Excerpt

Jenny had been trying to see what Dan looked like throughout the concert without being obvious. However, she had only gotten glimpses. The fact he wore a plain blue T-shirt was about all she could add to her earlier collection. Starting their new song, “Come to Me, Baby,” she paused a moment to change gears, from rage to sensuality. She started to strut around the stage, with her chin lowered, her eyes dreamy as she looked into the audience as if she were seducing everyone. Then the part came that she had argued with Marla about. She didn’t feel comfortable crawling across the stage, but Marla had assured her the fans would eat it up. She had reminded Marla their fans’ average age was about half hers. Marla said they would love it even more.

She dropped to her knees as far from the front of the stage as possible. Sensually, she crawled, one hand coming forward as her knee did. She dipped her hip on the other side graceful as a tiger. The words of the chorus left her lips, as she stalked on all fours toward the man she would be spending more time with than she ever had with a man. When she saw his eyes on her, her breath caught in her throat. He was too handsome. His sandy blond hair had a disheveled look. His shirt fit to perfection over his sculptured chest. It almost made her purr like the cat she was emulating. When she got to the end of the stage, her eyes never leaving his, she rolled to her back and let her head hang over the edge.

Looking upside-down at him, she lifted her hand and placed a finger in her mouth. She pursed her lips to suck as she slowly pulled it out. Once free, she offered her finger to him as if to have him taste also. After a moment, she slowly brought it back and put the mic on the stage for the instrumental portion. She placed her hands on the sides of her face,then lowered them in a slow descent over her bodywhile never breaking eye contact. She had always thought she was lacking in passion. Running her hands down her body, watching this man’s face had her blood pumping. She was hot and feeling things she had no way to describe. She had never been introduced to passion. She wasn’t sure if she could endure any more of this. Just when she thought she was going to die from the unaccustomed feelings, the music changed—her signal to roll back and come to her feet. Shakily she began to sing, breaking eye contact and taking a deep breath as she began her round about the stage. Her heart rate slowly went back to normal, and she began to cool off. Later, she would attribute it to the success of the new song, not to the man who had been the focus of her attention.

 * * * *

 Dan sat mesmerized as she slithered her way toward him, as seductive as a black panther. Her green eyes were incredible. Her face was as delicate as he had thought it would be. The closer she came, the harder it became for him to breathe. When she rolled to her back and dropped her head to look at him, he thought he was going to embarrass himself and come in his pants. My God. He had almost leaned over to take the offered finger into his mouth. Once again, he wondered what he had gotten himself into. The woman oozed sex out of her pores. She was going to eat him for breakfast. He wasn’t sure that he had the nerves to deal with a professional seductress.
