The way her hips moved to the beat of the music ignited a flame within his soul. Never had he been so attracted to anyone. Never had he been so captivated by a woman outside of his race. He’d seen them here several times before, each time they were the life of the party and she, the center of his attention.
As he zoomed in on her, the curves of her full lips came into view, the rich undertones of her beautiful brown skin complimented her jet black hair that held a unique style, and her hourglass figure couldn’t be more perfect.
She gracefully leaned forward as her friend whispered something into her ear, pulling her in the direction of the bar.
“Sex on the beach for me…heavy on the sex!” Her friend purred across the bar. “Oh! That’s my song!” Her friend threw her hands up, dancing her way back to the center of the floor.

In the terms of a friendship there was no such thing as color in this town, but in love, the lines were clearly drawn.
