Two hearts, one soul

Where did he hurt you, Ana?

.

"Would you like to dance, Miss?" he asked politely.

At that she nodded, her train of thought incoherent.

He gently put his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to him. Ana placed her hands on the back of his neck and it was then, when they began to dance slowly.

They gazed into each other's eyes, lost in the perfect moment.

"Ana. God, I missed you so much! And BTW, you look very enchanting. You look like a princess in that green dress." He whispered.

"Thank you. You look very handsome too." She whispered seductively, making a current go through his spine.

As Ana looked up, she got completely lost in his gorgeous eyes. She had gotten weak in the knees, so it was a good thing that he was holding her so close and so tightly. It felt like he never wanted to let her go...

Ana felt a blush coming up, so to prevent Christian from seeing how she was blushing, she rested her head on his chest.

God! It felt so good to be this close to him. She let out a breath, a bit frightened that she would lose it like before. But luckily her need for him was stronger than her fears. His body felt so warm and all she wanted was to feel him closer.

She took in his scent with her eyes closed, overwhelmed by her love for him. Ana stayed in his arms, dancing slowly, while her head rested on his very warm chest. As she savored the moment, she opened her eyes and looked around the dance floor. Couples were dancing and laughing, talking and enjoying this enchanting evening. God! She was so thankful for this magical evening! What a ball.

At one point, he even played with a lock of her shiny hair... Too soon, the song ended and an upbeat song followed.

((()))

After dancing for a while, they both were thirsty. As Christian handed Ana a glass of punch, she smiled at him lovingly. And she was planning to make him grovel at her feet? Haha! That was a joke! She couldn't see him suffer for one bit. After Ana had taken a sip of her drink, she placed her glass on a table. She couldn't take it anymore.

With loving eyes, she gently cupped his face and pulled him towards her. Their lips collided in a soft, but desperate kiss, their eyes closed without their accord. They kissed each other passionately, the need for each other evident and clear. It didn't matter if people were around, if they were staring or if they envied them. All that mattered was Christian and Ana.

He pulled away first, making her whimper out of protest. He looked her in the eyes...

"Ana... not here." he whispered, his voice filled with desire and love.

"Christian." She whispered.

He was worried that she would react like last time, but he missed and needed her so much. His body and heart were aching for her, just as hers was for his. So without further a due, Christian grabbed her hand and led her out of the dance floor. Ana looked around and saw Kate standing next to Elena- both of them smiling and Kate even winking at her.

Kate locked eyes with Ana and mouthed." Go, I will stay with Elena."

The second they were in the hall, Christian grabbed her mask and tore it swiftly from her gorgeous face. He was finally able to see her whole face.

"God, you are so beautiful!" he whispered.

Ana answered him, by grabbing his face roughly and kissing him with all the need she had for him. Her heart was beating erratically, but she wasn't afraid. She was afraid of one thing and that was that someone was going to interrupt them...
