Roxxy glanced over her shoulder. The host was standing there with a waiter. Their watchful eyes were on Myles and Korey.
“No problem, gentlemen. I was just leaving.” Korey brushed past Myles.
His dark gaze slammed into Roxxy, sending a chill down her spine. She straightened to her full height and returned his look.
He strode forward toward the two men. “It was just a misunderstanding, but it’s been clarified.” He patted the host on the shoulder and disappeared around the corner.
“Everything’s okay,” Roxxy noted. She didn’t wait for a response before she turned back to Myles. She stepped toward him.
His chest was rising and falling quickly. His hands were curled into tight fists.
Roxxy laid a gentle hand on his chest.
His eyes dropped down to her.
“Are you all right?” His voice was gruff. He reached up and cupped her cheek in his warm hand.
She smiled softly. “I am now.”
“I didn’t like the way he was touching you,” Myles admitted. He reached for her and brought her flush against him.
“Me neither. Thank you for coming to my aid.” She tried to laugh at the situation, but it sounded strained to her ears.
“If he bothers you again when I’m not here, you just say—”
“I’ll be fine. I can handle Korey.” She slid her hand up his chest. He didn’t look convinced. She rolled her eyes. “I always have a weapon somewhere on me or in my car.”
That seemed to satisfy him. He jerked his head in a nod.
“Want to go back and order dessert?” Myles appeared to calm down slightly.
Roxxy shook her head. “No, let’s take care of the check and go.”
Myles’s gaze swept the lot as he and Roxxy made their way to his car. He tried to settle the rage inside him but he was having a hard time. His gut was screaming that someone had their eyes on him. Ever since he’d arrived in town the same feeling had stayed with him.
“Hey, why don’t we get dessert after all?” Roxxy paused.
“What do you have in mind?” he asked.
Her smile spread across her face. He wished he could relax as fast as she could, but Roxxy wasn’t a trained soldier.
He glanced around again, his gaze sweeping the area.
“What are you looking for?” Roxxy turned around and eyed at the area. Her eyebrows rose high.
“It’s nothing.” He tugged her close to him.
She studied him for a brief moment before she leaned into him. “Well, the place I have in mind is a short distance away. We can leave the car here and walk.” She patted his chest.
Memories of how that ass had gripped her wrist came to mind. Myles snagged her hand and brought it up to where he could assess it. In the low light, he couldn’t see any marks on her.
Had Korey put one blemish on Roxxy’s flawless skin, Myles wouldn’t have been responsible for his actions.
“Do you want to talk about what happened back there?” he asked.
Roxxy shook her head. “He’s harmless. I just want to forget it and enjoy what’s left of our date.”
By her facial expression, Myles decided to leave it be for now, but he was not one to let anything like that be forgotten.
