I think HE is the one "selling his body", because she's in a car and he's in a corner. Besides, she is "looking for the thrill" and "knows where to go", also she is the one who's nervous, shy and scared.

The prayer would be for his soul, because of his job or maybe her spontaneous "Oh my God" 's when he went a little more "physical" or "rough", lol. The "save to the morning after" part is he saying she should forget about her religious and/or moral rules that say they shouldn't do it and just think about it after it's done.

They might have never left the very place where they met: he didn't take her to dance, he merely invited her to and is trying to convince her to do it (or him, lol).

I think he feels excited as in "try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin" because he has to seduce her first, not because he's the one looking for sex, as some suggested.
