It felt so good dancing like this, feeling comfortable enough to accept those touches, and affected enough by the touches that he couldn't truly be comfortable at all. His fingers sifted through Ariel's hair as he moved, and his head dipped slightly, taking a page from Robbie's book. He let his breath tease against Ariel's neck, and now and then he let his lips brush the skin. He loved doing it almost as much as he loved the dangerous feel of experiencing it.

Ariel closed his eyes and let himself feel. He refused to let himself think that anything could happen, but he could enjoy. He tested further the boundaries of his hands by shifting up Markise's shirt, something he never would have tried before the night they had spent together. It all felt like pretense, neither taking what they really wanted, but what he really wanted wasn't right.

It was so good, but Markise was plenty sober enough to hear the song ending, and he hadn't forgotten his intention to return to Anna after it. He had brought her here for a night of distraction, not to get pulled into the lifestyle he led. As much fun as it was, the satisfaction didn't last and there was always that feel of desperation when the moment passed. He didn't wish that on her.
Markise gave a groan of disappointment at the end of the song. He lifted his head, but didn't pull back just yet. He'd hold on for as long as he could and ask for another dance later. His tongue swept briefly over his lips as his eyes rose to find Ariel's.
"I have to go," he said, only just loud enough to be heard. "I brought a friend tonight and I don't trust the guys not to ruin her while I'm gone."

Ariel's eyebrows came together. Where would Markise have gotten a friend that wasn't part of his normal group? He didn't take his arms from Markise, instead he pulled him closer. "One more?" he asked softly. If the friend, whoever she was, was important enough for Markise to leave, he didn't know how easy it would be for him to find Markise again for another dance later, or if it would even be possible.

Markise's brows drew together, and his gaze dropped to Ariel's lips for just one moment of nearly undeniable temptation. He needed to go. He needed to make sure the guys weren't getting Anna drunk or telling her things she didn't need to know. But this felt so good. His tongue swept across his lips again and he nodded, his eyes lifting to Ariel's. "One more," he said. It wouldn't be enough, but a few more minutes wouldn't hurt. Markise leaned into Ariel again, letting his cheek brush Ariel's as he returned to the motions of dancing.

Anna had just gotten back to the table after the two songs when Robbie came back, without Markise. She was curious where he was but this was his night to let loose. She knew he probably didn't dance with just the group and with how good he looked it was likely that he received another offer to dance.
Robbie had intended to come straight back, but he'd gotten distracted with another dance between the bar and the booth. He was back now, though, and he greeted Anna before asking her to dance. It was a favor for Angel, but he thought he'd enjoy dragging Anna out of her shell. Anna accepted and went with him, weaving deeper onto the dance floor.Robbie pulled Anna close, though not quite as close as she'd been earlier. Not yet. For now it was enough to settle his hands against her hips, guiding them in a teasing motion. He wouldn't push it too far and risk pissing Angel off, but he'd push it as far as he could go.
Anna still wasn't sure what to make of Robbie. Perhaps it was the warning Markise had given her out by the lake, or maybe it was just knowing that he wasn't completely gay, but she didn't feel quiet as safe dancing with him. She inclined her head to give him a nervous smile before looking away as they began moving to the beat. She glanced around at the crowd to try and keep her mind off her dance partner and thought she caught a glimpse of a familiar form. She focused her attention and her eyes widened with attention before she caught herself staring and quickly turned to Robbie's chest. His interaction with his partner was definitely more than she'd seen between Markise and Robbie, and it felt like an invasion of his privacy to have watched for even that brief moment.

Ariel's eyes closed at the closeness of the dance and his hands settled on Markise's hips for just a moment before circling his waist and pulling him tight. He loved the feel of Markise against him, of Markise's soft skin touching his face, but he realized that it could very well be the last time he would see Markise for the night. Because of that, he focused all his attention on the feel of Markise, tuning out everything but him and the music.

Markise wanted to find Ariel again later tonight. Ariel was the reason he'd come to this club instead of Popstarz or one of the other clubs the guys were into. He soaked up every second of this dance all the same, from the pounding beat of the music to the feel of Ariel's body against his. It felt so good, so much like that night they'd spent together, and it felt like everything was being renewed. The slight shift of the bracelet around his left wrist reminded him that this was as far as it should go.
Robbie had been just about to move his hands against Anna's waist when her eyes had gone wide and she'd more or less ducked against him. He didn't particularly care what she had seen, and with what Markise had told her, it could have been anything, so he didn't bother looking over his shoulder. "You all right there?" he asked, keeping his hands stationary for now.

Anna nodded without looking up at Robbie, hoping that between her hair and the lighting her silly blushes wouldn't be noticeable. "I'm just, not used to seeing...." Anna gestured a hand to the side close to one of Robbie's shoulders in the direction of Markise while keeping her eyes on the front of Robbie's shirt. She managed to finish her sentence, finding words that she could actually get out. "..all that." Seeing Markise and his partner like that had taken her mind off of being wary of Robbie and she had practically forgotten about their position.

Ariel was taking everything he possibly could from the dance, already half-decided that he would try to leave once they parted, if only to keep himself from hoping for anything more. He already had plans for the next day, anyway. One hand moved down to the back of Markise's pants while the other arm remained tight around him.

Markise hummed with pleasure, a sound he wasn't even aware of making. He was loving this, whatever it was between them that screamed so loudly, even if he couldn't understand it. He hadn't found it anywhere else, and he didn't know why it had come when it had, or what it was about being with Ariel that brought it, but he loved it far too much to deny. It felt so good having Ariel wrapped around him, so good feeling that thick hair slide between his fingers.
Robbie only looked because Anna had pointed. He didn't know what he'd expected to see, but it certainly hadn't been Angel letting that bloody Australian get away with things he practically had to beg for. His eyes darkened.

When no response came from Robbie, Anna glanced up through her eyelashes, only inclining her head as much as she had to for a glimpse of his face. What she saw scared her. He hadn't appeared so....dark a minute ago. She would have backed up a step, but his hands were still firmly in place on her hips. "Um, you alright?" She asked, not realizing she was repeating his own words from a moment ago.

Ariel heard the soft sound from Markise only because his head was so close to Markise's. It warmed his blood and he pulled his hand from the back of Markise's pants to move into his hair instead. He hated the thought of the song ending and so refused to think about it, even when it tried to seep in through the motions of their bodies together.

It was getting so hard to hold back, and Markise's mind began whispering suggestions. That hand in his hair was so nice. Maybe just one kiss... He turned his head slightly and brushed his lips against the edge of Ariel's jaw, not a true kiss, but satisfying all the same. For all of a few seconds before he had to do it again.
Robbie's eyes darkened further, and he only just heard the small female voice over the music. He looked back down at Anna, but gestured toward the two with a light nod of his head. "That bloke there's always tryin' it on with Angel, interrupting us. Complete wanker, he is."

Anna couldn't resist another quick glance their way but wished she had. It looked like they were practically making out on the dance floor how close they were. Turning back to Robbie she looked up as she spoke. "I don't know who he is, Markise only mentioned you and the guys." The thought of Markise's ex didn't even come to mind; Markise had said his ex went to a different club, and he hadn't mentioned anyone else meeting up with him tonight. She didn't want to look close or keep watching though, it felt so wrong.
