The thumping beat of the music in combination with the bit of alcohol and cake in her system were all working in tandem to ensure that Tess was sufficiently loosened up. In fact, the longer that she danced with Luke on the dance floor, the more she started to feel like that loosening up was heading in a different direction. Namely, one of desire.<br/><br/>Luke’s body nudged and bumped against hers, teasing her with the endless possibilities of what he could do with those moves and how much more passionate she’d feel if they were dancing sideways. Tess couldn’t help but to think about sex on the dancefloor, especially while being surrounded by others who were grinding so hard they were practically humping.<br/><br/>It had been so long since she got any action, though - was she really ready for this?<br/><br/>Luke leaned in close to whisper and Tess grinned at his words. “Me too,” she perked her brows, something about her expression suggestion that if it were not for the alcohol and the cake to absorb most of said alcohol, then this little number would likely not be happening at the club.<br/><br/>Once more he leaned in and this time his hand gripped her waist, pulling her into him a little more as he whispered a salacious question that she was hoping he’d ask. Tess bit her lower lip and nodded, trying not to let out a squeal of excitement in the process. “Sounds great. Let’s go.” She said, almost in a rush, as she tugged him off the dancefloor and back to the table.<br/><br/>Astrid was glaring at her while eating cake and Annie was flirting with a guy that looked like he could be a bouncer. “Hey, um, we’re gonna get out of here. Did you guys need help cleaning up?” Tess asked, her hand gesturing with a wave toward the presents and cake. Astrid’s panhandle expression never left her as she replied in a sarcastic tone. “No, by all means, we set it up, why shouldn’t we also clean it up?”<br/><br/>Tess grinned and leaned in to give Astrid a hug. “Exactly my thoughts. Thanks, you’re the best!” She then rushed over to Annie and gave her a hug as well, before grabbing her purse and nodding to Luke. “Okay, I’m ready.” She murmured, her twinkling eyes suggesting that she was ready for more than just the trip over to his apartment. Letting him take the lead, Tess eagerly followed.
