Jake Napleton is a well known staple in the Chicago sports scene, seeing as he was the main reason they won a World Series a few years back.
“What are you doing here?”
“Man I never skip a good dance party. Plus my wife loves this tropical stuff and I have to say, I agree. I also love her pretty damn hard. Hoping for another kid tonight, if you know what I mean.” He winks. “You gonna get out there, or what? I see you eying that hottie.”
I clear my throat. “I’ll dance with her soon. Just enjoying the ambiance for now.”
“Just don’t wait too long to make your move.” He winks again and heads out to dance with his wife, a gorgeous woman in her thirties with a huge rock on her hand.
When the next song ends, Amelia approaches me.
"Hey, what are you doing over here all alone?" she asks, her voice sweet and concerned.
"Just enjoying the show," I reply, trying to play it cool.
"Come on, Jack," she urges. "You can't just sit here the whole night. You've got to dance at least once."
I shake my head. "It's not my thing, Indy. I prefer to watch."
She pouts, her full lips making it hard to resist her charms. "Please, just one dance? I promise, if you don't like it, I won't talk to you again for the rest of the night."
I’m tempted. Not just by her voice, but by the way she looks at me, her dark eyes burning with desire.
And, let's be real, the way she looks in that outfit is ridiculously sexy.
"Okay, one dance," I relent.
Amelia grins and grabs my hand, leading me onto the dance floor. As we move to the music, I can’t help but get caught up in the rhythm, and before I know it, I’m actually enjoying myself. Amelia's body presses against mine, her hips grind against me as we move together.
As the music reaches its crescendo, I lean down and my lips linger inches from hers.
When we finally pull away, panting and gasping for air, Amelia's eyes are filled with happiness and desire.
"I knew you could dance," she says with a smile.
I’m about to ask her if she wants to dance again, even though I just said one song, but before I can do that, Vitas comes over and dances by us, and then taps Amelia on the shoulder. “Hey, you mind if I dance with you?”
She shrugs, while her eyes stay fixed on mine. “Sure. This grump only wanted to dance for one song.”
Before I can protest, she’s dancing with Vitas to the next beat.
I watch with a mixture of frustration and jealousy as Vitas and Amelia move together, their bodies perfectly in sync with the music. I know I shouldn't let it get to me, but I can't help the way I feel.
As the song comes to an end, Vitas and Amelia return to the side of the dance floor, laughing and chatting like old friends. I feel a twinge of resentment towards Vitas, even though I know it's not his fault that Amelia chose to dance with him instead of me.
But I can't let my emotions get the best of me. I take a deep breath and approach Amelia, determined to win her over. "Hey, that was a great dance," I say with a smile. "Would you like to dance with me again?"
Amelia's face lights up as she nods. “I’d love to.” She takes my hand and leading me back onto the dance floor. As we move together, I feel grateful for this second chance, and I resolve to make the most of it.
I grin, not able to resist the chance to hold her in my arms a little longer. As we dance, I can feel the tension between us growing, the electricity of our attraction crackling in the air. I can't stop thinking about how good it feels to have her body pressed against mine, how perfect her lips tasted when I kissed her.
I know I should probably hold back. I should keep a space between us, but in this moment, I can't resist the pull of her magnetism. So I let myself get lost in the music and the feel of her in my arms, determined to enjoy every moment of this dance.
As the song comes to an end, I spin Amelia around and pull her close, gazing into her eyes as I whisper, "Come with me.”
She hesitates for a moment, but then follows me, her hand warm and soft in mine.
“Where are you taking me?” she asks.
