allowing me a short dance with this stunning lady, would you?”
He held his hand out to Reese.
Noah shrugged. “If she doesn’t mind.”
Reese reluctantly took his hand.
As Harrison spun her away from Noah, she hissed. “How dare you!”
“How dare you? Is that a fucking engagement ring?”
Reese smiled at him. She adored seeing him this upset and jealous. It was about time he felt some fucking pain.
“No. It’s just a ‘promise’ ring. We have only dated a few months. Why do you care? You had me. You threw me away. Now you want me back?”
They kept dancing perfectly in time to the music. No one suspected they were arguing.
Harrison sighed. He pressed his chest to hers and could feel her heartbeat. Her same perfume sweet as ever.
“Reese, I don’t know what to say.” He cleared his throat.
“Well, you have me here in your arms, so you better say something.” Just being this close to him made her heart pound.
Harrison gazed deeply into her eyes. “I love you, Reese. I haven’t ever stopped. I can’t allow you to be with this other jerk.”
Reese’s heart soared, but her pride forced her to reject his words.
“Allow me?” She gave a short laugh. “It’s not up to you. I don’t belong to you anymore! I would have done anything to be with you, Harrison, but your reputation and family mean more to you than I do.”
Harrison knew the song was about to end. He pulled Reese close to him, pressing her tightly into his muscular chest. “You are mine, Reese Vogel. Forever. I won’t let you go.”
Reese felt his hands tightly about her waist, and she remembered how forceful he could be. She nearly melted into him.
“Harrison,” she said softly, turning her face up to him.
The music began to drift away. Noah tapped Harrison on the shoulder. “Hey, man, can I have my girlfriend back?” He chuckled.
Harrison kept a tight hold on Reese. “No!” With that, he planted his lips firmly on Reese’s mouth, astonishing them both. Reese’s resistance vanished, and she kissed him back passionately.
Astounded, Noah pulled Harrison away from Reese. “She’s my girlfriend, Harrison. What the fuck do you think you are doing?”
Harrison pushed him back forcefully. “She’s not yours anymore.” He took her hand and began to lead her off the dance floor.
Noah ran after them. “Reese!” She turned to him and gave him a bewildered look as Harrison quickly whisked her outside.
Noticing a commotion on the dance floor, the women next to Lisa pointed to Harrison. Lisa glanced over at him just in time to see him kissing some blonde! Lisa’s blood began to boil. Anger and embarrassment flushed her face red as she excused herself from the table.
Completely caught up in the moment, Harrison wasn’t thinking about what he was doing. He just knew he couldn’t stand for Reese to be with anyone else. Ever . Outside, Reese stopped him.
“Harrison! What the hell are you doing? Your wife was in there. My boyfriend is running after us now. What is going on?”
As he stood there, he gathered his thoughts. What was he going to do now? His wife was there, his colleagues… Noah was probably coming to confront him.
Suddenly, Harrison saw nothing but black as Noah’s fist landed squarely on his left jaw. He staggered backward, but didn’t fall.
“Noah!” Reese screamed, running to Harrison’s side.
Harrison pulled back and slammed his fist into Noah’s face. It made a loud cracking sound as the bones in Harrison’s hand smashed against Noah’s nose.
Blood poured from Noah’s nose. “Oh, my God!” People were screaming.
“Stop them!” Reese pleaded for someone to help.
Two young men finally pulled them apart. Harrison’s jaw was swelling and blood trickled from his mouth. Noah’s nose was obviously broken as blood continued to stream over his face.
Lisa came running outside. “Harrison! What the hell is going on?”
Dazed by the strike to his face, Harrison couldn’t speak. Reese was
