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 nothing more. | was once again in the middle of a dance lesson, and
growled silently as | once again stepped on Stewart's foot.
Lewis had been distant, he'd been there wherever | went, but he kept at an arms length and hardly even spoke
to me. | knew I'd fucked up, | knew it as soon as his eyes gravitated towards our conjoined hands, | will never
make the smistake again.
“What is so difficult about this? Josh learnt this at the age of 5!” She quickly hitupside the head and made
my hair fly out of its tightly bound updo. | felt the clips pull the smallest strands of my hair causingto wince.
Feeling my hair pull hurt more than the queens actually hand. “Maybe it is your partner?”
Yeah, maybe it was. | was trying my best to keep up with him, but the idiot butler seemed to be making it
difficult forto do so. The thought had never occurred tothat the fault may not actually lie with myself.
“Your Grace, | assure | am doing everything in my power to...” The queen rather quickly cut of the sniveling man
and turned to him, her entire posture seemed to change when she reverted her gaze fromonto anyone else.
“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 the corner of the large hall watching my disastrous failure.
“Lewis, you know this dance...” | watched as the betas eyes widened the smallest of fractions before he feign
innocence. Yeah right, he was avoidinglike the plague and | had every single intention of figuring out why
could bear it if he hit me. | considered him a Friend after all. “Please, cand attempt to tutor her.”
The queen wavedoff, as if she had all but given up trying. | admit, | didn’t have a single ounce of rhythm in
my body, which sucked when all | was trying to do was grasp the order of the steps, without counting out loud,
or looking at my feet while | performed.
“Your grace, | really don’t think that is a wise choice... I...” It was officially validated, he really didn’t want to be
near me. | knew, however, that the queen wouldn't give him the choice.
“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 her hand out to Stewart expectantly, which he did indeed hold his arm
out for, and preceded to escort her to a regal looking seat at the end of the hall.
Lewis stepped purposefully over tobefore sighing and holding his own arms out in order to assour
dancing position. It was almost as if he would rather be doing anything else other than babysit me. Not that |

“Please, just try and concentrate!” | didn’t meet his gaze, instead | nodded and hesitantly grasped his hand in
my own. | heard him suck in a breath and shake his head in my peripheral vision but paid it no mind as | 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 cdown onto his own, and once again the
music stopped. He sighed and gripped my hand tighter. “Stop focusing so much on the steps and simply try to
match my rhythm.” Easier said then done but still | nodded my head while not allowing my eyes to leave my
feet. “Again...” the music once again started and he bagan to count. “1,2,3... 1,2,3... That's it...” Wait, was |
beginning to get it. My feet moved stiffly but they moved in tto the music and on beat with Lewis's
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 becslightly stiffer than it was previously. His grip on
my hand tightened ever so slightly and my movements becslightly more fluent.
| admit, it was easier to dance when | wasn’t looking at my feet, | could somewhat anticipate his next move, and
was able to counter it when | needed too. When his left foot moved my right foot did, and so forth.
We continued to simply step on beat until Lewis did something unexpected, he spununder 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...” | did so and he too moved with sent us both now stepping sort of in a large circle.
“Do it again...” | did and we continued to move to each other’s rhythm. By the tthe music was coming to an
end we were close, out chests practically pressed up against each other, right before the final note sounded and
Lewis dipped my body lowly, his eyes never leaving mine.
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 intimate moment was cut short by the queens words.
