TRAVIS KNEW the dance had disconcerted her. He didn’t give a damn. Dancing with her had done something to him. Something that made him want to prolong having her attention on him. Something had changed from the casual flirting and fun he’d originally had in mind with her, to being something more.

Lacy was extra vulnerable tonight--damned beautiful, sexy, alluring, intriguing, maddening. A woman, and one that he so wanted to touch. One he wanted to figure out, even if it took him forever to do it.

The hint of vulnerability and mistrust in the big green eyes staring up at him had him not doing what he wanted.

But that didn’t mean he wanted to turn her over to her friends, either.

“Seriously? Trav…I have to go…What do you want?”

“You have to ask?” He stopped right next to the wall. They could still hear the orchestra playing, but had some privacy. “Your perfume is nice.”

“Are you trying to charm me?” She arched her head back, until her eyes met his. Travis couldn’t help himself, he had to touch again. He ran a light finger over the softness of her neck. Lacy McGareth had the softest, softest skin… “It won’t work.”

But he’d felt her shiver at his touch. Travis smiled. She was aware of him, wasn’t she? Just as aware of him as he was of her.

Travis leaned down to taste that theory, just as the sounds of a heated argument erupted near the pool.

She yanked out of his arms and started toward the sound. “Jilly!”

Travis followed. First, because he wasn’t about to let her get between two people arguing. Second, because the man arguing with Jillian Beck was none other than his brother Rafe.

“Leave them alone. They’ll figure things out.”

“He’s yelling at her.”

“She’s yelling right back at him.” And she was. Something about Rafe being an ogre with a stethoscope shoved up his…rear.

Jillian Beck apparently had a very inventive temper.

There was fear on Lacy’s face. That stopped Travis in his tracks. Lacy was afraid. Genuinely afraid that his brother was going to hurt her little friend. Travis turned her to look up at him, as the truth started to sink in. Someone, a man, had seriously hurt this woman in the past, hadn’t he?

Travis pushed the anger away. She was right in front of him. And safe. He would keep her that way. “He’s not going to hurt her, Lacy. I promise. Rafe wouldn’t ever hurt a woman. Hell, he wouldn’t even pound on me because I was smaller than him as a kid. He won’t hurt her.”

He kept his hands on her, to keep her from barging over there.

But it wasn’t necessary. Jillian Beck could apparently take care of herself, even at elf-sized and against his giant-sized ogre brother.

Travis had an inkling what the redhead was planning only seconds before his idiot brother hit the surface of the water.

Jillian stormed away, but not before grabbing the brunette woman’s hand and pulling her along behind.

Travis hadn’t even realized Ariella was there behind Jillian and Rafe.
