hair is wavy and travels halfway down her back. She gets her drink and turns, finding herself eye to eye with Michael. He scans her up and down quickly, noting her curves and straight white teeth. She is, in a word, gorgeous.
“That looks dee-lish,” he says.
“You referring to my Cosmo?” she asks, beaming a dazzling smile.
“Of course.” Michael laughs.
“Let me check.” She takes a quick sip, swallows, and nods her head. “I highly recommend it.”
“I’m usually a mojito kind of guy, but I’m tempted to try something new tonight.”
“You should. You won’t be disappointed.”
Michael sticks out his hand. “I’m Michael.”
“Makayla.” She places her hand in his. Her flesh is warm, and Michael takes several seconds to squeeze it. “How does it feel to be the topic of conversation?” she asks.
“Excuse me?”
“You’re with the stunning black woman over there. Everyone’s talking about the two of you.”
Michael replies, “You don’t say?”
“Yep. Word is she’s an adult-film star and you’re her director.”
“All true,” Michael says.
“Interesting,” Makayla says, eying him up and down in a flirty kind of way. “Some of us were wondering what kind of films she does?”
Michael gives the bartender his order before turning his attention back to Makayla. “Celestial is known for her girl-on-girl movies. You can say that’s her specialty.”
“Really? No guy -on-girl action?” she asks.
Michael shakes his head. “Nope, I’m old-fashioned. The only man I want inside of her is me.”
Makayla laughs. “I see. But it’s okay with you if another female taps that—excuse my French—ass?”
Michael doesn’t blink. “Most definitely. It’s something that gets us both off.” He lets that sink in for a moment before continuing. “It’s a win-win, you feel me?” Makayla nods. “So, wha’d’ya say I introduce you to a real-life porn star?”
“Girl, you are working that dress!”
Makayla and Michael have rejoined Kennedy, who is perched on a plush, forest green love seat.
“Thank you.”
“No, I mean it. That thing is fierce, and you’ve got the body to go along with it.”
Kennedy smiles while making eye contact with Makayla.
“You’re doing some damage in that little thing of yours, too.”
Makayla feigns surprise.
“This li’l thing?”
Michael shakes his head. Prince segues into Pebbles.
“Dance with me?” Kennedy says to Makayla while handing her drink to Michael.
“Sure.”
“That is, if you don’t mind being seen with a porno star.”
“Oh, I don’t mind one bit,” Makayla says with a sparkle in her eyes.
The two women walk to the dance area and begin to move. At first they dance around one another, keeping their distance, not invading each other’s space. But as the song progresses, the rhythm and beat take over, and Kennedy finds herself shifting closer. Makayla is watching Kennedy as she swings her hips, zeroing in on her smile as she grooves to the song. She leans in, stroking Kennedy’s forearms upward until her hands are on her shoulders, then her neck. Kennedy closes her eyes and shudders from Makayla’s touch, commanding her body forward; Michael and the rest of the throng have quieted their conversation to watch the unfolding action.
Kennedy and Makayla are eye to eye now, heads and necks moving to the beat as the two women revolve around one another. Six inches separate them as Kennedy parts her lips while inhaling a breath. Makayla does the same, using the tip of her tongue to wipe at the flesh of her lip. Kennedy is watching Makayla closely, observing the movement of pink tongue as it flickers against moist brown lips. Makayla directs her stare down, taking in the fullness of Kennedy’s breasts, her nipples that have sprouted like a flower in the springtime and are struggling against the material of her minidress. Pebbles and Babyface take it to the bridge, and Makayla grasps Kennedy around the waist,
