The Dance

last update Last Updated: 2022-01-12 17:34:12

At a certain George Ronald hotel.

A large, magnificent ballroom has been meticulously set up for what seem to be a significant and a high-class party. The chandelier dangling towards the ceiling provided little sparkles of light from in the room from one end to the other, giving the room a feeling of being under a bright starry night sky. Many round tables were dotted around the room, decorated tastefully with a gold and red motif of colors which represents wealth, prosperity and good fortune. 

This masquerade ball certainly was a display of wealth and prosperity, from the crystal Champaign glasses and silver and gold cutlery to the stunning paintings and decorations on the wall. But that wasn't what caught one's eyes! Inside the ballroom were group of people wearing cloths, jewelries and other accessories that worth millions of dollars. The women's ear rings, rings, and necklace and bracelet all together shone brighter than the light in the room. Anyone who caught a glimpse inside the room would Immediately know that this was a gathering of the most influential, rich and powerful people. And of course, this being a masquerade ball, each of every one of them wore a face mask covering some part of their faces. Either female or male. Adding more mystery to the already mysterious people inside the room. 

Walking inside with her hand on Scott's. this was the scene that Lucia was presented with, and her eyes were as wide as saucers and her jaw dropped in awe.

She had never seen so much extravagant in her life! The tables, the decorations, the people. Oh my God, that's why Daniella bought her cloth, shoes, and accessories. She definitely didn't want Lucia to get  Derek embarrassed at this essential party and Lucia was grateful that she asked Daniella to help dress her to night, if not, she had felt improper, not that she didn't already do so.

She knew that the rich do have parties, Daniella had one's told her about the party she once attended with her parents, Lucia only imagined how it would look like but now that she is now experiencing it, she was just so happy and speechless. 

Furthermore, she never could have imagined such luxurious affairs, she only thought such party were fictional. 

She snapped out of her awestruck daze when Scott guided her to wards the Champaign foundation. 

He took a glass and gave it to her before taking one for himself.

" Thank you" she said as she sipped her drink.

" For the nerve", he replied with a soft smile. 

She was about searching for the handsome creature with her eyes while seating when she felt a strong presence behind her, her skin tingled, and she immediately knew that she doesn't have to look for him anymore. A large, smooth hand landed on her shoulder as he leaned on her and whispered in her ears.

" May we dance?" his deep, sexy masculine voice sent shivers down her skin, and before she could react, Derek had already taken her drink from her and place it down, on the table. He took her hand and guided her to the dance floor, where other couples were also dancing.

He took one of her hand and smoothly placed it in his lower back and held the other hand in his hand. Furthermore, he then slipped his arm behind her and pulled her very close to him, leaving no space between their bodies. Lucia's brain had stopped functioning at that moment and all she could do was to follow his lead. 

She was glad that her grandfather had taught her how to dance back then when she was a teenage, but she never would have thought that she would use it in a night like this and with his kind of person. She never thought it could feel like this, intense magical and so much more. She wondered if the long hair princess she watched as a movie really felt like this the very first time she danced with her prince at that tower.

Her heart was beating so loudly, but surprisingly, she didn't feel tensed. She was dancing with him, so smoothly, following his lead, and she knew she shouldn't be amazed, but she was. He was just so good at this, the way he touched her, the way he led her, the timing of his every movement were all perfectly in time with the music. 

He was extremely grateful that even she could tell that his movement could only be formed from a constant training from a young age. Not only that, she was sure that it could be from a constant attendance with other noble people of a similar background at even like this. 

Now that Lucia had the opportunity to stay so close to him, she decided to study his face. 

His lips, his nose, his eyes, his jaw and every contour of his face were just perfect. Even though he was putting on a mask, Lucia could still see his grayish eyes, and she could never forget what his face looked like. 

His eyes were charming, she felt like if she ventured close enough, his eyes will pull her like quicksand where they would be no escape, and she felt like it was what have been happening to her right then. 

" Penny for your thought?" the man finally spoke, startling her from her reverie. 

Lucia somehow quickly regained her composure as she responded, "I didn't expect you would bring me to a party like this"

"Don't you like it?" 

" I didn't say that, but this is my first time of attending a party like this, so I am a little overwhelmed" she confessed, and he gave her a soft enchanting smile with his flashing white teeth. If only his eyes were not looking serious, he would have been more handsome.

"You find the party overwhelming but not your boss?" he taunted, seemingly quite amused before his mood shifted yet again.

" Tell me about yourself"

sounding serious. 

