"I have to admit, she's a real beauty," Martin all the way jumped up in surprise hearing Steve's voice. "So she's the one you spent all day today with? She's the one stealing you from me?"
"Steve, what are you doing here?" Martin stared at him with wide-open eyes. Paxton's presence surprised him so much that he could barely gather his thoughts. "Shouldn't you be at, I don't know, some meeting right now?"
"Are you angry that I caught you with her? I disturbed your little one-on-one?" Paxton stepped a tad closer. His lips were adorned with a provocative, slightly crooked smile and his eyes glowed with challenge. Martin's heart momentarily hit harder. "I know she's beautiful, I have to admit it myself, but I feel like showing her who you belong to."
