black motocross boots followed by black and red riding leathers and an incredible set of abs. His muscular chest and arms were covered in ink, and as my eyes reached his face I realized it was the guy from earlier, Steele. He grinned down at me and I realized I must have been staring. I quickly looked away.
    “See something you like?” He teased.
    I felt my face instantly flush as I made eye contact with him and quickly looked away again.
    He was clearly entertained. “You came flying through that crowd like a bat outta hell. The band isn’t that bad.” A deep laugh rolled out of his throat.
    I regained my composure and looked him in the eye. “No. But those people are. For a minute,” I glanced back over my shoulder. “I really thought I wasn’t going to make it out.”
    “Well from here it looked like you had the situation pretty well under control.” He lifted his chin toward the crowd. “Especially when you sent that guy’s shoe flying.”
    I couldn’t believe he’d seen that. I shied at the thought that he’d been watching me. I smiled up at him and laughed. “I don’t think he was too thrilled, but it did get me out.”
    My eyes were drawn to his strong jaw as he let out a chuckle. “I’ll have to remember that move.”
    “Sam!” I heard Jessie’s voice in the distance. I spun around and saw my friend frantically scanning the sea of faces. I quickly turned back to the man as I was leaving.
    He glances toward Jess then brought his green gaze back onto me. “See you around, Sam.”
    The sound of my name rolling out of his mouth paired with the intensity of his gaze had set butterflies loose in my stomach. My nerves were on full alert as I pulled myself away from his stare and jogged toward Jess.
    Jessie spun around just as I was approaching her. The stress in her face instantly fell away when she saw me. “Oh thank God!” She threw her arms around me in a big hug. “I was so worried that I’d lost you in there. I know how crowds can freak you out sometimes.”
    I smiled to assure her I was fine. “Well you did lose me in there.” I teased. “Good thing I had all these muscles,” I said as I jokingly flexed my arm, “to bust my way out.”
    She laughed, clearly relieved by my humor at the situation. “Good thing! I’m sorry. I didn’t expect it to get that crazy in there.”
    “It’s all right.” I reassured her. “But next time, we’re standing where I want to stand.”
    Jess flashed me her bright smile and nodded. “Deal.”

 

CHAPTER 7
SAM
    The parking lot was completely packed as we pulled up outside Torco Grill. The official event after party was due to start in just a few minutes, and it seemed that everyone was already there. I’d never seen so many big, lifted trucks in my life, and Jessie’s fit right in. We both scoured the lot for any open spaces.
    “There!” we both said in unison and pointed to a spot in the back corner where a small white sedan was pulling out. Jessie sped toward the opening and parked her monster of a truck with ease in the ‘compact’ spot.
    There was a long line leading up to the entrance, and as we approached it Rex came out a side door and waved us over. “Hey, girls, I’ve got your wristbands.” He reached into his back pocket and retrieved two red plastic bracelets.
    Jessie smiled at him as she extended her right arm. He wrapped the band carefully around her wrist and snapped it closed. “Cool. Thanks, Rex.”
    He nodded and then turned to me. I stretched my hand out for him to secure my band as well. “Thank you.”
    Rex looked at the line that was growing in length by the minute. “Looks like there’s a really good turn out tonight.” He spun around toward the front doors and motioned for us to follow. Rex pointed back at us as he approached the large man at the entrance. “They’re with me, boss.” The security guard glanced down at us and gave us each a quick once over with his eyes before grinning and stepping aside to
