"Shit!" I jerk back, wiping my eyes quickly as I try to keep my balance. "Whoa. Careful, there." Large hands steady me, and I look up and blink in surprise. The guy I slammed into is tall and broad-shouldered, dressed casually in a pair of worn jeans and a t-shirt that clings to his muscled arms. The streetlight overhead glints off themetal bar in his eyebrow as he cocks his head. His eyes are a shade of blueish-green that reminds me of the ocean, and they glitter as he looks down at me. "You okay? You had a pretty good head of steam built up there." He quirks a crooked half smile as he speaks, one side of his mouth lifting higher than the other. When he tilts his head a little, the movement shows off the bronze highlights running through his messy brown hair. My heart lurches as I realize I'm staring at him, tear tracks still drying on my face. "I'm fine," I say quickly, stepping back and out of his grip. "Sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." "Don't worry about it." He shrugs,then narrows his eyes a little as he glances at my tear-streaked cheeks. "You sure you're alright? I don't need to beat up some fucker for you, do I?"โฆ
