surprise, replacing it with something that looked a lot like hunger.

Everybody else around us was dancing to a beat that my hazy mind

seemed to remember from something. It was Latin; it was decadent and fun

and what summer nights in Spain were usually made of. Without really

knowing how, my hips started moving. Aaron’s hands shifted to my waist.

And we were dancing. The memory of doing that with him not so long ago

something that had intercepted the three-letter word. Something I was

vaguely aware I needed to remember.

Aaron’s fingers spread, and his thumbs trailed across the fabric of my

blouse. One of them slipped beneath the hem. The simple contact sent a wave
