❝People came and went in the other studios, but studio five remained occupied, music trickling gently from the crack in the door.
Inside, June forgot there was anyone else in the building. After a certain point, she forgot there was a world at all. The universe became her image in the mirror and the throbbing hurt in her ankle, her head, her lungs, and the swell of the music thrumming under her feet.
Sweet drops of relief, the momentary weightlessness of lifting onto the toe of her point shoe. The soaring sensation of fouette turns, air stirring beneath her. Pain pulsed in her fingertips and raced up through her neck.
But that was it. That was what she needed. She gritted her teeth and kept going. ❞

Dancing with the Badboy
I was surprised when she ran her hands down my abs, almost to the waist band of my pants. "Mila," I warned, watching her bite back a smile. There was unmistakable tension around us and I had no idea where it came from. Maybe it was the alcohol. I stared down at her, watching the sultry look on her face. "What are you doing to me," I muttered, resting my forehead against hers. I barely had a chance to blink before her lips were pressed against mine. My hands found their way to her hips, gripping them tightly as she tugged at my hair. Spinning her around, I pinned her against the wall. It felt like my lungs were going to burst as I pulled away, breathing hard. Mila gazed up at me, her eyes glazed over and cheeks pink. She reached up, wiping what I'm assuming was her lipstick from my lips. I couldn't help but lean down and press my lips against hers again. It was almost as if I was addicted to the way she fit against my body. "Ajax, we're both drunk," she gasped as I bit down on her ear gently. We could deal with the consequences later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TW: Mentions of Anxiety, Depression, and some suicidal thoughts Some Mature content - I'll put a warning before ;) Highest ranking in Romance - #8 12/20 Highest ranking in Dance - #1 12/22Complete

BLACK SWAN
She dances. Even when her feet bleed. She smiles. Even when there's no one watching. She hears clapping. Even in the silence. No one gave her a name. No one remembers when she began. But the music doesn't stop. And neither does she. Because if she stops dancing- She might stop existing. This isn't a performance. This is a possession. The stage is cracked. The mirrors lie. The audience is gone. And yet, the Black Swan keeps dancing. But for how long? What's going to happen... when the music finally stops?Complete
