Page 5 of Drax (Iron Thunder MC 3)
Well, I had the answers to those questions already. It was out of the question.
Drax and I could never be together again.
“Just because I never bit you doesn’t mean I’m not capable of it,” I replied to him now. One of the guys behind me chuckled and Drax’s eyes narrowed on him.
I watched as he clenched his jaws. He wasn’t pleased to see me. That much was pretty obvious.
“Everybody out!” he growled. It was a command, and everyone was going to obey it.3DraxI couldn’t believe she was actually here. Even when Flash interrupted my almost-sexcapade to tell me she was waiting for me downstairs; I didn’t believe him.
Mary-Beth, back in Fifth Gear?
The last time I saw her was more than a year ago. And since then, I’d seen her every night in my dreams.
I wanted to stop thinking about her. I’d spent all this time trying to get her out of my fuckin’ head but she refused to leave. In true Mary-Beth spirit, I could never convince her to do something she didn’t want to do.
And now she was back here in person. Standing in the middle of this blasted room. Looking like the most innocent little rabbit creature when I knew she was only going to end up stirring trouble.
She didn’t look very different from the last time I’d seen her, but she looked beautiful. Maybe even more beautiful now than she did before. Her blue eyes were big and bright, sparkling with rage. She had those trademark thick eyelashes and brows. I was aware of the way other chicks looked at her. They wanted to be able to perform the kind of magic with makeup that Mary-Beth was able to accomplish effortlessly.
“I said, get out. All of you!”
I had to repeat my command to get the guys moving out of the room. I knew they didn’t want to go. They wanted to stay right here and listen to every last detail of this conversation. Nobody had been expecting Mary-Beth to turn up here out of the blue.
They all knew we were going to get into a fight.
But when I saw them standing over her like that when I came into the room, my first instinct was to jump to protect her. To pull her away from them.
But I had no rights over her anymore. She wasn’t my old lady now. We were through. So, what was she doing here?
I glared at the guys as they slowly left the room. None of them were in a hurry to go. Bastards. She followed them with her eyes too.
It was Spike who left last, and he shut the door behind him.
“Good. I wanted to talk to you alone,” she said and ran her long fingers through her silky blonde Barbie-doll hair.
“You shouldn’t even fuckin’ be here,” I growled in response and Mary-Beth rolled her eyes.
“Drax, why don’t you stop trying to tell me what to do for a change and listen to me instead?” Her voice sizzled.
We were both glaring at each other in rage, fire burning in our eyes. There was no doubt about it, this conversation was not going to end well. This was going to be a fuckin’ disaster.* * *I had two perfectly sexy naked chicks up in my room, while Mary-Beth stared me down. I could be up there with them right now, tying them up to my bed posts. Amara’s olive skin, her beautiful dark eyes scanning me. Sylvia’s tongue in my ear. Around my cock.
But Mary-Beth licked her lips. Glossy with a light shade of pink. I could only focus on her right now. Nobody else and nothing else mattered.
“Are you listening to me, Drax?” she asked, narrowing her blue eyes at me.
“What else do you think I’m doing right now?” I snapped.
“You look like you’re thinking of something else.”
“What the fuck is going on, MB? Are you going to tell me why you’re here?” I couldn’t help but call her that. I couldn’t just revert to calling her Mary-Beth like everyone else. She flinched a little when she heard me say that. Her nostrils flared but then she dropped her gaze down to her feet.
Whatever she was about to tell me was going to be difficult to say.
“I want you to leave Crash alone,” she answered.
It felt like she’d just slapped me across the face. I couldn’t believe she actually used those words. She wanted me to leave her brother alone? How clueless was she about what was going on?
She scanned my eyes, searching for an answer.
“Drax…” she said and took a step toward me. My hands were on my hips, I was glaring right back at her.
“What did you just say?” I asked.
She licked her lips again and shook her head.
“Look, I don’t know what’s going on between you two and frankly, I don’t want to know. There’s always something going on between the two of you. But you know what? I’ve had enough. I want this to stop. I want you to leave him alone so we can all just move on with our lives.”
