Excerpt:
“Come on,” Julian says. “Let’s
dance.”
The place is massive, like a
warehouse, and packed with people. A techno dance hall; rhythm is blasting from
huge speakers; the smoky air is cut with flashing multicolored lasers; there’s
an elevated DJ stand up front and above this a video screen shows a mix of
people dancing at beaches, by pools, on boats, in clubs, on top of bars. Julian
follows me out to the dance floor and we’re caught in a wave of noise and
motion. He’s behind me with his hands on my hips. I move against him, getting
swept up in the beat and the dancing is around us and up on the screen and the
music is like a great pulse thrumming inside me, my hands drift down, over his
and he starts kissing my neck, I push my rear harder against him, his grip on
me tightens and the music squeezes through small spaces and lasers flash
through the haze and the bodies around us give off heat and we’re filmed in
sweat and surging sound and my head is thrown back on Julian’s shoulder, and
still the music and lights and smoke and motion, the sounds flip and whirl
together.
By the time we reach the car,
I’m hot and loose and my ears are ringing; the ride home is a blur of longing;
finally, we stumble into Julian’s room. “I want you,” he says.
