Chapter 14

Douglas went to the bar to get them all another round of drinks while Patrick took the two women out onto the dance floor. While he waited for the bartender to make the drinks, he turned and placed his back against the bar, giving himself a clear view of Toni.

He couldn’t take his eyes off her. She danced in such an effortless and sexy way. And that dress of hers! His fingers had been aching to trace the boundaries, and slip beneath, to test and see if her skin was as soft as it appeared to be. The dress was murder on his libido, accentuating her firm breasts and slim waist.

When Patrick gave him a knock with his elbow, he jolted back to his surroundings, surprised to see his brother standing next to him and not on the dance floor. “I thought you were dancing?”

“I figured I’d come help you carry the drinks to a table. You really have it bad for her, don’t you?”

Douglas suddenly felt very vulnerable. Have I been that obvious? You have to get it together man. Stop thinking about her that way.

At that same moment, Douglas observed a tall twenty-something guy reeking of testosterone and money approached Toni to dance with her. When he casually touched her shoulder, it was enough to have Douglas seeing red.

Nobody is touching my woman! The rational part of his brain was trying to tell the emotional part that he was being unreasonable. But his emotional part won and he stomped onto the dance floor, making a beeline for Toni.

When he was within a few feet, he suddenly realized what he was doing and stopped, feeling stupid. He had no idea what he was going to say to her and turned to leave, when the guy pressed Toni against his chest.

Why does he have to do that? He can dance with her without snuggling up like that.

His patience snapped and he tapped the guy on the shoulder. When the guy stared at him, the words tumbled out of his mouth, “Sorry to interrupt, but she’s with me.”

The other guy quickly fumbled through an apology and disappeared, leaving him standing in the middle of the dance floor with Toni glaring at him.

“Why did you do that?” she asked, daggers shooting from her eyes.

Because I’m a jealous fool, that’s why. But he couldn’t admit that to her so he looked for another plausible excuse for his behavior. “It looked like he was grabbing you.”

Is that amusement I see in her eyes? He figured it was probably his imagination because just as quick as it occurred, it changed to anger. Directed at him. Again.

“I can very well take care of myself. Thank you.” With those words, she turned on her heel and stomped off, leaving a very confused Douglas standing in the middle of the dance floor. Alone.

He didn’t stay that way for long. Before he could follow her, three very pretty Malaysian girls wearing ungodly short skirts sidled up to him, dancing their sexiest around him in a very clear attempt to hit on him.
