Was she the only one to feel the tension building around the table? Jazz wondered.

She was doing everything she could to ignore Tyr, but he was sitting so close that her whole body was tingling with awareness. How could she remain insensible to his heat, or to the compelling presence of the big Viking at her side? Having forbidden herself every sensual delight reality could offer, exploring the forbidden in her mind had become a favourite pastime. But not tonight.

How prim she sounded. But those wicked eyes—how dared he look at her like that? Storm-grey and darkening, Tyr’s eyes were lit with a disturbing understanding of her inner turmoil. He had always been able to read her. It was a skill that had made her mad when she was younger, and which now made her uncomfortably aware. And that firm mouth that she had all too often imagined kissing her—
