Excerpt from Indebted:
“Listen you little bitch, if you think you’re special just because Mattie brought you
out for a night, you better think again. He won’t even remember your name next
week, sweetheart.” She bares her teeth like she might lunge for my throat and try
to rip it out.
“Marjorie! What is going on in here?” Matthew quickly closes the gap between
us, striding over to my side and firmly placing himself between myself and his
rabid ex. His shoulders look even broader now that he’s standing up straight with
his chin squared. He narrows his eyes at her and she withers like the wicked
witch with some water poured on her.
“Nothing Mattie, I was just giving Kendra a few facts, that’s all.” She stiffens
her lip but won’t look him in the eye.
“Sounded more like a history lesson,” I reply, leaning into Matthew’s warm,
hard body for emphasis. I do a victory dance inside when he wraps his arm
around me.
“I thought I made myself clear earlier, back off Marj. I won’t ask you again.”
He hasn’t raised his voice, and yet it fills the room, making his message known to
every nook and cranny in here.”
