you have a date.”
    Above all else, she refused to acknowledge the little flutter in her stomach at his words. Everything tonight was for show, as it should be. In fact, the flutter was nothing except indigestion from the fact she had nothing to eat before arriving here.
    Before she could offer a comeback, the music changed. The song that defined the first movie, Hollywood Stardust , came on. The partygoers began to clap and Logan, Ivy and their offspring joined them on the dance floor as did Drew and Erin.
    “You know, this dance didn’t belong to me in the movie, but every woman always wants me to perform it with them.” He pulled her in even closer. “How does it feel to live out the fantasy?”
    “I have no idea, it’s not my fantasy.” She faced him head on.
    “Don’t tell me you haven’t seen the first movie.” His eyes seemed to sparkle.
    “Of course I’ve seen it.” The man was a fool. “I live on the planet.”
    “Then it has to be your fantasy.”
    Like all her conquests, now she would win. “Well, contrary to popular belief, nothing about the movie is my fantasy. In order to have a fantasy you have to be a fan first.” She matched his smug look with one of her own.
    “Not a fan of the movie.” He stopped his dance.
    Sometimes no answer was the best answer of all and she simply stared at him.
    “That really turns me on.” Without as much as a warning, he leaned down and kissed her.
    Yes, he kissed her, a real kiss, not a peck or even what one would call a movie style kiss, done for effect only. In less than the time it took Ryder Scott, leading man, to tangle his hand in her hair and open his mouth, her body betrayed her, her knees went weak and she had no choice but to hold on for fear she would fall into some bizarre fandom.
    Still, she couldn’t help but soak up the attention he lavished on her. She relished in how his tongue caressed hers, treating her to his sweet taste combined with the tang of wine and how every inch of her warmed as if she drank a bottle of a deep red vintage.
    For the first time since she could remember, she lost herself, did something without thinking of every repercussion first and even found herself kissing him back.
    He pulled her in tighter and bent her back slightly. The way their bodies contoured together allowed her to take in his long, lean body with bulges in all the right places.
    All the right places.
    Yes, she thought that twice.
    As suddenly as he kissed her, he broke the kiss and pressed his forehead to hers. “I’ll make a fan of you yet.”
    “You’re not that good,” she blatantly lied. The man could turn her into a downright fanatic. Once her knees found their strength, she spun on her heel and headed for the exit.
