One dance turns into two, but by the third dance, all structure was thrown out of the window, and we were legit having a dance party featuring a playlist of songs from our childhood. Nostalgia hit us in waves as the muscle memory kicked in when certain songs played. I swear, it had been a long time since I’d laughed this hard.
This feeling was one I’d only ever gotten with Ginger during our many sleepovers when we were younger, and that time with that one kid at the park all those years ago. I’d forgotten just how good it felt to let go and be free. I needed to feel that more often, and I had a feeling that being with Dawn would afford me that opportunity, and I loved that for me. For us.
“Damn, I’m tired,” she sighed as we collapsed on the floor beside each other. Our breathing was heavy, and I could seeDawn’s face glowing a beet-red color. She glanced over at me. “That was fun as hell. We should do that more often, right?”
“I agree,” I nodded. There was a beat of silence between us before I said, “Thank you, by the way. I needed that break to clear my mind. I’d really stressed myself out and spiraled, but now I feel more grounded.”
“I’m happy to hear that,” she says, sitting up. I do so as well. “Whenever you need to get away from it all and clear your mind, just know that I’m always here, okay? I gotchu, love.”
“And I appreciate it,” I smile right as my stomach growls. I chuckle. “I guess that’s another sign that I need to get up outta here, huh?”
“Sure is,” she nods, standing. She helps me up as well. “How does chicken and rice and gravy sound for dinner?”
“Oooh, are you gonna cook for me?” I ask, smiling sweetly, and she nods.
“Of course, my love,” she nods. “It’ll finally give me a chance to show you that your girl can throw down.”
“Mm, well then, I’d definitely love that,” I assure her.
“Then let’s head out, baby.”
I nod, allowing her to take my hand. She guides me back over to the bench and tells me to sit as she packs up my things. Once that’s all done, we exit the room, cutting off the light and closing the door behind us. It only took us about ten minutes to arrive at her apartment, and I went to take a shower as she started on the food. When I was smelling good, she went to shower, and I watched over the food. By the time she was done, I’d fixed us both a serving, and we enjoyed the delicious meal as we binge-watched a show we’d started a few days ago. It was a peaceful night, and I loved just being in her company like this.
CHAPTER 10
Highs & Lows.
Dawn Anderson - October 2nd, 2025
I collapsed on the sofa in my dressing room as I yanked the in-ears from my ears, tossing them on the table nearby. My heart was beating fast as I tried to calm down from the most intense two hours I’d ever experienced.
Today was the last day of rehearsals before the tour, and we’d been running through the entire show with minimal breaks all day. I knew that it was crucial to make sure everything was up to par, but I wasn’t gonna sit here and lie by saying that it wasn’t tiring as hell. All I wanted to do was go home, hop in the shower, and then crash.
What about Raine?
I perked up at the thought of my girlfriend. Ugh, it still felt so good to call her that! It’s been amazing getting to know her over these past couple of months, and every day, I feel myself falling deeper and deeper for her. She was beyond amazing, and I thank all the Gods and deities of the universe for bringing us together.
Whenever we weren’t working, we were spending time together, either going out on dates or hanging out at my apartment. I loved just being in her company, but I also loved all the times when I got to give her body the attention it deserved.It was something I craved constantly, and I could tell by the way her breath always caught when I was about to kiss her, or the way she moaned when I pulled her in for a hug, that she felt the same.
I smiled at the thought of her nails pressing into my back as we slipped against each other, chasing that feeling of flesh against flesh. I could still smell the sweet scent of her vanilla and peach perfume, mingling with her natural essence. I almost moaned out loud as I envisioned her legs shaking against my ears as I devoured her sweetness, my favorite treat.
“Fuck!” I groaned, shaking my head. “What is she doing to me?”
“You okay, Dawn?”
My head snaps towards the door as the woman of my dreams looks at me in concern. My frustration was gone, but what replaced it was my need to touch her. So, I got up from where I was sitting and minimized the space between us. The second I was in her space, I gently pulled her in and guided her until her back was up against the door. Her breath hitches as she stares at me.
“Dawn…”
“Yes, baby?” I whisper against her lips as my hands massage her hips lightly. I buried my nose in her neck and inhaled. “You smell so damn good, love.”
“You just can’t keep your hands to yourself, huh?” she chuckled softly. I continued to kiss her. “Mm, Dawn, that feels good.”
I pulled back a bit to take in her expression. Her cheeks were flushed, and there was a look of need in her eyes. I smirked deviously. We had plans to go out with my cousin and a few other friends tonight to celebrate the end of rehearsals, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to focus on anything if I didn’t get atleast one orgasm out of her. I needed her coming on my fingers almost as much as I needed air to breathe.
Was I worried that someone might walk in on us because there were still people in the building right outside the door? I probably should be, but I wasn’t. Everyone knew that when my dressing room door was closed, it meant not to disturb me unless there was an emergency. Usually, I only closed it when I needed to do a steam treatment for my throat or when I was meditating, but this was something that warranted alone time, too, in my opinion.
Besides, the door was locked anyway.
