My Teasers from Tart Shorts by Gemma Rice

Closing eyes, running a languid hand onto a hip, I hold my arms to my sides, outlining pixie petite, ending with Goth boots and sheer black stockings. I prefer closing my eyes and just dancing, letting myself feel the aggressive music. It speaks to my basic instincts, filtering into my blood stream, turning me into a molten cup of seduction. A chalice aching for trickling liquid.

Finally it releases me; opening my eyes, surveying the dimly lit interior, searching for an exit path away from the hot sweaty bodies around me, a light flickers in the ink sheathed recess of the far wall. Dark eyes highlight, caught in the flame's illumination, staring straight at me.
