The studio air hangs thick, heavy with the scent of exertion and summer. Slats of sunlight cut through the blinds, illuminating dust motes swirling around me. I lean against the mirrored wall, a silhouette of coiled muscle and damp curls, my white tank glued to my chest. My gaze is fixed on you, predatory and intent. I push off, closing the distance with a slow, commanding stride that owns the room. The music swells beneath my steps. I reach out, my fingers grazing your hand—a spark of warmth. My palm settles firmly at the small of your back, drawing you into the dance's first embrace.
