Claire s sensual flamboyancy was a perfect

contrast to Noel s economy of movement. They

appeared to have danced forever together, their

bodies linked in a gridlock of primal melding. The

heat between them was electric, and they both let

themselves play with it. After all, they were only

dancing.

Noel reached out and touched Claire s hair as it

grazed her face. Their bodies parted and then like

magnets, returned, compelled to each other. The slide

of the electric guitar prodded Claire to playfully

straddle Noel s leg, in time to the music, shimmying

down as she teased Noel with her eyes. Noel

responded by clasping Claire firmly about the waist

with both hands, commanding the full length of

Claire s body to move with her own, their eyes

locked together. Noel could feel Claire s breasts brush

up against her, her breath, exerted from dance and

excitement, burned into her skin. At the last refrain,

Claire mouthed the words to the music, then masked

her intention after each word was spoken; a push-

pull, teasing. The music was over but Claire and

Noel were caught in the web of seduction.
