“Fine. Buzz kill.” I roll my eyes and drink.

“I don’t feel like holding your hair while you puke your guts up in the bathroom. I’m planning on fucking my husband on the conference table and I don’t need you messing it up.” She laughs.

“Use the tenth floor’s conference room.” I stick my tongue out at her.

“Congratulations to all of our silent auction winners.” Nigel announces. “And thank you to my beautiful girlfriend for being by my side all night.”

“Mistress.” I correct, then shove my finger in my mouth, pretending to gag.

“DJ, let’s put this party into high gear.” Nigel says, as Low by Flo Rida and T-Pain plays.

“This is my jam!” I squeal, tugging Colleen’s hand.

We hit the dance floor just as the chorus starts. Each time they say low, I pop my ass, dropping lower and lower until I’m just inches above the floor. Popping back up, I belt out the song while shaking my ass. People watch at first, but soon join us on the dance floor.

“Fucking hate these.” Colleen holds my arm while taking off her heels. “Better. Give me yours before you break your neck.” I slip off my shoes, handing them over to Dave, like Colleen instructs.

We dirty dance, grinding against each other like we used to in the clubs. Spinning her around, I bend her over as Dave cheers and whistles. Seeing a familiar dark purple suit watching with his arms crossed across his chest and a sinister grin on his face, I slap Colleen’s booty as she shakes it in unison with my hips. I squeal as the song changes to Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake.

Feeling free, I dance with everyone around me. I laugh, seeing Liza shooting eye darts at me.

If looks could kill.

She knew Nigel was taken, but that didn’t stop her. She moved in for the kill, thinking I would just go quietly into the night. Now she’s standing by, watching as people take turns dancing with me. Guess she’s pissed I’ve stolen the limelight from the attention seeking slut. She storms off while I laugh and twirl right into the arms of the man in the familiar dark purple suit.

“You’re the belle of the ball, aren’t you?” He brushes the hair from my face.

“Nice of you to finally join me.” I spin, resting my back on his chest.

“I couldn’t resist another second.” Holding my hands, he wraps his arms around me, whispering into my ear. “I like the way you dance for me.”

“Oh yeah? I like teasing you.” I grind my ass against him.

“You do it well. Just know you’re treading on dangerous grounds, little girl.” He spins me, so I’m facing him.

The world around fades, people disappear, it’s just the two of us. Our sweaty bodies move in perfect unison, making me tingle like never before. As the music slows down, I loop my arms around him. He holds me tight, looking deep into my eyes while I run my nails down the back of his neck. There’s a look of promise in his eyes; one I’ve never seen before. More than that, there’s a strange pull to him.

“Shot time.” I drag him from the dance floor towards the bar.

He sits on a stool in front of the bar, pulling me between his thighs, resting his hands on my lower back.

“Two tequila shots,” I say to the bartender.

“And two waters.” He adds.

Now that I’m still, I’m wobblier on my feet than I realized. I wrap my arms around his neck for support but enjoy the closeness between us more than in the past.

Must be the tequila talking.

I rub my nose against his, just like I have since we started dating. In return, he kisses the tip of my nose, which is new, but I’m not complaining.

Being in his arms feels like a dream that I don’t want to wake up from. Neither of us like PDA, but I’ve never felt more alive than I do right now. I might have started the night wanting to get even with his mistress, but now I’m craving him like never before.

“Here ya go.” The bartender puts our drinks in front of us.

“Have you ever done a body shot?” I bite my bottom lip as he shakes his head. “That changes tonight.” I wink, tilting his head to the side before rubbing lime and sprinkling salt on his neck.

He moans and massages my ass, making my core throb. Licking and sucking the salt and lime off him, I try to remember the last time I was turned on this much.
