straightens up, probably figuring that now was the best time to make his move with them both distracted. Elyse tenses, but not quickly enough. He reaches out to grab her again, the anger in his eyes plain for anyone to see and she takes a step back just as Hot Pool-playing Guy inserts himself between the two of them. He lets a lightning punch fly, hitting the suit right in the nose.
     
    Elyse watches with a small amount of satisfaction as blood starts spurting from his nose. “You broke my nose, you fuck!” He clutches at his nose, looking at them both, outraged as if they were the ones that had started the fight.
     
    “I’ll break more than that if you don’t get out of here right now.” The deep voice from the specimen in front of her gives Elyse a little thrill and she watches as his broad shoulders stiffen, his hands clenching, ready for action.
     
    “Who are you? Her pimp?” Suit Guy spits the words out and Elyse feels herself blush at the outright accusation.
     
    “Who am I? I’m the guy who’s going to kick your ass if you don’t get out of here.” He doesn’t even give Suit Guy a chance to respond before he grabs him by the lapels of his sad suit and half hustles, half drags him towards the exit, virtually throwing him out of the doors.
     
    Elyse looks around and the other men in the bar barely even seem to have registered what has just gone down. They must be pretty accustomed to seeing fights, she reasons to herself. The doors swing open again and Hot Guy walks through, looking grim and holding a wallet.
     
    “How much he owe you, Joe?” He starts pulling out bills before the bartender answers.
     
    “Twenty even, Dane.” Joe doesn’t even miss a beat, taking the money and pocketing it before the other man disappears out of the door again, returning a few seconds later without the wallet.
     
    He walks right up to Elyse and motions towards her beer that must have been knocked over at some point in the struggle. “Can I get you another?” Elyse still hasn’t quite recovered the power of speech and he seems to take her silence as assent, motioning towards Joe for two more beers.
     
    She realizes that soon he’s going to start wondering if she was actually capable of speaking. “Thanks…for getting rid of that creep.”
     
    Dane shrugs as if to say it was no big deal. “You looked like you were doing pretty well before I showed up.” He levels her with that admiring look of his and she has to break eye contact before he renders her mute again. Damn, but the man was handsome. Handsome in the kind of movie star smoldering way you don’t really believe exists in real life.
     
    She hides her smile of satisfaction that he’d noticed she wasn’t just some damsel in distress. “I do okay.” She shrugs like she gets into fights all the time when the truth is that she can only count on one hand the number of times she’s actually had to use any of her karate in the outside world.
     
    He nods to Joe as the bartender places their drinks down in front of them before moving off to take another order. It’s clear he’s a friend; he doesn’t seem to have any issues with the scuffle that just went down in his place.
     
    “Haven’t seen you around here before.” It’s a throwaway comment but Elyse gets the feeling from the way Dane’s eyes never seem to rest on one thing for too long that he doesn’t miss much.
     
    “Haven’t been ‘round here before.” She takes a swig of her beer, noticing he has dimples when he smiles.
     
    “You always talk this much?” He raises a questioning eyebrow at her and she laughs out loud at his joke.
     
    “Only after a bar brawl.”

 
     
    CHAPTER SIX
     
    She feels a jolt in her chest as they stare at each other and notices the flare of attraction in his eyes. She feels like she could burn up under the intensity of this man’s stare. Her eyes drop to his lips and she wonders what it would be like to kiss him. His mouth quirks up in a sexy
