PLEASE READ:
Below are two videos of ballroom dancing, they are what I think Hades and Persephone look like dancing. To get a better idea of the chapter watch them.

"Yes you may," Persephone smiled at her king as Hades offered his had. She took his had as they made their way to the center of the floor, the ghost orchestra waiting for the cue.

Hades bowed to Persephone as she curtsied to him. In the curtsy though Persephone untied the back panel of the dress as a sea of red came flowing down to the ballroom ground. The slim dress had changed expanding into a flowing lace dress, it sashayed around her ankles as she rose to take Hades hand.

Hades raising one eyebrow made no other comment as they came together, one hand on her waist the other holding her hand. The music started as Persephone pointed her toe out in the second position. Hades began dancing guiding Persephone through a simple box step at first, slow with the music then began to get faster as the tempo increased. Hades and Persephone glided together into the Viennese Waltz as the rhythm picked up, the other courtiers now joining, as skirts swished all around, Persephone bristé her legs as she made light jumps, Hades lifting her through them. They moved from one position to another as as they linked their legs, then Persephone was spun out and in and dipped, the Viennese turning into a more of a swing style as Hades pulled Persephone through his legs she laughing at his style change. The swing always made Persephone smile as the fast pace and stunts made her head spin. The ballroom and the crowed melted away as Hades and Persephone only had eyes for each other. Persephone followed each of Hades moves in sink, knowing when he wanted to dip her or flip her. They moved so fast that even when the partners were supposed to change they stayed together, not wanting to dance with anyone else.

She had been a horrible dancer when they had meat, stepping on his toes and never turning the right way, but he had been patient teaching her the simple four foot box step, counting out each measure. She had watched her feat the whole time they danced, but at the end of it Hades had tilted her head up saying, "your dancing is only as good as your partners, and you partner is up hear, my feat will only confuse you."
Persephone had blushed at that only nodding as Hades large hands held her softly.

Persephone and Hades danced nearly the entire evening, a blur of red and black on the dance floor, only taking breaks when Persephone needed a glass of wine. The court would mix with them here and there dancing the waltz and the swing, however even Nyx in her infinite power was done after two dances, pulling her husband off the floor with her. She liked watching the lord and lady of the underworld though, because they were so evenly matched, and most of the court ended up just watching the two dance together as the music turned into a Tangoed, the dead musicians giving it flavor. 

At one point though the court began to go to bed as they bid their goodbyes while the pair took a small break. Hades and Persephone were polite as they shook hands with each god and goddess of the realm.

Even after the others were gone, Hades and Persephone still danced, however slower now as Persephone rested her head on Hades chest. They swayed back and forth as Persephone listened to Hades breathing through his shirt.

"This is what I missed the most, us just being together. I feel like I am invincible when I'm in your arms, you are alway there to catch me when I leap."

Hades nodded as his chest rumbled deeply, "that is very cheesy" he laughed quietly.

Persephone looked up at him punching his bisect, "I'm trying to be romantic and your ruining it."

"Well if it is romance you want then here", and with that Hades tilted Persephone's head up as he dipped his down, kissing her, like a butterfly kiss, it was soft and sweet.

Persephone however straitened a little as she positioned her mouth better, their lips beginning to dance. Her tongue at first in control as she slipped it in his mouth brushing up against his teeth, her lips pressed tightly against his. She made long strokes with her tongue as she reached her arms up into Hades hair.

Persephone thought she had good control of the situation, until Hades took over. Hades turned the long kiss kiss into a fiery one as he moved his hands from Persephone's hips to her face. His mouth was demanding as it pulled at hers. They had stoped dancing now as Persephone pulled away, panting heavily.

Hades eyes twinkled as he saw just how unraveled the one kiss had made her. "Now my dear shall I continue being romantic? Or would you like to retire to the bedroom?"

Leaning in to his already growing tent Persephone bit back, "I think you already know."
