Astraea led him through the rapturous crowd as nearby dancers glided and shifted to make room for the pair. She stopped once she reached a decent spot in the middle of the floor and swiftly turned to face him. Just as she did the song changed, away with the high paced music, now a smoother, mellow tune flowed throughout the surround system. She glanced up at him, putting her free hand to his tie and lightly drew him closer.

Immediately, his captivating aroma, like dark chocolate mixed with spicy hints of sage and pepper, enclosed her. His warm scent made her bite her lip as she stared into those bright eyes. She moved her head to the side of his. Even in her heels, he was still a bit tall for her, so he slightly bent his head down to make it easier.

"This song... one of my favorites," she breathed, a dark seductive tone flowing from her lips.

Her voice brought warm blood to his cheeks, and the small hairs on his neck raised.

Her hands traveled down his back to his waist. She began pressing their pelvises together then paused, instead she took a small step back. His brow bared a slight arch in confusion.

"But first," She brought her hands to his front and began undoing the buttons of his suit, "this needs to go." She undid the last button and slid her hands up to his shoulders and pulled back the sleeves. He had on a matching vest underneath and she did the same with that as well.

"And where would I put it?" His voice was a low whisper. He stared with pure lust-filled eyes.

She only responded with a tiny smile. With the jacket and vest removed, her eyes looked past him.

"Kia!" she exclaimed.

He turned his head to follow her attention and found a small, golden-rose haired woman with a familiar expression of euphoria in her jade eyes. The woman, Kia, paused in her tracks and walked over to the two. Astraea put the two items in her hands, then softly placed her hand upon Kia's cheek.

"Kia, gorgeous, bring these to Maxx. I need him to keep a close watch for me," Astraea explained and watched Kia form a small smile. She peeked up at Astraea's companion, meeting his icy eyes. She glanced back at Astraea, blushing, and nodded. With that, Kia held onto the items and headed towards the bar. Astraea returned in front of him, her lip fixed into a closed grin.

"There, you can retrieve those later," she informed him.

He moved his mouth to speak but paused just as her hands found themselves touching him again. Slowly, her hands rubbed along the top of his broad shoulders then down his strong arms. She stopped when she felt the potent biceps hidden beneath the white fabric. "Mmm," she sounded, "now why would you want these hidden." She said as she gently squeezed his arm. He answered her with a slight grin.

She let go of his arms and replaced her hands on his back. Her hands explored him, steadily traveling down his spine until resting on his lower back. Their pelvises reunited and she glided her hips against him to the mellow, seductive nature of the music.

She had one leg in-between him as she slowly swayed her hips. He was hesitant though, a bit stiff. She smirked, sensing his hesitation. Gradually, she guided him in a swaying side to side motion. As she faced his chest, he bent his head down so the tip of his nose met her forehead. She inhaled his aroma, the feeling of ecstasy brewing within her. They were so close, but not close enough. At that realization, she leaned her head away from him and removed her leg from in-between thighs. She shifted her body around so her back was to him and immediately pressed herself against him. Her head fell back onto his shoulder as she added pressure onto his pelvis.
