Lizzy bites her lip, trying to suppress a smile. I can't resist leaning in, pressing my lips to her ear again. "You drive me crazy, you know that?"
She looks up at me, her eyes dark with something that matches the fire in my chest. "Good," she whispers, her voice barely audible over the music. "I like knowing I have that effect on you."
Before I can say anything else, she pulls away, grabbing Dorothy's hand and spinning her around in a playful dance. I watch them, my heart pounding in time with the music, knowing that no matter what happens tonight, Lizzy is the one thing I can't get enough of.
The rest of the night passes in a blur of music, laughter, and stolen glances. Every time Lizzy dances close to me, I have to fight the urge to pull her into my arms and kiss her until we're both breathless. But instead, I play it cool, letting her have her fun, even though every second that passes only makes me want her more.
