Karla Kuznetsov's POV
I was gripping his hand as I was putting the other one on his shoulder. Scott was looking into my eyes as he was stepping closer before his dancing feet took over. I smirked at him as I was arching my eyebrow at him.
"I thought you would never be a dancer, Mr. McBaran," I said before Scott was smirking at me and the music was taking over us right now.
"I have some skills up my sleeves," he replied as I was chuckling.
"I wanted to know what it is. For one thing, I know you're a beast when between the sheets," I whispered to him before I was sliding my calf over his and we were dancing on the dance floor. I was looking at him before he was gripping my waist and we were twirling around.
I don't care what others might say or think about our sensual dancing. This is our moment together, which was viewed by all the people that were attending this ball.
"I see that you are very excited when it comes to dancing, love," Scott commented as I was smirking before I was twirling out and then back into his arms. I was moving my hips side to side before we were facing each other again.
"I know that you are a ballerina but this tango was something more than that," Scott said as I smiled at him before putting my mouth next to his ear.
"You only think I can dance ballet? How cute," I said before we were dancing again and this time the music was getting intense. My high heels served the purpose to dance here tonight as I was swirling my feet around before Scott was lifting me and we were being ooh and ahh by the crowd.
I think they never saw this kind of performance before.
I was smiling all the way that I was dancing before we ended it with a blast and I was being dipped by Scott who was kissing my throat before the crowd was clapping and cheering for us. I blushed before I was looking at the guest of honor for tonight.
"Oh my God! That was fantastic?! I never saw anything like that before. What a magnificent dance!" Noah Vork said as I was nodding at him.
"Well, it was the least that we can do," I replied before he laughed. Scott was smiling at me as I was looking at him.
"Okay, I think I might get some refreshments. I hope you are making connections, Scott?" Noah asked Scott before he was nodding at Noah. Noah excused himself then as we were making our way out of the dance floor.
"Where are we going?" I asked Scott as he was pushing me toward a corner. I don't know what was going on but I saw a couple that was standing there.
No, it cannot be!
I know that my sister was a master of disguise but Conall…not so much. He was taking this character way too seriously that I wanted to laugh but I have to keep it cool.
"Karla, love, I want you to meet Duke and Duchess of—"
"Oh, it so nice to finally see you, Scotty," Conall said as he was trying to sound like someone else. He does look different than his brown hair. It was red now, like auburn red.
"And who is this?" My sister said as I was trying to not roll my eyes at them. Seriously, if they think they can fool me for one bit, I—
"Now, this is my…" Scott replied before I was turning to look at him. I was waiting for what he would introduce me as right now to my sister and brother in law.
"Fiancée," he finished as I was blinking at him. Did he just…I think he did. I smiled before I was turning to regard my sister and my brother in law that was failing at this disguising oneself.
"Nice to meet you all," I said before I was looking at Conall and Kat. I think Kat knows that this is a failing mission right now.
"Okay, you know what. I know that you caught us. Just tell us the truth," Kat said before I was smiling at Conall who was surprised to see that I figured them out.
"I think you're failing at this, sister. Say, I wonder what dad will say after this?" I joked before Kat was glaring at me.
"Not funny,"
"Okay, whatever it was. You guys know each other now. Can we just get this over with so that we can start making plans?" Scott asked when I turned to look at him before I was looking at my sister and Conall.
"Plan? What plan?" I asked him as I was looking at them. They were scratching their heads before Scott was clearing his throat right now.
"Well, it was about the bomb and—"
"And? What has happened after the bomb?" I asked Scott before he was looking at me before he was staring at my sister and his best friend.
"Well, when I was on the way to see you perform ballet—"
"Wait, you start to dance ballet again? That's so great! I know you were the best—"
"Shut up, Katrina,"
"I was being tailed by two SUVs and I think it was from your father's followers," Scott said as I was glaring at him.
"And you're telling this because…"
"Because he told me that he has The Book of Time Bloodline. I swear to God that Edmond was being reckless with this. And then he gave it to Lucas and then he gave it to Scott. I should have killed him right now," Conall said before Scott scoffed.
"Wait in line, mate. I have to skin him first for spilling some tea to Addington,"
"Woah, what's with all of this skinning me and all?" Someone interrupted us when I was turning to see the same agent that was interviewing me in the hospital. I was shocked to see that he was with a woman.
A stunning blond with blue eyes.
Then, I saw another couple that was coming here. That man was black hair and stunning silver eyes while the woman was brown hair and brown eyes. They were perfect for each other as I was looking at them.
"Well, it's nice of you to finally join the party, Lucas. I wonder why you took so long?" Edmond asked Lucas as Lucas was smacking his friend at the back of his head. Edmond laughed before Lucas was looking at Conall.
"What happened to your hair, Reid?"
"No comment," Conall replied before we were all talking in a small group. It was nice to see that everyone was here and I know that I was a part of them.
That made me feel like I was being wanted and I loved it.
I was smiling before I turned to see that Scott was looking at me. He smiled at me before I was blushing. Okay, maybe he was staring at me for quite some time now as I was looking around the group. I wondered why all of them are here.
"Okay, so the order of business, we have our tails being chased by someone's goons that were obsessing over the time travel book that we have in our hands. Scott, where is that book now?" Conall asked my 'fiancé'. I think I liked that as well.
"Well, the funny thing is that—"
"Don't tell me you left it at the hotel room that you're staying at," Conall said as he was looking at Scott before I was defending my lover.
"No, I have it in the backseat of the car that we came here," I lied as I saw some movement that was around the ballroom before we were staring at each other.
"Is that—"
"I think so," the men were talking before they were moving to catch the goons. I held Scott's hand before he turned to look at him.
"Where are you going?" I asked him as I was looking at him. He smiled at me before he was perking my lips.
"Do not worry. We will be okay, stay here," he said as he was moving with the guys and I was looking at his retreating figure. Kat scoffed.
"Ugh, men. They don't think that we can handle ourselves," Kat said as Edmond's wife agreed.
"Yeah, they think we're not that strong," she stated.
"Or cunning or resourceful or anything else that made us better than them," Lucas' wife stated before I was looking at them both.
"Oh silly us. I'm Lyana and this is Arianna," Edmond's wife said before Lucas' wife smiled.
"Just call me Ari," she added.
"And I'm Karla. Nice to meet you guys," I said as I was smiling at them. Then Kat turned to look at me.
"Say, do you mean that?"
"About what?"
"The book?" Kat asked before I laughed. I was shaking my head as I was arching my eyebrow.
"What do you think?" I said before Kat laughed.
"You sly vixen,"
"Well, what are we waiting for? We cannot let the guys have all the fun right?" I said as we were leaving the ball and I was happy to know that for one, I was able to do good after I was off my father's leash.
