It is quite similar to the scene described in this chapter. It's an awesome scene on the series the Vampire Diaries :) Please Vote and Enjoy 

For not being a vampire, Luke knew how to move. I wondered where he learned. This was wrong in so many different levels but I couldn’t help but have fun. I am pretty sure I was grinning like an idiot. 

“What is so funny?” He asked realizing my mood. He smiled back at me. 

“This is my favorite song.” I said closing my eyes socking up this moment. This was so wrong. He gave me a turn and then dipped me. I was so surprised. I started laughing again. Yes, this was fun. 

As I opened my eyes I realized he was way to close for our own good. I pushed him of a little snapping out of my bobble. I planned to survive, not kill myself the first night I was here. 

“What’s wrong?” he asked surprised by my little rejection. Was he crazy? I think he was.

“This is not supposed to happen. I am an offering.” I said the most obvious statement I could come up with. Didn’t he see?

He was confused for a slight second and then realization crossed his face.“Ah yes.” He agreed as he held me closer to him again. “That does not mean I don’t get to admire the view.” I was blushing wickedly by now. I pulled away again. 

“You are going to get us killed.” I hissed. I didn’t want any part of this. “Why are you dancing anyway?” This made no sense. Someone should have stopped him by now. This was not right. 

“As Mr. Dragomir said, they are changing rules around this year. They needed men to dance and so I volunteered.” That was a logical explanation. I let him hold me again and we were dancing. I was so confused. 

“In about two seconds we are about to change partners, Are you ready?”  He ask with a mischievous grin. I didn’t know what he was talking about. The song was still only half way through. Before I could ask him I was already spinning into someone else's arms. 

Shocked I fell into the arms of another acquaintance. “Mr. Dragomir,”  We bowed and then we were both dancing again. I couldn't make up my mind on who was a better dancer, if Philip or Luke. 

“Are you enjoying yourself? Met any new people?” He was trying to make small talk? Maybe he was just trying to be polite. 

“It is quite fun, Thank you for asking and You seem to be the only person I will meet tonight If things keep going the way they are.” I could not help but smile. This was a funny situation I was in. 

“Really? Are you lying to me? I just saw you dancing with someone else.” H asked mischievously. 

Yes I was dancing with someone else but how could I explain it without sounding wrong. Without making it more than what it really had been? Just a dance! “Yes I was dancing with someone but he is my helper, I met him this morning.” I said trying to sound nonchalant. 

He nodded with realization and then sigh, “I see.” Was all he said. The atmosphere between us became denser all of a sudden. I needed to change the subject. 

“How about you? Have you met anyone new tonight?” I asked surprising myself at how comfortable I felt talking to him. There was no pressure. 

He grinned. “I did meet new people. I’ve danced with quite a lot.” That stung lightly. 

“I’m glad.” The song was over and it was time to change partners again. We bowed and said our goodbyes. 

The night kept on going song after song. Men after men. I meet the four offerings, Marcus, Thomas, Robert and Benjamin. They were all so nice but of course not as good dancers as Philip or Luke. Luke.. he was dancing like there was no tomorrow. He danced with every girl in the room literally every song that was played. My feet hurt by the end of the night and I had to use the ladies room. I excused myself and walked to the guest bathroom in the first floor of the estate. I looked at myself in the mirror and didn’t recognize my reflection. She was slightly flushed and happy. Why was I happy? I had to admit I did look good today. I had done my hair in twirls and bouncy waves that cascaded on my bare shoulder. Well tonight could have gone better... I had to stay away from Luke and focus on Philip.

I did not know if he was on of the bachelors but at least he was a vampire and not a mere human. Its decided. No talking to Luke unless necessary. After all, he was my helper.  

Walking out of the bathroom I bumped into someone. I looked up embarrassed and he was now smiling broadly. “Are you stalking me miss Petrova?” He asked teasing me. 

“I could ask you the same thing. See I, was the one in the bathroom.” I answered in his same tone. 

“Well argued.” Philip responded. 

“Goodnight,” I bowed and tuned to leave. 

“You are leaving?” This question came from a voice I had decided to ignore. 

“Yes, Goodnight gentleman.” I turned again and started to walk up the giant staircase. 

“I will accompany you.” Luke said as he followed me up the stairs. This was not going as planned. Why was he coming up with me? Oh right.. he is after all my helper. Stupid me. I literally could not move anywhere without him knowing or following. Great. This was going to be fun. 

Reaching my door I turned around. I had to stop this now. This could not go on like this. He would kill us both. “Mr. Brown I...”, before I could continue he placed his finger on my lips and caressed my check lightly. 

“Stop. Don’t say it.” He instructed me. He leaned in and kissed my cheek. “Goodnight miss Petrova.” He said as he opened the door to my room, walked me in, walked out, and then was gone. 

Holy Shit.! I was not one to curse a lot but WHAT IN THE HELL was THAT all about? 

I dressed in my silk pajamas, also custom made and laid on my bed. I am going to have to admit that that is the comfiest bed I have ever been on. It was like sinking into clouds. I was so exhausted that as soon as I touched the bed I drifted thinking about how by the end of this week Luke would have definitely had killed us both. I sighed.
