Lost in the Moment (A Savioe Family Novel) by Ginny Atkinson Page A

any evil mastermind before turning to whisper to his twin. I glanced down at Marie. She shook her head in befuddlement and dragged me to the other side of the table.
    “Sit here. I’ ll be on your left and Luke on your right. Charles will be stuck with the twins. Thank god.” She whispered to me as we made our way to the chairs. I pulled out the chair for her and waited until she was seated before taking my own. She leaned in to me. Her arm brushed against mine, making my senses tingle. “Let me guess habit?”
    “Yes. It’ s ingrained in me.” I admitted.
    She raised an eyebrow before shaking her head in amusement. “That’s pretty cool. Not that many guys do that anymore. Well guys our age at least.”
    “It’s just part of behaving like a gentleman.”
    “Yeah.” She gave me a half smile that made her eyes sparkle. “But I can see how some people might mistake it for flirting.”
    I chuckled at that. “You have no idea just how often that happens.”
    Eva entered the room and before I could stand Marie placed her hand on my thigh. My body froze and heart tripled its rhythm. I glanced down at her hand then up to her face. She had a faint smile on her lips and amusement in her eyes. “You’ll get tired jumping up and down every time she enters and leaves the room. Give her a few minutes for her and Beau to bring everything in.”
    I swallowed hard. I don’t think I’ll be able to stand up for a while now. Her hand was only a few inches away from my cock and that was getting harder by the second. I looked down at her hand placing mine over top of hers and gently moved it back to her lap. I leaned over to her ear and whispered. “I’ll keep that in mind, pet.”
    I let out a stuttered breath as I sat back up and caught the artic glare of Luke as he walked to his chair to my right. He cleared his throat and muttered under his breath at me. “Hands off.”
    I suppressed a groan of frustration and replied in a hiss. “Tell her that.”
    He snorted out a laugh before he covered his mouth to hide the rest of his mirth. Marie craned her neck and asked him. “What’s so funny?”
    He shook his head at her and waved her off. “Nothing. Just want to say good luck. Dad looks like he’s had a real shitty day.”
    The shy twin popped his head up and asked just as their mother carried in the last dish. “Good luck with what?”
    Charles took his seat in between the two. “Yeah, Marie go ahead and tell them why you need luck.”
    Her cheeks heated to a pink. “Drez and I have um… agreed to date.”
    Eva stood still at the end of the table in the middle of taking her seat as Nate walked in on our announcement. He narrowed his eyes at me for a brief moment before taking his seat. “Beau, remind me to clean my guns this weekend.”
    “Daddy!” Marie gasped.
    The evil twin giggled. “He looks like a deer in the headlights.”
    Eva took her seat and spread a napkin over her lap. “When did this start?”
    “Today. She wanted to make sure it was okay with her brothers before agreeing to it though.” I cleared my throat before taking a drink of water.
    “ Humph.” Eva looked down the table at Nate.
    He held up his hand. “We’ll discuss this after grace. Remi it’s your turn to say it.”
    I bowed my head and snuck a glance down the table to Beau who sat there smirking. He had to have known they’d react this way. I raised my eyebrow in question at him. He shrugged his shoulders and mouthed. ‘Just an insurance policy to make sure you don’t hurt her.’ I shook my head incredulously at him. Remi finished grace and snarled at me before piling his plate full of food.
    Nate released a deep breath. “So, Drez. Is that your real name?”
    “No, sir. My name is Marcus William Dresden the third. My mates on the team started calling me Drez a few years back. It has stuck with me since.” I slowly took a bite of food and chewed slowly.
    “Where do you live?” He took a drink and stared at me.
    My mouth
