Scratch that, my first mistake was losing my cool; my second mistake was not moving out of the big blond man’s personal space when he grinned at me with mischief in his eyes. He looked down at me, one brow cocked in surprise, and his mouth pulled into a grin that spelled trouble with a capital T and, R.O.U.B.L.E for good measure. His eyes roamed my body slowly while I scowled at him, my arms crossed for added punctuation. He wasn’t intimidated though, instead, he grabbed me around the waist, pulled me into his big body, and began to dance to Conway Twitty’s “Hello Darlin’” blaring from the jukebox. I tried to explain what I was angry about, but the big galoot swung me out, then back in again every time I opened my mouth. Before I could even so much as say, “Kade’s in danger,” he dipped me low and planted his lips. Right. On. Mine. “You wanna let my daughter up,” Dad laughed as I pushed at the blond man’s shoulders. Hearing my father’s request, the massive SEAL looked up at him and grinned, if you can believe it.
