“Do you want to dance?”
“Yes,” I answered too quickly.
He grinned at me, pulling me with him over into the heart of the music. Then it occurred to me that I had no idea how to dance. I would purposefully step on the foot of every tutor at the castle. Eventually Varric stopped ordering the lessons. Unfortunately, that meant that I never learned how to dance properly.
What if I stepped on his foot?
Or tripped?
Or—
“Come here,” he rumbled, winding an arm around my waist and pulling me into his chest. I gasped when he spun me around.
I lost my balance, face burning up completely when I fell into his arms like a dead fish.
He chuckled, and I was so relieved he found my clumsiness endearing and not embarrassing. The melody rang through my bones, and I steadied myself. I threw my arms around his neck and tried to sway along with the music.
Dear Gods, I have absolutely no rhythm.
“You’re so charming,” he murmured. “But we’re not two virgins at our first festival.” He gripped my hips with either hand, pulling me so close that I could feel his breath against my lips.
My mouth watered, and my mind turned fuzzy for a moment before I responded, “This is my first festival, and I’ve never danced without the intention of stomping on my partner’s foot.”
He laughed. “That sounds like something you’d do.”
