“I promise I’ll make it up to you.”

“How?”

Without even missing a beat, Gaby replied, “A blow job in the location of your choice.”

Now that had my attention. “You mean if after I dance with Bella, I wanted to take you to the bathroom then you’d have to do it? Or maybe in the alley.”

Although I could tell both scenarios were disgusting to Gaby, she responded with an enthusiastic, “Yep.”

“Hmm, that’s very tempting.”

“Just dance with Bella, and the temptation can be a reality.”

One final look at Gaby’s red, full lips, and I was done for. I turned my attention to the end of the table. “Hey, Bella?”

She jerked her head up from her phone. “Yeah?”

“You look bored as hell.”

“And?”

“I think we should do something about that, don’t you?”

A grin curved on her lips. “What did you have in mind, Noah?”

“A dance.”

My question resulted in an epic WTF look from Bella and had Jude’s blue eyes narrowing on me. “You’re joking, right?” she asked.

“Absolutely not. There’s nothing else in the world I want to do than dance with you.”

Bella brows furrowed as she glanced between me and Gaby. At what must’ve been a look of “It’s all good,’ from Gaby, she put her phone on the table. “But you can’t dance,” she teasingly replied.

Hearty laughter echoed around the table. “True. But I figured between you and Gaby, I might actually learn something.”

Out of the corner of my eye, I watched Jude staring at Bella. If she had merely looked over at him, she would’ve seen just how much he wanted her. It was written all over his face and in how tense his body was. Jesus, if he was getting this worked up over Bella’s sister’s boyfriend asking her to dance, what the hell was it like for him when it was an unattached dude scamming on her?

Rising out of her chair, she crooked her finger at me. “Let’s dance.”

“Hell, yeah.”

When I walked the length of the table to meet her, I knocked against Jude’s chair. “My bad, man,” I apologized.

He glared up at me. “No prob.”

Oh yeah, I was getting under his skin. I held my hand out to Gaby. After sliding her hand into mine, she followed me out onto the dance floor. When I drew her against me, Jude’s blue eyes tracked our every move. My gaze flicked from his over to Gaby. A satisfied smirk curved on her lips as she watched Jude’s expression.

When Bella cleared her throat, I turned my attention back to her. “I’m sorry.”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“Why are you dancing with me?”

“Do I have to have a reason to want to dance with a beautiful woman?”

With a roll of her dark eyes, she replied, “That was such a line.”
