The thought of sleeping with Pete made my stomach roll. If I thought the day had gotten to the lowest it could, I had been mistaken. This was by far worse. Even if Charlie hadn’t been in my life, I was never attracted to Pete in any way, especially if he was using my brother as leverage to get in my bed.
My mind raced about, trying to think of how to get out of the situation with everyone unscathed. But the panic was too real to get a good grasp on any one idea that would work. .
Before I could come up with a reply to reveal my loathing of the suggestion, Alan wrested free from Pete’s thugs. None of them moved quickly from the surprise move. Alan jerked to one side and tackled one of the men. They fell to the ground with a thud. Lost in the shadows, I could only see their feet moving about as they wrestled and tried to get a punch at the other one.
