his sister?”
    Irritated by the question, he turned to the woman beside him ready to shred her, but grinned when he spied Ell e Pierce. Smoking hot, redheaded actress in a committed relationship with a female.
    “ Jase would kill me.” He glanced at his watch. Too soon to leave. “More important… is it that obvious?”
    She shrugged. “Most probably think you’re just protecting her like a big brother. Only the perceptive would notice. Lucky for you this isn’t a discerning crowd.”
    His secret affections could not be revealed.
    “You either have to do something about your feelings or let her go, Fang.”
    “ How’s the adoption going?”
    She smiled. “Hint taken. She’s not a topic you wish to discuss?”
    Heath inclined his head.
    “Fair enough.”
    Ell e updated him on the adoption that had been put off while they considered artificial insemination. As he listened to Elle, he scanned the room for Sam, but failed to locate her.
    Where could she have gone? Who could she be with? What activity did she engage in? And with whom?
    Half- dressed with all her attributes hanging out, every man there probably thought she was an easy lay. And he couldn’t say she wouldn’t be with the reckless actions she brokered lately.
    “ She went through those doors”—Elle pointed across the way—“with Aaron about fifteen minutes ago. Knowing Aaron the way I do, he is probably taking her to his bedroom. He likes beautiful women. Come on, and I’ll lead the way.”
    “ You’re a godsend, Elle.”
    She grinned. “Not really. I can’t wait to see his expression when you put a kink in his kinky plans.”
    If Aaron touched her—he’d what? He honestly didn’t know. And that worried him.
    The sounds of the party waned as they moved further into the house. Elle motioned to the door they came to a halt in front of.
    “ How do you know this is where they went?”
    “ My partner’s bisexual. We’ve played with Aaron once or twice.”
    Way too much information shared, but he ’d asked. Seizing the doorknob with the intent to burst unannounced into the room, he considered for a moment that a person should be entitled to some privacy in his bedroom.
    Not when Sam might be in there.
    He’d never claimed to be a gentleman, and he wouldn’t dissect his reasoning for needing to get Sam out of Aaron’s sexual clutches. All he knew was he wouldn’t allow her to sleep with the actor. Not while on his watch.
    Without announcement, Heath barged into the bedroom.
    Sam looked a little mussed, her hair a tad disheveled, and her lipstick smeared. Aaron embraced her around the waist, and her palms were flattened on his chest. For a moment, he thought he caught the gleam of relief in her blue eyes but decided she knew better than to go to a man’s room alone. That meant he’d read the expression all-wrong.
    “ Listen here, Fang, you can’t just—”
    Heath slammed his knuckles into Aaron ’s nose, and the playboy actor went down. Elle’s shriek of surprise turned into a laugh as the bastard’s nose gushed blood.
    Sam gaped at him like he ’d sprouted dragonheads. Okay, so he wasn’t the violent type, but the fucker had messed with his woman.
    Fingers curling around her upper arm, he drew her near and shook out the pain in his left hand. His knuckles throbbed like he’d punched concrete. “No one plays with what’s mine!”
    Heath dragged Sam out of the room and down the hall.
    “Jesus, Heath, and y’all say I don’t think.”
    He ground his teeth. Maybe his actions were foolish , but all he’d seen was someone else touching Sam, and he’d lost his focus. “If you know what’s good for you right now, you’ll shut up.”
    “ Slow down. I can’t walk this fast in stilettos.”
    Noticing her stumbling gait, he decelerated his stride as he weaved them through the throng of guests. The valet took one look at him and took off at a run to retrieve his vehicle. In silence, he and Sam waited for the car. It felt like a
