finally found her at one of his family holiday parties. She’d told him she’d made a mistake, and she’d rather forget about the entire night.
                  He’d managed to change her mind, though, once again getting her to dance with him, until they’d ended up sneaking off for a little privacy. He’d nearly taken her again on one of the private balconies. Someone had interrupted them, and the next thing he knew, she was gone again.
                  The next time he’d seen her had been at Bree’s wedding, only a few months ago. She’d once again tried to ignore him, but then, their eyes met across the room, hers unguarded for just a moment, and the need he saw in her stormy brown depths nearly dropped him to his knees. He wanted to throw her over his shoulder, and find somewhere they could be alone, so he could love her until they were both fully sated. He’d managed to stop himself – just barely.
                  “What stopped you in your tracks so suddenly? I thought you might be on a mission to carve a path in the floor. I’ve been trying to get your attention for like five minutes as you stare into space,” Trenton went on, his face looked worried. He probably thought his brother had finally snapped. Maybe he had.
                  “Kinsey.” He didn’t need to say any more. His brothers had ribbed him endlessly after the wedding, then later, when he’d chased her at the Christmas party. They knew she’d made an impact on him, but since he hadn’t said anything about her in months, they’d laid off. From the look on his brother’s face, he was about to get another dose of brotherly goading.
                  Trenton whistled as his head turned and he took in Kinsey’s petite frame. Scrubs normally weren’t known for their sex appeal, but she looked damn good in her light green cotton pair.
                  With her hair pulled back in a sloppy bun and devoid of makeup, she looked like a teenager, instead of a woman, though he knew first hand she was no school girl. His groin tightened even more.
                  “I can’t believe there isn’t a ring on her finger. What’s the hold-up, anyway? You obviously want her, so why don’t you do something about it?”
                  “I’m not interested,” Austin lied.
                  “You going to ever tell me what happened?”
                  “Nothing to tell. I thought about it, but…”
                  “So you wouldn’t mind if I told my friend, Mick about her…”
                  “She’s not available,” Austin quickly interrupted.
                  “You sound awfully possessive for nothing going on,” Trenton accused. Austin decided the comment didn’t warrant a response. He knew his brothers well and if he gave them even an inch, they’d have him by the scruff of his neck.
                  For a few simple moments, the two brothers had something other than stress to focus on. Their father and uncle weren’t forgotten about, but the distraction was welcomed. It certainly saved the nursing staff from at least two of the Anderson men harassing them for an update every two minutes.
                  Austin’s eyes shifted back to where Kinsey was in the middle of a heated debate about something. His curiosity was peaked.
                  “Why don’t you go on over and play the knight in shining armor.”
                  “Have you ever heard of minding your own business?” Austin finally said.
                  “Hard to ignore a sexy brunette,” Trenton quickly replied.
                  “Maybe I’ll go ahead and tell Jennifer you’re ogling other women,” Austin threatened.
                  Trenton held his hands up in surrender. He knew when he was beaten.
