Surrender 01 - Surrender

just want to add that I’m hurt you even asked,” Amber said as she turned and walked away.
    “I’m sorry. I’ll quit griping and just enjoy myself,” Ari called out. She caught up to the other three.
    “Good. That’s what we want to hear,” Shelly said as the club door was held open for them.
    Ari was a little suspicious of their instant forgiveness, but the low, smoky lights of the club caught her attention and she forgot all about their little tiff .
    “Darlings, you got here just in time. Pierre is about to start the lesson, so hurry on over. You know how he hates to be kept waiting. Tonight it’s the c ha-cha- c ha.”
    Ari turned to find a small man wearing way - too - tight pants, who seemed to be herding them toward the back of the room.
    “Donnie, it’s been too long. We’ve missed you,” Miley said as she kissed him on the cheek.
    “That’s because I’m a one of a kind, gorgeous. Now go,” he commanded as he smacked her on the butt. Ari quickly followed them, not wanting to get left behind.
    “Hurry. Hurry. You four are holding me up. If Donnie hadn’t insisted his friends were coming, we could have been well into our lesson by now.”
    Ari was rendered motionless at the sight of the stunning dance instructor. His pants were also too tight, but that was a blessing for every female in the room.
    “Are you going to stand there gawking all night, princess, or are you here to learn?”
    Ari was mortified as her friends laughed while dragging her to the front of the room.
    “Don’t worry, Ari. The first time I saw Pierre, I had a minor orgasm. When he touched my ass during a lesson, I had a major one. Don’t get too excited, though, ’cause he and Donnie are a couple. It’s probably a good thing, ’cause I think I’d forget my husband’s name if that man wanted to heat the sheets with me for a night,” Amber said with a giggle.
    “The cha-cha is a teasing, sexy and fun dance. You want to move toward your partner and then entice him to come back for you. The more you use your ass, the better. God gave you those luscious, beautiful behinds, so don’t be afraid to shake them. If you can’t shake your backside, then get out of my club because Latin dances without a shaking derrière are useless.”
    Ari was stunned to see that Pierre spoke with a completely serious face. She might actually be kicked out of the club. She’d never wiggled her butt before. She didn’t know how to. With sweat breaking out on her forehead, she looked on in fear while he demonstrated the steps they’d be learning. She’d never pick that up in half an hour.
    “ You , come here.”
    Ari gazed at Pierre in complete terror. Was he kicking her out before they’d even begun? Could he tell by just looking at her that she was a fraud?
    “ Go . You do not want to keep Pierre waiting,” Miley urged as she pushed Ari forward.
    “Take my hands,” he commanded. Luckily, her brain was working because somehow her arms came up and she found herself clasping the stunning man’s hands.
    “There are two basic steps to the cha-cha. The first is a rocking step. Basically, you’re going to shift your weight from one foot to the other as you slowly move backward and forward. Remember to use the ass, always use that luscious booty . Don’t just stand there. Shift!”
    Ari looked at his legs and copied what he was doing. This wasn’t so bad —just shifting her weight. She gained a smidgeon of confidence as the two of them moved.
    “Good job, Ari. Nice butt wiggles,” Amber called out.
    Ari was going to kill her.
    “Now, you add in a little bit of cha-cha-cha,” Pierre said as he did a sort of wiggle with his knees while his hips shook back and forth. She stumbled a few times while trying to mimic him, and just when she thought he was going to lead her straight to the door, her body seemed to absorb the information.
    “Good. You’re doing well for a first-timer,” Pierre told her.
    “How do you know it’s my first time?” she asked, feeling more confident.
    “Ha. That’s amusing. If it’s not your first time, then just give up now,” he said with a smile to take away the sting. He wasn’t as scary as he’d first appeared.
    Pierre placed Ari back in the line, then went through the group, helping each person until they got the basic moves down.
    “Now, partner up. Yes, it’s mostly women — don’t be such prudes. I’m not asking you to strip down naked and get jiggy. You need to learn how to do
