Song for tax and the vibe: "Do I Wanna Know"- Artic Monkeys
I wouldn't usually order a margarita but tonight as I sit across from you in this booth, I have. I watch intently as my fingers slowly trace the drops of perspiration collecting on the glass before lifting it to my mouth. I tease you with a glimpse of the pink of my tongue as it glides over the salt on the rim before wrapping my lips around the edge to take a drink. I set it down with a soft 'clink' that sends ripples through the tension around us. I worry my bottom lip a little, collecting the remaining salt there, before pulling it back into my mouth to savor the taste of it fully.
It's not the first time we've found ourselves in this bar on the opposite side of town. However it is the first time we've found ourselves in this particular situation. I listen to you talk as I think back to when you proposed the idea that's led us here. The look of pleasant surprise that snuck its way across your face at my quick agreement thrilled me almost as much as the proposition itself.
My eyes cut back to you before glancing behind you to the lone door at the end of the dark hallway. You turn to follow my line of sight before a knowing smile draws the corner of your lip upwards. I squeeze my thighs together as my pulse picks up. We both know what will happen once we walk through that door. I'm not sure whether the subtle shake of my hands is from trepidation or anticipation.
"Are you ready?", you ask me, your voice low and smooth like honey seducing any doubts I may have.
I watch as you raise your drink to your mouth and the amber liquid pours into it. I hear the ice knock against the glass and my nipples tighten as I imagine how cool your tongue would feel against them right now after you've taken another deep gulp. I watch your Addams apple bob and it's as though the alcohol you've just consumed hits my senses instead. I can feel electricity dance across my skin as we lock eyes and it takes milliseconds to know the only way out of this booth, this bar, is through that back door that leads down to The Underground.
I watch as you stand before me and wait to usher me towards our destination. The click of my shoes against the floor seems amplified as we make our way down the hallway. As we reach the door I glance in your direction one last time before my hand meets the cold metal of the knob and I turn it confidently.
I'm immediately met with the scent of stale cigarettes and expensive perfume. There's a lingering hint of sex that drapes itself across the air and any other time it would have turned me in the other direction. Tonight however, it propels me forwards farther into the room.
People lounge along the walls on dark couches. Mirrors line the walls and I can see the reflections of the patrons here turn to look at us as we stand before them. I take in the large bed in the middle of the room and adrenaline floods through my system once again. I can feel my arousal increase ten-fold as I quickly imagine what's about to occur on the stage that lies before us.
We come to stand against the side of the bed and face each other. I can feel the music vibrating against the soles of my feet. I watch you intently as you stare back at me. I surprise myself by making the first move forward and drop to my knees.
I look up at you from beneath my lashes as I begin to undo your belt and remove your pants. I draw out the pace my hands work at and let the air between us begin to simmer. I tease your skin with the tips of my fingers before an idea creeps into my mind and I stop to rise back up onto my feet.
I stand just close enough for you to feel my breath fan against your heated skin. I skim my lips along your jaw before stopping at the shell of your ear, my hand at the base of your hair pulling you even closer to me. My voice drops to barely a whisper and I let a flutter of words escape that you strain to hear.
"Let's really give them a show."
I move my palm flush against your chest and take another slow step forward. The back of your knees come into contact with the firmness of the bed behind you. I give you a gentle push and your body collides soundlessly with the mattress. The metallic creak of the springs are drowned out partly due to the music around us and partly because of the thrum of your blood rushing past your ears. You watch with anticipation as I crawl up your body and you feel the mattress dip with each of my movements. Knee. Palm. Knee. Palm.
