Arno had his sights on Daphne. Her slick moves excited him, and he executed his best dance steps with gusto to keep pace with her.

She already had quite a lot to drink and had no inhibitions at expressing herself -- the dancefloor was her stage. She stole a coy glance at him. She knew she had style and she could feel him responding to her.

When the music changed, she was swayed invitingly and exuded her charms. A man like him didn’t miss such signals. He could read her body language and knew she was eager. Besides, she was intoxicated and ready prey for the taking. He was a skilled hunter and knew the game intimately.
