Blood boiled in her veins bringing a rush of heat to her skin. She had left the party to take a quick call and returned to see her practically hanging off him, slim fingers trailing lightly over his sleeve.
You'd better be freaking oblivious, otherwise your gonna find every piece of clothing you own on the front lawn.
She gritted her teeth and plastered on a charming smile that was more of a grimace before striding in their direction; it wasn't until she was a few feet away that she saw he was backed into a corner.
"Elijah," she slid her hand into the crook of his elbow.
"Elena," relief flashed in his dark eyes.
Stuck in a pointless conversation is good too. Her eyes flickered to the woman who had lowered her hand. A wicked thought entered her mind. Sure he might have been backed into a corner, but he could have told her to shove off.
She held up her cell phone and sighed.
"That was the sitter. She says Jenna's running a temperature."
She had the great pleasure of seeing the blood drain from his face and of hearing the woman's sputtering apology.
"When exactly did we have a child together, lovely?" He cleared his throat when his new 'friend' was gone.
"Not for another seven months," she tucked her hair behind her ear and waited for him to grasp the gravity of her words.
A slow smile spread across her lips when he tipped up her chin with wide eyes.
"It was Dr. Martin on the phone," she giggled, earlier anger forgotten. Her laughs turned to squeals when he picked her up and spun her in a circle.
She was oblivious to the questioning glances from his brothers and the disapproving head shake of his mother when he kissed her senseless in the middle of the charity gala.
