Devil And The Angel (Closed)

[Mayu]

Eden remembered exactly when she met Damien Marsh, he was a nice guy they had bumped into each other early on. There was a pretty big age difference, but Eden was rather mature for her age. She was now twenty one and she had no idea how old he was, he was a mysterious kind of guy and never told her much. Age never mattered but curiously did kill the cat sometimes. He was a senior in college when she graduated, so she went to his graduation.

She still remembered the first time they met, they were at the same coffee shop and she bumped right into him. Spilling her coffee on him, when she thought he would be super pissed. He was actually calm and smiling at her, that was the first time she met the man. It was rather nice to be able to spend time with him, he asked for her number and from that day they were pretty close. He was always unique and loved his taste in music as well.

Damien gave her the courage to write music and perform it at the club they went to, and she did do it a few times. She was a hit at the club and it was nice to feel the surge of energy people gave her. Once she was up on stage performing, but every time she performed he was with her in the front. And he would cheer her on, she had a huge soft spot for the man. And every day they grew closer, they had known each other six years now.

Were very close and told each other just about everything, though lately he had been acting a bit more aggressive. Though she did not mind it, he was an enigma and enjoyed it. But right now dear Eden was getting out of her car, her greyish blue eyes looking around. Smiling a bit as she was wearing a rather simple black dress, she liked to dress up even if it was just to hang. Since it was not a formal looking dress, she knocked on his door. A movie in her hand.

 

[hcsd1719]

The knock on the door came at no surprise and with a lot of anticipation. I could hear her licking her lips two blocks away as she drove up. This woman was exactly what I was looking for. Young. Athletic. Hot. Ice for eyes... And she was already attached to this body before I even took it. The setting couldn't have been more perfect.

I need to keep reminding myself that she doesn't need to know the full extent of the plan and she's only the vesicle for my child!

Damien was once a good friend of Eden, going back to their school days. Her music always made him enjoy life so much more after seeing her respond to the energy and the smile she would throw him during her performances. Unfortunately, things took a bit of a turn when Beelzebub himself decided it was time to create an offspring. The feelings that accompanied Damian's body were distracting to him but were a necessary obstacle to endure if he was going to have a chance to get close to her. Floods of desires to touch her skin, caress her hair and look into those deep ice blue eyes hammered him every time she entered his thoughts or sight, but these could not be overcome.
Damian's soul had been replaced by Beelzebub as to allow him easy access to Eden. He didn't consider the baggage that came along with a modern male of the twenty first century. The last time he attempted to kill a soul and take the body was in the dark ages which was far easier. Most men of that time worried about things that wouldn't effect him, but this man had deeper thoughts. This man had a bond with Eden that was getting in the way and actually effecting him.

As he approached the door to open it for Eden he felt his heart rate quicken. His breathing was slightly shallow as he turned the lock and opened the door.
There she was. Looking like an Angel dressed in black. Almost Goddess like.

These thoughts stung him to the core of his morals but he couldn't contain them as he opened the door and allowed her access to his commandeered home.


Evening Eden. It's agreeable to see you again...

 

[Mayu]

Eden enjoyed the time she spent with Damien, he was the sweetest guy that she had ever known. It made knowing him enjoyable, remembering everything they had done together since they met. Went to the movies, actually went to the Virgina Beach which took ten hours to get there. And stayed for a week, it was good times like that she enjoyed with her friend. And they seemed to just get even more closer, it was nice to be able to be herself in front of the only guy who seemed to really understand her.

Thinking about everything as it drilled into her head, her memory was very good. And it helped that she was very intelligent as well. It made her want to just go to another level with him, but afraid to even go down that road. Since they were best friends, she was afraid to ask if he loved her. Afraid he would say no and that they would act strange towards each other, it was something she did not like to much. She wished she had the answers, so she did not have to risk everything that they had.

But she heard the door open up and she turned her head, her eyes looking at his and smiled a bit. He was a cute guy, she just wanted to jump him there and then sometimes. She smiled even more thinking about that, but she walked up and kissed his cheek. Something she had done every time they saw each other. It was a sign of their friendship and that they cared for each other on a level not many people would understand. But they seemed to understand each other, and that was what made this special.

