the sensual stroke of his fingers?
    Wishful thinking?
    He pulled her closer, their faces only inches apart. Heat coursed through her. Sure, the room was warm from so many gyrating bodies in a small space, but she didn’t think it was the exercise or crowd that was leaving her so hot and bothered.
    She ran her fingers through Bryan’s shaggy salt and pepper hair. He’d lost the crew cut and embraced the waves he’d cursed during their younger years. His face had matured, as he’d shed the clean-cut boy-next-door look. His jaw was rough with a five o’clock shadow and there were laugh lines around his eyes that gave his face character. In a word, he was handsome.
    And she was completely attracted to him.
    She wasn’t sure where those feelings were coming from. She’d sworn with her divorce that she was finished with men. Laura had had enough male moodiness and so-so sex to last her a lifetime. She’d declared good riddance and hadn’t questioned that decision.
    Until now. Her sex drive had reemerged, screaming out loud and clear that it wasn’t finished yet.
    Bryan’s hand slipped beneath her blouse, touching her bare back, using his strength to guide them in the dance.
    It was sex to music, just as Georgie said. Laura pressed her hips closer, unsurprised to feel Bryan’s hard cock. He studied her face, then winked.
    Her smile grew. “You always were a shameless flirt.”
    “And you were always ready to take a walk on the wild side.”
    Laura turned her face away, staring at the dancers without seeing them. She couldn’t remember being that person, but as Bryan’s hands roamed over her skin, she wanted to escape the bonds of practicality. She longed to be uninhibited, carefree…wild.
    “Hey, Laura!”
    Laura caught sight of Kristen approaching her, shoving her way through the crowd.
    “We’re getting ready to go. Georgie overindulged on the shots and I’m afraid it’s not going to end well. Jason and Nick offered to drive us home. Okay?”
    Laura stepped away from Bryan. “Sure. Give me a minute?”
    Kristen took a long look at Bryan, then gave her a surprised, but approving, smile. “I’ll give you two if you make sure to get his phone number.”
    Bryan chuckled at Kristen’s matchmaking as she walked away. “Exchanging phone numbers sounds like a good idea to me.”
    Bryan led Laura back to where her friends were waiting. Georgie was definitely past the point of no return as Nick held her up. Kristen and Jason were settling the tab. “Looks like we better roll. Will you really join Facebook? There are quite a few of our friends from school on there and…” She paused, wondering if she was being too forward.
    “And?” he prompted.
    “I can send you my phone number through a private message.”
    He nodded. “Yeah. I’ll join. Might be fun to see what some of the gang is up to. And I’d like to see you again. Catch up.”
    “Laura?” Kristen said. “Ready?”
    “Yeah.” Laura pointed her finger, making a circle around her face. “I’ll Facebook you.”
    He laughed at her silly gesture, then put his pinky and thumb to his mouth and ear, mimicking a phone. “I’ll call you.”

Chapter Two
    Laura Sanders
    I would totally take $125 an hour to fill a seat at the Oscars. That sort of ranks up there as best part-time job ever. How do I apply?!
     
    Laura placed the last plate of goodies on the coffee table and reached for a blanket, getting ready to settle in for a day of complete and utter laziness. A month had passed since she’d reconnected with Bryan at Blue Moon. Though she hadn’t seen him again, they’d talked nearly every single day, either through texting or Facebook.
    Georgie had been right. Seeking out her friends from high school had been a great idea. It was fun to reminisce about the old days. She was remembering things about herself that she’d forgotten and her old friends treated her like the girl she had been, rather than the woman she’d become. Laura enjoyed
