Free Brett and Hannah (Soul Mates 101 Series) by Scarlet Wolfe Page A

friends while he went to get a beer. The kegs outside were right by the back door of the house.
    Don’t g o inside, don’t go inside, don’t go inside.  
    Brett paced in front of the kegs of beer. After a few minutes passed, he couldn’t take it any longer.
    I have to see her beautiful face and make sure she’s safe.
    Brett entered the house and started maneuvering through the crowd of people crammed inside . When he walked into the family room, he spotted her, and a wave of jealousy washed over him when he saw her pinned between a guy and the wall. He’d never seen the dude but knew instantly from his body language that he was after Hannah.
    Brett was beside himself over how sexy she appeared. He couldn’t comprehend how she could be more beautiful every time he saw her. His body heated from anger when he saw her smile at the guy. There were two entrances to the family room, and Hannah was near the one at the opposite end of the room as Brett.
    He was about to go outside to keep from causing a scene, but when he saw Hannah walk out of t he room alone, he followed her. He felt it was his chance to apologize.
    “Hannah.”
    She kept walking.
    “Hannah Ray. I know you hear me.”
    She spun around when she reached the kitchen.
    “You don’t get to call me that , just like you don’t get to touch me. If I remember correctly, I told you to leave me alone—for good.”
    “Maybe I don’t want to leave you alone anymore.”
    “Did you just hear the word you used at the beginning of that sentence? ‘Maybe’. I don’t have time for maybes, Brett.”
    “You know there’ s something going on between us that we need to talk about. I know what I’ve been doing to you, and it was wrong. I’m sorry.”
    “Go find the brunette you were with , and leave me the hell alone,” she said harshly as tears started welling up in her turquoise eyes.
    “I don’t care about her. I care about you, Hannah. Who’s that guy in there talking to you?”
    “His name is Jordan, but it’s really none of your business. I don’t think he’s into evil mind games like someone else I know.”
    Nick walked up to them.
    “Hey, you need to leave her alone.”
    “No, you better leave us alone. We’re having a conversation,” Brett said, barely glancing at the man before his eyes went back to Hannah. He realized it was the guy from the pool.
    Two guys now. This night is going to end badly with someone else getting hurt.
    “Hannah, do you want me to leave you alone with him?” Nick asked.
    “No, Nick, I don’t want to talk to him,” she said as she reached for his hand and walked out of the kitchen.
    Brett thought his head was going to explode. Between the alcohol and the wrath he was feeling, he knew it was the night he’d see blood. Wanting reinforcements, he went back outside to find his friends.
    He saw Austin and Chelsea sitting on the stone ledge but didn’t see the brunette he’d been talking to anywhere. He figured she’d given up on him. Matt, Dylan and Cody were talking to four girls.
    “I need to talk to you, Matt,” Brett said as he interrupted them.
    “What, bro? No, let me guess. You saw Hannah?”
    “She’s with two different dudes in there who I can tell want their hands on her.”
    “Are you telling me you don’t want your hands on her?”
    “When you say it like that, I see what you’re getting at, but this is different. I want to talk to her about us seeing each other.”
    “Brett, you’r e trashed. Did you hear anything I said today? If you’re not going to date her, then leave her alone.”
    “But I said I want to date her.”
    Matt sighed. “Yeah, and I don’t think while your drunk is the best time to make that decision. You’ll tell her that now, and then tomorrow when you’re sober you’ll dump her. I’m losing my patience over your erratic behavior, bro.”
    When Brett realized he was getting nowhere with Matt, he went to Austin and Chelsea.
    “Chelsea, I need your help with
