"Not everyone, but Italians do have long, deep ties to family."
"Is this your Club?"
"No. It’s Yanni’s."
Inside the place is packed! The music is entirely too loud and the lights come on and off with the beat. Aurei steers us into the main room, then up a few small steps to an elevated table. He mouths introductions, but we can’t hear anything. Yanni reaches to shake my hand. We grin at each other, then Aurei sits and pulls me onto his lap. Yanni slides onto Antonio’s and they beam at us. She is as dark and as gorgeous as he is. Her black hair hangs straight and long. Her caramel eyes are almond shaped and her lips are red and pouty perfect. Her smile is genuine and I like her immediately.
The waiter brings us shots. Aurei and I have Crown Royal, and Yanni and Antonio have Tuaca, an Italian Liqueur. We toast, then throw them back. As soon as we do, the waiter brings another and we hit them again. The liquor relaxes me and my foot starts to tap to the beat of the song playing. Then my whole body is pumping. Aurei’s hands start to play the drums on my thighs. After the next of round of shots, I’m standing next to him, dancing in my chair. When the next round of shots are thrown back, he takes my hand and helps me down. He points to the table and wags his finger. I giggle as he leads me to the dance floor. Antonio and Yanni watch from the table as Aurei and I pump it up together. I don’t know the song. It’s an Italian singer I guess, but it doesn’t matter. It’s music and I’m a dancer. Aurei’s sexy side to side rock is looser and sexier and we play off each other well.
But when "Shut Up and Dance" by Walk The Moon starts to play. We both get into the song. I do all the different steps in the video, and he plays along as much as he can with the space available. We are having a blast and laughing at each other. When the song ends, he kisses me deeply and completely. The world instantly vanishes and there is only Aurei. I can hear the music, but my dance is lost in his embrace. His lips are velvet and his breath blows on my cheeks. His tongue touches mine, and I clamp down on it, sucking it down my throat. I’m never letting you go! His hands move to my jaw and he strokes me gently, while he tries to pull his tongue back in. My eyes are closed and I am thoroughly enjoying holding him captive, while I suck his mouth meat. I feel a sharp pinch on my ass. My eyes fly open and, "Oui." His tongue disappears and I see his eyes laughing at me. He raises his eyebrows and I giggle. "You’re just too yummy!" I yell at him.
We pump and grind to the rest of the song playing, then Jason Derulo sings, "Want to Want Me." This time we dance our own sexy interpretation. I’m all up on him, and he lets me, while he puts his arms over his head and dips, thumps and grinds me. He is so sexy right now; I’m on top of the world!
Chapter Thirty-Six
At the end of song, the waiter brings us another round of shots. Aurei turns to the table and salutes Antonio, then clinks my glass and we slam them back.
"New Flame" by Chris Brown featuring Usher and Rick Ross begins and Aurei grins as I give him a little stripper tease and dip my shoulder, cock my ass and toss my hair at him. He holds both hands out to me and I place my fingertips on his. He starts that sexy step and I sync with it. He sings to me as he walks our hands up over our heads drawing me to him, but each time Chris dances his foot funk, I do too. Aurei shakes his head, knowing what’s coming when Usher starts singing and when he does, I grin and dance it perfectly. When Usher gives himself a pat-down to "Baby, Baby, Baby." I’m spot on mimicking the moves and Aurei is pointing over our heads at me to Antonio and Yanni with a 'see my girl owning the groove' smile on his face. When I bounce to the beat with "I don’t want to let you go," the people around us start to take notice and give me some space to entertain them. I drop low and lunge to Aurei with "I want to treat you right." I’m rewarded with a beautiful smile as he dips his head over to see between my legs. I stand and twirl away preparing for the "Love in the Club" dance sequence. As soon as I hit the first groove dead on, the crowd around begins to point me up to the beat. I own them all! Cell phones come out and I’m the center of attention on the dance floor. With Rick Ross’s rap, I dance over to Aurei and rub up and down on him, even giving him a soft twerk. But when the chorus starts again, I’m back in the middle, giving the crowd the dancing Diva. As the song ends, I very casually walk back to Aurei and he puts his arms around me.
I see his mouth move. "Happy, Baby?"
I nod and arch away, letting my upper body roll in his arms. My dress stays in place thanks to the fabric tape while my breasts roll freely around.
Aurei’s eyes devour them and I tease him, giving them a little extra shimmy shake so they jiggle. His tongue touches the corner of his mouth and I roll back up.
