Chapter 514
Chapter 0514 With that reassurance, I nodded at-Elva.
"Enjoy yourself," I said.
She laughed and immediately began to I chase after the other children as she swam away.
The loud excitement of her laughter warmed me from the inside out. It was so rare to hear my little girl having so much fun. I half wanted to stay here forever.
Nicholas moved closer to me. When he was close like this, even in such an otherworldly place, it was easy to forget the rest of the world existed.
So easy was it to forget the many, many merfolk in the room, and the other candidates, and the cameras that were showcasing every moment of this event to the people back home.

[ knew we should be doing other things,
like introducing ourselves to more of the roval family or making motions of gratitude.
Yet when Nicholas moved his arm slowly around my waist, teasing me with the gentlest touch, all other thoughts were washed away, and I could focus only on him. Only on this moment.
"Dance with me," he said.
And who was I but to agree? He took my hand in mine and slowly we descended farther into the massive banquet hall. Down below, a series of musicians played strange instruments I had never seen before, many made of shells or coral and fish bones.
The music was eerie but familiar. Though the sounds themselves individually were like nothing I had ever heard before, when put together, it formed music I recognized, albeit with a haunting tone.
Some of the other merfolk had already taken to their form of dancing. They swam in tight circles around each other, \ holding each other closely. It was very...
sensual, and fluid.
Nicholas led me toward the center of the dancing group, and then held me as the other merfolk held their partners, with one arm around my waist, and the other draped upward across my back.
This pressed our chests hard together.
Through our thin swimsuits, I could feel hardness of each of his muscles. He likewise should have been able to feel my curves.
[ wasn't a terribly good swimmer, but I followed Nicholas's lead.
We swam in tight circles around each other, as the other merfolk did, moving our bodies to the beat of the music.
Gravity had little meaning here. At one point, I was cel tain we were upside down But that mattered little when I looked
into Nicholas's eyes and saw the heat mirrored there, so like what was growing inside of me.
Moving like this... Touching like this...
I wanted him.
Now wasn't the time to be fooling around. We were here to build relations between merfolk and werewolf. But I could not help my body from reacting to the feel of the water and Nicholas's hard body against mine.
"Nick..." I whispered.

His face was so close to mine. His
lips near mine. If I dared, I could lean in and kiss him right here, right now. It was only the strangeness of the environment that kept me from totally losing myself. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
And that strangeness reminded me of the others nearby. And of the cameras.
Nick," I said again, but meant it different this time, like a warning We
couldn't keep dancing like this, moving like this...
The cameras will see. Everyone will know...

"piper," said Ronan, approaching us.
The heat inside me,
e dimmed at once.
"How good of you to start dancing so early. The content is on

That means we can share our moment next, surely?" I looked at Nicholas with
pleading eyes.
I didn't want to dance the way I had just done with him, with anyone else!
