“Well, I was looking for you and didn’t think I’d find you in quite this fashion.” Tristan smirked down at her, all arrogance and alpha male.

Mel frowned at him. “You found me. Now I have to get back to work.” She wasn’t in the mood for him games. Especially not after his whole ‘I’m not a nice guy’ speech.

“Not so fast, Mel.” Tristan grabbed her bicep and pulled her back, the contact and the way he said her name made her shiver with desire.

“Tristan, I don’t have time for this. The bar is swamped and there are only two girls behind the bar. I’m sorry, but I have to go.” Mel tried to wrestle her arm away from him but he wasn’t budging, instead his grip tightened. It didn’t hurt but it wasn’t comfortable either.

Tristan stood with her in the same hall he had just had s*x with her, adjusting his pants and shirt and finger combing his jet black hair.
