Author's Note: This is the last multi-chapter fic that I will be doing until at least one of my others are complete. This one was burning inside of me for ages and I have at least five chapters done now, so I just really wanted to put this multi-chapter fic up and I will be putting one chapter up every Sunday! I hope you all enjoy and happy reading!

Dance

Georg felt Maria bury her face into the side of his neck as they continued to sway together in time with the soft music that the string quartet were playing in the restaurant of their hotel one evening, a small smile spreading across his lips as he used the hand that was settled upon the small of her back through her dinner-dress to pull her closer until their chests touched and she snuggled further into him, the fingers on their joined hands intertwining as he turned his head to kiss her temple lingeringly.

'I love holding you in my arms like this, you know.' He murmured against her skin as allowed his lips to linger upon her temple, Maria releasing a soft sigh as she brushed the pad of her thumb across his knuckles and nuzzled her nose delicately against the smooth skin that she found at the side of his neck. 'Your chest pressed to mine and your head buried in my neck as I sway with you and get to pretend that we're the only two people in the room.' He brushed the pad of his thumb against her lower back.

Maria couldn't prevent her rosy lips from curling up into a loving smile as she pulled away from his shoulder a few moments later and released his hand in order to place both of hers upon his chest, her heart swelling with love for him as she felt his strong hands find the swell of her hips through her dress and she slipped her slender arms loosely around his neck before he pulled her against him once again. 'I love you.' She breathed, the happiness that she felt evident in her soft voice as she gazed up at him.

'I love you.' He replied as he allowed one of his hands to leave one of her hips momentarily and come up to stroke her face, her ice-blue eyes fluttering closed of their own accord as a beautiful smile spread across her lips and she nuzzled against his hand. 'Can I kiss you?' Maria's eyes fluttered open once again at his request, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth as she teased the dark hair at the nape of his neck with her fingertips. 'I know that you don't like drawing attention to yourself, which is why I asked, but if you-' He was cut off mid-sentence by her delectable lips covering his own.

She kissed him softly for several long moments as her small hand cupped the back of his neck in its palm and her free hand was settled upon his strong chest through his shirt, his hands back on her hips as he responded with soft and slow kisses of his own before Maria began to pull away as she drew his bottom lip through her teeth, her porcelain cheeks slightly flushed when she met his gaze once again. 'And you say I talk too much.' She breathed with a precious giggle as she ran her hands along the front of his toned chest. 'I'm a married woman now, Captain, I'm not the naïve girl I was when we first met.'

'You certainly aren't.' He growled with a small smirk before cradling the back of her head in his hand and drawing her into a long and slow kiss, her arms slipping back around his neck as she giggled softly against his lips and allowed herself to surrender to his advances. Neither one of them had noticed that the string quartet had come to the end of their piece as their tongues danced to a rhythm all of their own, soft hums and sighs of satisfaction escaping the two of them as they were locked in an embrace.

That didn't matter though.

After all, not all dancing required the use of the feet.
