It hurts, and he lets that show. He won't protect her from how much he loves her. "What I've done, I did for you," he reminds her. "And for us. Admit it; your love for me would have faded and turned as weak as I was, if I'd stayed human." He pushes her into the dance as the music changes, the rhythm slow and intimate. He knows the steps, leads her effortlessly. "Part of you craves the danger. The power."

There's a flash of white teeth from him before he flicks his fringe out of his eyes with an easy toss of his head. "One dance," he agrees. "Unless you want more."
