BENNETT & TAYLOR | THE DANCE FLOOR
Her eyes were closed as she danced to the old school beat. And at the feel of heated skin against hers, and an arm wrapping around her waist, as a familiar voice reached her ear, but she already knew it was Taylor even before he had voiced his "Gotcha." The flash of heat that moved through her, she blamed on the bonfire and the alcohol she'd been imbibing. She also blamed the fact that she didn't pull away from him on the alcohol. Instead she opened her hazel eyes and turned her head towards the husky voice.
"I didn't realize we were playing hide-and-seek," she teased him. The heat from his skin on hers was impossible to ignore, but she found it was harder to think when he was touching her, the casual way his arm was around her waist making her smile, instead of shoving him away, like she would have with anyone else. As the song shifted to another old school throwback, Ginuwine's "Pony" Bennett knew she should excuse herself and put distance between her best friend's older brother and her.
But that didn't happen.
Instead she found herself matching the movement of his hips. The mermaid glanced back over her shoulder at him and their gazes locked. Game on. She finished her wine and handed the empty glass to an underclass man who as walking by, staring at her. "Make yourself useful," the editor ordered before she turned around, to face Taylor, her arms sliding around his neck. This was not what she was supposed to be doing. She was supposed to be telling him she wasn't interested. This was not telling him she wasn't interested. This was doing the opposite.
And it was like the rest of the party faded away, when Taylor's eyes met hers. Bennett also blamed the fact that she hadn't had sex since the night they had hooked up, on why she was so turn-on by just a look. Their bodes flush against each other, she pressed those soft curves against him, hips moving to the music. One hand slid to the back of his neck, the other sliding down his chest, teasingly as she looked up at him from under her lashes.
