“Claire tilted her head back, giving Luca her best fake smile. “Ortiz, I don’t think those basic dance lessons have sunk in. I’m the follower, remember? That’s not in my job description.” “Call it common courtesy then.” Luca’s grip around her waist tightened slightly, and Claire belatedly realized she was still pressed against his chest, one hand resting on the bare V of smooth skin. “Just as I kept you from falling, you could be more aware of your surroundings and not crash into people.” “Well—” Claire opened her mouth to voice a pithy retort, but nothing came out. “And while we’re on the subject of courtesy,” Luca’s dark eyes mocked her. “People usually say ‘thank you’ when someone does them a favor.”
