CHAPTER 4

Emily’s heart pounded, spiking the pain in her head. Yet, a strange awareness of the men around her made her long for something unnamed. The door slowly fell away from the cart and flopped into place. The only sound was the heavy breathing from the men around her, coupled with her own.

Brandon’s hand tightened around her waist. His masculine scent… Her head spun and a thrilling warmth spread to her core. She licked her lips, and against her will, a soft moan escaped.

“Hey, pretty lady.” The beer guy in the sweatshirt set down his stash and approached, with a wide grin.

“Not so fast.” His buddy gripped his arm, stopping him in his tracks. “She doesn’t want you. Her eyes are on me.”

Only because he’d spoken. A chill ran down her neck.

“Who’s your friend, Brandon?” Travis’s smile widened, and his gaze raked over her body.

Brandon pulled her closer, and her hand landed on his pec. Even through his shirt, a spark like an electric current tingled over her fingers and up her arm. The sudden urge to kiss him overwhelmed her. Focusing on his plump lips, a haze settled over her mind.

“She’s with me.” Brandon’s voice came out low, controlled, menacing.

His mouth was set, a tic pulsed in his jaw, and his eyes…they burned with an intensity she’d only ever seen when he’d been on the Lacrosse field in the midst of a game. He reacted this way because of her. Emily’s chest expanded. A mixture of trepidation and need welled inside her, both fighting for dominance. The combined emotions made her dizzy.

“Let’s let her decide, shall we?” The guy in the sweatshirt took a step forward.

Brandon tensed, his muscles rock hard beneath her hand. She opened her mouth to speak, but only a squeak came out. What could she say? That they’d all been sprayed by a love potion? Who would believe that?

She bit her lip and raised her chin. “I’m with him. Brandon is my boyfriend.” The lie slipped from her lips.

He pulled her even closer, their bodies melding. “That’s right. She’s my girlfriend.”

Travis shook his head, and glanced behind him, into the store. “I…I’ve got work to do.” His gaze moved from her eyes to her breasts and back again. Then, he pushed his empty cart into the aisle and around the bend. What work did he have to do without any merchandise?

The two others picked up their beer and their clearance items. Both held their ground and neither seemed willing to leave, yet neither appeared to want to take on Brandon. The man in the sweatshirt flipped his hood over his head. He focused on Brandon. “You’re a lucky guy.”

“Indeed, I am.” Brandon relaxed, his grip around her waist loosening just a bit.

The men turned to leave. Sweatshirt guy glanced behind him one last time. He met her gaze, and the longing in his eyes made her heart ache.

Brandon ran his fingers down the side of her face and pulled her attention to him. “Hey, you okay?”

She relaxed against him, the tension draining from her shoulders.
