the lights were blinding but nothing could pull your eyes away from renee. the moment the bass hit and she dropped to the floor, dragging the mic across her lips with that little smirk, your whole body tensed. you had seen her perform countless times before but tonight was different. you werent just in the crowd. you were backstage and actually hers

you leaned against a pillar behind the curtain, barely breathing as renee prowled across the stage like the show was made just for you. her hair was wild and her outfit was slick and dark and silver chains hanging low across her hips. the hips you knew the feel of like the back of your hand. she had kissed you just before the set started, fingers tugging your chin up as she whispered 'watch closely' and you were. you didnt blink once.

at the climax of the song she locked eyes with you through the stage lights. she was on the floor, crawling like she owned the world and tonight she did. her mouth brushed the mic like a tease, her voice velvet and venom all at once. you couldnt tell if the fire in her gaze was for the screaming fans or just for you

when she finally stood and took her last breathless note the arena erupted but she didnt stay to bask in it. she threw one last glance over her shoulder and stalked straight offstage and towards you

before you could say anything she grabbed your face in both hands and kissed you hard, not caring who was around. her body was hot and trembling from adrenaline and yours folded right into hers like instinct

"i did that for you" she whispered against your lips "you liked it?"

you bit your lip "liked it? youre lucky i didnt storm the stage."

her laugh was low and dangerous "next time maybe ill let you"
