THE CHIC FIFTH AVENUE club was crowded with the city’s beautiful people. The live music was awesome. Mike couldn’t remember hearing a better local band. His beer was a new microbrew, dark and hearty, just the way he liked it. Gina looked gorgeous as usual, turning heads even here, where every third woman was a showstopper.

Everything might have been damn near perfect if only he knew how to dance. He had no rhythm. Not for the fast songs. No way would he get out on the floor and swing his arms around like a jackass.Most of the guys dancing didn’t look all that hot out there. But he didn’t care. He had no intention of making a fool of himself. Especially not in front of Gina.

Even though they sat side by side in a booth and were obviously together, she’d been asked to dance several times, had three drinks sent to her and was constantly ogled. She pretty much ignored the attention. Her interest seemed to lie in checking out other women’s shoes.

And in him.

She’d rest her hand on his thigh and lean against him when they tried to talk over the music. She smelled so damn good it was hard to keep in mind he was her chaperon, no different from her aunt, even if Gina didn’t see it that way. It didn’t matter. He knew the score. She was off-limits. He couldn’t let himself slip up again.

Mike would be a liar if he denied that it gave him a rush to be with her in a place like this. Hell, anywhere. She was the perfect female package, and she acted as if he was the only man in the room. Intoxicating stuff.

“Michael?” She touched his arm and leaned so close her warm breath seeped into his skin. “Are we ever going to dance?”

“Later.”

She looked at her watch. “You said that an hour ago.”

“I’m waiting for the right song.”

“You said that, too.” She paused. “Do you not want to dance with me?”

“It’s not that.” Even in the dim lighting he could see hurt in her eyes. “Look, I can’t dance this fast stuff.”

“Oh.” Her longing gaze went back to the dance floor. “They play slow songs.”

“Maybe you should go ahead and dance with one of these other guys.”

Hurt flickered in her eyes again. “I do not want to dance with any of them. I want to dance with you.”

What a jerk. He knew she’d say that. Hell, he wanted her to say it. He’d hate to see her out there with another guy. “Okay, the next slow song.”

Her lips lifted in a beautiful smile. “I will be right back.”

“Gina…”

She slid out of the booth before he could stop her and headed into the crowd. He sure hoped she was only going to the bathroom. Of course, it wasn’t as if she could go far.

Within three minutes she was back, wearing a pleased smile that made him nervous. This time when she slid in next to him, she didn’t leave an inch of space between them.
