on her way home. Away from here. Away from him and his Fringe friends.
    If Fry found out who she was, he’d never hear the end of it.
    Come to think of it, he hadn’t heard from Fry at all last night. No texts, no calls asking where he’d gotten to. Maybe his buddy had gotten lucky too. Probably not as lucky as Andy but maybe he’d picked up a woman at the bar and went back to her room. The guy was as chick magnet. Something about those wings…
    Then again, what if something had happened to him?
    Nah, someone would’ve called him. If Fry had gotten drunk—and that was a damn good possibility—he wouldn’t have been able to fly so there would be no smashed Fry on a tree or a windshield somewhere.
    Someone had probably given him a drive back to the B&B where he was sleeping it off in a room.
    “Andy, is something wrong?”
    He blinked and realized Jenna’s smile was gone. Probably because he’d started to frown.
    “No. Nothing’s wrong. I just realized I didn’t tell my friend where I was going last night and I haven’t heard from him since then.”
    “Do you think something happened to him?”
    “No… No, I’m sure he’s fine.”
    “Maybe you should give him a call. It’ll make you feel better. And I really should check in with my brother again.”
    And there was the invisible pink elephant in the room again.
    “I had a great time last night, Jenna. And I really do want to see you again.”
    Damn, her smile made him horny as all hell.
    Turning, she began to look around the room then turned toward the desk. She jotted down something on the notepad by the phone then headed for the door.
    She opened it but turned back to him before walking out. “I’d really like to see you again too. I left you my number. Plea—”
    Jenna disappeared with a squeak.
    For a second, Andy blinked at the space where she’d been standing. In the next, he ran for the door, his body obeying signals from his subconscious before his sex-addled brain realized what had actually happened.
    Throwing open the door, he stepped outside and assessed the situation. Then he took two strides and grabbed the guy trying to drag Jenna down the path toward the B&B. The guy couldn’t have weighed more than a hundred pounds soaking wet and barely came up to Jenna’s shoulder. Andy would’ve thought it was a kid except for the scraggly beard covering his chin and the receding hairline.
    The guy squealed and released Jenna when Andy picked him up by the scruff of his neck and let his feet dangle inches above the ground.
    Jenna turned, hands on her hips, a furious expression on her face. “Mike, what the hell’s going on with you? What’re you doing here? And why the frack are you trying to kidnap me?”
    The tone of Jenna’s voice made it clear she knew the guy. And wasn’t happy to see him.
    The look on the guy’s face was sheer panic. Andy was surprised ole Mikey here wasn’t begging for his release.
    “Joss wanted me to make sure you were okay. He didn’t want anything to happen to you.”
    Jenna’s arms crossed under her breasts now and Andy couldn’t help but sigh at the sight. “And why exactly would he think something would happen to me?”
    Mike flicked a somewhat frantic look at Andy over his shoulder as his feet pedaled in the air. As if he might be able to get enough motion going to get free. Andy just lifted his eyebrows at the SPAz. Definitely SPAz.
    His new buddy Mike had that look about him.
    “Joss just wanted to be sure you got his message. Since I was in the area, I told him I’d make sure you were okay.”
    “Bullshit.”
    Andy’s mouth quirked in a grin at the heat in Jenna’s tone. He really liked this girl. And when she caught his grin and returned it, that heat sank into his blood.
    “I want to know what’s going on and I want to know now. Andy, I think you can let him down. He may be an idiot but he’s not dangerous.”
    Andy would reserve judgment on that one. Not on the idiot comment. That was
