Poor Travis…the woman he wants is married to someone else
“Travis, stop staring at the doc’s butt and get your hairy carcass over here,” Brody called.
Caught.
Travis couldn’t help but make a face at Brody as he realized he was going to have to trade his seat beside a hot hawk for one beside a glaring wolf. He’d probably get a lecture too.
Sometimes being the youngest in a group sucked. Holding in a sigh, he levered himself from his current spot and dropped himself into the empty seat beside Brody.
“What’s up, boss?”
“Stop bugging the doc.”
“Who says I was bugging her?” Travis replied.
“Are you going to tell me you weren’t making big bear eyes at her?”
The biggest he could manage, not that they seemed to work. “So what if I was?”
“She’s married, dude.”
“To a douchebag.”
“Yup. A douchebag we’re going to run into in less than eight hours. You need to cool it around the doc.”
“I haven’t done a thing.” Not laid a single hand on her, even though he was tempted.
“Never said you did, however, dude will only need to take one look at your googly eyes and he’ll know. Then kill you.”
“He can try.”
“And he’d probably succeed. Frederick might be an asshole, but he’s a trained one. A deadly one.”
“What makes you think he’ll care who’s staring at Jess? The man hasn’t been home in over three years. Three, dude!”
“Just because he’s been ignoring her doesn’t mean he wants anyone else poaching. Guys like Frederick are funny that way.”
“Not funny to me.” Not when he stood between Travis and Jess. Sure, she’d never given him any indication she returned his interest, not openly, but Travis knew she felt something. Call it a sixth sense. Gut instinct. Whatever. He could also smell her arousal whenever he got too close, like just now. If Jess were single, Travis knew he could—
The slap in the back of the head forestalled any interesting thoughts on what he could do to the red-haired doctor.
He glared at Boris, who took a seat across the aisle from him. “That was uncalled for.”
The big moose smirked. “So do something about it.”
“And have Jan threaten to make me into a rug for your living room floor again? No thanks.”
Are you ready for Grizzly Love?
