even if he hadn’t been so obvious and hands-on about it. Now it felt as if he’d had the rug pulled from under his feet, because Jai had got the advantage.
    He’d known that Jai might push it forward and quickly, and Garth already felt out of his depth, but the turn of events left him speechless. Garth had been pointing out the way to the top floor bathroom then turned around to see it unfold before his very eyes. Faye stepped in, looking around the place admiringly, the colour in her cheeks high and her eyes bright. Jai was close behind her and when she stumbled on her heels, Jai was right there—scooping her into his arms from behind and steadying her on her feet.
    Fair enough, it was the right thing to do.
    But Jai didn’t let go. Instead, he clasped her tighter to him and danced with her body spooned against his. When she let out a gasp of surprise followed by a mischievous giggle, Garth was mesmerised by the way she looked in another man’s arms. The way they moulded together, like two familiar lovers, made him want to hold her that way too. Somehow Mr Charm had slipped in and beaten him to it. He couldn’t believe this was happening again. It was like reliving the Izzy disaster all over again.

    Faye wasn’t Izzy though. Izzy had been a wild child, into everything. Faye was a woman. I want her, badly.
    From the moment he’d heard her voice he’d been intrigued. She managed to sound fun and reassuring at the same time, and when she arrived the attraction quickly solidified.
    He hadn’t felt like this in a long while. The hint of mischief in her expression attracted him most of all. She was all woman too, her pretty frame softly curved beneath that floaty dress she had on—the dress that Jai currently stroked over her hip with one hand.
    Say something, you fool , Garth urged himself. He could cope with that, he had to stay on the ball. “Are you okay, did you trip on something?”
    “I’m fine. I just caught my heel on the door plate.” She seemed keen to reassure him, but there was a distinct breathiness to her tone, as if she was aroused by Jai’s hands on her.
    “I’m sorry about that. I’ll have to check it out. It might need to be adjusted.”
    “Music, we need music,” Jai murmured, but he didn’t make a move to do anything about it, just threw the suggestion out there.
    The sense of injustice Garth felt kept him rooted to spot, unable to do anything but watch as Jai turned Faye around in his arms, making her face him—still dancing their hips together all the while—and when he got her exactly where he wanted her, he ducked his head down and touched his cheek to hers, dancing on.
    Faye responded. She wrapped her hands around Jai’s neck. He nuzzled beneath her jaw, apparently kissing her there. Garth cursed silently, wishing that he’d at least had a chance to put some more lights on. The spotlights from the kitchen area were on and that sent a mellow light into the seating area. He liked it that way on an evening, whilst winding down, but he felt the urge to switch more lights on and shock Jai out of his role as primo player in the house. They were barely inside the door. If he didn’t take action soon he’d be forced to leave them alone. That was the last thing he wanted to do.
    Before he had a chance to make that move and flood the place with light, Faye turned and locked eyes with him, and it changed everything. The look she gave him made him reconsider. Half-lit, she looked so damn sultry. The lights were perfect as they were. There was an invitation there in her eyes. She didn’t want him to leave them alone.
    Garth couldn’t walk away.

    Jai lifted his head too and without breaking the entwined embrace they were locked in, they both stared Garth’s way.
    Expectation built in the atmosphere.
