The saner part of his mind told him he didn't have to prove anything to anyone, even Eve. He was Lindsey Fucking McDonald, the guy who nearly screwed over the Senior Partners and had Los Angeles's former Champion doubting himself enough to cause problems. He let his actions and words do the talking.
But he was tired of people thinking he'd "settled down" or gotten soft. Even if he hadn't been raising Hell lately didn't mean it was a phase he was past. That would never be him and if she wanted to dare him, he was going to take the excuse and run with it.
And he was going to have a lot of fun doing it.
"No need to go daring anyone, sweetheart. Especially not when they can get to that point all on their own."
