Chapter 508

• La'Shia was suddenly at her side gently guiding her back into the hands of Brooklyn. La'Shia then stepped forward just as the next song began. She reached out and took Ben's hand in hers. Ben looked up and La'Shia was surprised to see his gaze was a million miles away.
• The next song was Julie London's 'Cry Me a River', its smooth jazz beckoning them out onto the floor.
• Ben heeded its call, stepping forward to pull La'Shia's body to his and moving them into the dance. Her feet rushed to catch up and he automatically adjusted for her. She looked into his eyes but what he was seeing she couldn't tell. Whatever it was had him in its spell and only his body expressed this inner conversation. She desperately wanted to know who it was that made him move so divinely. She gave herself over to his control and felt her movements just... click into place with his. She gasped lightly with the thrill of it.
