This is a response to Leigh's Soundtrack Challenge III at The DG Forum. Rules were:

1. Must be inspired by the following piece of music: Over the Rhine – "Trouble"

Define "inspired by" however you choose. Whether it's simply the chord progression or a downright literal interpretation of the lyrics is up to you - just don't break rule 4.

2. Must ship Draco/Ginny

3. Must be a one-shot. No length constraints, but it can't be chaptered.

4. Must NOT be a song fic.

It Takes Two to Tango

Ginny could feel his eyes on her before she even saw her face. She tapped her finger against her flute of champagne, casting a look over her shoulder at him, meeting his steely grey eyes. The corner of her mouth lifted slightly, and she made a point to hold his gaze for five seconds before she placed her glass down on the bench and walked across the dance floor, her hips swaying challengingly.

Draco took the bait, pressing his own drink into his friend's hand, and then he strode confidently towards Ginny, planting himself in her path. She took a step to the right, which he mirrored, and then she took a step to the left, which he again copied, but this time he snaked his hand around her waist, drawing her close to his body. Their eyes met, and her lips curved into a slight smile before she wrenched herself away, spinning three steps back from him, her black dress floating tantalising around her, giving a glimpse of a smooth, creamy thigh.

He watched her intently as she trailed her hand up her body, reaching above her head, her fingers curling in a beckoning gesture, all the while keeping her eyes locked with his. Draco stalked towards her, his hand closing over the one she held above her head, while the other rested lightly on her left shoulder. This time it was his turn to smile, the expression lazy yet seductive, and then they began to dance, legs tangling with each other, as if they were trying to trip the other up, yet there was a graceful purpose to this battle of movement.

People turned to watch the striking couple, transfixed by the way they swept across the floor like they owned it. There was something indecent about the dance, something that left each of the spectators feeling like a voyeur watching something far more explicit. For the couple themselves, however, it was a simple matter of routine. The outside world did not exist to them: to them there was only the blond and the redhead, bodies intertwined, eyes never leaving the other.

Draco dipped her back in a low sweep, his hand gliding up her thigh as he leant his face close to her breasts. She ran her fingers through his hair, one hand trailing caressingly against the floor, submitting to him completely as he pulled her back up close to his body, their faces now inches apart.

"I see you haven't lost your touch," Draco murmured.

"Nor you," she responded, meeting his eyes with a sultry look.

His mouth curved into a smile, and then he leaned in closer, brushing his lips lightly against hers. She couldn't help but close her eyes, revelling in the forbidden contact.

"Come back with me, Ginevra," he whispered.

Her eyes snapped open, and she took a step back, breaking his hold on her. "Uh-uh, darling, that's not part of the game."

His jaw tightened. "Maybe I don't care about the games anymore."

Ginny smiled and trailed her hand along his chest as she circled him like a bird of prey. "What's this?" she taunted, stopping before him again, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Has the great Draco Malfoy actually fallen for someone other than his own reflection?"

Draco breathed out evenly and took a step towards her, leaving barely an inch between them. "No more than you, love. Don't try and deny what you feel."

She laughed and closed the small distance between them, her lips a hairsbreadth from his. "Think you can handle me?" she asked huskily.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"

Her smile came out to play again, and then he was kissing her – deep, drugging kisses that made her head spin and her blood hum with pleasure.

"Come away with me," he repeated, planting a soft kiss near her ear.

And this time, Ginny followed.
