Chapter 4 Shalimar and Emma walked into the club and looked around.

"Wow, this place is huge," Emma screamed over the music as she look over the crowd of people.

"Yah, now lets get something to drink," Shal screamed as she started to make her way through the dancing crowd.

"Hey wait for me, I don't wanna get lost."

She ran to catch up with Shalimar - taking Shal's hand in hers. Shal look surprised by the gesture. Emma just smiled at her as they made their way to the bar, still holding hands.

Their fingers twined comfortably around each other's. Sensing Emma's warm palm against her own, Shal felt the forbidden stirring of desire. She like the feel of Emma's hand in hers. It felt so right. She didn't want to let go, but she knew eventually she had to.

When they reached the bar Shal let go of Emma's hand, not wanting her to feel uncomfortable. She was surprised when Emma again took hold of her hand.

"I just don't wanna get lost," Emma said smiling.

"Ok, I just want to order the drinks, what d'ya want?" Shal said letting go of Emma's hand once again and turning to the bar.

"Anything," Emma said moving up behind Shalimar - wrapping her arms around Shal's waist and resting her chin on her right shoulder. Shalimar shivered as her heart beat faster. She bit her lower lip to prevent her from making a really sexual sound. "Ok what the hell are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why are your arms around my waist?" Shal said looking stern.

"I just don't like the way the guys in here are looking at me, if they think we're together they'll leave us alone."

"Fine, but no funny stuff."

"Sure."

"Here you go," Shal said handing Emma her drink.

"Thanks," Emma said, taking her drink and giving a quick kiss on the cheek."

Seeing Shal's expression, Emma quickly added, "Have to make it look convincing." Smiling ever so sweetly at Shalimar.

Shal couldn't help, but return the smile. But she couldn't stop the sneaky suspicion that Emma was flirting with her - if so she knew that two could play that game.

"Lets get a place to sit."

"Ok, where d'ya wanna sit?" Shal said placing her hand on the younger dark- haired girl.

"How about there?" Emma said walking over to the red sofa in the darkest corner of the club.

"Sure," Shal said letting her hand slip from Emma's shoulder to her hand.

Emma squeezed Shal's hand as she led the blond woman to the sofa. The two girls sat down in the dark corner looking at the people dance, but never letting go of each other's hands.

Shal rested her head on Emma's shoulder as they sat there in silence listening to the music. "I love this song," Shal said lifting her head.

"So do you wanna dance?"

"What?" Shal said surprised.

"I said do ya wanna dance?" Emma said getting up, taking Shal's hand and leading her to the dance floor.

"Yah....o..ok."

The girls swayed their bodies to the beat of the music. Their dancing growing more seductive as they suggestively rubbed up against each other as the music played on.

"Do you want to get out of here," Emma whispered in Shal's ear.

"Yah," Shal said as she led the younger woman through the crowd towards the door.

They took their jackets ran outside, got on the bike and sped of in the direction of Sanctuary.
