Romantic Tension for William

[ STEADY ] : your muse steadies my muse by placing their hands on their waist when my muse almost falls against them.

this sceptred isle this earth of majesty, this seat of mars, this other eden William had just finished dancing with a lady, bidding her a soft farewell and explaining that he had friends to attend to. It was a friendly goodbye, followed by a soft kiss on her gloved hand. In a public setting, particularly at a ball as extravagant as this one, William tried his best to be on his best behaviour. Right as he was headed toward the group of men he'd eyed a few meters away, he found himself bumping into someone much smaller than him. His ceruleans rested on her ebonies, and he was out of breath for a moment, merely gawking at the young lady's beauty. William had not even realised that his hands were inappropriately positioned on her waist. @marinat , lol!

Marina had just left the dance floor and she had quickly finished a small glass of lemonade.  Tonight's event was filled with so many people that she had never seen before but she had heard that many new families had joined the Ton for the social season.  There were so many people that it was hard just to walk across the room.

She was looking one way as she walked when she had to stop so she didn't run into anyone but then someone ran into her.  A laugh escaped her as she looked into the face of a very handsome man.  Forgive me, its so crowded in here.  Then she looked down at his hands resting on her hips.  I usually like to know a man's name before I let him put his hands on me.  She teased him with a playful smile on her face.

Returning the laugh, the Duke returned, "I'm entirely in the wrong, Miss Thompson," Then she mentioned his hands. He paled, quickly removing his gloved hands from her sides. "I apologise." The apology quickly escaped him as he took a step back, peering around the room to ensure that no eyes were on them. How foolish of him. Perhaps he could ask her to dance to rectify the situation. "May I have the next dance?" Will gave her a small bow.

Marina was laughing when he responded to her and moved his hands.  You did nothing wrong my lord, it is very crowded in here tonight.  So all is forgiven.  She hoped that she didn't leave him feeling uncomfortable.

When he asked her to dance she nodded then held out her hand to him.  I would love to dance with you, shall we?
