Excerpt: “Would it be too forward of me to ask if you already have a beau, lovely songbird?” I looked up at him, willed myself not to stare at his lips. “No—I mean, no, I don’t.” His eyes widened in surprise. “The men around here must be dumb as rocks. Letting a fine-looking woman like you walk around here alone like this? I might just have to do something to fix that.” I placed my hand on my chest. “Something like what?” “Something like making you my woman.” I shook my head. “Can’t do that. You’re just passing through.” He nodded slightly as he reached up and touched my cheek. “Well, if you’re my girl,” he whispered, “I guess you’ll have to come with me… or I’ll have to stay.” Then he leaned in and softly kissed me on the lips. Every nerve, muscle, and blood vessel in my body vibrated, and my knees buckled ever so slightly. “Dizzy…” I said softly. He backed away from me with an intoxicated look in his eyes. “Call me John. I like the way you say it.” “John?” He smiled. “Yeah, I like that.” “Dizzy, you holding up the game, man!” a voice shouted from upstairs. He leaned in close to me again and smiled. “Damn, girl… you smell good.” “I’m not wearing any perfume.” “I didn’t think you were.” “Oh… um… well, t-thank you.” He smiled at me again, then took my hand and squeezed it. “You welcome. Can I see you after the club shuts down tonight, lovely?” I nodded. He could’ve asked me to jump into a school of sharks or rob a bank and I don’t think I would’ve been able to refuse him. I watched him swagger back up the stairs and then, for the first time in several minutes, I breathed.
