His sinuous form curled around her, arms curling around her waist to pull her to his chest while she shook with her tantalizing gasps and silent sobs. A smile twisted his lips as he caught a lock of her glossy ebony hair around a long and slender pale finger, his blue eyes fervent as they locked with innocent brown pools. One hand slid further around her waist as he held her closer still, inhaling her scent, tangling his fingers in her hair. There was no chance, none at all for her. She was whimpering beautifully with terror, sending his heart all a fluster. The nerve.

"Please, let me go." Her sweet soprano voice was flat as she pleaded but oh so deliciously saturated with her fear. A cruel smile curled his narrow lips as he soaked up the atmosphere. Feverish eyes, hot enough to burn the world to ash, locked on her once more and a cold sweat broke above her lily's brow. There was an iron grit stained with a quivering madness in those sky blue eyes, a cold detachment mingling with fiery passion. Amusement flickered across his face as he played his tongue across his teeth in thought.

"Let you go?" He played with the words lightly, rolling them teasingly on his tongue. Her eyes widened as hope danced feebly with despair in them. "You'd like that, wouldn't you Love?" Her mouth opens slowly, despair crawling over her face and he releases her hair from his fist, pressing his fingers delicately but firmly against her rosebud lips. "You know I can't do that. Such a sweet little lamb, you're my treasure. You're my everything." Mock kindness played over his face as an affectionate smile touched his face but never his eyes. He paused as if thought, then shook his head slowly. His face went blank, amusement and affection wiped clean from it. Pent up emotion blazed in his eyes, and he shrugs his shoulder to feel his promise ring. A quivering knife slathered in poison slipped up his sleeve. "Besides," he drawled idly, "if you leave me, I'll have to kill you." Another walk in the park, nothing serious dear.He raised his hand to tenderly caress her blush stained cheek, raised it to smooth her hair from her face. He watched with pleasure as tears well up in her eyes. "Neither of us would like you to die, oh believe me, but could it truly be such a sin to eternalize a beauty so?" He smirked coolly, then slid his hand down her shoulder to catch a dainty wrist firmly in his had as he turned. Long legs carried him away from the corner, dragging her along with him.

With his attention no longer on her the scenario jumped into a blurred reality. The music was louder then, her heels clacking silently against the dance floor as he weaved his way through the silhouetted crowd. The lights flashed rhythmically along with the dance music, but his ears were deaf to the tune.
