“Hey Bette, are you okay?” She puts on her best caring voice. Go on laugh at the sexually frustrated person. I noticed she was really walking sideways when we reached the girls. But I didnt say anything. Let us suffer together. Grace asked if she was okay because she was still flushed. But she made up some excuse that seemed to work.

The body shots business is a little old for me. I never enjoyed it in college and I knew I wouldnt enjoy it tonight. It was just another excuse for Alice to make a move or have me touch her again. But thats another situation for another day. I just kept watching Tina. Tinas tongue, Tina s hands, Tina face scrunched up when she did her shot off of her best friend. But more importantly Tinas arm. Every time she came back from the bathroom, she had a new number on her arm. Grace blew it off, so I guess she would know better than anyone that Tina wouldnt call any of those girls. Still, it was a little annoying. I zoned out completely around 2 AM. We were all way past buzzed and the bar was closing. I was about to round up the kiddies, when Alice started to whine to Shane about something stupid. I wasnt listening until I heard Bette, then Tina come out of Shanes mouth.

“Come on guys, let it go.” I tried to sound as bored and uninterested as possible. Hoping they didnt notice my nervousness at being that close to Tina again so soon. More nagging from Alice and pleas from Shane to shut her up. Tina agreed and I agreed.

When I got close to her neck that careless attitude that we had on the floor came back. As I started to lick her neck, I had the sudden need to taste her and ignore the salt that was coating that sensitive piece of flesh. I licked so slowly, so she would feel the desire I had for her. So she could have a preview of what I could do to the rest of her. I shivered at the contact and she shivered after I was finished with her and threw back to my drink. We are the only two people in the room and I cant tear my stare away from hers. And now she has a lemon between her slightly trembling lips. Im going to make her remember this night. If not anything else this moment. I tasted the lemon that she held just between her teeth, far enough away that I could have easily taken it away without brushing her lips. ***** the lemon, I actually spit it out, forgetting the eat it. I wanted Tinas lips, meeting mine. I kissed her like I was going off to war. I kissed her like I would die if I didnt. And at this moment I believe maybe I would if I didnt pour all of my desire in that kiss. But it took a lot out of me and I couldnt move for a while. I couldnt even hear Alice complain about something or Shane respond. I just had the memory of Tinas lips to keep me occupied until the club closed. Even on the cab ride home.
