Seno caressed her back. “Every time,” he whispered.
She stepped from their hold and smoothed out her dress.
“Well, it was very nice meeting you. Glad you have a whole scheme and plan to hook up with some unknowing female. “
She started to leave, not missing the disappointed expressions on Hunter’s and Seno’s faces.
Justice took her hand. “Hey, don’t leave. Stay and talk. We didn’t mean to come on too strong.”
She smiled. “I need to find my friends. Besides, it would never work out.”
“Why not?” Mace asked.
“I don’t date.” She walked away, and as she did, she couldn’t help to feel disappointed. She liked them. That was a first, liking more than one guy at once, and in turn it had her looking back over her shoulder. She nearly lost her footing as she saw all four men staring at her walking away. She felt herself shaking, concerned about how she looked in the dress, and wondering why she allowed Donella to talk her into wearing this dress. With fears from her past, and her intense need to remain in control and not affected in any way by a man, she straightened her shoulders and prayed for confidence. She was used to hiding her fears, even from her friend. So she did what any single, attractive woman in this type of situation should do. She walked as sexy and casual as possible and hoped that she didn’t just miss out on one hell of an opportunity. A disappointed feeling consumed her. When will the fear I have lessen? Why can’t I just move on, and take a chance?

“Wow, she is gorgeous. A petite little thing, too,” Seno said and then took a sip of his beer.
“Tough, too. Sure didn’t fall for your little play, Justice. That’s a first,” Mace stated and they chuckled.
“I guess I came on too strong.” He looked around to where she had disappeared.
“I think you did,” Hunter said with an attitude.
Seno looked at Hunter. He definitely was attracted to Ellie. Hell, they all were. But his attitude was where their issues started.
“I liked her, too. I think we need to find out more about her,” Mace suggested.
“That will be simple. We’ll ask Sam. He’ll know. Seems like he and his brothers may be interested in Ellie’s friend. It was Moira, right?” Justice asked.
“Yes,” Seno replied.
“Well then, to finding out more about Ellie.” He raised his mug of beer.
“To hoping she doesn’t throw a drink in one of our faces,” Seno said, and they laughed and then clanked their mugs together before taking sips.
Seno smiled as he looked around the bar and spotted Ellie talking with her friends. He couldn’t help but feel some bit of hope that they met Ellie together tonight, and they all liked her. If fate sent her their way again, he would personally make certain to leave a lasting impression.
A short time later, Seno noticed a guy, Hartford, was standing mighty close to Ellie. He watched his hand move around the chair she stood by and then go to her waist. Ellie side stepped away, but Hartford moved closer again.
“What are you staring at looking so pissed about?” Justice asked.
“In about two seconds, I’m going to go over there and give that guy a piece of my mind. His hand keeps moving closer and closer to her ass. What the hell?”
Seno saw Hartford touch Ellie’s hair as he placed his hand on her waist again. He was about to go over there, but his brothers stopped him.
“Look, she’s pushing his hand away and saying something to him. She’s not interested in him.” Mace added.
Seno continued to watch her, feeling possessive, even though he had no right to be.
“We’re going to get to know her. I say, if our paths cross again, we ask her out on a date.”
“Well duh, of course we will. It’s not every day you meet a woman that can grab the attention of four brothers, especially when one of the brothers is adamant about meeting a woman.” Justice said.
“She’s special. I just know she is.”