"Hello Damien, I brought by that movie you wanted to watch last month. Took me forever to find it, guess it was more popular as a VHS then anything else" She said and stepped in, the movie she brought in was the devils advocate. But she had no idea just how perfect that movie was, since Damien was no longer Damien. Going to his DVD player and knelt down in front of it, humming a little bit as she opened up the door and rested the disk on the tray. And watched it go in.

Standing up she turned looking at him, something about him was different though she could not place it, she just shrugged the idea out of her head. Figuring that it was just her head, so much had been going on. She had a job as a Registered Nurse, and she had been on edge for a few days due to a huge case that came in a week ago. The building that caught on fire, killing two and injuring twenty people. She wanted to be happy, she was with Damien and she sat down on his couch, one leg over the other. Her thigh showing, with her tan legs.

 

[hcsd1719]

Damien was fighting the urge to simply take her right int he doorway so he could get out of this body and away from the feeling that accompanied it. She almost floated past him as she entered the room that seemed to light up as she moved.

UGH, do I actually have my brother to thank for this creature?

What a thought to have, but he couldn't help but watch her body as she bent forward to put the movie in. He hadn't dared say anything to her yet as not to give himself away since he always took him several minutes to regain full control over the body he was in while in her presence. Watching the curves of her body, caressed by the dress she was wearing was making him inpatient, but he knew the time was wrong and he wasn't about to wait another five thousand years before trying again. Tact was a must this time!!

As she sat on the couch he gave his best attempt as sounding normal.

It's good to see you again. How is work going? I trust things are starting to slow down now that all those souls are gone?
I mean now that everyone is getting better...

Damien sat on the other side of the couch still thinking about the silky smooth kiss she had given him as she entered that made his insides burn with desire. Would she understand if he just took her? Did the original Damien and Eden have that kind of relationship? DAMN, I should have done more research before eliminating him, but it was done and he was stuck now with having to work that out for himself.

 

[Mayu]

Eden heard what he said and heard him correct himself, she smiled a little bit and nodded a little. "Yes work is better, after the fire a lot had happened. I am just glad it is now slowly starting to ease up, though how much I had seen. I sometimes wish I was older, been through much more you know?" She said softly and could not help but chuckle a little bit. The man before her was a saint, to her any way. He helped her deal with her parents death, and it was just her all alone. She looked down at her lap.

"I still remember when we were drinking and we almost kissed, it was a nite where you were rather drunk. So I did not let you kiss me, afraid you were just drunk and that was why you wanted to do it. Though you know me I am not good with guys, never had a boyfriend so its hard to tell if you throw signals at me. But I am sure you don't, probably have a girlfriend I do not know about just yet" She sighed a little, she wanted to kiss him that night but did not dare afraid he would regret it.

But all in all now she looked up seeing the movie play, looking at the screen trying to shut herself up before she began to sound stupid. She was just happy to be here with him, able to try and not be stupid in that moment. He was a special guy and wanted to not take advantage of the situation they found themselves in sometimes. She did however take his hand and held it in her own, showing a tenderness she showed only to him. Other guys thought she was strange as a kid, but not Damien.

 

[hcsd1719]

Eden was showing more vulnerability in her body language than he was comfortable with. Yes, he had an agenda, but not to the total expense of her.
Well I'm just glad that things are chilling out a bit for you now. Perhaps you'll be able to get back into your music a little more now. It's been a little while and I always liked hearing you sing.
He continued the small talk for a little while as the movie progressed, which brought a wicked smile to his face that he made sure she wasn't able to see. Was this movie a documentary? HA! Too bad they get the ending wrong!

Just then he remembered he had found a bottle of red wine on top of the refrigerator that morning and wondered if it would calm his nerves.

I'm going to get something to drink. Can I get you anything while I'm up?

He needed to do something to lighten the mood. for himself more than anything else. She was looking incredible sitting there. She had one of those bodies that looks athletic yet soft at the same time. She was fit, curvy & feminine all rolled into one erotic package to say nothing about being drop dead gorgeous.

 

[Mayu]

Something inside her was sensing something about him, he seemed nervous and hoped she was not looking bad here. She had no idea what was going to happen, but she wanted to be open with him. And it showed on her face, a soft smile that never seemed to stop. She had the dress on just in case something happened. She did not know what to think, but she kept watching the movie. It was nice to be wanted by her friend, well wanted on the friend level any way. It was rather powerful to her.

