- Synopsis
- MAD HOT BALLROOM Alexander, his eyes hot and blue, snaked his arm around Meagan's waist and dragged her to the dance floor. This was not the stately Nvengarian dance she'd learned. This dance was crazed, Alexander's arm rock-solid against her abdomen, his sword held out to his side. Whenever they passed another whirling couple, Alexander's and the man's swords met in a ringing clash. "You're mad," she shouted, and she started to laugh. "You are completely mad." He grinned, the wild and feral Nvengarian loose at last. It was as though without his medal-bedecked coat and sash of office, he could let free the being inside him. His face shone with perspiration, as did his muscled chest bared by the open V of his shirt. He looked like his barbarian ancestors, the gypsies and the nomads in tents under the stars who lived and loved with great passion. "I love you," she said beneath the stamping and shouting and clanging and clapping. "I love you, Alexander." Alexander jerked her close, and there in front of their five hundred guests, he scooped her to him and kissed her. His sword clanged Nikolai's, and the valet laughed out loud. Meagan joined the laughter, tasting the frenzy of Alexander's bruising kiss. A loud crash sounded even over the riot of dancing and shouting, and the two tall windows at the end of the ballroom broke and fell in sheets of shimmering glass. The night rain and wind tumbled in, along with five men carrying pistols cocked and ready. Many explicit descriptions of sex.
