Chosen By The Moon

could bear it if he hit me. | considered him a Friend after all. “Please, cand attempt to tutor her.”

The queen wavedoff, as if she had all but given up trying. | admit, | didn’t have a single ounce of rhythm in

my body, which sucked when all | was trying to do was grasp the order of the steps, without counting out loud,

or looking at my feet while | performed.

“Your grace, | really don’t think that is a wise choice... I...” It was officially validated, he really didn’t want to be

near me. | knew, however, that the queen wouldn't give him the choice.

“Nonsense, you have been tasked with watching over the girl, have you not? Let's see if you can drill something

into that head of hers.” She quickly held her hand out to Stewart expectantly, which he did indeed hold his arm

out for, and preceded to escort her to a regal looking seat at the end of the hall.

Lewis stepped purposefully over tobefore sighing and holding his own arms out in order to assour

dancing position. It was almost as if he would rather be doing anything else other than babysit me. Not that |

blhim.

“Please, just try and concentrate!” | didn’t meet his gaze, instead | nodded and hesitantly grasped his hand in

my own. | heard him suck in a breath and shake his head in my peripheral vision but paid it no mind as | began

to study my feet.

The music once again began to whirl and with it Lewis began to step our bodies around the hall.

Chapter 72

“1,2,3... 1,2,3...” He counted over and over again, until my foot cdown onto his own, and once again the

music stopped. He sighed and gripped my hand tighter. “Stop focusing so much on the steps and simply try to

match my rhythm.” Easier said then done but still | nodded my head while not allowing my eyes to leave my

feet. “Again...” the music once again started and he bagan to count. “1,2,3... 1,2,3... That's it...” Wait, was |

beginning to get it. My feet moved stiffly but they moved in tto the music and on beat with Lewis's

movements.

“Stop looking at your feet, always look your dance partner in the eye.” My gaze moved slowly up to meet his and

the room stopped, but our feet did not.

His pupils dilated at the sight of mine, and his posture becslightly stiffer than it was previously. His grip on

my hand tightened ever so slightly and my movements becslightly more fluent.

| admit, it was easier to dance when | wasn’t looking at my feet, | could somewhat anticipate his next move, and

was able to counter it when | needed too. When his left foot moved my right foot did, and so forth.

We continued to simply step on beat until Lewis did something unexpected, he spununder his arm and

caught my waist again after it, we were now pressed hip to hip and we continued to dance.

“Turn your left foot out a bit...” | did so and he too moved with sent us both now stepping sort of in a large circle.

“Do it again...” | did and we continued to move to each other’s rhythm. By the tthe music was coming to an

end we were close, out chests practically pressed up against each other, right before the final note sounded and

Lewis dipped my body lowly, his eyes never leaving mine.

We stayed like that for what felt like a lifetime, it was in hindsight, most likely a few seconds, just staring into

each other orbs. Until our strange little intimate moment was cut short by the queens words.
