Al couldn't be entirely certain, but she was pretty sure Rex was the equivalent of fly paper for single women. Kayla had nabbed a table before Al arrived, and they'd seated themselves in the middle of the hubbub. The rest of the seats were periodically occupied and vacated by a revolving cast of characters. Everyone in town seemed driven to make an appearance at some point, though this could be as much due to the bar tab as the prodigal son sentiment that Kayla delighted in repeating.

Rex never joined them, but she could feel his eyes on her like she was lit by searchlights. Could everyone tell they were sleeping together? Not if the gaggle of women surrounding him was any indication. Maybe, Al thought bitterly, they could somehow tell from her inability to look away from him for long that he was not only good-looking but also a phenomenal lay. Maybe she was giving off some kind of sexually satisfied pheromone, unintentionally laying a strip of lights to him like guiding an aeroplane to ground. We are now coming in to land at Castlereagh, please remain seated until the seatbelt sign has been switched off. Then all bets are off, drape yourself across the man in blatant sexual invitation. She wasn't proud of the jealousy that twisted in her belly, though logically she knew she had no claim on him. They hadn't even had the conversation about sleeping with other people—what if he decided to bring someone home to her house tonight?

The violent response in her belly all but launched her up to the bar for another round, needing something to douse the flame.

She murmured hellos to people she'd seen at work just hours ago and waited for someone to serve her as the staff tried frantically to keep up with the pace of their patrons. Then the heat of Rex was at her back. He didn't speak to her, didn't touch her, but somehow she knew it was him. And her jealousy leaped even higher now, as he signalled for two beers from a bartender who had still yet to serve Alannah.

Who else is he buying drinks for? She tried not to ask herself the jealous question, but she did anyway, running a film reel of faces through her mind, women who had happened to be hanging off Rex's body each time Al lost the fight not to look at him. To spite the voice in her head that asked why she cared whether he bought drinks for anyone else, she didn't even turn to look at him, instead focusing on steadying the pulse that she felt thrumming through her veins. She felt his gaze fixing there with the precision of a man who had spent considerable time exploring her body and knew where to find undeniable proof that she was worked up.

Finally, someone filled her order, but his body blocked her as she tried to step away with the tray. "Excuse me," Al muttered, not meeting Rex's eyes.