Soft bells echo through the room with the next song. OMG! This is the perfect song! I grab Aurei’s face between my hands. "Aurei, listen." My desperate eyes stare into his and he freezes listening. Standing still, not moving at all, his eyes watch me as I give him a perfect personal concert singing "Dark Side" with Kelly Clarkson. The volume is so high, I can barely hear myself, so I belt it out and sing the song with all the passion of someone who feels the lyrics down deep in her soul to someone who needs to hear, understand and feel the lyrics down deep in his soul. My hands and my hair do as much communicating as the lyrics. I touch and pat him with my hands and fingers as I sing. My hair floats around my face and my hands clench and pound him for emphasis. I feel my soul touching his. His eyes are so intense, they burn into mine. As I sing the last line softly to him, I hold his face tenderly in my hands and I tell him. "I promise to stay!"
His lips crush mine and the world vanishes again. I barely hear the next song, but it’s a fast melody. People dance and move around us pumping up to it, but we make out right there, oblivious to them. We embrace our new found love, no longer two drowning souls trapped by our natures, but two souls who have found salvation in each other. We celebrate our beautiful thing. Us!
When I feel a tap on my shoulder, we break apart. Breathing hard, my wild eyes flash Aurei and his thunder stares at me. Then we turn to see who interrupted us. Antonio stands there and his eyes are serious. He points to the door. The bouncers are escorting a group out. Antonio shows us his phone. Our dancing together, my solo and our kiss are blasting the social media sites. I start to laugh. Déjà vu. Then I turn my hands up innocently and shrug at Aurei. He starts to laugh and shrugs too. When we turn to look at Antonio, he looks totally confused for a moment, then smiles and shrugs too. He turns back to the table and waves to Yanni. She texts someone on her phone. I see the bouncers letting the group stay. Then she winds her way to us. She is both graceful and elegant.
As soon as she hits the dance floor, "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins begins to play. The people immediately form a dance line and the fun begins. Yanni dances all the way over to us, showing off her assets.
I like her! A lot! She’s a girl I can relate to! The girl’s got moves!
She tries to grab my hand to pull me on the floor with her, but Aurei’s arms encircle me. I feel him shaking his head and she quickly turns her attention to Antonio. She drags him into the middle and they proceed to join the crowd line dancing the choreography.
Leaning back on Aurei, I watch them, then he puts his phone in front of my face. There is a text from Steve. *Bro. I finally did it. She said YES! Come home. You’re going to be my best man!* There’s a beautiful pic of him and Gaby. She is holding up a nice ring on her finger. I bust a big grin and spin around to see Aurei’s face. He is grinning. The crinkle at his eyes shows his happiness. He texts back. *It’s about damn time! Congrats. I’m honored Bro. Wouldn’t miss it. When?* He shows it to me, then hits send. He starts to stuff it back in his pocket, but then he checks it. *Real soon. I’ll let you know.* He shows me, then he puts it in his pocket and hugs me tight.
I guess we are heading back to Alabama before we go to Vegas.
"Footloose" ends and "Truly" by Lionel Richie plays. We transition from standing to swaying then slow dancing, holding each other, thinking about the news.
> Two friends perfect for each other getting married. That’s fantastic!
Our bodies sync, then his lips kiss my neck and I melt in his arms. He sings in my ear, and the sound of his voice vibrating against the bone gives me that thrill only his voice delivers. His imitation sends shivers down my spine. His hand moves up my back, making my skin sing with his naked touch, then it moves to his mouth at my ear and cups it while his lips begins to nibble, tiny firm bites, moving to mine. His other hand slides down my arm, and he slips his fingers between mine. With our foreheads together, we breathe the essence of us, bonded, being one. With my eyes closed, I know that this is where I belong. With him.
When the song ends, he pulls me back into his arms and practically shouts in my ear to be heard over the voice of the DJ. "I can’t wait to introduce you to my parents and the rest of my family at Grandpa’s birthday celebration."
My eyes flare in fear. Not anxiety. Fear. That thought scares the shit out of me.
He sees my expression and starts to laugh, just when violins play over the sound system and the crowd shouts, "Conchita." Then Conchita Wurst begins to sing to us, "You are Unstoppable."
"Karma." He grins at me, then hugs me tight and starts to sway. "Don’t worry, Kitten Thang. We are! You and me! We are unstoppable! They will see that. It will be ok."
Then he picks my hand up and twirls me around and around. My hair fans out, flying free and my dress stays in place perfectly. Each time I twirl around, my eyes lock onto his and his piercing gaze pins my fear down.
Each time I twirl away, I hear these words dancing fiercely inside my mind as if to strengthen me for the challenge ahead. "Be unstoppable for love. Be unstoppable for love. Be unstoppable for love."
