and replies "I'll dance with you Hunter."
    Luke chuckles as Hunter jumps out of his seat and drags Tori back to the dance floor. "Well, I'm going to get wasted and find myself a dance partner." Luke chuckles again as he stands up and strolls toward the bar leaving Ava and me alone. "Do you want another drink?"
    "Um… I don't think I should drink anymore. Maybe iced water."
    I signal to a waitress and order the iced water for Ava and a beer for myself.
    Ava looks up into my eyes and says softly "I'm sorry I attacked you out on the dance floor." Her face falls as she looks down at our hands still joined and resting between us on the booth seat. I reach up to her chin and gently lift her face so that her eyes meet mine again "Baby, you can attack me anytime you want. That kiss was hot…and hopefully it won't be the last." She blushes and tries to look down again but I lean in and catch her lips with mine. This kiss isn't as frenzied as the last one, but it is just as hot and I find myself staring into her eyes as we kiss. Once again I break the kiss before I get carried away, but this time I lean down and rest my forehead on hers. "What have you done to me, Dundee? I can't stop thinking about you. I feel like I should be thinking about the show and how well it went, but all I can think about is you." She stares into my eyes and then suddenly leans back in for another kiss. As our tongues stroke each other again I pull her up and she lifts a leg over me so that she is straddling my lap. I should care that we are in the middle of a very public nightclub, but I don't. All I care about is this beautiful girl who is now sitting in my lap and blowing my mind with another teasing kiss. I pull my lips from hers and she lets her head fall back slightly as I kiss my way down her neck and lick her collar bone while running my hands up and down her smooth back. I'm lost in the passion of the moment, but suddenly hear someone clear their throat. Ava pulls away and we both look up to see Brody and Emma collapse onto the couch opposite us. Ava looks slightly embarrassed as she slides off my lap and back onto the seat, taking a sip of her iced water.
    Emma looks very apologetic "Sorry to interrupt, but we needed a break from dancing. It was starting to get very hot down there." I smile and look over at Brody to see him watching Ava with a strange look on his face.
    "It seems like it was getting all hot and heavy up here too." As he says the words, he seems to frown a little. What the fuck is his problem?
    Just then Hunter and Tori stroll toward us looking very disheveled and flushed. I watch as Tori tries to straighten her dress and smooth down her hair, obviously their dance turned into a little more as well.
    Ava squeezes my hand and asks "Is everyone ready to head back to the bus? I'm quite tired."
    "Sure, let's get out of here." I reply as I stand up and pull her up behind me. We locate Luke and we all exit the club and climb into the waiting limo.

Brody
    The limo pulls up in the parking lot and everyone climbs out.
    Emma looks at me as she says "Thanks for inviting us out, guys. It was fun."
    Looking down at the ground I can't stop the rush of guilt that floods my body when I think about how I used her tonight. When I stepped onto the dance floor earlier, the last thing I expected to see was Jeremy kissing Ava. It physically shocked me. I knew they had some chemistry but I didn't realize it would turn into something more so quickly. Before I had even thought it through I grabbed hold of Emma and took out my jealousy on her. I don't know what I was hoping to achieve, but it just made me feel low as fuck. She seems like a lovely girl, I'd hate to lead her on and let her think there was going to be more between us. I force a smile onto my face and look over at Ava to see her watching me "Yeah" I say keeping my gaze locked on her. "It was good. Well goodnight Ladies. See you all tomorrow." Just as I'm about to step up onto the bus I glance
