Ada: I have an idea that I think will help. An agreement. Tonight, let's have fun and make choices that won't make it weird tomorrow. ::She looked into Is'Kah's dark brown eyes and absentmindedly bit her lip for a second before she caught herself.:: So it's kinda up to us to decide what that is.
They shared a moment, gazing into each other's eyes, with a force of longing so severe it could rend atoms.
Is'Kah: That sounds like a perfect idea. I believe the human phrase that applies here is: “What happens on Earth, stays on Earth.”
Azura stood up, excited, and blushing. She offered the other woman her hand.
Ada: Great! Now, I believe you were telling me I needed to seduce you on the dance floor?
The hybrid bit zhen lower lip before rising and taking Azura’s hand.
Is'Kah: Show me what you have learned, my sexy gakusei.
Ada: I'll do my best, sensei. I'm not exactly the fastest study in the world.
As she stepped back onto the dance floor, Azura relaxed, and began rolling her hips and shoulders along with the slinky groove as the lights played off their faces and traced their figures. Is'Kah was stunning in her outfit--the black leather, and the fabric of her top draped so nicely. They danced together, sometimes closer and something further. Azura's hands found thier way to Is'Kah's lower back during a slower song, or running over the hybrid's undercut during the breakdown of another.
Other people noticed them, tried to join in on the dancing, but would inevitably drift away after they realized their attentions were affixed on each other.
Azura could feel the heat building between them, and the dancing was invigorating. The song reached a fevered climax as the two danced close, bodies entwined, when the song gave way to a placid outro. As Azura grasped the hybrid's hips, Is'Kah reached up, and brushed her cheek before grabbing the woman by the back of the head and pulling her face down close the hybrid's.
They exchanged a hesitation before pressing this lips together--first gently, then passionately. As they pulled away, Azura studied the hybrid's face for a moment before laughing.
Ada: It's wild that "skydiving through the mesosphere" is only the second most exciting thing to happen today?
Is'Kah: I think you’ve figured out how to seduce me.
Ada: So it would seem.
She played it cool, as if she wasn't also a being of pure sapphic yearning at this point. The music picked back up, and Azura grinned and pulled away from Is'Kah, beckoning zhen to dance more, her hips working to the beat. Her fluidity didn't match Is'Kah's, but it was certainly better than before. Is'Kah was right--she just needed clarity of purpose. As Is'Kah approached her, Azura reached out and snagged zhen by the hips and pulled zhen close.
Is'Kah: ?
Ada: Another drink?
oO Maybe the last one before we get out of here? Oo
Is'Kah: ?
