“I’m sorry. I’m Brady Ryan. Nice to meet you.”
“Well, it’s nice to meet you, Mr. Ryan. I’m Annabelle Hart, the owner of Hart & Soul Dance. I’ll just go grab Natalie for you.”
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have interrupted.”
“Don’t worry about it, Brady. Natalie’s last class is done for the day. She’s dancing for herself now.” Annabelle winks then walks into the studio that Natalie is still dancing in and waits for the music to end before interrupting Nat.
Looking surprised, she turns around and sees me through the glass. Men would go to war for the smile that graces her face.
Knowing I put it there has me standing taller.
Walking back through the door, Annabelle turns to Natalie, “I’ll be in the office if you need anything.” She smiles at Nat and heads down a long hall.
Nat opens the door wider for me to walk through. I spin around, taking in this room of mirrors and bars, with light pink walls and light wood flooring.
“Brady, what are you doing here?”
“I’m not sure exactly. I guess I wanted to see for myself if the fantasy lived up to reality.”
Natalie looks around, checking to see if we are alone. Then she grabs my hand and leads me into the room she was dancing in. Turning around to face me, she asks, “Well, does it?”
“Does the fantasy match the reality?”
Biting on that pouty bottom lip, she nods her head.
I grab her face and pull her to me. “The fantasy doesn’t hold a candle to the reality, Sweetheart.” Leaning down, I brush my lips over hers. Once, twice. Licking at the seam of her lips until she opens for me.
Nat surprises me and pushes her tongue into my mouth and tightens her arms around my neck.
I spin us around, leaning her against the wall so that she is pinned between me and the mirror. Her feet are off the ground, and her entire body is lined up with mine. I pull my head back momentarily, to look at this gorgeous girl, and can’t hold in my groan. Her lips are the prettiest shade of pink, cheeks flushed, and I can see her nipples harden under her sweater.
God, I want her more than my next breath.
She’s breathing heavily and looking at me with those dark lashes.
“Let me take you out this weekend, Nat. Saturday night? Let me do this the right way.”
She nods her head again.
“I need to hear the words, Sweetheart.”
“Saturday night sounds good, Brady.” She pulls away but has nowhere to go. She pushes me back a bit, and I let her body slide down mine until her feet are back on solid ground. “I don’t want to push you away, Brady, but I can’t do this here. I just met Annabelle. If she walked in…”
“I’ve got you, Sweetheart. I wouldn’t want to get you in trouble. I did want to see if you needed a ride home tonight?”
“No. I have the Jeep tonight. I’m parked behind the studio, in the back lot. I’m going to be here for a little while anyway. I’ll see you tomorrow at school, though. Thanks for stopping by, Brady.” There’s that damn smile again.
“You just gave me a whole new level of fantasy, Natalie. Trust me. The pleasure was all mine.” I lean down and kiss her lips quickly.
“See you tomorrow, Nat.”

Brady
Friday at school is our first pep rally of the season. It’s supposed to be for all fall sports, but football rules this school. If you play a fall sport, you are allowed to wear your uniform today. The football team is wearing their jerseys and jeans. The rest of the student body can pay $5.00 to dress down. When you dress down, you can wear whatever you want so long as you keep it appropriate.
It’s always a good day when we don’t have to wear our standard school uniform.
