ceremony and start the honeymoon. Smiling, he turned to Sylvia, who sternly shook her head. He spotted Madeline talking to a group of men. Standing outside the circle, he listened to the conversation.
    “I really believe BennTech has the King Midas touch,” Madeline said. The men agreed.
    Joe interrupted. “As a curse or in reverse?” Her mouth dropped as he grinned. “I believe you owe me a dance. Excuse us, gentlemen.”
    “You?”
    Taking her hand, he tugged her toward the dance floor. “You just became my girlfriend.” He looked at David while the band finished their song. On cue, they played “Something” by the Beatles. He took Madeline in his arms.
    She glanced at David, who smiled as he sang. “The band is doing your bidding now?”
    “Yup.” He raised his eyebrows to Sylvia, who nodded like a bobble-head doll.
    “What kind of code word was that anyway?” Madeline asked as he slowly moved her around the dance floor, avoiding other dancers. “When the agent on the phone gave me the words ‘King Midas,’ he said you liked using oddball songs like that.”
    “You don’t like that Hollies’ song?” he asked.
    “I’m partial to ‘Bus Stop.’ Do you know how long it took me to think of a way to work it into every conversation?”
    “I was curious to see how you’d manage. Not bad.”
    “Gee thanks, now what?”
    “For now, we dance and let everyone think you’re falling in love with me.”
    “What? Why not the other way around?”
    He grinned. “Because I’m already falling for you.”
    “Oh, brother, does that line actually work on women?”
    “Seriously, I’m in charge of keeping you safe. I know you have sensitive information on BennTech. We’ll discuss the specifics in private later,” he said, eyeing the dancers around them. “You’ll have to trust that I know what I’m doing. We need to work together.”
    “Don’t make decisions for me,” she replied, following his lead on the dance floor.
    Joe smiled. For now, he’d enjoy their dancing. Not letting Madeline step away, he guided her into an East Coast Swing. As he moved her around the dance floor, he remembered his first dance lesson. In middle school, he was nervous about the spring dance. Taylor’s mom showed him some steps. She confided that most women couldn’t resist a man who knew how to lead in the dance. He took private lessons in high school and became popular soon after.

    Joe would investigate her suspicions into the company, which would pair them together for the next few days. She smiled. Playing hard to get didn’t seem the way to go anymore. It didn’t surprise her that Joe knew how to dance. She supposed it was another way of impressing the women. He moved her so quickly that her bun began to unravel. He spun her around and the song ended. As he dipped her low, her long brown hair brushed the floor. With his face a few inches from hers, she was panting. She liked this kind of workout. Lost in his vibrant green eyes, she lifted her head and kissed him. She barely touched his lips, but the nerve ending in hers sent an electrical shock throughout her body. A wave of heat followed. Her body lit up with awareness as if a bolt of lightning shot out from her toes.
    Stunned, he blinked twice and slowly stood her up. “Ready for some punch?” he whispered.
    “Yeah.”
    She couldn’t believe she’d just done that. What was she thinking? She wanted to try it again. He held her hand as they walked to the side table for drinks. She reached up with her other hand and removed the rest of the bobby pins. She smiled at the women shooting daggers at her. She couldn’t remember the last time she had acted so boldly. That kiss woke her from a deep sleep.

    “Damn,” Eva said as they watched Joe and Madeline leave the dance floor.
    Matt laughed. “I really need to find that guitar.”
    “I thought she was going to play hard to get.”
    “I don’t know what happened, but all these women don’t look happy. They