But then he said what he did and smiled nodding a little "Sure, if you are going for the wine I got you pour me a glass" Eden said a soft smile on her face "Or soda is fine what ever I am not picky, you know me" She giggled happily. She rubbed the back of her neck, closing her eyes as she heard the people talking on the T.V made her feel rather content. Though she was under some stress. Perhaps she would throw hints at him, see how he felt about her. If he would ever want to do something else.

All in all she was nervous and if he was then she was as nervous as he was. "I always did want to ask, how you see me? I mean we have been rather close for five years, was just curious what goes on in your head about me?" She turned watching him from the couch and her stormy eyes were more then enough to get people to talk. She switched legs to cross and was thinking about what to say to him. Not wanting to look like a horses ass, though she just decided to be open and honest if he asked her anything.

 

[hcsd1719]

WHAT? Did she just throw that question at me? Is this my in? What if I'm throwing strange vibes and that's why she's asking? UGH!!!! Okay, relax! Think before you respond. Don't be a dumb ass...

How I feel about you. Huh? Oh, come on Eden we've been friends for how long? Years & years. You don't know by now? Your smarter than some people give you credit for, but I happen to know that your a LOT smarter than this.

Giggling out loud, he shot her a huge smile to offset his sidestepping the question to see what more he could get out of her. Turning his body so he could face her he needed to remember to physically go get the wine bottle and not summon it to him.

He poured two glasses of wine & returned to the couch but sat right next to her making sure his leg was able to touch hers. Purposely wiggling a bit too much as he settled back into his seat to rub on her as he settled down hoping to add to her confusion to his answer.

 

[Mayu]

Eden heard what he said and smiled a little bit, unsure what to do from here. When he sat down she watched what he was doing, his leg touching her own. It sent a shock to her system, a feeling she honestly enjoyed. She liked it when he touched her and when she touched him, showed her that there may have been hope for her. But she did not know all to well, tilting her head to the side a little bit. She sighed softly and was trying to think what to say to him. Since really she was happy now.

"Well I know that I am just curious if you....would ever...I dunno kiss me perhaps when you are not drunk?" She blushed looking down big time, she wished she had not said anything now. But it was out in the open and she bit her lip. Thinking he would think her insane she said nothing else, she was very quite from that point on at least for now. But she had no idea where this would take her, and was almost afraid to find out. She rubbed the back of her neck, and was trying to figure out what he was thinking.

 

[hcsd1719]

Damien took a quick look at the clock and then back towards Eden. Watching her every move & as she squirmed next to him he quite enjoyed making her suffer since that was what he was good at but this time it was a bit different.

Come on...

As he said these words, he finished his glass of wine turned & got up off the couch. Without waiting for her reply, he shut the television down & made sure he had the keys to his car in his pocket.

He could see the bewildered look on her face which was exactly what he wanted her to have.

 

[Mayu]

Eden felt like she had been slapped but she just looked back at the movie, no longer thinking of them together since she thought he meant that she was just a friend. So she just relaxed her body and decided to just see what happened. She was unsure about anything any more, she finished up her glass of wine. The wine tasting very good and just kinda forgetting about what was going on in her head right then. She was enjoying the movie and found it rather interesting, the movie was very different.

They ended up getting to the sex scene in the movie and she bit her lip even harder, getting turned on. Sure the scene only lasted a minute or so, but it made her think. Her heart was racing as she was turned on, Eden was a unique girl and she just did not know what to think any more. Shaking her head as she just tried to relax more and more. Just placing her hand on his, not doing anything with it. She just wanted some kind of contact with him, perhaps she was just rather pathetic.

 

[hcsd1719]

Watching her process his actions made his insides stir. Her posture straightened causing her to push her breasts out into the room. She arched her back just a bit which accented that perfect ass she has that she swears is terrible. She was perfect! Almost worth holding onto past this necessity.

Wait, what?!? PAST??? Where did that come from? That wasn’t in the plan?

He walked to the end of the breakfast bar that separated the living room from the kitchen and waited for her to rise from her seat. He knew full well that his bedroom door was right behind him he couldn’t help but take pleasure if the slight terror and regret for saying something that flooded her face.

I’m taking you out for dinner. I’m hungry & you look like you could use a bite to eat too.

