relieved look on his face surprised me. “What was that about?” I asked.
                   Dank’s  eyes  changed  from a simmering whirlpool as he watched Kent walk away to a soft glow as he looked at me. “He was making you uncomfortable.”
                   How had he known that? “Maybe. But why do you care?”
                   Dank let out a frustrated sigh and shook his head, “I don’t know. But I do.”
                   Okay…. That was unexpected.
                   “Will you dance with me, Pagan?”
                   I studied Dank as he watched me carefull y, w aiting on my answer. I didn’t trust guys like him. No female should. But I  couldn’t  turn him down. I slippe d a  hand over his arm. His hand s  were still on my waist.
                   The music instantly slowed. The sexual beat of the music had changed to something easy and smooth. I eased into his arms and trust came easily.  Dank’s  hands didn’t wander. He didn’t make vulgar moves with his body. Instead, he held me closely as we moved to the music.
                   The smell of his shirt was something dark and exotic. I wanted to bury my nose  in  it and  breathe in the scent . This guy could be dangerous. Every part of him was irresistible.  Turning my head slightly so I could smell  him better I was startled when  a soft growl   vibrated against his chest. What was that?
                   I looked at him and saw his eyes  were now  cold and hard , and they were  focused on something behind me. I glanced over my shoulder  and saw  Jay standing there. His hands were jammed in his pockets and his girlfriend was missing from his arm. He was looking at me. I turned from  Dank’s  arms and faced Jay. Did he need something?
                   “Hey, Jay ,” I said trying to ease the sudden tension. Did they know each other?
                   “Pagan. I wanted to see if you would dance with me for old times sake. I didn’t realize you were uh, with Dank Walker. Wow, you moved up in the world.”
                   I laughed. These boys were really into  Dank’s  band. “I’m not with Dank. We just met today. I’d love to dance with you as long as your girlfriend doesn’t mind. Let me finish this dance first though.”
                   Jay shifted his eyes from me to Dank then back to me again quickly. “Yeah, sure. I’ll be waiting.”
                   I gave him a reassuring smile because he suddenly seemed really nervous.  Odd,  Jay wasn’t the nervous type.  I turned  around  and  put my hands back on  Dank’s  arms. The muscles flexed under  my touch and my imagination took off. He would be incredible without a shirt on. I didn’t have to see it to know it.
                   “You know him,” Dank said in a slow even tone.
                   “Yes. We went to high school together,” I explained ,  purposely leaving out that he’d been my one and only boyfriend. Dank seemed annoyed with Jay. I was probably imagining it but I was going to protect Jay just in case. For a musician Dank Walker was really built.
                   “Do you like him?” Dank asked.
                   Well, that was very blunt. I stopped dancing and stared up at him. “I don’t think that is really your business. We just met today.”
                   Dank bit his bottom lip and dad-gum ,  if that wasn’t hot - as - hell. I really wanted to pull that bottom lip out and suck on it. I was just as bad as any other groupie. I’d just met the guy and I was thinking bad thoughts.
                   “Okay. You’re right. I’m sorry.” He replied.
                   The sad expression in his eyes made my heart hurt. I squelched the desire to reach up and
