I cannot dance to save my life.

My feet have always been the clumsy part about me.

So as Cayson continues to beckon me to the dance floor I continue to say no. Surely in these 3 inch black heels I would trip to my death. The moment I attempt to dance with Cayson I would embarrassingly fall, showing everyone at this Deneb party that Lilith the wicked ruler cannot dance.

"Come on" Cayson calls again slightly whining "you will be fine."
"Says you" I point out shaking my head "I can't dance and I'm either going to die of embarrassment or straight up die."

He rolls his eyes dramatically before taking a seat next to me. I sigh in relief picking up the platter of Deneb treats and nibbling at them. Oddly they were quite delishous compared to the way they looked. I even made a mental note to complement the chef on his gray ice cream.

For a while I wander around the party alone, trying the edible deserts on each table. There were mint green brownies and a cake shaped like a girl. Some deserts had the smell of mangos and others smelled of a full meal. Eventually Cayson joins my side trying the outrageous snacks.

"Have you ever seen something so odd?" Cayson says holding up a sort of muffin. It was the color of sunscreen and I shake my head intrigued.
"Try it and let me know if it's a must have."

He places the pale muffin in his mouth and I watch his face scrunch in distaste. I bite the edge my lip to keep from laughing.

"Oh come on" I say teasingly " if you can try these snacks I'm sure I can dance."

He gives me an odd look staring into my emerald eyes for second. Then he nods his head and holds out his hand. I smile small at him before placing my hand in his, squeezing it tight.

"Let's dance sweetheart" he whispers into my ear. His words dripping like honey from his lips.

---------------------------

A tradegy. Collateral damage. A damn car wreck. That's what my dancing is like. Cayson continues to try and teach me but I just cannot get the foot work down. Repeatedly he shows me where my foot goes and I nod my head understanding until the movement is put into action.

"I can't do it" I growl " I give up!"

I begin to back away and Cayson rolls his eyes. In a swift snag he grabs my wrist pulling me back to his chest. Those delicate fingers of his clamp down on my waste and dig into the camaca material of my dress.

"The Luna everyone fears wants to give up so quickly?" He says teasingly bringing one hand up to my face.

With a feather light stroke he runs his fingers across my check. My body lightly shivers in pleasure. Those ardent sparks dance on my skin like the sun dances on the earth soil. Then as soon as the pleasing fingers came, they leave. Leaving my face almost empty and bare of his touch.

We stand in the middle of the dance floor, wrapped in each other's embrace. My chest is pressed against his and we are both breathing heavily. Cayson's starry eyes stare at me fiercely and my chest heaves like he's never looked at me like that. My skin heats up again and my heart gives a sharp thud. I love you. I love you. It said with each beat.

"How about a little walk?" He says pulling me back to reality.

I break our eye lock and gaze around noticing some others looking at us in wonder. In wonder of what it took to soften the stone cold heart of the wicked Luna. I briefly look at him again, nodding my head.

"Come on sweetheart" I say in the same tone he used on me "let's go exploring together."

------------------

If Cayson didn't know his way around the mansion we would be completely lost. Lost as in you have to call for help. Lost as in we hand write S.O.S signs and pray someone would guide us out of this tangled mansion. Luckily Cayson seems to have a pretty good hold on the outlay of this home.

So we walk around with out a purpose. Our hands linked together as if we were a couple. My heart beats sharply on the word couple making a few I love you's escape.

"I love you" I finally hear him say.

My head snaps over and my jaw falls ajar. I stop in place and turn my body cocking my eyebrow. He turns as well his lips pursed and those bottle green eyes trained on me.

"You couldn't possibly" I say breathlessly taking a slight step back.
"I do" he says " I love the way you dark hair falls on your shoulders when your brushing it."

I take a bigger step back my throats clogging with emotions.

"Don't" I warn but my voice was betraying me.
" I love the way you bite your lip to hide some sort of emotion."

My heart began to jump in my chest rapidly and I back up until my back is touching the golden wall paper. This was so unfair. He couldn't wisk me away so easily.

"Stop" I say quietly my eyes locked with his.

Green to green. In a silent battle between who would win.

"I understand" he says calmly " trust me I do."
"Understand what?" I say breathlessly my heart pounding in my chest like a caged emotion.
"You don't have to say you love me back" he shrugs " but damn, I love you."

For hot minute we stare at each other. My throat has a ball the size of my fist in it. I know if I don't answer with the I love you it will hurt both him and me. Still I somehow wouldn't allow the words to fall out of my mouth.

So instead I lean forward. In a quick motion taking his lips with mine and tangling my hands in his soft hair. Letting electrifying zaps course between us with full passion.
