"Come with me." Akashi breathed against your ear and before you could even question why, he spun you expertly onto the dance floor. "You've been avoiding me all night.'

"No, I haven't."

"Yes, you have." He pulled you closer and spun you once again, forcing you to lean into him while you hold his muscular shoulders. "Even though you may believe your presence is not needed tonight, you are most certainly wrong."

"I want to show you off to the world," You feel your heart skip a beat when his lips form a small smile. "and I can only do that if you're by my side."

While following his lead, there was a part of you that wished you could escape from the lingering eyes of his party guests. But the hand holding yours was warm and strong, and the one resting against your waist was creating havoc in your head. "Maybe we should-"

"Stop," He interrupted, tugging you closer to his frame. "Just relax and allow me to dance with the most beautiful woman in the room."

Heat rushed to your cheeks and you hide your face in his chest. "Seijuro..."

"My words are absolute." He lifted your chin before leaning in and placing a chaste kiss to your lips. For a few minutes, the two of you swayed back and forth following the smooth melody of the music that played throughout the room. With the soft symphony coming to an end, Akashi twirls you once more before guiding you to the edge of the floor that separates you from his fellow party-goers. He quickly tucks your hand into his arm, escorting you off the dance floor and then out onto the dimly lit balcony that allowed you a little more privacy.

"Seijuro, as much as I'm enjoying myself." You started before nervously twiddling your thumbs together. "When can we leave?"

"Soon," He moved closer to you. "I promise."

"Seriously, the things I do for you." Looking up into his eyes, you quickly become lost in their depths, causing a subtle smile to surface. You rest your head against his shoulder. "I can't wait to get home and-"

Taking notice of your pause, his mouth curled in a teasing smile. "And do what, love?"

You turn to wrap your arms tightly around his shoulder, hiding your face in the crook of his neck in a fail attempted to hide your glowing face while you let out a small whine. "Seijuro..."

"And do what, [Name]." He repeated, drawing closer to you and tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear. "You never finished your sentence."

"A-And, a-and-" Tongue-tied, you finally gave in. "A-And spend the night with you."

"The night? Did you plan on seducing me [Name]?"

"S-Shut up!" Your cheeks are still caught in the heat of your blush that was now hidden beneath the dimly light candles. "With you being so preoccupied with work lately, it's been so long since we last- you know."

"Made love?" He whispered softly and pressed his lips against the tender skin beneath your ear. You held back a moan as you licked your lips and pushed aside the sudden image of Akashi hovering over you, his eyes dark and intense with lips parted just enough to let you know that he intended to claim you by leaving his mark all over your body.

"S-Seijuro, stop teasing me!" You pulled away from his embrace.

Akashi laughs softly as he wrapped an arm around your waist, pulling you against his body again. "Relax, I promise I won't bite. At least, not where it will show tomorrow."

You knew that before the night was over, Akashi Seijuro was going be the death of you.
