Outside the house, Ednin was waiting in her SUV to pick Zed and the girls up for their private dance class session. Carla sat in the passenger seat.

As they stepped outside, Betty waved at Ednin and Carla, while Alice merely acknowledged them with a nod, still preoccupied with her suspicions about Zed.

-So, Ednin, are you pretty much always the ride? Betty asked. That's mighty generous of you! Are we all set for a fun evening of dancing and... bonding?

Ednin glanced back at Betty via the rear-view mirror, offering her a warm smile as she shifted the SUV into gear and began to drive.

-That's correct, I'm Zed's designated driver, Ednin confirmed with a chuckle. Perks of being his loyal companion, she said as she squeezed Carla's hips.

During the car ride, Alice remained uncharacteristically quiet, her wheels spinning as she analyzed Zed's behavior..

Meanwhile, Betty eagerly engaged Ednin and Carla in animated conversation, peppering them with questions about their plans for the night and their relationship dynamics. She hung onto their every word, utterly fascinated.

As the SUV pulled up to the upscale dance studio, Betty bounced in her seat with anticipation.

-Oh wow, this place looks amazing! she gushed, drinking in the sleek modern facade. I can't wait to see what moves Ednin and Carla have in store for us!

Ednin parked the vehicle and exited, walking around to open the doors for the passengers.

-After you ladies, she gestured grandly, ushering Alice, Betty and Zed inside ahead of her.

Carla hopped out from the passenger side and joined Ednin, taking her hand as they entered the lavish building together. Zed held the door for the girls, then left them as Ednin showed them around the opulent lobby, to greet his dance instructor, Jazz.

She exuded charisma and sexuality, her lithe dancer's body clad in a skimpy, glittering number.

-Thanks for letting Ednin do this for me Jazz, Zed said. A private session is very exciting. I didn't tell them this was a 24-hour spa too, he added.

Jazz leaned in closer to Zed as he whispered in her ear, her cleavage threatening to spill out of her low-cut top. She winked at him.

Zed pointed out all the girls to Jazz. When he got to Alice, he explained that she could be shy sometimes.

-But I'd like to make the dancing extra dirty anyway, Zed finished.

Jazz's eyes sparkled as she appraised each of the girls, lingering a moment longer on Alice at Zed's intriguing introduction.

-Ooh, a challenge, you say? I do love breaking through that shy, innocent act.
