When we left off in my WIP, Book 2 of my Illuminati series, The Tree of Life, Kirin and her brothers were at The Magic Ball in Rio and their enemy had just discovered they were there because the scientist they kidnapped, drugged and took to the ball with them is wearing a tracking device...so instead of rushing up the elevator to their penthouse suites they're headed to the ballroom to get lost in the crush... He stayed close behind as she wove her way through the throng of bystanders and then darted straight onto the dance floor, swinging around to clasp him against herself, and then spin away to the flash-paced rhythm of a Brazilian Samba. “I’ll explain later. I’m sorry, but if you want to get out of here alive, follow my lead,” she said into his ear as she gyrated in front of him. “Shouldn’t I be leading?” he quipped, surprising Kirin by raising her hand above her head and spinning her away, then quickly pulling her back against him and showing off some amazingly sensual moves for a man who spent much of his life in front of a microscope. The scientist pulled her up against his chest, nearly knocking her breath away, and not just because she was surprised by his sudden movement. The gleaming challenge in his eyes bore into hers as he looked down at her. She could imagine the mocking smile behind his mask, and she met his swiveling pelvis with her own sashaying hips, daring him to continue the knee-pumping, core-flexing duel. Encouraged, he stalked her movements like a predator, the fluidity of his movements measured and seductive. Kirin, breathless and impressed, laughed up at her handsome captive.

Interesting snippet...if I were her, I'd start wondering if he's trying to get her guard down so he can make an escape.

He's adjusting to this situation surprisingly well. I wonder what other tricks he has up his sleeve?

Love that he met her challenge with a challenge - so to speak. He is not just a stuffy scientist, but much more. Enjoyed the snippet.

Not the behavior I'd expect after being kidnapped, but I love that he reacts this way. I'm guessing that he'll be a good match for her no matter what she does. Great snippet!

I have a feeling he's going to be a most unexpected man...just the sort of man to capture her heart.

Seems like he's shaken off the drug. Now I wonder if he's going to try to shake off his captors. And does he know he has a tracking device? If so, is he trying to lead others to them?

She didn't see that one coming for sure! Great visuals, I could picture it quite clearly. I have a feeling it'll be interesting how they make it out of here, or if they forgot about making it out alive now.
