Tango
The beat of music sending a pulsing ryhthm throughout her entire body. The clapping of others around her as the romantic dance ended and spectators celebrated those that had given them something to watch. The atmosphere was as intoxicating as the alcohol they were drinking and the music was liberating.
Feeling weightless she gratefully took his extended hand. An offer to dance with him and an expression of trust. His large hands gently holding her waist as they reached the dancefloor and the latino strums of music began to play a new song. Slow but moving. "I didn't know you danced." Her words felt like they were being spoken by someone else, this all felt so surreal.
Her dance partner looked at her and smiled, almost shyly. "I-I don't... usually." He seemed to be nervous but this just added to the attraction.
She smiled at him softly, making him feel more comfortable and a little less anxious. "So then how come you offered?"
The smile that broke out onto his face was enrapturing, "Be-because I know that you like to dance." Something in that admission made her feel loved, he'd chosen this because of her. They could have just gone to a bar or a restaurant but he'd picked something for her.
She raised an eyebrow at him, "How do you know I like to dance?"
He replied as his fingers moved along the base of her spine and caused tingles to shoot up to her neck, "I can't reveal how I know that." She moved her hands up his chest and rested them on his shoulders, not daring to get any closer but not wanting to move any further away.
"Profiling me?" She asked, attempting to feign annoyance but it didn't work because the smile in her voice crept into her face; betraying herself.
His eyes twinkled and he gave her a soft smile but he didn't reply, he just swayed to the music with her, taking her all in. Her appearance, her hair, the feel of her hips against his hands and her beauty. All of it was providing him with enough material to keep his dreams occupied for a thousand nights. He was such a big person and not just in physical size but in personality that she felt he could swallow her whole and no one would notice.
He was causing her knees to feel weak and as he pulled her close, resting his cheek against hers she felt her heart begin to beat harder and louder. Thudding to the beat of the music they stayed that way, not wanting the song to end even though they knew that was a certainty. She pulled her face away and looked into his eyes, full of expression as if he could speak full sentences to her without opening his mouth.
Lost in his unspoken words she felt relief as another song began and they had another good excuse to stay on the dance floor.