" I am the only child and I currently live with my grandparents" 

" Are you a student?"

surprisingly, he didn't ask about her parents, anyone she said that to will follow up the question that says

"what of your parents?"

But thank God he didn't ask because Lucia wouldn't have been in a good position to answer that.

"No, I graduated last year"

" What course?" 

" Music"

" What do you do now? Compose music?" 

" No, I work as children caretaker".

"I see... that's why you want to be my caretaker? You love taking care of people. I get it now. I'm I right?"

"No... I mean yes. it's the truth. You are right."

Lucia doesn't know why he was asking her those questions, and she couldn't pick any interest in that. 

"I already know your name. I heard that man call you Derek that night we met. So please what's your full name?"  

Blessed assurance

  • My Alpha Derek   Refuse me if you can!

    It appeared that Derek had forgotten about the prophecy. He was also a human and his likely to forget things. A call came in and it was Daniella. On the phone…“Hello, Lucia. I can't believe I just experienced orgasm. He is so good at It, perfect! I just…” she paused, wondering if Lucia really picked the call because she hadn't heard Lucia's voice at all since she started talking. The innocent girl who couldn't understand what she meant by orgasm remained mute and was embarrassed that she had no knowledge of what her friend was talking about. “Hello… Lucia, are you There?” “Yes, dear, I Am. What were you saying.” “Ok… like I was saying, he is so good at It, I just couldn't believe I experienced orgasm for the first time and it's feels good!” “What's orgasm?” “Oh no! Not again.

  • My Alpha Derek   What A Perfect Godlike

    That moment Daniella told her about was now! She was prepared. She knew what was about to happen. The bedroom was enormous, decorated in a masculine color of gray and black, it was dimly lit-mode lightening and Lucia found herself standing a few feet away from the large king-sized bed. Lucia knew what could happen immediately they entered this suit, she wasn’t going to lie to herself. Deep Within her, she still wished this man would be like the male lead she had read in one of her best romantic novels. A gentle man, sweet loving and respectful, a man who wouldn’t do things without love for his partner.However, she knew right from the start that he was not that kind of man. He clearly showed her and even told her that day that they met, that he doesn't do love and never would. In fact, he only wanted a girlfriend for company or for his sexual satisfactions, nothing more. He clarified it for her that this was what she could expect, and he warned her, not on

  • My Alpha Derek   His Adam's Apple Couldn't Help it When He saw her...

    As Lucia was busy thinking on how high his class might be, the man on the bed continued to survey her, imagining how she would taste. This time, his gaze felt like a black water fall that gently caressed itself down to Lucia's neck, along her collar bone, down the valley of her cleavage and just stopped above her tiny waist.And finally the young man opened his mouth to speak. “Undress and come show me what you can do." He commanded, his voice wasn’t harsh nor cold, but he sounded so Authoritative as he uttered those single words like he was used to giving orders and expect it to be done without any questions.Lucia was so shocked, so shocked that she fell into a daze. She really knew what was going to happen immediately she entered this suit,, but she never expected him to ask her to strip all by herself. If he wanted intimacy, weren't they supposing to kiss each other and undress each other after they must have been lost in each other’

  • My Alpha Derek   Touch Your Self!

    The man was completely stunned, his jaw fell from his astonishment, he just could not believe that she actually did that! The face that was just indecipherable just a moment ago, just expressed an emotion that Lucia didn’t expect. It was very obvious that he found what she did utterly shocking.His expression immediately made Lucia know that what she just did was not what she was supposed to do with that thing,, and she hastily spat it out of her mouth into her palm.She was panicking a little and blushing even harder. She bit her down lips and her eyes wandered around as she tried to compose herself." You… you have never seen this thing before in your life?”The man asked, as Lucia immediately shook her head. She heard the man let out quite a sigh as his face returned to the normal way it used to be. Unreadable as usual." Come over here”he commanded and Lucia meekly walked towards the yo

He inhaled sharply, his eyes darkening.“Miss Lucia, don’t test my patience”" Huh? I am just doing the things you ask me to do!”They stared at each other. The man could now see that this girl seemed to be clueless about all this,, but he wanted to avoid believing.She was 22 years old, not some 16 or 17 years old high school student! He found it unbelievable that a 22 years old woman like her seemed utterly clueless and ignorant about sex. If she told him that she had never pleasured herself or use any sex toys, he might be able to believe that, but there was no way she hadn’t read, watch or even heard about this in her 22 years of existence! Moreover, she was the one who bravely went through with this.Unless…. Was she trying to

  • My Alpha Derek   Can't Believe This!

