“What do you say, lead dancer?” she asks. “Mind if my cousin and I sit in for a bit?”
“Not at all,” I assured her, before pulling up the song on my phone. “Okay, y’all, positions please!”
Dawn Anderson -September 12th, 2025
I was, once again, lost in a trance as I watched the way Raine led the group of dancers. They moved like one body to the music, hitting moves that I could only dream of mastering. I mean, I wasn’t the worst at dancing and could hold my own when it came time to perform, but I was nowhere near their level. Especially the one that Raine was on.
To me, Raine was the best dancer in the room. Hell, in the building! It was the way she was so powerful yet elegant. The way she moved commanded attention and screamed, “I’m that bitch, and I know it.” It was inspiring and sexy as fuck. Everyone else in the room faded away as my eyes stayed focused on her. I felt like I was attending a private concert, and when the music ended, I was up on my feet, clapping like I’d just witnessed the best damn magic show in the world.
“Simping ass,” Yari laughed as she shook her head beside me.
I ignored her as Raine looked at me with that smile that had a habit of stealing my breath away. She turned to talk to the dancers for a while longer before dismissing them to head home for the evening. They were excited and thankful to be off early. She just chuckled and told them she’d see them next week. Yari said to me that she was going to talk to our aunt for a bit before heading to football practice, then left only Raine and me in the room. I got up and walked over to help her tidy up.
“You be dancing your ass off, love,” I compliment. She glances at me with a bright smile. “I knew I was right to hire you. You amaze me more and more every time. How do you do it?”
She shrugs. “It’s in my bones, I guess,” she replies. “If I have a child in the future, I’d hope that they’d love dancing just as I do. I mean, it’s okay if they don’t, but I hope at least a little bit of my love for it would rub off on them.”
“I can already picture a mini-Raine dancing around the living room, talking about some ‘watch this’, but it’s actually goingto be good,” I joke, causing her to laugh uncontrollably. “And Imma cheer them on, too. Every step of the way.”
“You’re saying that like you plan to be living with me by then,” she smirks, putting down the items she has in her hand. She walks over to me, and I pull her closer, wrapping my hands around her waist.
“Like I said earlier, you know where I stand,” I smirk. She shakes her head, looking up at me as she sinks her teeth into her bottom lip. Ugh, she’s so fine.
“I don’t know anything,” she states. “We’ve been dating for weeks, yet you haven’t said anything about what we are.”
“You’re mine,” I state, staring into her eyes. “And I’m yours.”
“Hmm, I think I need more specifics.”
I nod, knowing exactly what she wants. I leaned down to kiss her as I walked her backwards until her back was against the full-length mirror on the wall. She whimpered softly as I took her hands and pinned them up above her head. I took in the way her eyes lit up with desire as fire built up in the pit of my stomach. When I leaned in to bite her ear softly, she sighed contentedly.
“You keep playing like you don’t know you’re my girlfriend when we both know that’s what it is,” I whisper before moving down to kiss her neck. She moaned. “I told you, you’re mine, Raine Williams. Understand?”
“You still gotta ask me,” she replied, breathlessly.
“Is that what you really want, baby?” I smirked, pulling back to look at the way she was lost in the feeling. She nodded. “Okay, gorgeous, I got you.”
I let go of her hands, and they instantly wrapped around me, pulling me closer until there was barely any space between us. My left leg slipped between hers accidentally, and when I tried to move, it pressed against her center, causing her to moan once more. It was a sound that I would’ve leaned into had we not beenin this open dance studio. I tried to pull away, but she tightened her grip.
“Again,” she whispered, and my eyebrows lifted a bit. “Please…”
Shit, if she didn’t care, neither did I.
I placed both hands on the mirror on either side of her head and licked my lips, looking down at her. She was panting softly as she stared back up at me. Quickly, I flipped us around until my back was against the mirror and she was in front of me. I then pulled her closer and moved my leg to the perfect angle for her to grind against. I watched as her face twisted in pleasure with every movement.
My hands were on her hips, helping her chase that feeling that had her head falling back. I had to kiss her to keep her voice down because my baby was loud. I felt excitement build in my stomach as I thought about just how much noise she’d make once we were in private. When her pace began to quicken, I knew that she was close.
“That’s it, Princess,” I coax, feeling her warmth seeping through the material of my sweatpants. “Take what you need. Mmm, I know she’s been waiting for this. Don’t worry, I got you.”
“Dawn,” she moaned.
“Do you want to be my girlfriend, baby?” I asked. “You want that title, gorgeous?”
“Yes,” she panted, still grinding against my leg. “So much, oh god!”
“Shit, you look so beautiful like this,” I told her. “You ready to come for me, love?”
“Yes! Yes, please!” she whined as I applied a bit more pressure. “Dawn..I’m gonna-”
