Bound with fear

Never Danced

………………. I walked out into the other room Iagan was in a tight shirt the fitted every contour of his trained tight body his black pants fitting him in all the right places. He didn’t look at me as I walked into the room.

“Guardian be watchful tonight do not stray far from her” My Father ordered

“I won’t you can be sure of that my lord” he opened the door

“Kendra… you are my chosen on you are my last hope” he kissed my forehead and watched as we left the apartment.

“What did my Father say to you?’ I hissed aw we stepped out into the city

“He told me what I’m to do” He stole a look at me and closed his eyes a little muttering something under his breath.

“He told you not to touch me didn’t he?”

“See if you already know what he asked then why question me Mo Bhean” he stopped and looked at me “You have to do what you think is the right thing to do… You have a directive from your Father” he started to walk again. I caught up to him “We cannot walk in there together” his voice changed going to all training and fighting mode “He cannot think you are with a man or he may not even look at you” Iagan’s eyes again looked everywhere but at me

“I don’t like this” I admitted “Iagan I don’t’ want him” I touched his arm

‘We have to go in there now” he took my elbow and led me across the street

Iagan did you not hear me?” I begged

“I heard but I can’t think of anything other than doing what I was told” he stopped and turned me to face him “Get over whatever feeling you think you have Mo Bhean… I’m your guardian that is its nothing more” he let go of me “ I will be in there and I will not let you get hurt” he strode away from me his presence making people move aside as he disappeared through the doors to the building. I stood in the street feeling scared and alone.

“Go inside” a voice in my head sounded “Go find your destiny” I strode to the door the Male on the door towered over me but opened the door halting others from going in before me. I walked inside the sound of Music drowning out every other sense in my head as I felt the vibrations of it run through my entire body. People moved about in time to the music bodies touching as they danced wearing not much more than I wore for training.

I skirted the edge of the floor watching feeling the heat from the bodies, the want and animal lust coming from all of them made my skin tingle. I walked up a set of stairs couch were scattered about with groups of people sitting talking and laughing on them. I saw Star sitting talking to a few people in the far corner her hair seeming to give off its own aura. I leant on the silver railing that ran round giving me a view of the movement below. I closed my eyes and thought of Iagan and got a dull ache in my chest, I opened them and was looking right at him he was on the far side of the dance floor a drink in his hand his eyes running over everyone in there as a girl danced closer to him rubbing herself against him. My grip increased on the rail and I felt it get hot under my hands.

“You look a little lost and I thought you might like…” A drink was held out in front of me I stiffened at the sound of Brae’s voice.

“Thank you” I swallowed and took the drink

“Finally someone that’s not French” he chuckled as I turned round “I’m Brae” he smiled as he cradled the bottle he was holding.

“Kendra” I smiled back at him as I felt a prickle on the back of my neck I glanced back round the girl that had been dancing close to Iagan had her arms locked round him as they both moved his forehead against hers.

“Er.. hello” Brae waved his hand in front of my face “Someone down there you know?’ He moved to stand next to me

“What… Oh no I thought I saw a friend but it wasn’t” I shook my head and took a drink.

“So do you live here or you visiting?” Brae lent on the railing and looked at me

“I just arrived here today… it’s a big city I’ve never seen anything like it before” I shook my head

“It is a little crazy I have to agree with you there” he nodded “Do you dance?”

“I never have” He stopped with his drink close to his mouth and raised his eye brows at me

“Never” I shook my head

“Damn where’ve you been locked up in a prison somewhere” he chuckled “Give me a minute to lose these” he took my drink and my purse and walked over to Star who smiled at him as he bent down to talk to her. She looked my way and tipped her head and said something back to Brae who looked at me and smiled and them kissed her on the cheek before walking back to me.

“Who is she?” I asked

“Oh don’t worry she’s just my little sister she’s waiting for her Fiancé to get here” he put his hand in the small of my back “Now lets see about getting you moving on the dance floor”………..
