Dark Temptation

Ella's body glistened with perspiration as she twirled and spun her lithe body on the dance floor, loving the way the beat of the music thumped around her. The twenty-one year old loved Brighton's laid back, hippy, music generated atmosphere and long ago had fallen into dancing until the sun came up at her favourite nightclubs.

The Volks club was hidden away along the seafront, away from all the other clubs but well known to all the Brighton residents.

It was different to many of the other nightclubs—dirty, grimy, small, dark and sweaty—and the heavy beat of the music was helped out by the more than generous portions of bass that pounded through the large club speakers and echoed around the room. The sound of the heavy dubstep, drum and bass almost made the walls shake.

Most of the club goers were taking some sort of drugs but that didn't matter to Ella. There was rarely any trouble and people could more or less do what they wanted. Everyone was here to party, after all.

The dance floor was thronged as the music—Nero, Chase & Status, Magnetic Man, Katy B—seamlessly transitioned from one song to the next. The hot and heavy beats were just perfect for Ella's mood.

Her hair was held back with her favourite hair band, pink with diamante crusted all over, which magically caught the beams from the club lights. The tight pink and black bodice covered her torso but was so tight it left little to the imagination. And the black flared mini skirt seemed to bounce with her every dance step, revealing her legs all the way down to the furry topped, white knee high boots.

As usual, Ella was dressed to impress. The revealing clothes ensured she was the centre of attention and her body piercings—ears, belly button and tongue—all added to the sexy effect.

She had danced for hours with her girlfriends—Dani, Megan, Camilla, Jaime and Aimee. The heavy beat of the music continued to thump around their ears and through their bodies, adding to the increasingly sensual atmosphere within the small group. The speakers beside the dance floor vibrated with full on bass, smoke billowed from the machines above them and the drugs, alcohol and atmosphere had her flying above the crowd.
