“Prove it,” she replied, unable to keep the grin off her face as he led her out onto the floor. She knew full well that he could teach her, but she liked throwing challenges at him, liked seeing the way it spurred him into action. Watching him was incredible, but she couldn't wait to be dancing herself. She knew this wasn't going to be as easy as the waltz or even the rumba, but she so rarely got the chance to actually challenge herself. It made her feel almost giddy.

He told her to watch his feet, and she did so, recognizing the movements and committing them to memory. The next words surprised her slightly, as she'd completely forgotten about dinner, but now wasn't the time to worry about it. “I'd be disappointed if I didn't work up a sweat. I want to learn this correctly,” she said firmly, moving her feet in an attempt to imitate the steps he'd demonstrated. The first time it wasn't quite right, but she tried again and again, and gradually it started to feel a little more natural.

She moved with him as he took her hand and demonstrated the steps again, eyes fixed on his feet again. Her mind was completely focused on learning the moves, until his muttered words sent another little shiver down her spine. He couldn't possibly mean... She felt the blush creeping up her cheeks again. She already knew he was a bit of a flirt, but if he was going to tease her she didn't want her reaction to always be blushing and embarrassment. There was no reason to treat the comment any differently than their usual banter. "That isn't the sort of comment that's going to earn naughty boys presents," she chastised, throwing him a smirk before she looked down at her feet and repeated the steps again.
