Next thing she knew, Nox’s arm was wrapped around her neck and she couldn’t help but be tugged into the embrace. Wide eyes exchanged looks with Ilesha, but the other girl was in the exact same predicament!
His turnings guided her gaze on a tour of the audience. She watched the women and men closely, noting the intimate ways they were all touching and leaning. Her big eyes glanced up at him. “They must be very good friends!” she nodded just as he guided their attention to the stage. Surely Nox wasn’t suggesting that they meet that girl too. Danika would be thrilled! Everyone was so talented. Her outfit didn’t fit very well though.
The invitation back stage sounded amazing. Danika nodded emphatically, but all the employees seemed rather busy meeting up with their many friends. It might be more than an hour before they were done for the night. Surely not more than that!
Ilesha seemed like she was stuck between being uncomfortable and very happy. Nox was whispering to her, and his laugh was quite melodious. Danika was one big smile for her friend.
“This is a nice shirt,” she said, patting Nox on the arm. Oh muscular. She pat his arm a second time just for emphasis. Inevitably her attention was pulled to the scars on display. “What happened there? Looks like you got scratched by a pet tiger! I’ve heard that rich movie stars and mafia types keep exotic animals like that. Tigers and hippopotamuses and stuff.”
