervous laugh, glancing over at me.

An awkward pause takes over as his eyes roam down, landing on her chest, before shooting back up to meet her eyes. My fists and jaw clench tighter.

“I should let you two get back to your business. Brad, it was nice to meet you,” he says, never taking his eyes off of her. “Mabry, it’s always great to see you.”

He takes a step back and Mabry gives him a slight smile just before he exits.

Turning back to me she looks over with concern written across her face. “I’m sorry about that.” I don’t respond. I’m trying to get my temper under control so I don’t blow the entire place up. I feel her hand wrap around mine. “Are you okay?”

“That’s incredible.”

“What?” she asks.

“The way Sir Douche can kiss your ass so thoroughly while you’re sitting on it. What was that, Mabry?” I look over at her.

“A colleague coming over to say hi.”

“Is that all it is?” My voice is low as I stare into her eyes.

“To me it is. Are you jealous?” There’s surprise in her voice when she asks the question.

“Should I be?” My words sound colder than I mean them to.

“No. I’m not like that.”

I look deep into her eyes, making sure what she’s saying is true. It is. We’ve never discussed being exclusive, I just assume we are. Of course, we’ve never discussed what this is between us. I feel my pant leg rise as her foot travels up and down it. My dick starts to twitch and all thoughts of Sir Douche vanish.
