CHAPTER 72

Dylan POV

Another day, another lesson. These stupid royalty lessons we’re becoming an absolute nightmare and simply consisted of a berating from her grace and the middle of a dance lesson, and growled silently as I once again stepped on Stewart’s foot.

Lewis had been distant, he’d been there wherever I went, but he kept at an arms length and hardly even spoke to me. I knew I’d fucked up, I knew it as soon as his eyes gravitated towards our conjoined hands, I will never ma

“What is so difficult about this? Josh learnt this at the age of 5!” She quickly hit me upside the head and made my hair fly out of its tightly bound updo. I f the smallest strands of my hair causing me to wince. Feeling my hair pull hurt more than the queens actually hand. “Maybe it is your partner?”

Yeah, maybe it was. I was trying my best to keep up with him, but the idiot butler seemed to be making it difficult for me to do so. The thought had never

“Your Grace, I assure I am doing everything in my power to…” The queen rather quickly cut of the sniveling man and turned to him, her entire posture se

“I am aware Stewart. Do not trouble yourself.” She quickly sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose before turning to the royal beta who was stood in th

“Lewis, you know this dance…” I watched as the betas eyes widened the smallest of fractions before he feign innocence. Yeah right, he was avoiding me like the plague and I had every single intention of figuring out why me touching him was such Friend after all. “Please, come and attempt to tutor her.”

The queen waved me off, as if she had all but given up trying. I admit, I didn’t have a single ounce of rhythm in my body, which sucked when all I was try

“Your grace, I really don’t think that is a wise choice… I…” It was officially validated, he really didn’t want to be near me. I knew, however, that the queen

“Nonsense, you have been tasked with watching over the girl, have you not? Let’s see if you can drill something into that head of hers.” She quickly held

Lewis stepped purposefully over to me before sighing and holding his own arms out in order to assume our dancing position. It was almost as if he would rather be doing anything else other than babysit me. Not that I

blame him.

“Please, just try and concentrate!” I didn’t meet his gaze, instead I nodded and hesitantly grasped his hand in my own. I heard him suck in a breath and shake his head in my peripheral vision but paid it no mind as I began to study my feet.

The music once again began to whirl and with it Lewis began to step our bodies around the hall.

“1,2,3… 1,2,3…” He counted over and over again, until my foot came down onto his own, and once again the music stopped. He sighed and gripped my NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

movements.

“Stop looking at your feet, always look your dance partner in the eye.” My gaze moved slowly up to meet his and the room stopped, but our feet did not.

His pupils dilated at the sight of mine, and his posture became slightly stiffer than it was previously. His grip on my hand tightened ever so slightly and my movements became slightly more fluent.

I admit, it was easier to dance when I wasn’t looking at my feet, I could somewhat anticipate his next move, and was able to counter it when I needed too. When h

We continued to simply step on beat until Lewis did something unexpected, he spun me under his arm and caught my waist again after it, we were now pressed hip to hip and we continued to dance.

“Turn your left foot out a bit…” I did so and he too moved with sent us both now stepping sort of in a large circle. “Do it again…” I did and we continued to move to each other’s

We stayed like that for what felt like a lifetime, it was in hindsight, most likely a few seconds, just staring into each other orbs. Until our strange little intim

“That… actually wasn’t terrible.” She nodded her head at Lewis then turned to me. “Your foot placement needs improving, your elbow should be raised s the music again!”

He nodded his head, because let’s face it, he had about as much choice as I did in the situation and once again we began to twirl around the floor. This t stopping me from learning the steps, because if I kept practicing with Lewis then I’d be dancing rings around the royals.
