Nate looked at Cat seeking reassurance and she nodded that it was okay. Although what could he have done for her against the towering, annoyed 160-pounds of hard-muscled male flesh?

Confronting those two so soon after Alex and she had almost...kissed and been timely interrupted. No big deal. Thank God or who knows how far she would've gone?
Don't go there, Cat.
Looking at Alex glaring back at her, she felt a little embarrassment diluting her rage and spoke first, "Just what in the hell was that?"
