    “He’s not my boy,” she muttered without looking at him, her gaze lifting to the darkening sky as she just stood there. She didn’t understand half the crazy stuff going on in her head at that moment, but the last thing she wanted was to be anywhere close to Matt.
    A low rumble of thunder sounded in the distance, out over the ocean, and she could smell the distant rain on the crackling air. A storm was definitely coming, brewing out over the Pacific.
    As Natalie lowered her head and glanced at Sean, it struck her that the storm was a perfect complement to the chaos churning up inside her. She felt…restless. Edgy. Trapped inside her own tight skin, with no way to break out.
    He held her stare with those dark, incredible eyes, his breaths getting harder…deeper, just like hers. God, she needed to find the strength to turn around and walk away, before she did something stupid, like attack him with her mouth. But she couldn’t. She just stood there, until he suddenly muttered a low curse and grabbed onto her arm again. He pulled her to the far side of the Range Rover, where they were out of sight of the others, then let go and faced her.
    “Enough of the goddamn game,” he growled. “I give.”
    “What? What are you talking about?”
    He stepped closer, filling her head with his mouthwatering scent, his narrowed gaze as sharp and raw as his tone. “Don’t do it, Nat.”
    “Do what?”
    “Don’t go out with that asshole.”
    “Asshole?” she sputtered, even though she’d been thinking the exact same thing just a few seconds ago. “You don’t even know him.”
    “I don’t need to know him. Aren’t we all the same in your book?”
    “Yeah, well, I’m taking a chance that he’s different,” she lied, uneasy with the way he was looking at her—as if he were seeing so much more than she wanted to show him. But there was no denying that it was insanely hot, the way he was so completely focused on her. It made her feel like she was the only woman who’d ever been the recipient of that heady, potent look—and if that wasn’t dangerous, she didn’t know what was.
    “No,” he ground out.
    “No?”
    He came a step closer, erasing the space between them as her head went back and he put his face right over hers. “If you’re gonna take a chance on someone, then take it on me .”
    Her eyes shot so wide she knew she must look ridiculous. “Are you serious? Do I look like a freaking idiot to you? Or a backstabbing bitch?”
    “Backstab…? Wait. What the hell are you talking about?”
    Shoving hard at his chest, she snarled, “I would never be with a cheater, Sean! I would never do that to another woman!”
    His dark brows drew together as he stared down at her, the line of his jaw rigid. The blue of his eyes had gone from stormy to outright pissed, his rough voice little more than a guttural blast of sound when he demanded, “The last time, Natalie?”
    “What?”
    He pointed a long finger at the restaurant, his voice even lower than before. “When was the last time you saw me in there with a woman on the weekend?”
    She crossed her arms over her chest and tossed him a bland look. “I don’t keep track.”
    He got right in her space again, all hot and hard and angry, but sexy-as-hell. “You should. Because I haven’t gone out with anyone since you and I met. The day that Sophie moved in with Chris. That was almost a month ago.”
    “Just because you haven’t brought a woman into the restaurant the past few weekends doesn’t mean you aren’t hooking up. This is San Diego. There are nice restaurants on every corner. And you’re still having dinner with the blonde every Tuesday night!”
    With a slow shake of his head, he told her, “You have some serious trust issues, you know that?”
    Bristling over the fact that he had the nerve to look freaking disappointed in her , as if she were the one at fault here, she snapped, “What I have is a brain. One I plan on using to keep me out of
