As a strong hand wrapped around hers, she could feel it and feel her heart racing at the same time. Ridiculous! Earlier, she had been seen dancing alongside the prince on the dance floor. However, after that, he had scarcely looked at her, and the pomp and circumstance of the setting had tempered her excitement.
Now, his attention was completely focused on her, and it was so intense that it seemed to be smoking.
Why did he feel such rage at her? What was wrong with her?
As he tightened his grip around her waist with his long fingers, he remarked to her something to the effect of "You've made a new pal." When he touched me, I immediately felt a profound sense of foreboding run through my entire being. It was as if she had startled a slumbering monster by getting too close to it.
