She almost laughed until he hit her collarbone and instead made her moan, blinking as she tried to recall that night with Jack on the bar. "So, one night, he was really wound up. Had veins in his arms like strings that got plucked when he got angry. He drank about a quarter bottle of vodka and I had another quarter in me by the end of the night. Kinda quiet night, really. College kids were off on spring break, mostly, and the working guys all went home to their wives except Jack..."
Abi bit her lip and almost tried to struggle from his hold, "God, he was helping me clean up and kept touching me, like running his fingers down my sides or getting into my space. Then our eyes just met and he snapped. I snapped. Next thing I knew, his fingertips were pressing into my hips and he was hauling me over his lap to punish me for teasing him for the last year I'd known him."
