TEASER REVEAL!
Soft Tissue Damage by Lilith Vincent releases September 24!
“I have a couple of baseball bats in the back of my truck,” I tell the two assholes who’ve been harassing Elena. “There are a lot of lights burned out in that parking lot, and it will be pitch black when you walk to your vehicles. If brains get spattered on the concrete, I doubt that anyone will notice until they step in them.”
Please. Give me a fucking reason.
My son coughs nervously. “Dad, what are you—”
I hold up a hand, and Leon falls silent. “Unless you gentlemen would like to leave first, like I already asked.”
The two men exchange glances, and then both reach for their wallets. They put bills on the table that cover their burgers and Elena’s tip, then head for the door, shooting me looks like they think I’m crazy.
“And that’s how you do it,” Mercer says to my son.
“I’m supposed to threaten anyone who makes a dumb joke to my girlfriend?” Leon asks.
“You’re supposed to do something,” I tell my son. “You think a woman gets a good feeling when she sees you letting other men treat her like a piece of ass?”
“Elena knows how to look after herself,” Leon mutters, staring into his lap. “I’m not really into picking fights and causing scenes.”
Elena arrives at the booth next to us carrying two cheeseburgers, and sees the empty seats and the money left at the table.
“Those men had to go, Elena,” Mercer calls to her. “Something about baseball.”
“Oh, thanks for letting me know. Want a free burger?” she asks Leon, and puts it in front of him.
Leon looks uncomfortable about being given something he knows he doesn’t deserve.
“Your girlfriend is kind and beautiful and a hard worker,” I tell him, when Elena is out of earshot. “She’s a rare diamond. Appreciate what you have before someone else does.”
