hospital visit.”
    “Sorry I’m not a healing dragon, or I’d just take care of all your injuries with ease.”
    She cocked her head. “There are such things as healing dragons?”
    He just lifted his lip in a smile. “Sure.”
    Becca rolled her eyes. “You’re never gonna show me what you look like, are you?”
    He raised a pierced brow. “Maybe one day.”
    She let him put a Band-Aid on her finger, and then they got back to work. She was just about to finish her last table when she dropped the check. As she reached down to pick it up, the hard pinch on her ass surprised her.
    “What the fuck?” she yelled as she turned to face the sleazy man in a business suit and loosened tie.
    “Just feeling the goods. If you didn’t want to be touched, you shouldn’t have flaunted that sweet ass or those fuckable tits in front of me.”
    Becca blinked, surprised by his crude words. Sure, she’d dealt with pricks before, but they weren’t usually so blatant after they got caught.
    “Excuse me?”
    “Why don’t you come sit on my lap, and I’ll show you what I mean.” He gripped his crotch, and Becca resisted the urge to vomit.
    She flashed back to the time when another man had been over her and Hunter had saved her.
    She wasn’t in that position now though, and she’d be damned if she’d let the man get away with it.
    “Get out of here. Now.”
    “You don’t own this place, bitch.”
    “No, but I do,” Dante growled from behind her. “Want me to take care of this, Becs?”
    She shook her head. “No. I can deal with it.”
    “Oh yeah, baby? You’re gonna deal with it?” He rubbed his cock through his pants, and Becca swallowed down the bile that rose in her throat.
    Seriously? This dude had to be out of his mind.
    He reached out again, and she punched the bastard in the nose. Blood spurted, and he screamed like the pussy he was.
    “You bitch! I’m gonna sue you!”
    “No, you aren’t,” she said calmly. “You’re gonna walk out of here and get in a cab and never come back. If you try to sue, I’ll charge you with harassment and assault.”
    Dante crossed his large forearms across his chest and glared. “I don’t see why you don’t charge him now.”
    “Then I’d have to see him again. Get out.”
    He stumbled out the door, and Becca’s shoulders sank. “Gods, I’m tired.”
    “Go home, Becs. I’ll clean your section.” Dante brought her into a hug that reminded her she had friends she could lean on if needed.
    “Thanks. I’m whipped, and I still have to finish that paper tonight.”
    “Jason coming over to help with that?” Dante asked, his voice oddly emotionless.
    Becca frowned. “No, I don’t think so. It’s not like it’s an exam, and why are you looking like that? It’s not like Jason and I ever dated.”
    Plus the dude was creepy to be alone with for too long, but she wasn’t about to tell Dante that. The last thing she needed was her study partner roasted on a spit as her dragon friend smiled with glee.
    “Be careful. Just because your wolf is back in his Pack dealing with his disappearance doesn’t mean he won’t kill a man for touching what’s his.”
    That brought her hackles up. “Excuse me? You’ve got to be kidding me. I’m no man’s property. Hunter isn’t here, and since he hasn’t even spoken to me in a month, I’ll refrain from thinking the wolf has any dibs on me.”
    “Becca, some things are done to keep those we care about safe, not because we necessarily want to do them.”
    Becca frowned, thinking Dante wasn’t talking about just her and Hunter now.
    “I don’t care right now. I’m going home and writing then going to bed. It’s been a little too much for me today.” 
    Okay sure, she’d only had to deal with a couple drunks, cutting her hand, and the spider from hell, but she was just too tired to deal with it right now.
    Dante nodded then walked to the back of the bar. “I’ll take care of that wee little spider for you too.”
    She
