Sensual Whispers: Tales Of Passion ( Smut Series)
The Cinderella ball 4
She slipped her tiny hand into his and pulled him to the bar. The crowd parted around them.
The feeling of her delicate fingers made Ronan's heart leap. Soon they were looking at each other over the rims of fizzy champagne glasses.
The crowd meant they had to stand very close together
There was a little edge to her voice that suggested that the drink went straight to her head. Her cheeks even flushed.
Ronan
I don't think I've ever seen you at one of these things before,
zara
I've never been. In fact, this is my very first party ever. I'm not usually allowed.
Ronan
** What did that mean? She was obviously too old for strict parents. **
But that thought reminded him why he was here, and a dark cloud dimmed his mood.
Ronan
I'm at these things constantly. My mother is on the ballet's artistic board. My stepmother, technically. That means she does a lot of fundraising, and I usually help.
Ronan
What brings you here?
zara
I heard it was the Cinderella Ball.
Ronan
Yes, Mr. Wheeldon's new production was a big hit for us. Figured we'd use the name to draw the crowd
He pointed to the banners of Kochetkova in her costume.
Ronan
They say it's the best new 'Cinderella' in 50 years.
zara
I wish I'd seen it. Everyone here must have loved it.
Ronan
Sure, the couple who stayed awake and sober.
zara
It's the most wonderful story.
zara
When I heard about this I couldn't stay away.
Ronan
It's just another fundraiser, really.
zara
Maybe for you it is, but for me…well, I've just never seen anything like this.
zara
I know it's really not right my being here but...forget that, come dance with me.
