Seraphina Sterling didn't even dare to meet Terrence Grant's gaze. Fortunately, he was tall, so she fixed her gaze on his nose as she spoke. "Wyatt Gallagher and I have a date, so you all can carry on!" Without waiting for anyone to react, she grabbed Wyatt Gallagher by her side and tried to leave.
But who was Terrence Grant? How could he possibly let Seraphina Sterling leave so easily? Especially with another man, right in front of him! Terrence Grant suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Wyatt Gallagher's arm. Fearing Wyatt would be hurt, Seraphina instinctively let go of his arm, moving to shield him from the attack.
She knew all too well how strong Terrence Grant could be. Wyatt Gallagher was a doctor; an arm injury could affect his dexterity and might mean he'd never be able to perform surgery again. It was as if Terrence Grant had known exactly what she would do. The instant she let go, he yanked her into his embrace and, a second later, crushed his lips against hers.