 

[Mayu]

Eden watched what he was doing and could not help but smile a bit, he was everything she could ever want. Everything was just so perfect right then and there, she was to the point where she just wanted a sign from the man. But then he said what he did about dinner she looked at him and was curious where that came all of a sudden. Thinking about it for just a second she nodded to him, the movie finished she stood up and watched him very carefully. Curious as to what was going on in his mind.

But then she had no idea if he wanted to go now or what, but she put on her black sweater since she was actually getting chilly. She walked over to him and hugged him, just out of the blue walked up calm as can be. Then boom she wrapped her arms around his body, just wanting to be in his arms for a second. "Thanks for the invite for dinner, would be nice to have a nice meal with you" She said, showing her interest in him and she brushed a strand of hair that escaped her pony tail and grinned.

 

[hcsd1719]

Thinking he managed to evade her question for the time being (Mostly because of his own questions he was now having about her) Damian was thinking the best way to keep her interested in him would be to keep her off balance & happy. He could clearly see the confusion & frustration on her face but was clearly doing what he wanted in some kind of hope for the answer she wanted.
Sticking to his original agenda, as she hugged him abruptly, he gently hugged her back but slowly slid his hand from her upper back down, through her lower back & slightly cupped her ass as he turned to head for the door.

Are you in the mood for Italian?

Perhaps a night out with her would shed some light on the questions he had about her history with Damian & give him a chance to work his way into her bedroom.

Walking down to the car, he moved to her side & opened the door for her.
Your Chariot Ma' Lady...
He shot her a cutting smile as she glided into the seat.

In his mind he was thinking about dinner, a few drinks & perhaps take Eden out to a club for some dancing afterwords.

I've been wanting to try that new place downtown. Everyone says it's got a great menu but we'll be the judge. Yes, I've thought about being with you & kissing you deeply. Would you like to go any place specific? You can choose.

He slipped her answer into his food babble knowing she heard it, but perhaps it got lost in the conversation. Damian knew that keeping her off balance like this would either add to the fun & get him what he was after by the end of the night, or he would know by the end if he needed to move on to another woman. He didn't want that to happen but his usual style wouldn't be used. He didn't want to just throw her into a dark corner & fill her with his seed. He wanted this one to enjoy herself.
Was this the residual of the body he was in or was this something he actually wanted himself? He couldn't tell, but he did want to pleasure her.

As they drove towards the city center, he kept thinking about how she looked sitting on the couch. Those perfectly curved legs crossed & exposed for him to enjoy. Those eyes that could easily encompass what was left of his soul and hold him forever. He was starting to have difficulty carrying the conversation on with her the more he thought about it.

 

[Mayu]

Eden was confused about a lot stuff, but she dealt in the only way she knew how. With a smile, a simple nod and looking at the man she had a crush on. But did not push him any further, since she figured that something was going to happen. Rather it be good or bad she did not know, but she liked the way that he smiled at her. She silently sighed a bit and ended up resting her hands on her hips, looking the way she always did. With the kind of attitude that could get along with others, it was rather nice.

But then as she hugged him, she felt his arms against her. Closing her eyes everything seemed to stand still, she did not know what this meant. And did not want to over think it either, she hated to feel like a horses ass. But then she felt what his hand was doing, she closed her eyes enjoying the feel of what he was doing. Feeling his hands on her ass she was rather shocked about it, but enjoyed the simple touch he had. It always amazed her just how much she could handle, she was a quite girl.

When he suggested Italian she nodded to him, smiling. It was more then fine with her, she showing him just how happy she was. Course Damien was always a rather simple kind of guy, a lot of girls would drool over him. And sure she was his best friend in the world, so he kept telling her any way. And when he had a girlfriend she would be happy for him, and if a girl broke his heart. She would be there to kick her ass, at least verbally any way. It amazed her how protective she was of him.

She followed him outside as she made sure she had what she needed, she enjoyed the way the man looked at her. But he was the only guy that she wanted to be with, and when he made the comment about kissing her she blushed a little bit. He was a simple guy and she loved that about him, she smiled when he opened up the door for her. Walking over and sitting inside the passenger side. Watching him going to the drivers side and taking off once they had their seat belts on.

When he asked where she wanted to go she looked outside her window "Why don't we try that new place, I have heard the same things. Been open already two weeks and its always busy, but I am sure we can get in. Since I am not worried about it, always have a plan B if we need one" She said happily. Talking to him meant that they were both happy, but she had no idea what was on the mans mind. And what would scare her to know is her Damien was long gone, she placed her hand on his squeezing it kindly.

