She was being stubborn. Lydia was fully aware of this. But she refused to react the way Edgar wanted her too. She ignored his looks and steadfastly stared at his shoulder, refusing to meet his gaze during the dance. The music changed and his grip around her waist tightened. Lydia gasped as he pulled her close; the position they were in was surely indecent.

Lydia held her breath as Edgar leaned close, whispering in her ear, "This dance requires us to stand much, much closer."

The hand around her waist traveled to her back, his fingers lightly exploring the sensitive areas of her skin left bare by the cut of the dress. Lydia bit her lip in frustration as Edgar's hand traced an odd pattern on her skin. A light shiver ran through her and Lydia had a feeling Edgar was smirking at the subtle reaction he had caused.

Leaning her forehead against his shoulder, Lydia closed her eyes and attempted to let her hair hide the rising blush on her cheeks. She really hated it when Edgar teased her so.
