Matty

Shit, shit, shit. What the hell was wrong with him? Why had he kissed her like that? He gazed out to the darkness of the bay as they walked along the wharf while keeping watch out for her ex. He had no business doing so.

Remember what Derek said.

Right, no sleeping with his sister. As if Matty would ever forget those fantasy-killing words.

But damn, he’d never been so drawn to anyone before. And Jenna’s hand felt so right in his.

He repeated the explanation he’d been trying to sell himself for days.

It’s just your protector role going into overdrive because you’ve known her for a long time. And care for her.

Ha. That didn’t explain the urge to kiss her. Luckily, he came up with that lame-ass excuse of selling it as part of their act. She had seemed to be caught up in that kiss as much as he was, but then went along with his crap of an explanation to dismiss it as part of the act.

He’d never forget the passion in her eyes. She appeared flustered by his action—and hell, so was he. But it was better this way. He had to keep his mind on the task to look out for Jenna—not make moves on her.

They waited in line for a few minutes outside the club. Each time someone opened the door, the music flooded out. It sounded like a cover band playing the Rolling Stones.

Once they showed their IDs and entered the dimly lit room crowded with patrons, he surveilled the interior searching both for her ex and any other potential threats. He was programmed that way, to search for danger. Would that be a lifelong trait?

The cover band switched into the Stones’ Satisfaction. They weren’t that great, but tolerable.

He faced Jenna. “What can I get you? A Prosecco?”

“How about a sangria this time?”

“Adding fruit?” He winked. “Living on the edge.”

He turned to the bar and waited for his turn. Once again, he scanned the people nearby like a damn surveillance camera, even though this was Newport, Rhode Island, and not some of the dangerous locales where the American military was considered the enemy.

Once he paid for their drinks, he led them to the back of the bar. He didn’t want to get too close to the stage and have his ears assaulted by the volume of the music, so he suggested a spot near the back. With the crowd packed tightly, he moved behind her, placing a protective hand on her side.

He might be taking their subterfuge too far, but she smelled good. So close to her, he breathed in her scent. That hint of roses that reminded him of something sensual yet innocent.

When the band started playing Wild Horses, Jenna swayed slightly with the music. He felt her movements through his hand, which he still hadn’t pulled away. It felt comfortable. Like a silent promise that he’d take care of her. That he wouldn’t let anybody hurt her.

And maybe, it signaled a warning to every other guy in the club to stay away.
