Do um... do you have snakes down there, too?"She smiled a wicked smile. "Only one way to find out. Want to go back to my lair?" Come on," she said nod...ing towards the door, "or are you afraid, Hannah?" "No," I said trying to keep my voice calm. I wasn't really keen on the idea of getting my tongue bit off by snakes, and I also wasn't sure how I was going to kiss her either without a similar outcome. The image of snakes nipping my face with their nasty fangs filled my mind."So are you allowed to. There is no glimpse, no hint of what is waiting on the other side of the door. Your hand reaches out, your left hand, with the shiny engagement ring. A simple rat-a-tat-tat beats out the signal to let you in.I open the door, smiling, stepping to the side to let you enter. I watch you as I close the door behind you. You look around, admiring the room then take a few steps forward to stare out the window, admiring the view of the city from our elevated perspective. I step behind you, my fingers. Louise never told on me. She was happy to suck my cock for money. I’ve never had anyone turn me down. Not even Lorraine. I remember what a good laugh we had when I was diddling her behind your back.”Dom’s eyes clouded over with anger. “Watch yourself, Marcus.”Marcus laughed and walked away. Dominic was shaking his head when he noticed that Grace was standing there.She hadn’t meant to eavesdrop. When Dom saw the look on her face, he sighed heavily. “I’m sorry you had to hear any of that.”Grace’s. We chatted about some other stuff and ordered another drink.It was about 2:30am and the bar had done last call. I thanked him for the drinks and told him I was going to head home. He asked why so soon and asked if I wanted to dance. The club didn't close for another hour but I was hesitant. This guy was older and to be honest I had never danced with a black guy before. After multiple requests on his part I agreed and we went out onto the dance floor. The music was pop/hip hop and we started.
