Then someone started beating on the door. Zy stood with a frown. “You expecting any packages?” “No.” “Let me answer it.” “Tessa!” an unfamiliar male voice called from the front porch. “Open up, babe. I didn’t mean to get mad last time. Let’s talk it out.” Son of a bitch. “Cash?”“Yeah.” Tessa bit her lip. “That's my es, and he sounds drunk.” He did. Damn it. “Go away!” she shouted through the door. “I have a restraining order against you, and you’re violating it.” “Babe, you don’t need that. I would never hurt you. I lost my temper the other night. I’m sorry. Open up so we can talk?” Zy shook his head and pinned Tessa with an urgent gaze. “Grab the baby and your phone. Lock yourself in the bedroom. I’m going to have a chat with this bastard.” She shook her head. “There’s no reasoning with him when he’s like this. You’ll only make matters worse.” “I’ll make him go away, but I want you two safe first.” Tessa sighed like she knew his suggestion would keep her safest, but she didn’t like it. “All right.” She scooped the baby up from her activity mat. Hallie fussed, but Tessa disappeared with her phone and her daughter behind the closed door. Then he retrieved his Glock, flipped on the porch light, then yanked the door open. Tessa’s ex stood on the front stoop, hands shoved in his pockets, huddled against the chilly night. His blond beard looked scruffy and his blue eyes bloodshot. He wore scuffed cowboy boots, faded jeans, and a ratty T-shirt with a drawing of a pig standing at a barbecue that said I LIKE MY PORK PULLED AND MY MEAT RUBBED. Classy guy. “Listen, buddy. She doesn’t want you here. So take your drunk ass and—” “Who the hell are you?” Cash lurched drunkenly, looking him up and down. “Is she banging you already?” Zy itched to punch him. “I’m here to protect her. Watch your mouth. What do you want?” “To see Tessa.” “And meet your daughter?” Cash looked less enthusiastic about that. “Well, yeah.” Zy bit back his opinion that the SOB didn’t deserve either of them. “Then you’ve got to start playing by the rules. You scared Tessa the other day, and she got a restraining order. Because she’s afraid of you. So now’s the time to back off and give her space. You trying to force her to talk isn’t helping. It’s only been a few days since you busted out her window and threatened her. How was that supposed to reassure a new mom?” “I didn’t think about it like that. But…but”—he sputtered and shivered with a gust of wind—“why is she pissed? I just pointed out that her body was looking smoking hot again, and since the baby, her tits are an upgrade. I didn’t say anything offensive.” Oh, not at all. “Well, she found it offensive.” Cash let loose a long-suffering sigh. “Why are women so touchy? You can’t even compliment them anymore without them getting all weepy and insulted. I just tried to say something nice—” “If you’d mentioned her eyes or her smile, she might have appreciated that. But you haven’t seen her since you ran out before she gave birth to your daughter, and the first thing you mentioned was her breasts.” “Because they were the first things I saw!” There was no hope for this guy, and Zy was done wasting his breath. “Well, she’s not going to see you tonight, so you need to turn around and—” “Who are you to tell me what to do?” Cash poked him in the chest. Zy glared down at the asshole’s finger. “Don’t touch me.” Cash did it again. “What are you going to do about it?” Squash your drunk ass like a bug. But Zy refrained. “Protect Tessa from you.” The guy scoffed dismissively. “You can’t touch me.” Zy lunged in Cash’s face. “If you try to barge in here and force Tessa to see you, I will do a lot more than touch you. So you can either leave peacefully…or you can leave in pieces. Your call.” Zy smiled tightly. “Make good choices.” 📚Start reading now!
