fun for old time’s sake.” The back of his hand grazed my bare shoulder.
    My sweat turned into icicles all over my body as he stepped closer. “Casey, I’m not interested, and I’m here with someone,” I lied.
    “Can’t see him.” He leaned in to whisper in my ear. “And your mouth must miss my cock. What do you say, Sam? One more BJ won’t hurt anyone.” He pulled my hand down to his crotch to feel the limp muscle.
    I drew my arm back as if I was burned by fire. “You’re drunk.” I pushed at his chest, but he forced himself even closer.
    What did I ever see in this guy?
    “Oh, come on. You know you want to.” He grabbed the back of my neck and began pulling my head down toward his crotch.
    I was forced off my seat and, following my instinct, felt my knee connect with his groin.
    He doubled over, and I was sure I’d bruised my knee and killed a few million of his swimmers.
    “You bitch!” He swung his arm at me.
    I closed my eyes, ready for the impact, but it never came. Instead, I smelled Cupid’s sweet musk mixed with cinnamon and opened my eyes.
    “You dare raise your hand at her?” Gabe held Casey’s wrist, slowly bending it back, making him lower to his knees.
    “The cunt kneed me!” He gritted through his teeth, holding onto his crotch.
    Gabe’s arm rippled as he put Casey in his place. “She should have castrated you. Apologize!” He forced Casey’s arm back until a yelp of pain escaped his throat.
    “Fine. I’m sorry.”
    Gabe let go of Casey’s arm. “I see you near her again, and you won’t call yourself a boy anymore.”
    Casey slowly squirmed up off his knees, the pain on his face growing with each movement.
    “Are you all right?” Gabe smoothed the back of his hand over my cheek.
    My body trembled. “Yes.”
    A shadow moved behind Gabe’s head as Casey swung his arm.
    “Watch out!” I screamed, but Gabe was already moving before Casey’s punch connected with his head.
    My P.I. knocked Casey in the gut.
    With all the air knocked out of him, the dweeb bent over.
    Gabe waved at a couple of bouncers who rushed at his command. “Get this jerk out of here and make sure he never shows his face again.”
    They dragged Casey away, his eyes rolling back in their sockets.
    I threw my hands around Gabe’s neck and melted into him. “You’re here.”
    He wrapped his arms around me. “Shh, it’s okay. He’s not going to touch you again. No one will.”
    I leaned against him, his strong body calming the trembles. Gabe stroked my back and kissed the top of my head. And I felt like I could stay in his arms for as long as I wanted and he wouldn’t budge.
    “How did you know he was going to hit you?” I asked, finally pulling away.
    “Mirrors.” Gabe pointed to the bar where shelved bottles were reflected.
    “How are you here? I thought you were traveling.”
    “I came back early. This evening’s meeting was cancelled, and I wanted to surprise you.” He leaned in close and whispered, “I couldn’t wait to see what you’re wearing under that dress.”
    I bit my lip. “Take a wild guess.”
    Gabe kissed my earlobe. “Nothing?”
    I giggled. “No, but that can be arranged.” I wasn’t sure what made me feel so at ease when Gabe was around. I hadn’t felt this safe and important in a long time.
    “Good.”
    “How was your trip?”
    “Not something I want to discuss.” His eyes glossed over with worry.
    “I’m a good listener.”
    “I may need to take you up on that, but not tonight. I’ve heard you’re a good dancer.” He pulled away and twirled me in a circle.
    “This is still not a date.” My fingers weaved with his.
    “Of course not. It’s just two friends bumping into each other.”
    “Thank you for standing up for me.”
    “You have nothing to thank me for, Sam. I just wish I had been there earlier so he wouldn’t have touched you at all. Was that your old boyfriend?”
    “Yes, we dated a while.” I rolled my eyes like he didn’t know. By this
