I braced myself ready for the impact but it never came. Joe somehow managed to get to me before I hit the floor, sliding beneath me so I fell into his lap. Sam grabbed the door before it fell on top of me, and was leaning it against the wall. I had been rescued by a bunch of men, yet again.
Before I even had chance to move Caleb had lifted me up out of Joe’s lap. He was so fast and forceful that I ended up crashing into his chest, my breath whooshing out of me in a rush.
“Don’t you dare touch her again.” He growled out at Joe, whilst I gasped for air. It had been a while since I’d been winded, I’d forgotten how uncomfortable and terrifying it could be.
“You’d rather she had fallen to the floor?” Joe grumbled, getting to his feet and brushing himself down. “I was only trying to help.”
