“If you’re in heat, Vine, why not find yourself a mate? It’s unsightly when you’re trying to get your dirty paws on somebody else’s wife!” He rudely confronted Maximus Vine.
“Oh, I already found her.” He replied with confidence, then added “She’s just in a bind as of the moment and I’m still getting things in order, as requested by someone important to both of us.”
Hearing that Maximus Vine has someone that important to him made my heart sank. For one foolish moment I wished that it was me.
“Then keep your paws on that heiress or bitch, for all I care!” Cain callously said.
I saw Maximus Vine’s eyes take a dangerous glint.
“You might want to keep your loose mouth in check, Mr. Rockford most especially when you’re speaking about somebody else’s special someone.” He gravely warned Cain.
“What? You’ll slug me?” Cain challenged him.
“If not for Miss Serena’s presence, I would” Maximus Vine honestly answered.
“Are you hitting on my wife?” Cain asked hotly.
“No.” Maximus Vine answered.
My stupid heart once again made a painful tug, but Maximus Vine’s next words were something I never expected.
“Not yet, at least.” He brazenly told Cain.
“Stay away from my wife!” Cain warned him.
