The Party: After Midnight
Claire had been blindly swaying to the beat, eyes close and her arms above her head also swaying to the beat. All the smells of all the people around her mixed with the smell of burning embers was intoxicating and she was barely surprised when she felt hands slide around her stomach. She leaned back against the solid body behind her. She only responded with a little “mmm” at his words and complied with his request.
Keeping her back to him she let her arms lower to warp around his neck drawing his head closer to her. She pressed back and continued her sway to the music implying that she wanted him to follow. Claire opened her eyes just slightly and lowered one of her arms from his neck to trace the tattoos on her arms and fingers with just the tips of her fingers.
