But she couldn’t do that. She had to stick to the safe and reliable choice.
She faced Ash again. “Yes, I’d like that.”
He smiled, relief evident in his expression. “Great. Call you tomorrow?”
“Okay,” she said faintly.
With a final, quick smile—he really was handsome when he did that—he jogged off to answer the radio and deal with his deputies, leaving her alone on the dance floor with her racing thoughts.
She’d finally done it. She got Ash to notice her. So why did she have knots in her stomach?
She took a deep breath and turned to go find Anna—and nearly ran into Demon Man. He was right there, crowding her space, and she didn’t care. The uneasy knots loosened.
“Hi,” she whispered.
“Dance we me,” he said, his voice low and rough.
Her gaze flicked over to where Anna was standing, hoping for an intervention to stop her from making a horrible decision.
Anna wasn’t there anymore.
Crap.
She stared up at the contours of his mask, the sharp angles that gave him an imposing air. She knew she should say no and walk away, but something inside her wouldn’t let her. Maybe it was the thrill of the danger, the excitement of the unknown. Maybe it was the way he made her feel when they danced, like she was the center of his world.
Whatever it was, she couldn’t resist.
And then the decision was made for her as he took her hand and pulled her close. The music had started again, a sultry, sinuous beat that matched the way Demon Man moved against her. He was all rough edges and primal need, his hands gripping her waist as he dipped her low, his face so close to hers that she could feel his breath on her lips.
She should push him away, should tell him to stop, but she couldn’t find the words. She felt like she was caught in a spell, her body moving in perfect sync with his. It was too much, too intense.
“You’re dangerous, you know that?”
“That’s why you like me,” he said with a wicked grin as his big hands roamed over her butt. “You want to feel something real. Something wild.”
Yes, it was true. She’d always wanted to be the kind of person who embraced adventure and thrived on the unexpected. He could help her unlock that side of herself if she let him. There was no safety net with him, no plan to follow, no neat little checkboxes to mark off.
It was thrilling.
And terrifying.
As they moved together, she allowed herself to be swept away by his touch, his lips, his blatantly carnal energy.
Suddenly, he spun her out and pulled her back tight to him, his hand trailing down her spine as the music reached its crescendo. He was aroused. She could feel the bulge of his erection pressing into her stomach, and dampness pooled uncomfortably between her thighs.
He growled softly. “You want me, don’t you?”
She should deny it, but she couldn’t. The heat between them was too intense. She nodded just as the music ended.
“Then come with me.”
Sasha hesitated and looked for Ash. He was gone. Anna was gone. Even Zak. Nobody would see her sneak away with this man. Her mind screamed that it wasn’t a good idea, but her body had already made its decision. She felt daring with him—like she could do anything. It was a heady feeling. Dangerous. But, at that moment, she didn’t care.

Sasha’s pulse quickened as he held out his hand. His eyes danced with amusement behind his mask, and at that moment, he truly looked demonic. She should refuse the temptation. She should leave his arms and wait for Ash, because he was the right man for her, not this stranger who set her on fire with just his touch. She had to say no. She had to be smart, stick to her plan. It hadn’t failed her yet—
She nodded.
