"Are you anyone?" she demanded on afterthought.

" Non," Finn said, borrowing from his mother's bayou French. "I'm jus' Miz Amanda's Cajun gigolo, doin' my best to make sure she passes herself a good time in our Big Easy."

The woman's eyes widened. "Did you hear that, Leon?" she asked as they waded back through the crowd to the door. "Didn't I tell you that girl was nothing but poor white trash? What sort of woman would hire herself a gigolo? And what kind of man would service women for money?"

If Leon had been given an opportunity to respond, his answer was droned out by the band.

Alone again, those damn pouty lips that had been tormenting him since before he'd been stupid enough to kiss her, curved in a brilliant smile. "Why Agent Callahan, I do believe you shocked her."

"I didn't plan to. It just came out."

"Did you see her face?" Julia laughed. "Maybe you should give into impulse more often."

He considered that. "I don't think so."

"How do you know if you don't try?" The legs of her chair scraped on the wooden floor covered in sawdust as she stood up and held out a hand. "Do you have any idea how long it's been since I've gone dancing?"

Those long legs were close enough he could bite her thigh. Since he was sorely tempted to do exactly that, Finn settled for the lesser of the two evils. Besides, the piano man was pounding away on a raucous Jerry Lee Lewis song that wasn't the least bit conducive to romance. Not that the impulses bombarding his body had anything to do with romance.

It was only sex. A man could live indefinitely without sex. Look at the Dalai Lama. And the pope, though he might not really count since how much temptation could there be when a guy spent all his time in a city pretty much devoid of women?

There had to be other males who managed it, though.

Somewhere in the world.

The dance floor made the rest of the place seem downright roomy. Naturally, instead of staying on the perimeter of the crowd, like any sensible person, she headed straight toward the very center, where bodies were packed together like a tangle of the night crawlers he and his dad used to hunt for bait with a flashlight.

She'd no sooner stopped and turned back toward him when "Great Balls of Fire" segued into a slow, plaintive soul sound.

Terrific. If he hadn't been sitting knee to knee with her since they'd arrived, Finn might have suspected she'd bribed the band just to torture him a little more.

Determined to prove that it didn't take a religious calling to control his dick, Finn yanked her against his chest.

She twined her bare arms around his neck and melted against him like she had during that mind-blowing kiss.

"Mmmm. Nice."
