have to be asked twice; she jumped up, gulped down some water and the two of them walked onto the dance floor. She’d always loved to dance and would allow the music to take over her movements. Feeling the groove, she moved her limbs to the beats and the melody of the song playing. For the first time that evening, she was completely lost in the moment and wasn’t thinking about the fact that she was surrounded by famous men and women.
    The tempo switched by the third song to something a bit slower and more seductive. Changing her movements, she spun around and could feel him looking at her. There, coming through the crowd on the dance floor, was Will, his eyes locked with hers. The blue lights rhythmically faded in and out with the music, the dry ice machine creating an otherworldly feel as he came closer. She moved for him, her body telling him what she was unable to say.
    Standing in front of her he started to move, snaking his arm around her waist and bringing her in close to him, their bodies pressed against each other and moving as one. Placing her hand on his shoulder, their eyes remained locked together, unable to stop. She could feel his solid muscles move beneath her hand as they danced, each knowing instinctively what the other was going to do and matching their moves accordingly.
    Arching back, her neck was exposed and he leaned over her, sliding his lips over her skin. With his large hand spread across her upper back supporting her, he brought his other arm around lower, pulling her even closer to him. Gracefully, she raised her hands above her head and she could feel the rumble in his chest as he growled, the music dictating they needed to slow down.
    Lowering her arms and placing one on each of his shoulders, she pulled him closer and they danced, their lips only an inch apart and their eyes looking into each other’s soul. And still the music slowed. Their bodies continued swaying to the beat as he moved his lips across her skin yet never touching, just out of reach but close enough for her to feel his breath. He took one of her arms and moving his lips from the palm of her hand up her arm as he lifted it back over her head.
    She wanted more. She needed more. She wanted his lips on hers. She felt weighted down by longing for him, and he knew exactly what buttons to push to make her weak. She felt the music speeding up and they started to move faster and faster along with it. Finally, they were both lost in the frenzy of each other.
    Suddenly, someone bumped into them and it was like a record scratching. The moment was lost as they stumbled, but he made sure she didn’t fall.
    “That was intense,” she said breathlessly, looking anywhere but in his eyes.
    Holding her hand, he pulled her off the dance floor and to a quiet part of the room. He sat in a chair, pulled her down on his lap and wrapped his arms around her. “Lissa, about this connection we both feel… you have to know I completely respect you. I’m very old-fashioned and I want to get to know you first, but these feelings I have and what I know is completely at odds with that. I want to… I need to take my time, but I don’t know if I’m able to.”
    Lissa looked down and played with her bracelet, wondering exactly what he was getting at. She wasn’t sure if he really liked her, liked her too much, was trying to let her down easy, or was looking for a piece of ass.
    He tilted her chin so she was looking at him. “I’m not explaining it well. I don’t want you to think this is something cheap. Part of me wants to be a caveman, drag you away and keep you all to myself. However, the other part wants to take a page out of history and court you, romance you and give you everything you could ever want. Look at how easily I almost lost control out there on the dance floor with you. You do this to me.”
    “Well, that sounds very nice.”
    He smiled. “Which part?”
    “All of it.”
    “How about I romance you and then drag you off to my
