I was seriously concerned about Kristen's mental state.

"Wow," said Bryce. "Come look at this."

I walked over to the door and peered out into the hallway. The hallway was filled with guys auditioning to be backup dancers.

"Holy shit," I said. "I thought we'd be lucky to get five guys. This is insane."

"Where's my first dancer?" called Tim from behind the judging table we had set up on the far wall of the dance studio.

"Sorry, I'm calling him," said Bryce. He called in the first guy and then we both took a seat at the judging table.

Tim opened a binder and clicked a pen open. "Name?"

"Artie Williams."

"Thank you, Artie," said Tim. "Just a few questions and then I'll want you to perform a few moves. Let's see...okay, what experience do you have with dance?"

"No formal training, but my hips don't lie."

"You think this is a joke? Get the hell out." Tim pointed at the door.

"For real?" Artie looked shocked.

"Next."

"Can't I show you some moves?"

"Not interested. Next."

"Fuck you, man," muttered Artie as he left the dance studio.

"That was kind of harsh," said Kristen.

"Not really. I only want dancers who will take this as seriously as I do. Let's hope the next one is better."

Bryce brought the next dancer in, a guy named Lucas. Tim greeted him in the same way he had with Artie, starting with a question about his experience.

"I've been practicing ballet since grade school," said Lucas. "My friends made fun of me, but it really helped me take my game to the next level."

Tim scribbled down some notes. "Good, good. Have you ever performed competitively?"

"A few times."

"How do you feel about being nude on stage?"

What? "What does that have to do with anything?" I whispered.

"Just trying to keep him on his feet. Part of dance is being able to improvise. The stage can be a dangerous mistress for an inflexible performer."

"I've never had to be nude for ballet, but I'm willing to do whatever the performance requires of me," said Lucas.

Tim nodded approvingly. "What are your thoughts on devil's threesomes?"

Oh my God. He's just trying to get a third for him and Kristen. I started to tune out Tim's super inappropriate questions and Lucas's answers. Instead I started to think about all the places in the dance studio where Bryce and I could have sex. Definitely pressed up against the mirrors. Maybe he could do me from behind with my hands against the stack of workout mats. The ballet barre would give us some great angles to explore. The possibilities with that were pretty endless...

"Have you practiced the dance piece from the website?" Tim asked, drawing me out of my fantasies.
