His being a cop was his major advantage in this one. It wasn't really about the size of the dog in the fight .. but the ability of the dog to read the other dog in the fight. Tyler's cop instincts were slightly more honed than Lynnie's own, so she should have realized he'd see it coming when she brought her arm up to punch him. His cop instincts could save him the extra cheap shot, sure, but they still couldn't save the venom that was spitting from those striking green eyes of hers.

Furious, she found herself being pinned up against the wall, and really, for Shaelyn, fucking was the last thing on her mind right then. Kneeing him where it hurt ranked among the top three things on her mind. So did stomping on his foot with her own. Luckily, for Tyler, she did neither, but only because she wasn't to the point of fury where she wanted to injure him that badly. Black and blue his face up, sure. But break his foot or cripple him in the way only a man could be crippled? Nah.

"Really?!" She kept up with the biting sarcasm, her tone going incredulously questioning. "I hadn't figured that part out. I mean, God knows you're stupid enough to brave getting kicked in the balls to come here. I meant why are you here for me, you .." She almost growled out something she'd regret later, her chin raised in defiance as she glared at him. "Anchor. You want to anchor me? Marriage this, marriage that." Well, now she was just rambling, but at least it was better than throwing out expletives.

Wriggling a little bit, she attempted to get enough space to be able to elbow him in his ribcage, but that was to little avail, so she finally gave up and just, stared. Her lips were curled in a half sneer, but mostly, she just stood there, as still as a rock. Her jaw was clenched tight, as though she were trying to hold back from saying anything worse than she already had.

But, to be fair to Shaelyn, she had warned him about her .. mercurial tendencies. At least he couldn't claim ignorance.
