nines, nicknaming one another, touching and feeling whenever
the opportunity arose. He worried that his sister was being set up for the
greatest fall ever.
    “Aw Stud , you know you should never take on a Goddess like me!”
she told him sarcastically as she dramatically flung her arms around in her
drunken state. She hiccupped as she noticed they were alone once more,
“Especially when it comes to drinking you under the table.”
    “You know you’re on!” Tyler accepted the challenge and grabbed the
bartender for more alcohol.
    After another three shots the pair sat looking at one another,
conversation drying up, emotions pouring out, and alcohol lining their system
fully. Feeling the chemistry building, she felt their bodies being drawn
together, the lust exploding in short shots around them and she knew there was
a kiss somewhere in this evening.
    However, Austin didn’t know that she wouldn’t be on the receiving end
of it.
    Tyler knew he shouldn’t be doing this, but six years was too long to
wait and it was too long to allow things to build up without just relinquishing
their old flame – even just once before his reality snapped back.
    For Tyler that was sooner rather than later.
    “Baby!” Natasha’s voice
broke the moment and the pair literally flew away from one another. “Sorry I’m
late, Ty.” The moment she got close she put a ringed left hand to Tyler’s face as
she kissed Tyler. She didn’t even acknowledge Austin.
    Austin’s arch nemesis had won. Just like she had told Austin she always
would. She felt like she had been sucker punched and hard – right in the heart.
The alcohol she had just consumed was burnt straight out of her veins. There
was the kiss of the evening and the shot of realisation penetrated her harshly.
She might have left her heart in Tyler’s hands, but that was now under
Natasha’s foot.
    Suppressing the anger that ripped through her she painted a smile on
her face and looked at the happy couple. “I’m going dancing,” she declared
cheerfully and left them be, getting lost immediately in the crowd. She wasn’t
going to stand around for hellos, or welcome backs; she was just getting out of
there. It wasn’t just the sight of Tyler with Natasha wrapped around his waist,
it was more the look of pure glee on Natasha’s face that struck daggers into
her chest.
    Watching, Tyler ignored Natasha until she moved to be in front of him.
He looked down at her and saw the fury in her face, her eyes darkened and
heated, her brow furrowed as her chest began to heave with aggression and
momentary envy.
    “Honey, I came here straight from work like you asked of me and then
you don’t talk a lot,” She tried to win him over with exchanging the cold,
angry exterior with sweet talk and puppy dog eyes. “What gives?”
    “A long commute,” he muttered back, his eyes wandering across the club.
They stopped when he saw Austin with an unknown male.
    “She’s fine you know?” Natasha mentioned in utter putrid hatred and
looked at Austin before turning back. “She’s over you – officially .”
    Ignoring his girlfriend for a moment he let out an overprotective growl
as he witnessed what was rolling out. “Excuse me a minute,” he said and headed
across the club and to where Austin was literally being groped on the dance
floor and he knew if he left it any longer then he would be witnessing a lot
more than just hardcore groping.
    She hadn’t even been dancing for more than five minutes and already she
had a man all over her. Not that Tyler was surprised; he remembered just how
much sex appeal that woman held and how she loved to use it to weaken him. He
shouldn’t have been so surprised that she was gaining all of the attention of
the men in the bar. Why would it be any different when she was a sexy
twenty-five year old?
    The moment he was near, Tyler pulled her away from the man’s groping
hands. He was enraged. He turned him around and went to hit the stranger, but
