Only Their Love

Champagne and Dancing

UNKNOWN POV

As she sat beside me her scent was driving me wild and my beast was pacing in my mind chanting 'Mate' over and over. The butterflies remained in my tummy and the sparks that had exploded through my hand when it touched her cheek left me feeling out of control which I wasn't used to. Plus, she seemed to be shy.

I took a long drink of the cool, expensive champagne. I was refreshing but I preferred whiskey. I just didn't think this beauty would join me in that particular beverage somehow. Her eyes never left me, they watched my lips on the glass and my neck as I swallowed. She was feeling something too. The bond was working on her. My beast howled in excitement.

'Let's try this again honey. Tonight, in this club to my companions, I am Miss Annabeth Olsen. At home, with my friends and family, I am Ebony.' I spoke gently to her, hoping she would trust me. Her eyes smiled slightly for the first time and my heart swelled. 'So here, tonight for all the people in the club you are Ruby. At home with your family and friends you are ...' her eyed widened and she looked to the floor. I put my hand on her shoulder and she looked back up at me slowly. Her eyes were full of fear and it heart my heart to see.

I put our glasses on the table and knelt in front of her on the floor. 'Hey, it's OK, its OK you don't have to tell me. I wont ask again.' I rested my hands on her knees and she placed her hands on top of mine. 'Thank you' she barely whispered. I stood and walked over to the music player and flicked through the songs, hoping something familiar would help her to relax. Smiling at the selections of sleaze obviously meant for stripping and gyrating in impotent old men's laps, I found a few songs that would be perfect.

I pressed play and sat back down on the sofa. Cindi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun played through the speakers and Ruby let out a little laugh. It was music to my ears and her smile was infectious. 'You want me to dance to this?' she asked showing her straight white teeth through her beautiful full pink lips.

'Will you dance with me?' I asked her and her right eyebrow raised quizzically. 'I don't want you to perform for me Ruby, I'd like to have fun with you and get to know you if that's OK? You looked like you needed a little fun when I saw you on stage.' I moved closer to her and brushed a stray curl behind her ear. An intimate gesture but one she didn't shy away from. I ached to touch her and my beast was pacing with impatience.

Ruby smiled again and nodded eagerly. 'This is the oddest request I've ever had when booked for a private audience!' she said quietly but took my hand and we bounced and danced and sang loudly. Her hair was wild as she shook her head, her breasts bounced and her voice filled the room. Her scent was whirling around me and my core was beginning to ache. Her body was so beautiful. She lifted the long skirt of her dress as she danced and her legs were milky and her thighs thick. She sang so beautifully, but her voice was happy this time, so different from the seductive and innocent tone her performance was to portray. 'God's I hope she wants me too' I thought as the song ended and we crashed down together in fits of laughter onto the sofa.

RUBY'S POV

My sides ached from laughing so much, I couldn't remember the last time I had felt so relaxed and had so much fun. We leaned into one another on the sofa and I could feel her heart racing. Her skin was hot and she smelled so good. I inhaled deeply, her peach and vanilla perfume was divine, I could almost taste it.

'Are you hungry Ruby?' Ebony asked me and handed me the glass of cold champagne. I shook my head and she rolled her eyes. 'I'm ordering food, please eat with me. I have you here for another three hours yet. I'd really enjoy it if you would have dinner with me.' Before I had even the chance to tell her I wasn't allowed to eat with her, or drink this champagne she had picked up the phone and ordered two meals and another bottle of champagne from the menu.

'Please don't tell me what I can't do Ruby, I can put this club out of business in a heartbeat if I want to, that jackass boss of yours wouldn't dare deny me right now.' I furrowed my eyebrows at what she had said. How could she close the club? How did she know Dave?

I was confused but thought 'f**k it', drank down some of the expensive champagne and kicked off my shoes. The one glass I was drinking was probably worth more than a weeks wages to me. Plus, I was planning to walk out of Spicer's and never come back, I may as well have some fun on my last night. God knows where I'd be this time next month.

Ebony returned to the sofa and more music from the 80's played through the speakers. Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance with Somebody played next and I pulled her off the sofa. The tingles that her hands left in mine made me gasp but I figured it was just excitement from a new experience. I watcher her raven hair twist around her as she span. It was like nothing I'd ever seen before, it never tangled or caught in anything. It was down past her waist but didn't seem to get in her way at all.

She unbuttoned her blazer, discarding it on the floor beside her shoes and threw her arms in the air above her head. Her breasts were squeezing out of her corset and my mouth went dry. My core clenched, I felt myself becoming turned on and I moaned softly, my eyes dropping to her waist and hips and her round ass in the tight trousers. Her skin was tanned and I could just see the line her bikini bottoms had left on her hip when her corset inched upwards because of her arms in the air.

Her maroon lips curled up in a knowing smile and she inhaled deeply, a growl emanated from her chest and I would have sworn her bright green eyes turned black for a split second. She was coming closer to me with every move she made. We danced together, holding hands whilst music hits from the 80's continued to play on the speakers.

The tone of the songs changed gradually and before I knew it her arms were around my waist and mine around her neck. My breathing hitched and my heart pounded. The words of the song made my heart ache. A heaviness settled in my chest and my eyes never left Ebony's for a second. I was mouthing the words to the song, Take My Breath Away by Berlin without meaning to. When it ended and the silence was deafening.
