Page 6 of The Rules Of Attraction
“Yeah. Definitely.” He nodded. “Pure energy with the power to evoke and control.”
“You make it sound like an actual thing.”
“It is, and there are rules.” The smile up close was well and truly sexy too. It paralyzed me.
At least I had to give him credit for being original with his pick-up lines, but then guys like him didn’t have to worry about what they said.
“Like a game?”
“Yes, exactly like a game. And, we just got chosen to play.” I noticed the way he lingered on the wordplay.
“We?” I smiled inched across my face. Yup, definitely original, and not bad at all.
He nodded.
“What are the rules?” Why did I ask? That was letting trouble take me, but some part of me reached out for this attention.
“Don’t fight attraction, do what it tells you. That’s the first rule. So I can’t allow the most beautiful woman here to leave without dancing with me first.”
God, what should I say to that?
An electrifying shudder reverberated through me.
I was a wreck inside, and didn’t exactly look my best on the outside, but this perfect man thought I was beautiful, and he wasstillholding my hand.
It had been awhile since I felt beautiful, and definitely not in the last few months.
His gaze, bold and assessing dropped from my eyes, to my shoulders, to my breasts, then drifted casually down the rest of me. The look was so galvanizing that it sent a tremor through my body and scattered my nerves.
“I should –”
This guy was one of those that spelled trouble, and I didn’t need trouble right now. I usually avoided guys like that. The cocky, arrogant sort that were usually assholes. But what did I know? After Tom I could hardly claim to be a good judge of character.
“Dance with me, angel.” Magical words which charmed me. Jauntily, he cocked his blonde head to the side.
“Dance?”
“Yes,” he stepped towards me and suddenly I became aware of how close we were standing. He dipped his head low to my ear, and with a low, seductive voice said, “I liked the way you danced. It was damn sexy. The guys who got close to you were lucky. I just want a chance too.”
I considered it and allowed the fantasy of dancing with him to take over.
How could I resist a dance with a truly handsome man who thought I was the most beautiful woman here?
