misjudging the situation, she’d feel like a fool, but if she wasn’t…
    “I do want you to get the job,” Seth said, stepping closer, his other hand coming to her waist, gripping her with enough force that her fluttery pulse became an adrenaline fueled pounding in her ears. “Now I just need you to show me that you want to get the job, beautiful. You understand?”
    His face moved closer to hers and Melody shoved at his chest.
    “Stop,” she said in a firm voice, but he didn’t stop, his fingers only bit into the flesh above her hips with more force as he tugged her off the stool.
    Before she could cry out, Melody was pressed against the bar, Seth’s breath hot at her neck as he ground his hips against hers. She felt his erection against her thigh and bile rose in her mouth.
    “Stop!” She screamed the word this time and punched a fist into Seth’s thick shoulders, but he acted like he didn’t even feel it.
    He was built like a hunk of rock, and Melody couldn’t remember the last time she’d hit the gym. Their similar heights weren’t going to make a difference. She was weak, and he was strong, and if she didn’t find a way to escape, he was going to do what he wanted, with or without her permission.
    “Stop! Help me! Someone help!” Melody screamed as loud as she could, until Seth’s thick palm came down on her lips, muffling the sound as he spoke in her ear—
    “There’s nobody here, baby,” he said, pressing forward, pinning her so tight against the bar that it was hard to draw her next breath. “And nobody’s coming. It’s just you and me tonight.”
    He pressed a kiss to her cheek and Melody whimpered, an instinctive plea for mercy that made Seth’s hot breath rush over her ear.
    “You are so sexy, you know that?” he asked. “And we can have a good time if you’ll just relax. Just relax, sweetheart, and let me show you a good time.”
    Melody struggled and kicked and tried to scream again, but the sound was stifled by Seth’s hand. His other hand was busy pulling up her dress.
    For a brief second, Melody flashed on her first kiss with Nick and how it had felt to have his hand bunching up her skirt—scary, but exhilarating and sexy and wonderful, all at the same time.
    Seth’s touch was only scary. Terrifying. Horrible.
    Melody squeezed her eyes shut and pushed Seth away with every last bit of strength in her shaking arms, screaming into his hot, sweaty hand, but she could already feel her muscles beginning to weaken and her skirt was nearly up around her waist. A cold certainly spread through her, making her shiver: Seth was going to be her first. Seth was going to take the virginity that had scared Nick away and now she would never know that beautiful first time he’d wished for her.
    Something deep inside her, something primal and full of rage that Melody hadn’t realized existed within her until this moment, roared at the thought. It bared its claws and howled, giving her the strength to squirm free of Seth’s grip just enough to bring her knee up between his legs. Hard.
    “Shit,” he grunted, his hand slipping from her mouth as he gripped his crotch.
    “Help! Help me!” Melody screamed in a raw voice as she went for Seth’s eyes with her nails. He caught her wrists before she could do any damage, but Melody was already bringing her leg up between his thighs again when the bar’s front door opened and a familiar voice called her name.
    “Melody?”
    “Nick, I’m here, in here!” Melody screamed, her words ending in a sob as she twisted free of Seth, snatched her purse from the top of the bar with one shaking hand, and ran for the door.
    For a second, she was certain Seth was following her, but then she realized the thudding sound she heard was just her pulse pounding in her ears.
    She reached the front of the bar as Nick was stepping inside and the door sliding slowly closed behind him. With a panicked sound, Melody grabbed Nick’s arm and pulled him backwards, toward
