The moment the asshole’s hands landed on Hazel’s bare back, Sean lost the ability to think. The guy was holding her too close, and if his fingers slipped a few millimeters lower, they’d be touching her ass. “Who’s that guy dancing with Hazel?” he asked Tricia.

She narrowed her gaze. “I guess it was too much to hope I’d have your undivided attention for an entire song.”

“Shit. I’m sorry. I—”

Tricia laughed. “I’m kidding! Mostly. Jeez, Sean, if you have it so bad for Hazel, why have you been avoiding looking at her all night? I figured you two’d been in a fight.”

He frowned at her, utterly confused. “What?”

She raised a brow. “You can’t be that clueless.”

“I guess I must be. What are you talking about?”

“Wow. You’ve just made me very happy I’m not your date if you’ve no idea how you’ve been acting.”

He furrowed his brow. “How have I been acting?”

“During dinner. You spent the entire time chatting with Ian. You practically had your back to Hazel. The first time you glanced in her direction was when JT Talon was talking to her. I figured there was trouble in paradise.”

“I haven’t—” He stopped himself, thinking back over dinner, trying to remember his conversation with Hazel, but all he remembered was talking to Ian and Cressida. They’d chatted about a few of Ian’s Army buddies who couldn’t make it, and Cressida’s friend Suzanne, who was running a project on the other side of the world but had watched the ceremony in live stream.

Hazel hadn’t been part of that conversation.

Had he really ignored her the entire meal? The small wedding party had been seated on one side of a banquet table that faced the rest of the guests. Hazel had been on the end, just as Keith had been seated to Trina’s left on the other end of the table. If he’d ignored her with his back to her through the entire meal, she’d been forced to sit and stare at the assembled guests, saying nothing for…twenty, thirty minutes?

He was a complete asshole, and now everyone here knew it. Worse, Hazel had to be embarrassed and hurt.

He turned Tricia so he was facing Hazel and her dance partner. She laughed at something the guy said, and her smile was genuine. His gut clenched. He didn’t like seeing her with another man. Especially when the guy was looking at her like he hoped she’d be his dessert.

The song ended, and he thanked Tricia for the dance and debated what to do. The next song was a faster number, and Hazel and the guy broke apart as Ivy, Matt, and Julian joined them on the dance floor. Hazel took Julian’s hands and began to dance with the boy. She laughed as they twirled, and Sean went back to his seat, not wanting to interrupt her happy moment.

Seeing her dancing with such exuberance, as she had in Grand Cayman, made his heart feel lighter. She suffered from nightmares and feared losing the career that meant everything
