“Damn right I do,” he mumbled, fighting a grin. “Especially
if someone is messing with my girl..” As she pulled away
from their kiss, he nuzzled his face into the crook of her
neck, pressing his lips to the skin before letting out a soft
sigh. No one was going to hit on his Pear. Except him, of
course. Alex allowed her to lean forward, loosening his
grip on her just enough so she could move. “All mine, huh?
I like the sound of that..”

Peri kind of liked how protective Alex could be. Mostly
because it was just enough. She didn’t want to strangle
him every other second like some people she could think
of. She couldn’t suppress a tiny whine when he pressed
his lips to her neck. “That’s not fair at all. Stop it.” She
smirked at him, nodding her head. “Oh, yeah, I’m sure you do."
