Pairing Stahma/Kenya and since Stahma/Amanda is my OTP I added some in for fun.


"Dance with me."

Nothing had startled Stahma as much as that simple phrase had. It wasn't the phrase itself it was the fact that she so wanted to dance with the human woman. Feel the soft skin of her; and she just knew the skin would be soft.

"May I have another drink?" She said instead.

"Of course." Kenya smiled and waved for a refill of both of their drinks, "Their is no judgment here. You can have everything you want and then go back to your husband and your son."

Stahma paused and stared into the knowing woman's eyes and wondered how much she saw into her heart. She wondered if she knew the truth of her. If she knew what she really wanted; who she really wanted.

"Dance with me and we can pretend I am her." Kenya whispered softly.

"Isn't that strange for you, being her?" Stahma could not say the woman's name even if she so wanted to.

Kenya smiled happily, "I have been stranger things for uglier people." She stood up, "Now dance with me."

With that Stahma stood up and allowed herself to be lead to the dance floor. It only took a moment for Kenya to put her arms around her. She expected the dancing to be awkward but it wasn't. It felt different then when she danced with her husband and yet it felt the same. The music slowed and she felt the human woman's hand wander down her body but never to a place that she was uncomfortable with. Then she realized her hands had begun to wander as well.

"We can go upstairs if you'd like." Kenya whispered in her ear after the music stopped.

"I don't think I am ready for that." Stahma smiled at the human woman.

"Well your hand on my ass says otherwise."

Stahma pulled back almost in horror thinking she had offended the human in some way but then saw that she was almost laughing,

"Sometimes I wish your people could blush. I think it would look cute on you."

"Blush?"

"Yes. When human's get embarrassed blood rushes to interesting parts of our bodies and makes us turn red. It's rather fun."

"I think you like making people blush."

"I do." Kenya smiled, "If you change your mind about going upstairs with me I am always available." Stahma nodded and picked up her things. "You should tell her."

"I am married and have a son who I love."

"And you love my sister too."

"I never said that."

"You didn't have to." Kenya smiled as she headed toward another customer, "Come back anytime."
