“Tom.” The guy reached out his hand, and a few others did the same. “I’ve been following your podcast.”
“Oh, yeah?” Jacob asked. “Thoughts?”
Blake tuned out and let his gaze rest on Bella. He felt Knox watching, but the guy wasn’t her fucking father and needed to back off.
God, it was worse than watching Logan and Aidan with Amelia.
“Hi,” he said.
“Hi.” She smiled. “I didn’t know you would be here.”
“I didn’t know you had such a protective family. And...” Blake took another sip of his drink, casting his eyes around the group of men. Many of which were watching Bella like she was a sizzling Rib Eye. He turned slightly, closing in on her body. “Have I missed something? Are you on auction tonight or have these men recently been recovered from stowaway island?”
Bella choked on her drink, and he handed her a napkin.
Cough, cough.
“No.” She coughed again, clearing her throat. Then added a nervous laugh. “Why would you say that?”
He narrowed his eyes.
She was a terrible liar.
Something was up and he was going to find out.
“Blake, I’m not,” she said, laying a hand on his arm and his eyes snapped to hers.
Jesus.
The fire between them was still there, maybe even stronger.
“Bell,” her brother called. “I’ve got some more people I want you to meet.”
Guilt filled her eyes briefly, then they lowered, and she turned. “Sorry, I have to go. It was nice seeing you again, Blake.”
“Stop,” he said before he knew what he was doing. She stilled, drawing in a wobbly, silent breath.
But he saw it.
He saw the fire flash across her green eyes.
Blake glanced over her head at Knox and saw a powerful determination on his face. He wasn’t leaving his sister alone with him, and she was in agreement.
What the hell?
Possession sliced through him with such intensity he felt it in every cell of his body.
“Come home with me again tonight.” Blake encouraged, watching a rose-colored flush creep over her cheeks and down to her breasts.
She was remembering.
Fuck, he was tempted to order her, but without knowing what was at stake here, Blake held back.
That didn’t change the fact that none of these men here could make her feel like he had. They didn’t know what she needed.
They didn’t know his single request, a tone away from a command, had wet her panties and that she was clenching her pussy, wishing his hand would slide under her skirt and rub her clit until she screamed.
“I can’t,” Bella said with a flash of regret. Then she spun, looped her arm through Knox’s, and walked away.
