"Dance with me, I want to be your partner, can't you see? The music is just starting. Night is calling, and I am falling. Dance with me."


Jensen's POV


It starts easy enough. I can't say I'm wonderfully happy Scar's hand on Rob's naked chest nor am I wonderfully happy about the skimpy outfit she wears. Well, I am, I guess just not the fact that the other four men in the room can see her too. Probably that the other four people are in the room in general, if I'm honest. After watching her warmup, I am more than happy with the idea of being on my own with her, you know just to see how flexible she is. I chose to ignore the closeness between the two of them, I remind myself that it is only acting and take a deep breath and calm myself the fuck down. I don't even think we are thirty seconds in when she stands on one leg and raises the other up to her head. Rob the twists her round and the flips her up, until he catches her in his arms. My brain can't keep up with what my eyes are seeing. The next thing I know Scar is holding both Rob's hands as she brings her one leg up behind her and sort of leans backwards until she's almost bent the wrong way. I have no idea how to describe what I've just witnessed, I will definitely need to watch that video back a few hundred times at a later date to figure it out. Just for those reasons you understand, nothing else honestly. There's a few more twists and turns and it's tender and soft. Then I must blink or something because the next thing that happens the back of her neck is balanced on the back of Rob's neck. Her legs are straight up in the air, neither of them are holding on and panic seizes my throat. That can't be safe surely to God. I think I'm having a heart attack. Jase taps my leg, a gentle reassurance that she's ok. And she is because everything is calm again, simple twists and flips. Well not simple to anyone else but ya know what I mean. Twists and turns as she manipulates her body in incredible ways. Incredible ways that give me incredible ideas, I try not to get too carried away as they continue. There's a moment of love and tenderness and my heart jumps to my throat for a second when it looks like they might kiss. The love part, I'm surprisingly ok with. I can recognise the love they share with one another. I also recognise it for the type of love it is, friendship, family. I must remember to ask her later how it compares to our love she keeps insisting is just friendship. If her body heats the same way it does with his hands on her like the way I know it does with mine. I'm feeling pretty smug with that one, until I realise, she's now standing on his shoulders doing that stand up split thingy again. At least he's holding her one leg this time.

The power and core strength she has coursing through her body. It's clear to see as much as it's Rob's power and strength holding her up, it's all her that's holding herself perfectly straight. Watching her dance is a soulful experience. The control she always has, with everything she does, and the seemingly effortless way she moves her body. She's constantly bending herself in ways that shouldn't be humanly possible. I'm sort of ashamed to say it but it's 100% giving me very dirty thoughts and ideas about how I'd like her to move her body the next time I find myself alone in a room with her.

Quick question, how the fuck do ballerinas stand on their toes the way Scar's just done? Fuck me, she's just been thrown up in the air again. This time Rob has one arm holding her hip and she has one hand on his shoulder, but I swear to God I'm so close to having a heart attack right now. If he drops my girl no one will ever find his body! The dance ends with some very tender moments. I can't be angry about where his hands are because it was all so beautiful. Makes me wish I could hold her like that and move with her the way Rob just did. As the music ends Rob comes over to us while Scar grabs some bottles of water.

"So, she prove you wrong?" he asks and I think I swallow my own tongue. I have to be holding her in my arms while I tell her how incredible she was. How much she took my breath away. I pick her up and spin her round. Nothing like what Rob's just done but this is probably the best she's gonna get from me.

"Fuck, I would have put money on him killing you Rob, when you touched her ass." Chris says to Rob who starts laughing.

"What, wait, when did that happen?" I say utterly confused, I don't remember that at all and normally her ass is something I focus on a lot, especially in these skimpy pants.

"Never mate, didn't happen. I don't know what they are on about at all." Rob jokes, laughing even harder as Scarlett smacks him on the chest with the back of her hand.

"Don't worry mate, I got your back. And all of it on video. We can review it later just to confirm." Chris laughs, Rob isn't laughing so much anymore. Which then causes me to laugh.

"He was more concerned you were gonna drop her, I could hear him growling next to me every time you had her in the air." Jase says, being his usual ever helpful self.

"Yeah, we've done that a few thousand times before, it takes a bit of practice." Scar laughs while Rob gets paler. "Hey, we practice we get better. Wanna show them the big one for our next routine? You know the one get right like 90% of the time. That will really scare him." She asks Rob.

"If I say not particularly would that get me out of this situation with my balls intact?"

"Is it like bigger than the ones you've just done?" Steve asks.

"Oh, definitely." Scar says smiling sweetly, have I said how evil this woman is in the past hour. I have to keep reminding myself not to be sucked in by how sweet and innocent she looks, devil in disguise.

"Then I would really like to see it, I mean if you fall, I'll catch you don't panic." Steve laughs. "Maybe you can just leave the room if you don't wanna see, however that does mean leaving her to the wolves with us."

"Yeah, I have no doubt she can handle herself and you lot with one arm behind her back. But I'm not going anywhere, I can watch it with my eyes closed right?"

"Well, Rob it looks like the only chance you have to get out of here still holding your balls is to not drop me. You can do that right?" Scar says that sadistic smile still in place.

"Crash mats?" Rob asks weekly.

"Nah, we got this." I don't know what she thinks she's got but I know I haven't got it. I really get the feeling I'm not going to like this.

"Rob stands behind her and holds both her hands causing her to lean back slightly before they both sort of bounce? At least that's the best way I can describe it, the only I can describe it. This bounce leads to Scar being vertical upside down, a handstand on Rob's hands, while Rob's hands are straight up above his head. She holds one of his hands while she spins on the other. Then holds both his hands again. Rob is about my height, maybe an inch taller and I'm not a short man. Plus his arms are in the air. And she's just spinning without a care in the world, like she isn't 7ft in the air. Then she's just balanced on one hand again while her legs and body twist in unholy positions. Just when I think it's safe to breath again because he's bringing her back down, I realise he's moving too quickly, she tucks herself up goes through his legs and is thrown back up in the air again. I think I'm gonna be sick.

This time she bends her legs and body backwards, until she's bent backwards. I felt the need to repeat that bit, just in case my brain missed it the first time. Her legs are at a 90-degree angle, then she bends her knees and I swear that woman brings her toes to her hands. That are still technically above her head, except she's upside down, 7foot in the air and fucking backwards. The woman is bent in half, backwards, how is that even possible? Then as I'm recovering from that one, I'm back to choking again as I think Rob's about to drop her, except her legs effortlessly slide to either side of his body. She then tucks herself up into another ball before he sort of throws her out and let's go. And she just walks, walks over to me as if nothings just happened. She looks me dead in the eye and asks if I'm ok. As if I haven't just watched the woman I'm crazy about balance upside down 7foot in the fucking air while she bent herself in half, the wrong way. FUCKING BACKWARDS PEOPLE. I need to sit down, when did I even stand up? I sit rubbing my chest. She crouches in front of me and with no hint of a joke on her face asks me dead seriously do I want to try and I know I'm going to hell.
