Obsessed With My Husband's Step-brother - Chapter 53: Chapter 53

ADONIS.
It was Brooke. I could not see her face clearly from where I stood, but I was certain it was her. The man had her pinned in a way that did not show what he was actually doing, but I’ve had enough nighttime experience to know exactly what was going on over there.
I strode towards them.
“Adonis?” I heard Jade call after me. I kept walking to their seat in the corner and soon I could hear their voices.
“Get away from me, you jerk!” Brooke’s voice was shaky. “I’ll scream.” Her face was as pale as fuck, and she was frightened as hell. She was a pretty easy prey to men like that motherfucker.
“Yes, you’ll scream, baby. But out of pleasure.” The man gripped her struggling hands with one meaty fist and wrapped his other arm around her so it looked like they were in an embrace, but he really had his palm clasped over her mouth. Her eyes widened in terror.
Just as my hand latched onto the motherfucker's jacket.
“What the-” He barely got the words out before I yanked him off Brooke and punched my fist into his eye socket, feeling the crunch of bones beneath my blow as he flew backward from the force and crashed to the ground.
He was stunned for a moment, then he began to scramble against the gleaming dark floor, holding his palms to his face, bellowing and cursing out in pain.
“Adonis!” Brooke gasped, frozen in her seat, her lipstick smudged and her hands clenched to her chest as if to stop her heartbeat that I was pretty sure was erratic right now.
I looked at her. “You okay?”
I did not get to hear a reply, because the man had started yelling out in anger and fury, glaring up at me with one eye swollen shut, red and pathetic as fuck. The surrounding skin was starting to bruise, few red blotches decorating the side of his face that received the full brunt of my fucking blow. I could have done more fucking damage.
“Who the fuck are you, huh, motherfucker?!” He roared, scrambling up to his feet. “That fucking piece of the skirt is fucking mine, you shit! I got here first, bastard!” Spittle flew from his mouth as he charged at me. My fists clenched again as deadly intent flowed through my veins, my mind already envisioning the different ways I could fuck him up so bad, he’d be astronomically fucked for the rest of his life in physical and mental aspects.
Fortunately for him, Jade suddenly appeared behind him and knocked his legs off balance and he crashed back to the floor at my feet, yelling in shock. Jade grabbed his feet and pulled him back nearly effortlessly. He was a large man but Jade’s smaller frame had more than enough strength to toss him around like a fucking pancake. He tried to swipe at her, but she landed a solid punch in his face, hitting his raised head back to the floor with a sickening thud.
“Ugh!! BITCH!” He yelled out in pain, blood trickling down his nostril.
Jade sighed and pretended to think. “I’ll give you something to yell, about, pervert.” She swung her leg in a perfect arc and in one excruciatingly powerful kick, she buried her black heeled boot inside his crotch. Something made a sickening crunch sound in there. I actually winced.
He bellowed in pure agony and turned to his side, his hands clutching his junk as his yells soon turned into loud sobs. With the racket and all, I wouldn’t be fucking surprised if we were kicked out. This side of the bar was kind of empty, and the music from the other more populated side where we had stayed could have prevented them from hearing us.
Jade placed her hands on her hips, glaring down at him with disgust. At that moment, I thought she looked hot. Then, she apparently got fed up with looking at him, so she turned to me. “I couldn’t let you have all the fun. Dealing with fuckers like him is fucking oxygen to me.” A dark smirk curved her lips.
I grinned darkly back. “He’s all yours.” Then I looked back at Brooke, she was staring at us wide-eyed, shock and fear etched onto her features. That was when I noticed how she was dressed tonight. She was dressed so differently from what I was used to seeing her in. A tight red bandage dress wrapped her body from her neck down to her upper thighs. The spaces in the dress exposed some skin and cleavage in the boob area, while most of her thighs and legs were naked down to her feet tucked in red heels.
It seemed like the kind of dress Leilani would wear. Not Brooke.
“You okay, honey?” Jade asked her, then raised her eyebrows at me when Brooke said nothing in response to her question. It seemed like she was in shock.
I sat beside her. “Did you come with your car?” She shook her head no and I looked up at Jade. “I’ll take her home, Jade. I know her.”
Jade nodded. “Good. See you later.” She poked the man who was still groaning on the floor with her foot. Then with one last look at Brooke, she turned and walked away, heeled boots clicking.
As I looked back at Brooke, I realized that she was trembling. Her face was deathly pale and her breaths were uneven. I placed a hand on a back, rubbing soothingly. “It’s okay, Brooke.”
She was so shocked and frightened, after narrowly escaping getting sexually molested by that fucker. Fuck, he had even started groping her. The calm and business-like Brooke I was used to was far away from here, all that was left was a trembling, scared Brooke I was unfamiliar with.
“I-I just came to have a little fun for once in my life…” Her voice was shaky. “Everything is going wrong and I just t-thought I could have a drink and escape, get drunk…and not t-think about anything…but…but...” She dissolved into tears and buried herself into my chest, clutching my shirt, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed.
I wrapped an arm around her, gently rubbing her arm. Her skin felt cold. My eyes fell on her red jacket on the floor and I shifted it closer with my leg and picked it with my other hand, wrapping it over her body cradled against me.
“I haven’t been to a bar alone in so long, I forgot what it’s like to get drunk with nobody with you at night.” She cried. “Everyone was too busy to come with me. I didn’t even get to drink before that asshole started groping me! Why do I only attract monsters?” Then she looked up at me with teary eyes, her cheeks wet, her expression sad and vulnerable. “Why don’t I get the one I want?”
She was talking directly about me. How I rejected her offer. Fuck.
I wasn’t sure what to say to her so I stayed silent.
Her gaze was earnest, staring at me so openly, that it was so hard to believe that this was the same guarded Brooke I’ve known all along. “Adonis.” She said quietly, trying to blink back her rushing tears. “The event is tomorrow. Please come with me.”
Silence accompanied her teary plea. I hated being put in this kind of position. Fuck. I looked back at her to meet her eyes, staring up at me hopefully. Fuck. I stifled the urge to curse out.
“I’ll come with you.”
