I turn around as I hear Ragnor at my bedroom door “alright ladies it’s time, all the guests are here" Revna walks out first then I, we stop at the balcony before the stairs our mother is called first by Ragnor “Freya Von Renouf” she walks down with her head held high looking spectacular and the crowd ooing and ahhing with clapping our father waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs, Revna went next “Revna Von Renouf" the same awe from the crowd below, with our brother Lucas waiting for her. My body felt like it was on from nerves and excitement, but the nerves I never got so it was a new feeling Ragnor was watching me with a smile “you look amazing my sister Dim is in for some trouble tonight" that helps me feel a bit more confident “Erica Von Renouf” I suck in a breath and as I descend down the stairs I let the breath out, the crowd in awe it was strange everyone mummer how beautiful I looked and clapping the entire time... my mother and Revna only got the clapping when they met their partners. I finally meet Dimitri’s eyes, he looked amazing with his suit he has a steampunk attire I prefer this then the actually 1800s men’s wear, he has black pants on that are tight much to my delight with black dc Martin boots, he has a cavalier vest with silver and green with a black shirt beneath it he has a top hat on with marvellous pair of cinder goggles they are made copper and leather with a dark lens with copper spikes around them. His mask covers one part of his face over his nose then coming around covering only a little of the next eye, it looks like tortured iron over lapping with rivets and cogs around it. My smile grew wide as I reached the bottom and he held his hand out to me so I placed my hand into his, his thumb rubbed the top of my hand while he wrapped his arm around my waist and tilting me backwards and kissing me passionately in front of everyone who laughed and cheered before we stood back up to walk further into the large ballroom.
As you would enter the grand ball room you will be taken a back from how beautiful and large it is, it is beautiful white walls with gold trimmings. It has a dome ceiling all the way through with beautiful art work within the domes of all supernatural beings, it has beautiful drapes over the windows there are some balconies from the second level of the ball room which looks below the dance floor which is surrounded by tables and chairs with white tablecloths with gold trimmings on the chairs. There is still plenty of room on the dance floor for most or all the people attending. With pillars also every 10meters and beautiful silk outstretching between the pillars. There is also a stage for where the band will usually play and speeches are also taken place there so everyone is able to see you.
Dimitri walks me over to our table with his family and mine, Ragnor takes his place on the stage beginning to do the speeches. He talks about how well everything is going within our home of power, the packs around the world…. He talks about the future of the Fae world and what we plan on getting through in the next 12months, if everyone does their role correctly then things look good for another pay rises and parties to be looking forward too. Once his finished the speeches the band starts to play the cellos and violins with double bass’s and other beautiful instruments, I squeeze Dimitri’s hand enjoying the music the waiters and waitresses bring out the meals and wine, beer or spirts depending on what people. Finally the meals had finished I stood up walking onto the ballroom floor, Dimitri slowly followed walking towards me like a predator and I was his prey… the excitement of being the only two on the floor was amazing everyone had their eyes on us, he walks around me eyeing me with a grin I bite my bottom lip I extend my hand out to him and as soon as he goes to take it I pull it back smirking back at him I move around the dance floor with him close behind, “You playing hard to get?” I place one hand on my chest and the other onto his pushing him backwards every step he took I followed him till he stopped, and I walked into his arms “Don’t I always?” I reply, he takes this opportunity to wrap his arm around my waist pulling me close removing my hand from his chest to his hand. He smiles believing he has concurred but I have a trick still up my sleeve, we dance beautifully together so in sync I lean in close we kiss stopping in the middle of the dance floor finally other people started coming onto the floor, he looks over my head seeing Ragnor calling him over to talk business with the some of the alphas “I’m sorry I have to go see what Ragnor needs” I smile and nod briefly “It’s ok, I’ll find another dance partner” I walk around the outskirts of the dance floor prowling looking for a suitable partner and there he is leaning against a column, his strong jaw line with beautiful grey eyes shimmering with sandy blonde shoulder length hair slicked back, I could tell he was athletic he had broad shoulders and very well sculpted looking at his tight fitted clothes, his attire very similar to Dimitri but a different colour red and silver, our eyes fixated on each other neither of us moving until a couple stopped and started dancing in front us.
I lose sight of him and finally the couple move on and his not there anymore, I start looking around until I feel his presence behind me, I stopped looking I didn’t need to see who was behind me I knew it was ‘him’ my body tightens as he moves closer his hand slides around my waist while his other held my chin tilting it to the side our backs are towards the main crowd his lips I can feel are so close to my skin but he they never touch my skin but his hot breath sends a shiver down my spine you could feel almost hearing the crackling of electricity between us “mmmm” I could hear him being very appreciated, I lean back into him biting my bottom lip. His hand holding my chin moves to my left hand while his other sits on my waist, the smell of him sends me in overdrive he smells of the woods, smoky something else like Dimitri.
