waltzing with a demon prince at hell's eternal midnight ball | waltz loop 6hrs
the sweep of your skirts. the strong arm around your waist. the dark eyes of your companion.
you do not know for how long you have been dancing, and yet you are not tired. trapped forever in this moment of delicious anticipation as your heart soars in time with the music, the two of you gliding across the floor in a perfect waltz. your mind catches on thoughts of what comes next. the long slide of satin as your gloves are pulled free. calloused fingers on your bare flesh. but you have been dancing forever. will that future never come to pass?
"is it not," his lips brush against the shell of your ear, "an exquisite torture?"
