Alex wasn't drunk. He'd had five shots of tequila already, and he wasn't drunk. He'd been here for a few hours; his wallet was hurting and he sighed, giving up on drinks for the night. He hadn't had anything to drink before coming to the nightclub, and he inwardly chastised himself for not doing so β he'd needed
something
more than sober tonight. He had arrived home from a long, horrible day at work, and decided he needed to relax. He hadn't been out in a long time but he decided that he could spend his evening as he did most Fridays (with leftovers, a weak rye and water, porn, and some lube) or he could head out and enjoy himself. For months in a row he had just done the former but this week he decided he needed to get out. He was sick of being by himself and he was going to go out and have a good time. Moreover, his chances of spending the night alone were up in the air if he went out but were 100% if he stayed in β might as well give it a shot. He treated himself to a decent dinner for once and decided that he would go out for drinks and dancing.
But that was easier said than done. Even though he was only twenty-six, he hadn't been in a nightclub since he was legally allowed to drink. He was having a hard time relaxing, and was hoping that the tequila shots would help. They weren't. Sighing, he moved away from the bar and picked a spot on the dance floor. He began to keep his feet in time with the rhythm and let his whole body follow β he really did enjoy dancing. As he moved with the crowd, he encountered many women on the floor. He had been all night, but each time that he smiled politely and slowly began trying to dance with one of them she would appear completely disinterested and move away. He was enjoying the music but he had been really hoping to at least have had a dance partner tonight, or anyone to talk to, even. He thought to himself he would try one more time before heading back to the bar or leaving, when he felt nudges against his side. He turned quickly and took her in with a glance, not failing to notice the expanse of smooth skin exposed by her tank top nor the delicate features that were curled into a mischievous grin. Her nose was small and her eyes were so dark, almost black. They were almond shaped with delicate lashes. Her skin was slightly ochre, smooth, and dewy from the heat of the dance floor. Her straight, dark hair was in a cute pixie cut; it accented her bone structure, and fit with her lithe frame. Her eyes offered a dance and he returned the smile, glad for his change of luck.
He moved to face her and she continued to hold a small bit of distance between them. They immediately clicked. He took in her white tank top and red plaid skirt as she moved with him and he moved with her, knowing she was sussing him out. He kept smiling at her as she very slowly inched her way closer to him, finally pressing herself against him and wrapping her arms around his neck. He put an arm loosely around her waist as her body bumped and swayed against him. Her head came up to his eye level and he felt it lean against his cheek a little bit. Her hair smelled amazing and her body pressed against his was welcome, so he felt his other arm circle her waist and hold her to him, hoping it didn't scare her off.
He needn't have worried. She instantly melded herself to him, feeling the music through his body as well as through the floor. To the others around them they were just another couple enjoying a night out, but to each of them it felt like they were alone with each other, electricity snapping along their skin and fluid rhythms moving their bodies. She nestled in a way that just offset him, perching on his thigh and nudging her own against his groin. He bit his lip as he felt her arms grip him and her hips grind back and forth with the beat. Recognizing this kind of dance, he knew how to hit his marks and followed suit, feeling her grip on him tighten the more she swayed on his thigh. She leaned back slightly, her face flushed and her eyes alive to match the naughty grin on her face. He bit his lip, trying to remember not to let his mouth drop open as he took in the sight of her, admiring the red across her nose and cheeks and her eyes half-closed as her body stretched along him and pressed against him. She swayed on his thigh slowly as she gracefully arched along him, reminding him of how a cat moved lithely and, he noted with a tingle along his body, almost predatorily. He was semi-hard and glad she was shorter than he was and perched lower on his thigh. He hoped she couldn't feel it as she pressed her upper chest against his, curling her arm around his back as she rolled her hips. He was taken aback by her forwardness a little, but also was interested in exploring it if she would let him and was trying to figure out how to cautiously move forward with this dangerously sexy creature. He let a hand trail up her back and was rewarded with one of hers moving down his chest. His hips moved with hers and their body heat melted their clothes onto them as they ground into each other, staring into each others' eyes.
After a little while, she backed away slightly so he could see her smile at him. He watched her eyes travel again over his own dark cinnamon complexion, deep brown eyes, dark brown hair, and what he could already feel was his shadow coming in. She winked and leaned back into him and continued swaying with the music, moving her lips next to his ear.
"You're a great dancer," she offered. "What's your name?" Her smile was disarming and her body's swaying was intoxicating.
"Alex. And you?" Alex closed his eyes and breathed deeply, willing the tingling in his crotch to go away. He didn't want to get too ahead of himself. She probably had a horde of girl friends who were going to whisk her away anytime soon.
"Naomi. Nice to meetcha," she smiled and gave him another eye-over. Alex smiled back, a little uncomfortable at being examined so closely. Finally, she nodded at him a little and leaned forward once more. "You with anyone tonight?"
Her question was blunt and caught him off guard. "Um, no, actually... are you?"
