"The vibe's great, right, Aeri?" Sonny asked, leaning closer so I could hear him over the pounding music, his dark eyes catching the neon glow, his smile wide and infectious.

"Truly," I said, my voice raised to match his, a grin spreading across my face as I nodded. "It feels different than any other club I've been to. Like, wilder somehow." I glanced out at the dance floor, where bodies moved in sync with the beat, the energy contagious.

Sonny chuckled, his arm shifting slightly on the couch, the warmth of his presence making my heart beat a little faster. "Just wait," he said, his voice teasing, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "Things are about to get even more heated up."

I tilted my head, my brow furrowing with curiosity. "Heated up? What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, my voice playful but genuinely intrigued, my fingers fidgeting with the hem of my skirt.

Before Sonny could answer, a loud voice boomed over the speakers, cutting through the music. "Ladies and gentlemen!" the announcer called, his tone charged with excitement. "The moment you've all been waiting for is here!" The crowd erupted in cheers, heads turning toward the main arena as heavy curtains lifted with a dramatic flourish.

My eyes widened as I saw a massive glass bowl suspended above the dance floor, sparkling under the flashing lights. Inside, three women in tiny bikinis stood poised, their bodies barely covered, their skin catching the neon glow. Suddenly, water poured down from above, cascading over them, soaking their bikinis as they began to move, their hips swaying to the beat.

"What the…" I gasped, my hand flying to my mouth, my cheeks flushing hot as I stared, my heart pounding.

The sight was bold, almost shocking, the women's movements sultry and unapologetic as the crowd below cheered and danced.

Sonny laughed, his warm chuckle cutting through my shock as he slid closer on the couch, his arm brushing my shoulder, pulling me just a bit nearer. "Haha, nice reaction," he said.

"That's… too seducing," I said, gulping, my voice barely audible over the music as I glanced at him, my blush deepening.

"It truly is," Sonny replied, his voice low and smooth as he reached out, his thumb brushing gently across my cheek, the touch sending a fresh wave of heat through me. I blushed even harder, my heart racing as I met his gaze, his smile warm but bold, like he was enjoying my reaction as much as the show.

The music shifted, the beat growing faster, and the women in the bowl danced with more intensity, their bodies moving fluidly, water splashing around them as the crowd's energy surged. Everyone's eyes were glued to the spectacle, cheers and whistles rising above the music. I couldn't help but stare, my eyebrow raising as I took it all in.

"Damn…" I muttered, my voice a mix of awe and disbelief, the scene pulling me in despite my shock.

My mind flashed back to college, when my friend Sara used to drag me to clubs like this, her wild ideas always landing us in places I'd never go on my own. I'd never been to a spot this bold with a guy, though, and definitely not alone with someone like Sonny. If Ezra knew I was here, he'd be so mad, I thought, a pang of guilt hitting me as I sighed, my fingers tightening in my lap. I could almost hear his voice, frustrated and protective, telling me I shouldn't be in a place like this.

The music surged, the beat growing faster snd then, in a bold move, they reached up, unhooked their bras, and tossed them aside, their bare boobs exposed as they continued dancing, their movements fluid and unapologetic. The crowd erupted in cheers, the energy spiking as eyes locked on the spectacle.

"Ahem!" I coughed, my hand flying to my mouth as my cheeks burned, my eyes wide with shock. I grabbed the glass of water from the table in front of me, taking a quick sip to cover my embarrassment, the cool liquid doing little to calm the heat in my face.

Sonny chuckled, his warm laugh cutting through the music as he leaned closer, his dark eyes twinkling with amusement. "You okay there, Aeri?" he teased, his voice playful as he watched my flustered reaction.

I pouted, my cheeks still flaming as I set the glass down, my fingers fidgeting in my lap.

"Don't tease me," I said, my voice low but firm, though a small smile tugged at my lips. "I'm not a regular at stuff like this, okay? This is… intense."

Sonny's smile softened, his eyes warm as he leaned forward, his face inching closer to mine, close enough that I could feel the warmth of his breath. "I know, relax," he said, his voice gentle but with a teasing edge. "I'm not teasing. I just find you extremely cute." My heart skipping as our eyes locked.

