Page 92 of Breakers (Academy of Stardom 3)

When I dance with Dax, I stop feeling afraid.

I don’t hurt anymore.

I can breathe again.

I’m no longer alone.

My skin flushes with heat. Every single part of me lights up with a deep sense of happiness, of belonging. Our bond grows with every twist and turn, with every touch, every lift, every movement, every glance.

We dance like we make love, and it is the most beautiful, exhilarating experience.

It’s uplifting.

It mends the broken parts, fusing them together with every step.

When I dance with my Breakers, I feel whole again. Individually, or together as a group, it doesn’t matter. David can’t take that feeling of belonging away. I won’t let him.

I fucking refuse.
