COLE WADED his way through the throng of people jammed into Paxton’s on a Friday night, the loud, pulsing sound of rock music reverberating through his tired body and increasing the pounding in his temples. Strobe lights flashed in time to the music in the dimly lit establishment, adding to the dull ache in his head and making it difficult for him to see beyond a few feet in front of him.

Without a doubt, Paxton’s was the happening place to be on a weekend night, but the loud, raucous atmosphere and abundant display of female flesh was more suited to Noah’s outgoing nature than Cole’s low-key personality. He preferred a quiet night at home or a casual beer at Murphy’s to the earsplitting music and the lascivious stares from the opposite sex.

Much to his chagrin, as he made his way through the crowd, women eyed him like a favorite piece of candy they wanted to unwrap and devour. Some were even bold enough to touch him as he tried to brush past in his single-minded quest to find Melodie.

The strobe lights alternately illuminated her, giving him flashing glimpses of her shiny brown hair with auburn highlights as well as a partial glimpse of the outfit she wore. The strappy dress was made of some kind of beige, stretchy, ribbed material that clung to her shape, making him wonder if she was even wearing a bra beneath the sheath. Or panties for that matter. He certainly couldn’t detect any obtrusive lines along her backside that would indicate otherwise.

Ignoring the stirring of desire smoldering to life inside him, he frowned as he caught sight of something colorful on her upper shoulder, a shape that looked suspiciously like a butterfly in flight. He blew out a deep breath as he drew the only conclusion available—she’d gotten herself a tattoo. No doubt her own personal statement of rebellion and independence.

Merging back into the crowd, he swore a colorful stream of
