He had always been a man of action.
He suddenly charged forward, intending to grab Marcus Monroe from behind and yank him away!
But Marcus Monroe was hardly oblivious.
He had noticed the sound of hasty footsteps behind him long before. As the attack came, he pulled Paige Summers into his arms and swiftly dodged to the side. Then, he spun around, pushed her behind him, and faced Zephyr Mercer himself.
But before he could speak, the other man roared, "Get away from her!"
Marcus froze.
Just then, a confused voice came from behind him. "Zephyr Mercer? What are you doing?" Paige stepped out from behind Marcus, an utterly baffled expression on her face as she tried to hide the blush creeping up her ears. 'Is this guy crazy? So what if I wasn't paying attention and Marcus hugged me for a second? It's not his place to lose his mind over it!'