He pushes me out sending me into a twirl before pulling me back to him, instead of my back being against his chest this time I’m facing him one hand still in his hand while the other landed on his strong chest, he places his mouth to my ear “Hello l’amour” his accent is Canadian with a sexy tone to it, I’m unsure of where but it sends shivers to places I only thought Dimitri could awaken. I bite my bottom lip looking up into his eyes I feel this … this connection to him “Hej där”(hello there) I whisper, if he is high up within our world he should know what I’ve said “du är den vackraste kvinnan jag någonsin sett”(you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen) I smile as we continue to dance “Who are you mon homme mystère?”(my mystery man) I say breathlessly just before he spins me out again, as he pulls me back in they change the music to a waltz our arms have now given us a distance between us and it took all my willpower not to pull him against me once again. Our eyes have locked not once a wavering to look anywhere else “Grayson” his name hits me I have to say it I need to feel his name in my mouth on my lips my tongue so I repeat his name “Grayson” I see him smirk as I say his name. We don’t say anything for a small period, the next song that plays is a slow dance he pulls me close to him our bodies intertwined, his hand on my lower back the other intertwined with my fingers our breath mingling our faces so close and it stays like this till the piece finishes, I remove my hand from his and run it down the side of his face and he mirrors me our lips getting closer “I..I need some air, if you’ll excuse me Grayson” I look at him disappointment on both of our faces, I pick up the front of my dress and walk off the dance floor to one of the balconies I push open the door and thank Odin that there is no one on this one, but a packet of cigarettes and a lighter like it was left there on purpose… I take one out and light it, I take the longest drag to calm my shaking hands and I stiffen as I hear the door open I smell the air and relax “Grayson” I don’t turn around, he walks over to me “A shot of vodka and a large glass of wine l’amour” I turn and look at him now smirking at his offerings “thank you” I take the vodka and down the hatch it goes, I then start to sip the wine “Your welcome, why have you been left on your own dancing with strange men?” he inquires, I continue to smirk “Strange men? You’re the only one I’ve been dancing with since I’ve been left alone, so are you someone I shouldn’t dance with?” I turn towards him flicking my finished cigarette out over the balcony it lands on someone’s head below “OUCH OUCH!!! Who did that?!” I giggle moving back from the edge I slightly trip “Oh s**t” but he catches me as I am falling back, holding me close, my hand on his chest and one arm around his neck with his arm around my waist and the other behind my neck he leans in catching my lips against his I moan deeply into the kiss I can feel his tongue just coaxing mine to come out and play, something happens between us I’m not sure what it is but it was something I had never experienced before a whole new level flooded from us, I can’t help myself as I slide my tongue out into his they wrestle against one another my body reacting to each and every movement my breath coming faster as I can feel between my legs I burn for him. My hand reaches up to touch his face caressing it slowly, we continue to kiss for what feels like eternity we slowly part we catch our breathes “I’m so sorry..” he tilts his at me “Why are you sorry l’amour?” he touches my face so tender looking in between my eyes searching for something....he must of found it, he catches my lips one last time just briefly and our noses rubbing against one another like we had been lovers for the longest of times, “I’m not l’amour” he says as he pulls away helping me to stand up right, he takes my hand and leads me back inside we take the stairs to the upper level of the ball room away from many eyes, he holds me close as we dance to a couple of slow pieces I let him take control letting him guide our bodies to have the most contact as possible, I had so many butterflies in my stomach I have one hand at the back of his neck and playing with the ends of his hair he leans in placing a kiss upon my lips I moan deeply into it feeling his touch against my bare skin, we move behind a curtain we smile in our kiss his lips kissing down my neck “Grayson” I whisper. He nibbles along my jaw moaning as he takes in my smell “l’amour you are divine” I put a finger under his chin to pull him up to me, our lips touch again my tongue slips into his mouth our tongues wrestle against one another. I slide my hand up his thigh coming to his very large hard c**k we both moan as I begin to rub him, he groans but he takes both my hands away from him and place the above my head his lips against my ear “l’amour I have to go before Dimitri see’s me….” I shake my head “but…I’m sorry for being quiet for so long…” he places a finger on my lips “hush l’amour I will come see you soon I promise, that doesn’t matter now love, and your birthday is coming up…” I sigh and nod “Je te vois bientôt amour” (see you soon love) in French, he leaves and I’m reeling in all sorts of motions… “f**k…” I wait for a few minutes before stepping out from behind the curtain, I make my way down the stairs slowly to see if I can find Grayson but instead I see Dimitri looking for me, he finally sees me as I make my way down the stairs he meets me at the last step, I put out my hand and Dimitri takes it. He leads me out onto the dance floor, he holds me close till he spins me out and brings me in then twirling me around. I finally go around greeting some potential clients I make small talk for about an hour, I then walk out of the ball room and into my room I lock the door behind me, I can sense something is off with me room someone is in here. I stay calm walking to my bedside table opening the draw I pull out my gun, slowly c*****g it as I flicked on my bedside lamp I had 6 males come at me I was able to shoot two in the head before one knocked me to the ground I shot one in the leg and just managed to shoot another in the foot then everything went black.
