chapter 139

Lucy's brain stopped working for several moments when it finally recovered as she felt the heat of his fingers tingling her waist. As if molten lava scorched on her skin, she felt hotter and hotter.She took a sharp breath. A red tinge of blush flushed her cheeks.My first dance with Boss!"E-En…"Eric nodded, satisfied."But I don't know how to dance…" she murmured.Eric leaned and whispered near her ear. His breath softly blowing on her earlobe made her shudder. "I will teach you. Follow my steps."She blushed.The room was set in the perfect atmosphere as the lamps dimly lit it. A gentle breeze brushed past them and the romantic music playing in the air made their hearts beat faster.Eeic elegantly turned his body, swirling Lucy with him. Their gazes were locked onto each other. He took a step back and smoothly guided her to take a step back with him. He did the same with another foot. Lucy watched him, feeling mesmerized.He was perfectly in tune and in sync with the music. His movements were gentle and fluid but firm at the same time.So beautiful…She felt as if his dance was a piece of art that she could gaze at forever. The warmth between them steadily grew and so did her rapid heartbeat. Every moment and every step seemed to be carefully planned in advance.Even if she didn't know how to dance, she was still moving in perfect rhythm as him.But she knew it was Eric's doing. He made her feel as if she was floating in the air. Light and effortless. Nothing felt forced. Their breathing evenly matched.Eric let go of her waist and squeezed her hand as he twirled her in a loop. But he quickly caught her again as if that one moment of letting her go seemed like a whole century to him. This time, he clutched her waist tighter than before as if he couldn't bear any distance between them.Eric asked, "Like it?"By that time, Lucy's heart was in a jumbled mess. "H-Huh?"Eric slightly squinted his eyes. He bumped his forehead on hers. "Do you like our dance?"His heat spreading on her forehead made her furiously blush. "Boss you dance so beautifully…I have no words.""It's because you are with me," he sincerely said, striking an arrow through her heart. "This is my first dance."Lucy was stunned. "You mean you never danced with another woman before?""I don't touch other women," he calmly said.She felt as if she would faint with such overload of sweetness. "T-then what about me?"Eric narrowed his eyes. He tilted his head and moved a little down.His nose slightly bumped against hers.He parted his lips that ever so faintly touched her lips. "You are different."
