summary: You spin my head right round.

In a crowd of swaying bodies, the blasting music thumped in her ears and flowed through her veins. Scattered flashing lights bathed the room in a neon glow.

Her eyes found his, accidentally, and time seemed to still.

His dark, dark eyes pierced through her, glinting with promises of untold pleasures. Standing alone across the room, he slowly, boldly, undid the first few buttons of his dress shirt, revealing a teasing view of his toned chest that made her heart race.

Flustered, she looked away. Her heartbeat hammered madly in her ears, her cheeks stained dark pink. She'd never been stricken like that before, not from a mere glance. She looked to her friends, finding one dancing with a boy with pink hair while the other charmed the bartender for free drinks.

Forcing her racing heart to calm itself, she closed her eyes and immersed herself in the pounding music, in the heat of the bodies grinding around her. Gradually, her body began to sway, dancing with smooth, graceful movements akin to the fluidity of water.

Moments later, she felt a pair of strong hands on her hips, drawing her body to a firm chest. Cool lips pressed against the back of her ear, making her shiver.

"Dance with me."

His voice was low and husky, scraping against her skin.

Glancing over her shoulder, she found herself lost in pools of dark onyx fringed with messy black hair. His hands were cold, his fingers seeping into her skin. Shivers shot down her spine as he slipped his arm possessively around her waist.

He began to sway, slowly, leading her to the driving rhythm of the next pounding song. His hair tickled her skin and his cool breath brushed against her throat, charming her, enchanting her, as she sank into a euphoric abyss.

She rolled her hips back, eliciting a sharp breath. His reaction fueled her boldness as she arched her back, grinding her body seductively against him.

He hissed a dirty curse in her ear, and raw heat pooled in her belly.

Slipping his hand in hers, he guided it to his silky hair. Her fingers glided through the dark locks as his other hand slid lower, caressing her inner thigh. She shivered and continued swiveling her hips, rubbing against his hard body. He panted quietly by her ear, his breaths coming shorter and harsher as he rocked with her, stroking her skin and nudging a knee between her legs.

He pressed his cool lips against her neck, making her gasp at the sudden sensation. Her toes curled in anticipation, her head lolling to the side as he brushed her hair over her shoulder. He chuckled quietly, and she trembled at the rich sound.

He placed his hands on her hips and spun her, turning her body to face him. Her heart skipped a beat as his dark, dark eyes locked with hers, glinting sinfully. He pulled her back to him, pressing his cool body flush against hers.

Teasingly slow, his hands glided down the curves of her body, sending wild shivers down her spine. She bit her lip as his eyes locked with hers, his face dangerously close and his lips even closer.

His fingers ran along her thigh before he wrapped it around his hips. He pushed her onto him as he ground into her, grunting in her ear.

A striking jolt shot through her, and everything became hazy from the smoldering heat and raw pressure. He thrust against her again, hard, his thumb massaging circles into her thigh and driving her wild.

Her breaths came heavier as he dipped his head, grazing his teeth down her neck. She closed her eyes and slipped her hand in his hair, surrendering to the pleasurable chills running up her spine. His mouth gave a powerful suck, eliciting a breathy moan as her nails dug into his shoulder.

The pounding music, the grinding bodies— everything seemed to fade away. She circled her arms around his neck and rolled her hips forward as his tongue brushed against her throat, swirling around her pulse.

She shut her eyes tighter, her head spinning from the wild sensations coursing through her. Her leg fell from his waist as he nudged his knee between her thighs, keeping her steady. He buried a hand in her hair and tilted her head to one side, scattering kisses along her searing skin.

He kissed her neck, her jaw, the corner of her mouth. Her lashes brushed against the hollows of her cheeks as she massaged his hair, sighing softly when he trailed kisses to a sensitive spot below her ear.

Her hand, aching to touch, slid slowly down his chest. Her palm glided over rippling muscle, tracing every ridge. Unlike his mouth, wet and warm, his body was hard and cold to touch. When her nails teased his skin, he grunted and panted shallow breaths in her ear. She rested her hand against the middle of his chest, feeling the wild pulse of his heart. He scraped his teeth against her earlobe before taking his mouth away.

His forehead leaned against hers as he looked at her under hooded eyes. She panted heavily, eyes locked on his collarbone with cheeks flushed dark and tousled blue hair curled around her face. His breath ghosted over her lips, and her eyes closed, yearning for his lips to press against hers and explore her skin. His hand rose and held the side of her face, his thumb brushing her cheekbone.

Time seemed to still.

Suddenly his hand fell from her face, bringing her out of her trance. Distracted by the soft pants in her ear, it took her several moments to realize the music had stopped.

The lights streaked across the room, illuminating some faces of the crowd. Her eyes fluttered open as she glanced to the hand against his chest, unaware that her fingers had become interlaced with his.

He spoke quietly, his voice a hazy blur until she was able to register what he had said.

"Tell me your name."

Meeting his gaze, his eyes seemed to pierce hers, the daunting intensity building with each passing second.

She swallowed, licking her dry lips and thanking the heavens above she could remember her name.

"Juvia."

His gaze dropped to her lips before returning to her eyes.

"Juvia," he repeated slowly, her name rolling smoothly off his tongue.

He released her hand and waist, and Juvia almost collapsed without the support of his body.

His eyes roamed down her face and body, as if memorizing every little detail. The lights filtered across the room, flashing on his face, and she caught a glimpse of a scar above his eye as his gaze locked with hers.

Her heart pounded in her chest, wild and erratic.

His lips curled in a dangerously attractive smirk, his dark eyes never leaving her face.

"Thanks for the dance, Juvia."

She parted her lips, desperate to know the name of the man who was sin itself, but before she could speak, a hand tugged on her wrist.

"There you are!"

Juvia turned around, finding Lucy smiling at her with bright brown eyes and flushed cheeks.

"Ready to go?"

Juvia glanced over her shoulder, looking to the boy with dark hair and piercing eyes, only to find he was no longer there.
