The Dance

Chapter 98 Divide and Conquer

Lila and Matt met Bam and Jill mid way through the dance floor each grabbing their respective partner. Lila kissed Bam in the middle of the dance floor knowing that he disliked public displays of attention. "What was that for?" He asked with a smile.

"Just for being the man I know you to be." Lila rubbed her hand up and down his shirt.

"Mrs. Brown, don't get my motor started here." Lila giggled and lead him to the patio to express her appreciation for welcoming Jill in the fold.

Matt slipped his arm around Jill's waist as the music slowed. He pulled her closer to him and hummed along to the music in her ear. Jill draped her arms around his neck and let herself get lost in the moment.

Meanwhile on the patio, Lila reminisced about her shoe getting stuck in the patio a year ago at their first meeting. Bam played along with her and pretended to loosen her heel from the wood but this time Lila slid her dress up just enough to tease Bam with her thigh high nylons. His hand glided up from her ankle to her calf and then found its way to her inner thigh. He stroked her softly and she moaned her pleasure at his touch. Bam pulled her into the darkness and continued to tempt her in wicked ways.

Back on the dance floor, Matt and Jill continued their embrace as the dance floor emptied and the band took a break. Jill whispered to her dance partner. "Matthew, the music has stopped."

Without missing a beat, Matt replied, "Not in my mind." Matt held Jill tighter and continued to dance with her until they were the only couple standing.

A disheveled Lila and a smiling Bam came in from the patio. Lila made a beeline for the ladies room to compose herself. Matt chuckled as she whizzed by him. "What's that about?" Jill asked perplexed.

Matt laughed. "I think it's called payback." Jill excused herself to the ladies room to check on Lila. She found her readjusting her dress and hair.

"Everything okay in here?" Jill asked with her eyes closed.

"My husband just got a little too amorous on the patio. I really should know better than to tease him, especially here."

"What's so special about the patio?" Jill's interest peaked.

"It's where Bam and I first met. And the rest, well, the rest is history." Lila glowed when she said those words.

"So you and Matthew appear to be hitting it off." Lila turned to look at Jill's eyes to see her reaction.

"He's very different from the guys I've dated before. He has an interesting soul." Jill ran her fingers through her short hair. "And his eyes, I could get lost in those beautiful blue eyes."

Lila was pleased to hear Jill's thoughts on Matt. "He's a good man, Jill. I love him almost as much as I love Bam but you know in a brotherly way."

"I know you do. Your husband informed me that if I hurt Matt, I would have to deal with you."

Lila tried not to giggle. "Yep, that's why I love my husband. He knows me well."

"Lila, we'll take it slow. I promise."

Lila and Jill exited the bathroom to find a couple of girls circling their table and their men. Lila wasted no time in clearing a path to the table and Jill followed her lead. "Sorry ladies. This table is already occupied by us." Lila flashed a look of contempt at the two overly made up women.

The busty blonde was about to mouth off when Lila's dark eyes narrowed and she stated her claim again. "Ladies, your treading on thin ice. I suggest you leave what's mine alone." To back Lila up, Jill placed her hands on the back of Matt's shoulders staking her claim to him just by her touch. Matt didn't protest. He was rather flattered to have a woman claim him especially the one standing behind him.

"We leave you alone for five minutes and already the flies are drawn to you like honey."

The pair backed off and scurried to another table of single men. Lila turned to the brothers with her hands planted firmly on her hips. "Okay you two chick magnets, how about taking Jill and I out for a bite to eat?"

Jill chuckled as Lila was so forthright in her comments. She got no protest from the brothers who eagerly voted for food over dancing. Matt and Bam trailed behind Lila and Jill as they strolled over to the diner for dinner.
"Damn, Bam, how did we get so lucky?" Matt's arms were outstretched motioning to the pair of beauties that walked before them.

Bam shook his head and replied,  "Brown luck."