 

[hcsd1719]

I could smell her scent all throughout the car. It was distinctive that she was close to ovulating. Even with his far heightened senses he couldn't quite determine if it would be tonight the next that she would be prime for the taking. Then again, her scent was intoxicating. The smell of Jasmine consumed him and he chanced looking over at her delicate body as they continued their small talk.
The perfect breasts. Gorgeous eyes. Hair you could wrap around your hand. An amazing hourglass figure. Legs & ass that could make traffic stop on a green light.
He noticed that the car was growling at him as he was driving & quickly realized that he was getting a little heavy footed on the S5 while thinking about her.

I was thinking... It's been a long time since we've had a night out on the town. Interested in a little dancing after dinner?

He knew full well that she wasn't overly thrilled about dancing. That much he observed, but she also enjoyed herself and gave herself over to the music. The perfect opportunity to tempt her lust!

 

[Mayu]

Eden was content with what was going on right then, she watched where he was going and heard what he said. Normally she was not thrilled with dancing, but if he wanted to do it she would do it. She did not like dancing because it felt like she had two left feet. And that was something she never wanted to do, to keep beating his feet under her own accidentally. Her stormy eyes looked at him and showed him a rather soft look. Eden had wondered what got into him, but she was not at all concerned about it.

"Alright sure why not Damien" she said a nod as she looked out the passenger window, thinking of a million different things. She was to the point in her life where she wanted a family, but would never admit it out loud. She had the ability to do anything, yet she was lonely and it was almost hard to breath at times. Being lonely was something she had been for years, sure he helped her but she wanted to be touched, to be loved and to have a future. She was unsure what future she had with him.

 

[hcsd1719]

Damian pulled up to the front door of to the restaurant and immediately got out. He half heard Eden question him as to why he didn't park the car normally but once a woman dressed in an luring dress opened her door and assisted her out of the car she realized that there must be valet parking.

He came around the back side of the car and met up with her only to walk immediately inside. Eden noticed that he didn't take a ticket, give the Valet the keys or tip them.

Eden's scent encompassed Damian once again and a smile returned to his face. His hand returned to that perfectly arched place on her lower back as they walked into the dining room together. The Concierge didn't say a word to either of them, but motioned to Damian to follow him where he brought them to the main table in the center of the room. Almost as if they had reservations. As they were sitting down, a waiter brought over a bottle of Champagne, opened it & poured two wonderfully fluted crystal glasses for them. Everything was set into place with a precision you only see in the five star restaurants.

The entire time, Eden seemed stunned and Damian wasn't phased a bit.

 

[Mayu]

Eden watched what he was doing, he was knowing what he was doing by the looks of it. But she said nothing, since she did not how places like this worked. And she was quite about it, she was in his company which made everything really worth it. Grinning a little bit as she was thinking of a few things, but would not share what her thought was. It was the kind of moment where she thought about how things were playing out. It was nice and so far everything was just going a nice simple direction.

But when they went by tables she saw how everything was, the food looked five star and she looked at Damien with a kind smile. Could he afford this place? She began to think she should order the cheapest thing here. But knowing him he would throw a fit if she did that, she did not want to do that of course. But she followed silently and noticed a piano there thinking someone must play here sometimes. Which gave her an idea for a career change, being able to play here for a few hours would be nice.

But then they got to their table and she smiled big time, sitting down she relaxed seeing that this was going to be a night, she was actually sure about that. Sighing softly as she reached over placing her hand on his. "This place looks expensive did you know it looked like this?" She said trying to gauge what he thought of this place. She would be happy as long as he was happy in return, she wanted this night to be one to remember. Their first date, then again was this considered a date?

 

[hcsd1719]

Seeing the happiness on Eden's face gave him overwhelming joy. He was proud of himself that he was able to put that kind of a smile on her face.

"This place looks expensive did you know it looked like this?"


I had heard as much but I was intending on finding out for myself if it would be worth taking you to at some point. The time just seemed right to do it now.

A hint of devilish anticipation arose from his face as he could see her start to process what he had said.

Perhaps I'll take this to the next level now He said to himself.

