I may—what? But, next minute, Alec was in my arms and whirling me around the bare floor of his unit in some kind of disco dance. I had no time to complain, but if it meant holding him closer, why would I? I wasn’t much of a dancer but he made it very easy to move with his guidance, even when I kept tripping over the clumsy plastic shoes. The disco light scattered multi-coloured spots around his hair and face, then over his shoulders and back. It caught the bangles as he swung his arms around my neck, then away again, teasing me. I refused a pair of swinging palm tree charms he wanted me to wear as earrings, but when he hooked one mischievously from his diamond stud, I relented and let him perch the other onto one of my gold hoops.

It was all about letting him have his fun, I realised suddenly. That meant my fun, too.

He paused at the laptop to check comments as we passed it on each rotation, and laughed almost all the time. It was contagious: I couldn’t remember the last time I’d had such a daft, fun time—the last time I’d let myself go. We danced for many minutes, jiggling our feet so the bracelets glittered and shone. I slipped my foot from the flip flop and ran my bare toes up his calf, on one of our sweeps past the sofa. He sucked in a breath and pressed close.

“Hold me tighter,” he whispered, eyes heavy-lidded.

“You are so gorgeous. I don’t want to let you go,” I murmured in his still-oh-so-biteable ear. “What were you grinning about just now?”

“Only some of the comments,” he said, a little breathless.

“On your channel? What are they saying?” I had a sudden moment of panic. “They can’t hear us now?”

“Oh no. It’s just typed. All they can hear is the music unless I turn my mic back on. But I’m still meant to be broadcasting, so I ought to answer a few of them.” He paused at the desk as we passed again. Chuckling, he pressed a button. “Oh cherryB, that’s really cheeky. But yes, he has been a great help this week. And yes, I think he should join me on the podcast all the time. What do the rest of you think—?”

“Alec!” I hissed. I shook my head so hard I thought it’d snap off at the neck.

But he was still reading. He pinked up at the next comment, and I felt an unreasonable spike of jealousy that someone else was bringing that colour to his cheeks instead of me.

“Oh no, BlingTastic, we’re just friends.” He nodded, replying into the mic, eyes twinkling. “Well, no, maybe I wouldn’t. But that doesn’t mean anything’s going on. You are very naughty.”

“Maybe you wouldn’t what?” I’d been trying to keep out of the webcam range but now I leaned in, trying to make out the little blinking letters and emojis.

“Um. Kick you out of bed.”

He… what?

“It’s just a silly phrase,” Alec said, but that mock-innocent look wouldn’t have fooled anyone.
