Page 8 of Captivated

He slips his phone back into his pocket and leans back in the chair, spreading his legs. Those long, muscular legs I already know I fit perfectly between while on my knees.

The music turns back on, and Nico rubs his bottom lip with his thumb. “Dance for me, Red.”

His deep voice vibrates through me and settles in my core while his eyes take me in from head to toe and back. He has a full, unobstructed view of me now that I’m front and center before him.

Red.

He called me that in the club when we first met. We were dancing, and with his arms snaked around me, he tugged on the ends of my hair and whispered in my ear, “Come up to VIP with me, Red. Let me see if you’re just as fiery off the dance floor.”

My God, I was so fucking turned on. Everything he did and said that night had me in a hazy trance that made me want more and more.

I still want more.

“Closer” by Nine Inch Nails starts playing through the sound system, and I feel the music like it’s a part of my blood. A part of my heartbeat.

Each hit of the beat has me loosening and becoming the Cassie I was with him.

I can be her again.

I can show him everything I know and be the girl who captivates his attention from the stage.

I want his eyes on me.

I want to feel them watching me while I seduce him and he can’t touch me while I do so.

Licking my lips, I wait for the first line of the song to begin, and I walk around the pole. On the next line, I slither my hips from side to side, moving down the pole as I go. I circle my hips and thrust them forward twice when he sings, “I want to penetrate you.”

Nico shifts in his seat and I slide back up the pole, rolling my head and tossing my curls around.

On the first, “help me,” I circle the pole, lift myself up, and do a corkscrew spin, loving the feeling of being off the ground. On the next, I flip over into a spinning chopper. And on the third one, I hook my leg around the pole and spin down into a hand stand and spread my legs into a split.

Bending one knee, I swing down to my knees with my back to Nico and pop up onto my toes – legs spread and bent forward.

As the chorus approaches, I grip the pole and swing backwards, dropping to the floor on my knees again as he sings, “I want to fuck you like an animal.”

I slide my arms forward with my ass in the air and circle my hips before spreading my knees apart and thumping my hips against the stage twice.

Arching my back, I stretch my hands out all the way in front of me and lift my feet in the air, circling them, and slowly sliding down to the floor until I’m lying flat. And when the same line repeats, I make my legs like a number four and hump the floor twice before swinging my leg around so I’m in a split.

I grab the pole and lift myself up, sliding my toes together until I’m standing. And when the song says, “closer to God,” I jump onto the pole and swing around in a split and then flip upside down and twist my calves around the pole – spinning with no hands.

Grabbing ahold again, I kick down to the ground and walk around the pole, needing to give Nico the best show of his fucking life. No matter who he’s seen on this stage, or any other, he’s going to remember me up here.

I keep my eyes on him with every move I make, and watch him as he clenches his jaw, fists his hands on his thighs, and spreads them again, trying to adjust himself.

A slow smile spreads across my face. I’m enjoying teasing him.

Nico’s eyes fall to half-mast and he rubs his thumb over his bottom lip. Knowing he’s turned on, it fuels me to go harder and sexier, and I lose myself in the moment.

When I’m down on my knees again, I crawl towards him, and at the end of the stage, I spread my knees apart and arch all the way back so my head is touching the floor.

I slowly drag myself back up, and when I snap my head forward, I’m met with the man who’s haunted me nightly, standing right in front of me.

I freeze.

Our eyes are locked, and his are ablaze with desire.

I know he still wants me.
