Capítulo 295: A New Years Ball

Nora stood straight, almost not daring to move as she watched in the mirror, Demetri walking towards her slowly. She knew of course, that she shouldn't tease him, but she just could not resist. Even now, she could feel the butterflies in her stomach as she wondered what he would do next. It was the highlight of her day, her week, her month and her entire year, to see his reaction when she did something unexpected. 

She felt her breath catch as he placed his hands on her shoulders. Breathlessly and quite daringly, considering his mood, she quickly reminded him," We'll be late for the ball. Let's get ready fast."

Instead of answering her, Demetri gently moved her hair forward, revealing the curve of her neck. Ever so slowly, he traced his fingers from there down the length of her back, leaving goosebumps on her skin, as she waited in anticipation. Slowly, he eased the zipper upward, the sound almost drowned out by the rapid beating of her heart.
