Damn it, Galen liked her.
He slid off the counter and glanced over to find Theo
watching him. They’d known each other so damn long, had gone
through so much shit, he didn’t have to hear his friend’s words aloud to
know what that look meant. “Shut up.”
“Told you so.”
“You didn’t tell me shit.” He started across the living room, heading in
the direction he could hear Meg’s footsteps as she fled. A quick touch to the
front door confirmed it was still locked and secure. He hesitated, even
though every instinct he had shouted for him to chase Meg, to bear her
down to the floor, to fuck that sexy smirk right off her face.
It didn’t matter what he wanted, though.
Not entirely.
“Go.” Theo didn’t raise his voice, but he didn’t have to. Even without
his public speaking training, Galen was so fucking attuned to him, he could
pick up a whisper across the room if he concentrated. A necessary skill he’d
developed over the years. Theo had a nasty habit of biting off more than he
could chew because his eye was so focused on the game that he didn’t
acknowledge the threats rising up against him. He saw the big picture, and
he was brilliant at putting all the pieces into place to get the end result he
wanted.
If Galen had one skill set, it was keeping Theo safe.
Even from himself.
