Seeing Brianna’s pure smile, Serena’s expression softened, and a gentle curve appeared on her lips unconsciously.
It added a touch of warmth to her usually cool and stunning face.
A crisp, pine-like scent, as ethereal as mist, wafted around her.
Nicholas leaned in slightly closer to her.
His warm breath brushed against Serena’s ear, carrying his deep, mellow voice. “I was wondering if I might be so fortunate as to have this dance with Ghost Doctor?”
A hand was extended in front of Serena.
It was long and elegant, with well-defined knuckles that seemed to glow under the soft, brilliant lights.
It was almost tempting.
Serena tilted her head up slightly, her eyes fixed on the devastatingly handsome face so close to hers.
She met his alluring eyes, which were brimming with a smile. They seemed to hold the reflection of a rippling spring pond, so intimate and suggestive that the gaze alone could make one blush.
He was looking at her with such intense focus…
Serena’s crimson lips curved slightly.
She raised her hand and placed it in his broad palm. “I suppose I can indulge you.”
Nicholas’s smile deepened, his eyes flashing with a dangerous, roguish charm. “Then I am honored, Ghost Doctor.”
He closed his fingers around hers.
With a gesture that was both incredibly reverent and sincere, he led the girl onto the dance floor.
The warmth of his touch instantly enveloped Serena.
Serena’s long, dark lashes trembled, and she followed his lead onto the floor.
The romantic, soft lights shimmered, and the music flowed.
The man held one of her hands while his other rested on her slender waist.
His palm was scorching.
The proximity was so close that their breaths seemed to intertwine.
“You seem… a little nervous?”
Nicholas lowered his gaze slightly, a dazzling smile on his bewitching face.
His large hand settled on her waist once more, his grip tightening slightly.
Their chests were pressed together.
Nicholas’s voice was deep and husky, his laughter magnetic. His mesmerizing, alluring eyes looked down at her. “I think… this distance is more suitable for sharing secrets.”
His voice was very low.
As he stared down at her, a torrent of intense emotion seemed to swirl in the depths of his eyes. “Don’t you want to share some… secrets with me, Serena?”
The deliberately seductive tone and his warm breath were utterly intoxicating.
Serena glared at him with her clear, bright eyes. “Behave yourself!”
Nicholas let out a muffled laugh, a slight vibration rumbling through his chest.
The arm around her waist tightened once more.
It was as if he was trying to pull her entire being into his embrace. “But… when it comes to you, I’ve never been able to behave.”
“Nicholas!” Serena’s ears burned so hotly they seemed to have turned a faint shade of pink.
