might be different.”
She nodded. “It’s all right.”
“ Gloria, Keko is native born but Japanese. There are many Japanese here.”
“ Keko, Gloria is visiting from the mainland. She is a professional dancer in Las Vegas. She must be very good because they just named her lead dancer. In a Cirque du Soleil show.”
Keko nodded and bowed. “Yes, very good. I be happy to watch. There so little opportunity for dancers here—except hula.” She tittered.
“ I would imagine. I see everyone is warming up for ballet. I must tell you, I haven’t practiced ballet in ten years.”
“ It not matter, dance is dance. You be fine. Kino is one of best and he help you.”
She nodded, and Kino and she took a place along the wall. After she put the toe shoes on, she warmed up on the ballet barre. There were about eight of them, including one other man. At first, they all danced at the same time, but then they went individually. She went early, and though she stumbled and almost fell, they applauded her.
Keko came up to her and bowed. “You are graceful, like a gazelle. It hard to believe you no dance ballet for so long.”
“ Thank you.”
The rest of the class varied in proficiency. Some good, some not so good, but the one that was extraordinary was the last one—Kino. The cat-like grace, the leaps, the raw power, he surely was a dancer that deserved to be on stage. For the class finale, Kino and she danced as a pair. Not able to see it, she intuitively knew it was breathtaking. Apparently, the classmates agreed, because they clapped heartily and congratulated them as they left.
Afterward, Kino, Keko and her talked until the next group—modern dance—trickled in. Here again, Kino excelled, though not at the high level he had in ballet.
After the class finished, Kino embraced her. “I really enjoyed this. You are an amazing talent. Let me take a quick shower and I’ll buy you lunch. Oh, I’m sorry. Did you want to take a shower? You can go first if you do.”
How about at the same time? “No, you go ahead. I’ll wait for you.”
After he’d been gone about ninety seconds, she slipped into the locker room. She heard water running and headed toward the sound. She peeked around the corner. The shower was an open tile shower stall with six heads He stood under the second from the right. What a sight he was—strong, muscular legs supporting taut, dimpled buns. His thin waist V’ed out to broad shoulders. His skin tone was a warm raw sienna in a gradient not much lighter than her own. She licked her lips when she saw his luscious cock. It wasn’t hard but it was big, as if it were. Hurriedly, she stripped and casually walked into the shower. “I hope it’s all right. I changed my mind.” She squished her nose as she pretended to smell her armpits. “I smell a little ripe.”
He didn’t say a word, scanning her body for the longest time.
She smiled through squinting, knowing eyes . “I don’t suppose I can borrow the soap?”
“ You are beautiful.”
“ Yeah, well, I’m digging what I’m seeing, too, Kino. The soap?”
He looked at his hand that held the bar of soap. “Oof. Sorry.” He threw the soap and she caught it.
“ Thanks, this water is kind of cold. Is yours?”
“ No, let me feel yours.” He came over and she nearly jumped in the air as his beautiful cock brushed her thigh while running a hand under the water. “It is cold. Ahh, this knob was turned down. How’s that?”
“ Much better, but I’m still cold. Do you think you could join me under the water and hold me?”
He stepped into the stream of water and embraced her, wrapping his muscular arms around her. He kissed her ear just under her curly ringlets. She gasped as she felt his hard weapon jabbing her in the back. She turned and kissed him back passionately.
“ Ooh.” He sighed as she began stroking him, using the soap bar as a lubricant. Through repetitive groans, she whispered in his ear, “I need to make sure
