I gasped once more as I was meat with an intense and deep gaze..
"Just wanted to make sure that you enjoyed the drink". He said with a smirk, his sharp fangs peeking out a little,i turned crimson from his remarks.. This man's aura was dangerous i needed to stay far awqy from him..
************
" thankyou for warning me, kind sir i'll take my leave now..nyla replied as she began walking away from him but he intercepted her grabbing her hand....
"Dance with me" he whispered into her ear to which she froze..
"I am slightly indisposed". She replied trying to wriggle her hands out from his grip but failed,she didn't want to bring undue attention to herself...
" I won't let go of your hands if you don't dance with me"he replied with a piercing gaze,eyes full of promises..it was better to get this done with..."fine, let's dance".nyla remarhed as her into the dance floor.....
******
Nyla couldn't help but notice the immediate change of music as they stepped into the dance floor,the melody was torturously slow which heightened her senses she couldn't help but notice his masculine scent and his 7.5inch height... His red lips was giving and his eyes a different shade of red..she broke out from her thoughts when his Hans tightened unusually on he waist which brought out a gasp from her..
"Name??".. He spoke
" what'??
"May I know your name milady"... He asked
" Nyla".she replied considering she wouldn't be seeing him again..
As they waltzed into the room a second time..her heart almost popped out of her chest as he brought them close to each other and whispered: "you smell nice, nyla"... His voice sent a shiver that ran through her body..with a blush she just gave him a nod.nyla couldn't help but pray for the dance to end,this pair of deep red eyes was seriously doing uncharted things to her heart.**
When the dance was almost done he told her his name:
" I'm zaden,and I'm in love with you,you are going to be my bride".he spoke bluntly..what audacity this man had.. His remark made her eyes widen a little and her breathe hitched..
"Those are big words for someone you just met sir".. He gave her a dark smile as the music ended..
" see you soon,Nyla".he said as he bowed and turned around.. Sending a shiver to her spine as he said her name...
*******
Nyla breathed out a smile of relief, grateful that this has all ended....she scanned the ballroom and found her sister conversing merrily with Travis,she made her way to them..
"Sorry to Interrupted you duke but we have to leave now". Nyla spoke up as she nervously looked around the crowd, eyes in search of a certain Red eyed man...
" well it's a pity our conversation had to be cut short lady Zendaya.. But I hope to meet you soon " duke travis said as he kissed the hands of zendaya..
"It would be a pleasure Travis" zendaya said as we both curtsied and left ..
"Are you alright sis" zen asked nyla ad they both entered the carriage that brought them..
"Yes, why do you ask??"
"you seem quite shaken, did something happen at the soiree"?? She asked..
" No I just seem a little tired"nyla covered up...
"Well I saw you dance with a masked man,do you happen to know him". Zen further inquired out of curiosity..
" I Don't know him,but I'm so tired.."she said trying to shift the topic...she thanked her stars that she wouldn't meet him again.. But she really didn't think that this would all end just like that did she????
