The slight curve of her cheekbone. The way her mouth was parted, drawing in the warm air. Her tongue flicking out, wetting her lips, preparing them for when he pressed his mouth against hers. The long sexy line of her neck, the pulse hammering at her flesh. The soft lines of her shoulders and the roundness of her breasts.
“Chase,” she rasped.
He brought his attention back to her heated eyes, the softness there begging him to make his move. She froze, motionless in her need. That was when he realized that he’d closed his hand over hers, holding her fingers in his. Pulled by something he could not control, he sensed his body leaning toward hers, and hers moving closer to his.
“Chase.”
This time his name was said with a harshness that hadn’t been there when Harper had whispered his name. He inhaled sharply and glanced sideways at Brody, his best friend since kindergarten. Brody’s wild dark hazel eyes were locked onto Chase’s hand wrapped around Harper’s, a vein protruding from the center of his forehead.
Slowly, dangerously, Brody’s narrowed eyes lifted. “Get your hands off my sister.”
