Gabe turned his head, scanning the yard around him. Trent and Lauren’s engagement party turned out to be small and intimate, less than fifty people or so, mostly family and close friends, but Trent’s parents had gone all out. A live local band played what sounded like jazz. Across the lawn a buffet table and a makeshift bar had been set up. He and the guys were seated around a small table in the backyard. Trent, Marcus, and Mike were discussing their latest project at the shop.

Gabe couldn’t concentrate worth a damn. Steph had been in his peripheral all evening. No matter how much he tried to stay focused on the guys’ conversation, his gaze invariably ended up back on her. She, Lauren, and Mandy, along with half a dozen others, were currently out in the designated dance space, set up beyond the band, chatting and watching them play.

He couldn’t stop soaking her in. She looked phenomenal. Her long dress skimmed her curves and fell to her ankles, sexy without revealing anything. She didn’t appear to have panty lines, and the thought that she might not be wearing any panties made his cock ache.

The music changed, moving from upbeat to soft, slow strains that brought to mind making love.

“That’s my cue, gentlemen. Maybe a whirl around the dance floor with my girl will help get rid of this damn headache.” Trent pushed out of his seat, giving them a two-fingered salute before making his way toward the crowd.

Out on the dance floor, couples paired off. Steph turned and made her way to the buffet table. There, she picked up a flute of champagne and stood watching the couples with an almost wistful expression.

Marcus nudged Gabe’s elbow, jerking him from his perusal. “Man, if you don’t go ask her to dance, I’m going to. A woman that beautiful should not have to watch from the sidelines.”

Marcus had a point, of course. Not once in the last two hours had he stopped thinking about Molly’s suggestion. Being in the same space with Steph provided a temptation he only just managed to resist. But he still had no desire to use her as his stepping-stone. Dating was one thing. Steph was entirely another.

He shook his head. He’d just make an ass of himself. “I couldn’t find a groove if you handed me one.”

Marcus pushed to his feet, making clucking noises under his breath as he walked toward the buffet table. Steph faced him as he came to a stop beside her. He extended his left hand, which she accepted with a gentle smile and a nod, and he led her toward the couples already gathered.

It wasn’t until Marcus pulled her close that the green-eyed monster finally made its appearance. He knew damn well Marcus was goading him. As he swayed her around in a circle, Marcus pulled her a little too close, tossing Gabe an arrogant wink over her shoulder as he settled his grubby paws on her lower back. Just above her ass.
