Excerpt

With their hands lightly clasped, Nivi drew one of his hands closer and pushed the other away. And then she started them in the warm-up phase of the anaid.

Push away. Push together. Don’t lose contact.

It added a new dimension to do it this way, with their gazes locked on each other, too. The movements were slow, sensual even, heat building between them that wasn’t all from exertion. At times only the tips of their fingers touched, at others they were in full body contact. She’d assumed desire would distract, but it didn’t. She felt herself move into first fugue state earlier and with less effort.

The music’s pace picked up and so did their movements. They still sought contact, but the moves became more combative as if he knew this would aid her in reaching the next fugue state.

With one fist in his palm, she thrust with the other, high, switch hands, go low, then toward the center. Thrust, counter thrust, but she stopped the force right before contact, as did he. The bulk of the battle happened inside her head. She spun briefly losing contact, but his hands came around her waist and now she moved with her back to his front. He did not falter or stumble once, his moves mirroring hers. How was this possible?

She spun in his hold and watched him now. Then she realized that he wasn’t just matching her moves. She was matching his. Or rather, neither followed the other. They moved together as if they knew each other’s movements, sending her through the fugue states with an ease she’d never experienced before.

“He doesn’t know me,” she said, spinning again, her elbow jab blocked by his arm. She turned again. “You know me better than he ever did.”

His gaze glowed with fire and he brought it to the anaid. If anyone had been watching, they’d have thought it was a fierce battle, not two people making love the only way they could for now.
