"Gabe, we finally found someone with a better ass than you." Josie is doubled over wheezing laughing. My jaw clenches.
I work hard for my ass. I do squats whenever I can and I never skip leg day.
I follow Heath's line of sight to see a girl dancing.
She's wearing a light green dress that look to be satin from here. It hugs her breasts which sit perfectly on her. The dress sits barely on the top of her thighs, threatening to expose her to the world. A pang of anger flashes through me at the thought of her dress riding up.
She has the biggest smile on her face and it makes my insides melt a little bit. Her skin shines like gold in the sweaty club. Her hair is all over the place and my fingers itch to run through it and fix it all.
She spins around and holy shit, Josie was right. I don't know how she contained that in such a tiny dress but the result is delectable. Blood rushes to my groin and I groan. Well I see my target.
