DANCING QUEEN.

        “Fuck, Jaime,” Looking over at Jaime with an incredibly satisfied, yet exhausted smile on her lips, Ella slowly, yet surely put her clothes back on her touched body. “You really know your way around a woman’s body.” She stated, knowing her words were more than true. Yes, she did all of the fun work and he barely moved, his hands still pleasured her in more ways than one. They knew exactly what they were doing and where to be at all times. Once she was clothed, she walked over to him and rested her hand on his hip. “We should definitely do this again sometime.”

        “Show me what you got, babe!” Beaming happily towards Annabel, Ella swayed her hips to the beat and watched as her dance partner started to show off her tricks and skills. Her eyes focused on the other’s feet, she watched them move and was highly impressed. She knew how to dance and dance well, which made her more attractive to the dance instructor. As her eyes moved up her body, they focused on her swaying hips and hoped she could get her hands on them at some point. “You got some skill, I’ll give you that. You might even be better than some of the adults I teach.” When her eyes locked back onto the brunette’s, she threw a flirtatious wink her way. Moving her dancing body closer to the other woman, her smirk lifted on her lips once her hand collided into Annabel’s again. Spinning for her, she took matters into her own hands and took her other free hand. Grasping both of her hands lightly, she slowly pulled her in closer to her as they still danced to the upbeat song. Letting her eyes linger on her plump lips, she finally lifted her eyes to her’s before saying, “Challenge accepted, sexy. I’m already looking at what I want to judge next.” Blunt and to the tee, she enjoyed their flirting of all sorts, but she wanted to take the next step.

        “Right back at you, Amelia,” An instant smile forming on her lips, Ella truly believed Amelia was a sight for sore eyes. The last time she saw the older woman, she was majorly injured and covered in heavy rain, debris, and burns. Now that she was standing before her looking amazing, it made her a bit speechless. “It’s good to see you, too.” Wrapping an arm around her waist, she appreciated the side hug and took in all of her questions. “I came with my best friend Hattie. She’s around here somewhere.” She chuckled, letting her eyes search for her plus one before focusing back onto the other. “I’m having a great time! I’ve been drinking and dancing, one of my favorite combos. How about yourself?”

       “Penelope, hey,” When Ella’s eyes landed on the red-head, a nervous-ridden smile formed on her face. The last time they interacted was during the storm, in a horrific situation, helping Amelia out of her damaged home. Now that almost two months have passed, memories of the event still clouded her thoughts. She’s had a full glass of champagne and a shot of tequila in her system, so the nervous butterflies she was currently feeling weren’t making as big of a mess. After getting her new drink from the working bartender, she turned to the other and gave her the same nervous smile. “It’s good to see you. How are you doing?”

        “Calvin, smile!” At one point, Ella was skipping through the beautifully decorated building, but when her eyes landed on Calvin, she was quick to rush to his side, hold her phone up and take a few selfies with him. It didn’t even matter how good they looked; all she wanted was another picture with her older half-brother to add to her growing collection. “Another item checked off my bucket list. Get a picture with the most handsome man in the room.” Tease laced within her words, she grinned up at one of her favorite men. “In all seriousness, you looked great during the ceremony. Are you ready to present your best man speech?”

        “Vi’,” When Ella spotted Violet among the crowds, the dancer was quick to yell her name while running towards her. She was happy to see her friends and siblings here, but when her eyes locked onto one of her best friends, a large amount of excitement ran through her muscular body. Coming at her hot, she slowed down enough to wrap her in a hug and not slam her to the ground. “You look hot. Who gave you permission to look this good at a wedding?” She questioned the blonde, her tease in full effect. Looking towards the open bar, she didn’t take long to look back at her fellow dancer. “Want to hit the open bar and give the desperate girls a run for their money?”

        “Hell yeah! Go for it,” Moving to the rescue, Ella quickly jumped in front Hattie and tried to give her as much coverage as possible. “I would have worn spanx too, but they wouldn’t fit up this dress one bit.” She said to her date as her eyes scanned her tight black dress. “Then again, my ass looks amazing right now and I think they would have ruined it, so there’s that.”

        Ever since the beautiful ceremony, Ella couldn’t stop smiling. Here she was, standing by the bar at the reception with the biggest grin on her face. Love was in the air, food and drinks were had and people were on the dance floor, which excited her the most for obvious reasons. Having a need to pull someone out on the dance floor, her eyes started to scan the room. When they landed on Riley Otis, she was quick to head her way. “Hi, Riley,” She approached her happily. “I believe this is our first time seeing each other outside of the studio. You look amazing, by the way.”

Featuring: @hattie-lockwood.