With a twitch of his hand, it started to make her blood rate quicken. Moving over her body with his mind, he mentally found her clit and started to telekinetically massage her. Just enough to start her juices flowing.

"Perhaps I'll take her tonight for pleasure and tomorrow for my plan."

 

[Mayu]

Eden had no idea what was on his mind since she could not read it, though she wished she could. She sat back relaxing and hearing what he said she smiled. "Your sweet but you don't need to break the bank to please me you know that Damien" She said looking up at him and was rather happy about it. Running her fingers against the glass of water, then taking the cup she put it to her lips and sipped it much like a lady but also did not slurp. She could not stop looking at him, just wanting him happy.

But then something was going on and felt something inside her body, or perhaps it was outside. The feeling that made her close her eyes, her hands in her lap as she clenched her hands into fists stopping herself from moaning or even playing with her self. Though masturbation never seemed to do much for her, but something like this. She opened up her eyes trying to push the feeling right out of her head but it shook her body. Crossing one leg over the other not to sure what was wrong with her.

 

[hcsd1719]

Damian was taking great delight in watching her fight the urges he was giving her. Unfortunately, he was still fighting the urges the possessed body was providing him. He wouldn't be able to simply ravage her. She would need to be taken. Pleasured. Seduced...

As he was becoming flooded with sexual thoughts about Eden, he pushed one final time at her body mentally, driving her closer to the edge of orgasm, but he didn't want to go too far. He wanted her riding close but without release.

Is something wrong, Eden? Is there something wrong with the Champagne ?

Without waiting for her response, he called to the waiter and started in on the incompetency of the establishment to store their beverages with quality control. He started to point out the fact that it was clearly having adverse effects on his lady. He was partially watching Eden out of the corner of his eye to see if she took delight in his making a fuss over her. He was driven to make her feel like a Queen. HIS Goddess.

 

[Mayu]

Eden wanted to cry out but again kept herself quite and she heard w hat Damien asked a smiled a little. But then she watched as he fussed over her, she blushed a bit as she looked down for a second. Then looking back to him she heard the conversation as the man was answering all of his questions, she reached over again her hand on his. Showing she was okay, a bit wet and horny but she was more then fine. Her eyes looking at him, she truly was rather happy about everything and this was sweet.

"I am okay Damien just feeling a bit out of sorts" She said and when the waiter left Eden was calm and never wanted to bug people. But how do you tell a guy you respect and say "yes sorry something came over me I almost had an orgasm" No that was something you did not tell people because it was stupid sounding. And it was something she was not willing to do, not willing to sound like an idiot. She smiled at the thought and it drove her to enjoy. She began to look over the menu seeing all sorts of good sounding dishes.

 

[hcsd1719]

Damien, elated that she was unaware of what was going on played along with her and assured she was doing alright.
Well if your sure your okay, then I guess that's good enough for me.

As she looked over the menu, he caught himself studying her facial features & staring into her eyes. Those icy cold, DEEP blue eyes. He could become lost inside them. This woman was becoming intoxicating to him and he was battling himself to accept the fact that he liked it.

Dinner went along normally. Simple talk between them. Good food. Every now & again, Damian would use his mind to heat her body back up. Mentally lick her nipples. lightly blow on the back of her neck. Run a ginger along the inside of her thigh. He couldn't help but smile as he watched her squirm in her seat. He almost let out a moan himself as he watched her fight the urge to enjoy herself, but he didn't want to stop. He wanted her worked up as much as he possibly could get her.

You know Eden, your squirming around quite a bit tonight. Are you alright? You look like your enjoying yourself quite a bit over there.

 

[Mayu]

Eden did not know what to say to him when he asked if she was okay, she did not want to lie but also did not want to think about it. She enjoyed the wine and the food it was delicious, and the talk they were having was very nice. A soft smile on her face as she began to think of all the excuses she could come up with, looking down a bit she sighed softly. Perhaps she should tell him part truth, and was rolling around in her head. But then she just sighed and looked right into those eyes of his.

"I am okay, I am enjoying myself trust me on that. Just getting this feeling over my body, its crazy and if I went on you would probably think I was nuts. Because I am starting to think that' She said chuckling trying to dismiss what he was asking her, tilting her head as she finished up her glass of wine. And wondered what else would happen today, she was actually looking forward to a nice time of dancing with him. Perhaps he would not notice that she was a terrible dancer, she could only hope.
