TESSA POV
For Moon’s sake.
The sound of that punch still echoed in my ears. One clean hit—one perfectly timed hit—and Tyler’s nose had exploded like a ripe berry.
I groaned, pinching the bridge of my nose, half in disbelief and half because my heart was pounding so damn fast. “For Moon’s sake, Gunter. Really?”
He turned to me, all calm and smug, like the blood splattered across the floor wasn’t a big deal. “What?”
I gestured around us, my voice sharp but trembling somewhere between irritation and… something else. “There’s blood everywhere! The floor, the box, the door—ugh, we just cleaned this place up!”
He shrugged, so casual I wanted to scream—and kiss him at the same time. “Sorry, babe. But he deserved it.”
Of course he did. That wasn’t the point.
Except… it kind of was.