         “Alright. Let’s go get ourselves some tacos,” Once the older woman was ready to go and Ella finished paying for her drink, they exited the building. Stepping foot outside, she turned towards the direction of the food truck and headed that way. “I’m Ella, by the way.” She introduced herself to her fellow taco lover. “What’s your name?”

        “Sounds like you know how to have a lot of fun,” Ella smiled Ember’s way, fully impressed that she had a pet snake to begin with. “We should hang out more often.” She enjoyed everything the older woman listed and if she ever had the chance to meet her pet snake, she would enjoy it from afar. When it was her turn to answer, her smile never left her face. “I like to have fun at the bars, hang out with my siblings, Calvin and Chloe McCoy if you know them, watch trashy, reality TV and most of all, dance because it’s what I do for work.”

        “You have nothing to apologize for, Aspen,” Smiling happily towards Aspen, Ella placed her hand on her shoulder to reassure her. “I honestly can’t agree with you more. Alex should still be in the next upcoming season and Jo deserves the world and more.” Letting her hand fall back to her side, she was enjoying this date with her more than she thought. It was easy to talk to the younger woman and she couldn’t get enough. Nodding to her thanks and next statement, she followed her lead and took a sip of her drink. “It was mine too for a long time. Finding free time in my work schedule is harder for me than I thought, but whenever I have a free weekend, I’ll be going there as fast as I can.” She laughed softly along with her. “That’s amazing! I’m happy for you. How did you get into them?”

        “Hmm, those are great ideas,” Her tone soft like a blanket and hunger thick like muscle, Ella slowly leaned towards Jaime until she was inches away from him. “I think you know exactly what I want.” Before she knew it, both of her palms were stuck to each side of his face and her lips were dancing with his. Kissing him passionately at first and deepening it every second she could, she was liking where this was heading. As her lips and tongue did wonders with his own, she was very confident in her kissing skills, but she was more hands-on when it came to great make-out sessions. Kissing him like no other, she let her hands do some magic. They had some fun running along and playing with his hair, but it was time they moved south. Running them down his chest and torso, they wanted to go straight for his pants and what was hiding underneath, but her teasing wasn’t done playing for the evening. Tugging lightly at his jeans, they moved underneath his shirt and met his abs. Making a mental note that she was going to lick them at some point, they explored his chest and gripped lightly when they landed on his shoulders. Pulling away from his lips, she caught her breath after a few moments and locked her lustful eyes with his. “I want to have crazy, hot sex with you right here, right now, but I have boundaries. Would you mind locking the front door? You can leave the windows as they are so there’s added risk to this.” She told him quickly, wanting to go back to what they were doing. “Also, are you in pain? If so, let me know what you can do. I don’t want you to hurt yourself. I’m more than willing to satisfy all of your needs without you moving an inch.”

        Leaning against the countertop holding a filled glass of lemonade, Ella couldn’t wipe off the wide smile on her face. All of this happening around her was kind of hard to believe. She was living with Chloe, her sister who she met just one year ago. Growing up, the only family she had was her nanny. Yes, her adopted parents cared for her, but not like her nanny did. Now, in the past year, she learned about her secret family. Her father, Declan, who she couldn’t live without, her older brother Calvin who seemed to be like nobody she ever imaged, and her older sister Chloe who she could see as her best friend in the near future. It was a lot to take in, but she already wouldn’t trade it for the world. “I did with the help of my favorite juicer,” She answered her sister happily before motioning towards the device. “Since my home is your home now, you’re more than welcome to use it and everything else in here.” She hasn’t had a roommate in a long time, so if she was going to be repetitive, she was going to say that sentence a lot more than she thought. Listening carefully to every word the blonde was saying, she felt her smile grow larger than it already was. “That’s amazing-” Those were the only two words she could happily spill out of her mouth before her face fell. “Sexually harassed?” She questioned, her features filled with concern and worry. She knew her half-sister definitely upgraded jobs, but she didn’t know to the extent of how bad her past job really was. She was going to answer her question at some point, but the new subject thrown the dancer’s way caught her attention head on. “Chloe, what was your other job like?” She questioned softly. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m more than thrilled that you’re out of there, but what happened?”

        “It’s very nice to meet you, Hattie,” Smiling as wide as Hattie, Ella came to a quick decision that they were going to get along just swimmingly. She had a good feeling about her and she always trusted her gut. “Thank you.” After grabbing it out of her hands, she played with the toy within her own before her eyes locked onto her new friend. “So, as we search for Trashbag, tell me about yourself.”

        “Yay!” Ella was excited to eat tacos, that was obvious, but she was also excited to be eating them with a new friend. “Now that sounds delicious. I’ll plan to do that when I have tacos again for dinner next Tuesday.” She commented as taco Tuesday’s were a tradition in her house. “Just down the street. I hope this doesn’t turn you off, but they come from a food truck.”
