Laura watched as Holly turned, and her eyes widened. Alexei had dressed for the occasion, wearing a perfectly tailored suit that clung to his muscular form. He was hotness personified, and Laura wasn’t surprised that Holly practically drooled.
Alexei walked up and stopped mere inches from his target. He towered over Holly.
“Hello. My name is Howard, and I am be coming from Orlando.” Holly seemed breathless as she looked up. “Is that your witness protection name?”
“Yes.” Alexei started to reach a hand out. “But we can pick new one if you do not like this one. The trials are over. I am free to go where I like to go. I go with you.”
“No!” Caleb Burke’s favorite word didn’t fall out of his mouth this time. It was pushed and with great force. Caleb’s face was a mask of indignation. Unlike normal, his emotion could be read plainly on his face.
Another song started. This one a happy, bouncy tune.
Holly was in a mess.
“Dance with us,” Cam whispered.
“Be with us,” Rafe said just as provocatively. “We found a closet that’s unlocked. There’s plenty of room. We need you, bella.” Their hands were on her hips and getting dangerously close to her breasts. Laura’s heart sped up. It always did when they were around.
“Take me there.”
Holly would figure it out. She was caught in between two men, and that was an amazing place to be. Laura gave her best friend a little wave as Cam and Rafe led her off.
It was time for Laura to dance.
