Calum wasn’t sure what was happening between them, but, three dances in and Mandy allowed him to pull her against him and he was starting to reconsider his plan.

He was going to seduce her to his way of thinking? He thought that perhaps he was the one being seduced … straight into madness.

Holding Mandy in his arms was likely to make him crazed!

The softness of her skin, the scent of her hair, the feel of her stomach against him.

When she looked up, her dark eyes liquid and shining in the low light of the room, his brain shut down, and all he wanted in life was to lean forward and kiss her. Deeply.

The thought of getting slapped for his efforts was the only thing stopping him from doing so.

He didn’t want Mandy disappointed in him, but swore that if they were around a Scottish fire at the moment, he’d ease her back into the woods, and nothing would stop him from pulling her close, taking her lips with his and … and …

He took a deep breath and a step back in the same moment. He grasped her hand and led her off the dance floor and back to their table. When he helped her into her seat, she smiled up at him and, again, it was all he could do not to snatch her up, carry her off, and do things to her that would have a broadsword at his back and a priest at his front before the sun rose.

Hmm.

He literally stood frozen in place above her as his brain told him that his idea was a fine one, very fine, indeed, and that he should carry it out forthwith.

“What is it?”

Her words snapped him out of whatever madness held him in its grip and he took a step back. “I’ll refresh yer drink,” he said, and turned to stride away before he could make a fool of himself.

He blew out a gust of air and went to the bar, waiting at one end for his turn. Jimmy and another man he didn’t know were kept busy taking orders and fixing drinks and Calum was fine with marking time because it gave him a chance to cool off and collect himself.

Dancing was now out. He’d thought she’d be the one to tire of the pastime first, given her condition, but his heart would soon fail him if he didn’t keep his distance.

By the time Jimmy asked what he wanted and they’d finished their transaction, Calum was feeling more himself again.

Carefully carrying the two drinks through the crowd and back to the table, he’d almost arrived when he saw the man, thick blonde hair hanging down to hide his features, sitting across from Mandy, their heads bent close together as they spoke.

Possessiveness such as he’d never known flooded through him as he crossed the distance, moving around a couple, and then another before reaching the table.

He set the glasses down with a snap and glared at the other man as the two of them sat back.
