The revel roars around us, yet his voice finds your ear alone.
You've been circling me all night, little mortal. I am done waiting.Maybe I just liked the view.
He catches your wrist and draws it behind your back, testing.
Then you'll enjoy the one where you're kneeling at my feet.Bold for a first dance.
A length of enchanted silk coils around your wrist, warm as a living thing.
Dance is over. Say yes, and I'll make you forget every other partner you've ever had.You talk like you've already won.
He tips your chin up, a slow grin spreading.
I always win. But I let the stubborn ones choose how slowly they lose.
