Chasing Me by Cat Mason Read Free Book Online Page B

though I see the train wreck my actions are causing, I can’t stop it. My eyes meet Chase’s, her hazel eyes filled with worry for me. Great! Just what I need, fucking pity. “You’re right, Tiger Lily, all the people out here love and think so much of me.” I say sarcastically, mocking her words from earlier.
    Aiden’s face presses into a hard line, while shock pours from all three girls. Mack looks to Henry as if there is some hand signal to tackle the drunk idiot as if I were a damn suicide bomber. Only person going down with this ship is me dude, calm your tits. I can feel Henry’s stare burning a hole into me.
    “Hunter,” Daisy pleads. “Don’t do this, not here.”
    “Leave him be Wildflower, he’s only hurting himself.” Gray tosses out, only adding fuel to my fire.
    “Just leave me the fuck alone until you need Cunter to prance his sexy ass on stage and woo the bitches.” I ground out. “That’s all I’m good for right?” Shoving down the hall, I have nowhere to go except the office where Chase and I were just a couple hours before.
    “What the hell was that about?” Henry storms into the room, ready to rip me a new ass. “I’m not in the mood to baby your sorry ass tonight. You’ve upset everyone, not just Cam. Grow the fuck up!” He roars, making me laugh.
    “I’m done with all of this shit.” My words echo loudly off the wall, making Henry wince. “I need some air along with a lot more booze. I’m not nearly drunk enough to handle the ‘Saturday Morning Special’ going on in there.” I blurt, shoving the back door open and storming out into the alley. Henry is behind me, like the goddamn shadow he is.
    “Hunter, you’re going back inside if I have to drag your sloshed ass by that mop you call hair to apologize. Once you do that, we can go wherever you want.” He orders, gripping my shoulder harder this time.
    Spinning around, my fist connects with his chin. As lit as I am, it doesn’t do anything more than surprise him. I am shocked I even hit the big bastard. “Piss off; I didn’t ask you to be my fucking shadow. Everyone in that motherfuckin’ room is better off without me being in there. So, no, I’m not going back in.”
    Releasing me, he nods. “Okay man, I hope you know what you’re doing.” Henry says, resigned. Without another word, I walk up the alleyway and disappear into the chaos of the Vegas Strip after dark.
    Deciding to follow the flow of foot traffic, I head up the street. Vegas at night is wild and full of trouble for a guy like me with no inhibitions or shame to get into. Too bad the last thing I am up for is a party like that. Any other time, I would be diving into a pair of tits right now to forget the bullshit. Scanning the awnings, I spot a run-down bar and duck inside away from the crowd.
    The fact that I fucked up royally isn’t lost on me. After making a scene and taking a shot at my best friend, I would deserve it if they never speak to me again. For now, though, I’m not dealing with any of it. Let the repercussions come tomorrow along with the regret and the giant hangover.
    Pulling out my wallet, I toss the stack of bills to the bar. The old man wiping down the counter raises his head, probably catching a wiff of the bank roll, and walks my way. “All my cash is yours, old timer, if you can do two things.” I say sitting on a stool. “Keep my glass full and pour my ass into a cab after the cash runs out.”
    Scooping up the wad, he smiles before shoving it in his pocket. “What’s your poison?”
    “Whiskey. The good shit and lots of it.” I mutter. He nods, grabbing a black label bottle off the shelf and fills my glass high, ending our conversation.

    “What the hell is his problem?” Aiden shouts the minute Henry walks back up the hall alone. “I should go in there and kick his ass.”
    I can’t help feeling sorry for Hunter. Yeah, that was a shitty outburst and a bad place to let the dam break, but it’s