"I see…" I muttered, my voice barely audible over the beat, my blush deepening as I tucked a strand of my long dark hair behind my ear, trying to steady my racing heart.

Sonny's hand found mine, his touch warm and firm as he stood, tugging me gently to my feet. "Come on," he said, his voice full of excitement, his smile inviting. "Let's dance together."

I hesitated for a second, my heart thumping, but his enthusiasm was contagious. "Okay…" I said, nodding slowly, a nervous but excited smile spreading across my face as I let him lead me toward the dance floor.

We weaved through the crowd, the music vibrating through my chest as we reached the center, joining the sea of people moving to the beat. Above us, the semi-naked dancers in the glass bowl swayed, their bare bodies glistening under the neon lights, the crowd's energy feeding off their boldness.

Sonny's hands slid to my shoulders, his touch light but steady as we started to move together, our bodies finding the rhythm.

"Have you done this before?" he asked, his voice raised over the music, his hands guiding my movements as he stepped closer, his smile warm and encouraging.

"Yeah, with my friends sometimes," I replied, shouting to be heard, my body loosening up as I swayed to the beat, my nerves easing in the music's flow. I thought of those college nights with Sara, dancing in crowded clubs, but this felt different—wilder, more intimate with Sonny's hands on me.

His mouth came closer, his breath warm against my ear as he took my hands, our fingers intertwining. We moved together, the music guiding us, and then he spun me around, my skirt flaring slightly as I twirled, a laugh escaping my lips.

He pulled me back, his grip firm, and in a swift move, he lifted one of my legs to rest against his side, his hand sliding to my waist, steadying me.

His other hand brushed just under the hem of my skirt, locking me against his hips as he leaned forward, his face dipping close to my cleavage. My breath caught, my heart racing as our bodies pressed together, the heat of his touch electric under the flashing lights.

Sonny spun me around, my skirt flaring again as I twirled, a laugh escaping my lips. I landed with my back to him, his hands finding my waist, pulling me close. My ass pressed against his groin, and I swayed my hips, rubbing against him, the movement bold and instinctive, the music driving me. His warmth enveloped me, the beat syncing with our bodies as we moved together.

"Yeah, that's good," Sonny murmured, his voice low and warm against my neck, his breath sending a shiver down my spine. His hands slid up my sides, stopping just slightly cupping my breasts, his fingers brushing the edges of my sweater, teasing but not crossing the line. He pressed his groin closer, matching my rhythm, the contact intense and electric.

This feels so unreal, I thought, my heart racing as we danced, the heat of his body mixing with the club's pulsing energy. It was intense, almost overwhelming, how quickly things had escalated with Sonny, a stranger who felt anything but. I lost myself in the music, my body moving on autopilot, swaying and grinding against him. At some point, a glass of wine appeared in my hand—I didn't even remember grabbing it, the club's chaos blurring time.

Sonny raised his own glass, and we clinked them together, laughing as we sipped, the wine mixing with the heat in my veins.

"Cheers to a wild night," Sonny said, his lips brushing my shoulder from behind, the light kiss sending a jolt through me. I giggled, turning in his arms, wrapping mine around his neck, my body straddling his as he held me up, his hands strong and steady. His fingers slipped under the hem of my skirt, grazing my ass curves as we danced, the touch bold but fleeting, keeping me locked against him.

I laughed, my head spinning from the wine, the music, and his closeness, my cheeks flushed with heat. "When did this get so crazy?" I shouted over the music, my voice light and playful, my body swaying with his, the crowd around us a blur of moving shapes.

Sonny grinned, his face close to mine, his eyes catching the neon lights. "Told you this place was special," he said, his voice teasing as he spun me again, pulling me back against his chest, his hands back on my waist then slowly slidind down and grabbed my ass as a whole. "You're keeping up just fine, Aeri."

"Ahm.." I gasped feeling his sudden pull, holding my ass. His finger gently touched at the center of heat.