    His hazy mind was instantly cleared from his animalistic desires." You… he could not say anything else, he didn’t know what to say to her. “ You are still a virgin?”He asked, a clear disbelieve evidence was obvious in his tone.He knew it, at the back of his mind, he knew she could still be a virgin. He avoided looking at her face once he started touching her because he felt he was doing a wrong thing, but he ignored the feeling and convince himself that he was wrong because of how she responded to his touch. The way her body moved, the way she moaned and the way he felt by just touching her, distracted him so much that he chose to believe this signs instead.When the girl nodded, his black pupils narrowed and a fleeting emotion flash in them,, but he blinked, and they returned to normal, as if it was an illusion.He breathed deeply as he closed his eyes, looking as though he was counting 1 to 10.

  • My Alpha Derek   Heart In Chaos

    “Lucia…” he uttered her name. The lust in his eyes was completely gone and his eyes as still water again.His eyes looked at her with a seemingly steely decision, a decision to send this little girl away, to send her far away from himself as possible.Since the first time he saw her, he sensed that she was probably a nice, gentle and good girl. She just gave up such a vibe. He just noticed it in the way she spoke, and her mannerism from her interaction that she possibly lived a sheltered life. He would even have a bet that she was raised to have the good values and grew up to be a decent and a loving person.Furthermore, he could just tell because this girl’s eyes were so pure that he could see right through it into her soul. Unlike this, her eyes spoke of life, they weren’t dead, and it was as if they weren’t able to hide any secret at all. His first impression on her was that she was like an untouched river, clear and pur

Huh? He leaned in on her and cupped her small face again. “Lucia, are you sure about this 1 month? Are you sure you don't want to start with small steps like a day or many a week first??? You can't be my caregiver,, and I'm certain about that. You can't handle me.” The crocked and playful smile he that he showed her the night they first met, was now carved on his face.“I am sure”, Lucia, didn't hesitate.

    Now that she woke up and realized that she was in a car, her head throbbed in pain, her vision was blurry and her mouth was dry.

Why didn't you answer your call since I was calling? You really got me scared”. Daniella immediately rattled her question like a mother who just spoke to her child after a long while. But to her surprise, it wasn't Lucia that responded.Instantly, Daniella became more scared and concluded that something bad had happened to her friend. If not, a random guy won't just pick up Lucia's call just like that. Her brain knocked as all this thought goes through her head.

    Back in the alley, Daniella stood there pounting as the three muscular men groaned in pain, crawling like a disabled man.Daniella clapped her hands together as if she was trying to remove the dirt from her arms. The anger in her eyes slowly dissipated, and she looked calm. The wild tigress had slowly returned to a bratty young lady.Scott who was still there in the shadows, leaning on the wall smiked wildly. He just felt like clapping and praising her,, but he didn't want her to notice his presence, so he remained quiet.The girl then started to move, she stretched her arms am cracked her neck as she started walking away.Scott's head snapped towards where she was a moment ago and to his surprise, she was no longer there.

Where the hell could she be?Scott quickly ran to the spot where he last saw

  • My Alpha Derek   Lucia's Saviour

    Argh!! Let go off me!!! Help me Derek!!! Lucia didn't know why she had to mention that man's name when it should have been Daniella's. She was calling a man who rejected her and probably thinks she won't see him again. Why would she call out for a man who she knew wouldn't hear her? Daniella!!! Help me!!! Lucia screamed as she couldn't control the tears from pouring out from her eyes. The man reacted immediately and was about trying to cover her mouth, preventing her to attract attention when he heard a bang behind him. The man turned around and was already prepared to yell at whoever distracted him from this moment, but his words were tucked on his throat, they were unable to come out. His eyes nearly bulged out from it socket because the locked cubicle door was no longer there. It looked as if the door was ripped off from it hinges and thrown away to the other side of the bathroom. Here comes the Demon! “W… Who…” before he coul

    Taking advantage of her worry, the CEO guy stood up and offered his hand to her. “Come, I will help you look for her, okay?” The man said, and Lucia looked at him with some hesitation, but eventually, her worry about Daniella won the battle.“Okay” she said and stood up without accepting his hands.“Follow me” he gave out a wicked smile, without Lucia noticing.“Okay” she said. Her eyes were scanning the faces in the crowd, so she didn't see the glint in his eyes as he led her to the female restroom.Lucia's worry over her friend sobered her up a little, and when she saw the restroom, she didn't hesitate to go in to see if she could see her friend Daniella.The female restroom was dimly lit, but Lucia did not worry about all that, and immediately called out. “ Daniella?
