Quinn winked at Nesta when Tessa turned her around and her line of sight fell on him where he was standing.
He saw her smile back as she lowered her gaze to avoid all the spectators seeing her pink cheeks and whispered something to Tessa, no doubt in his mind that they were talking about him. He made his way to where they were dancing.
"Are you blushing because we are dancing together, Nesta?" Tessa asked when she saw the blush on her face before she managed to lower her head.
"No, that is far from it. Your brother just winked at me in front of the whole room." she said to a smiling Tessa.
Tessa was about to say something when she felt a hand on her shoulder and a voice behind her back.
"Do you mind if I have this dance instead, my lady?" Tessa looked back to see Quinn behind her, his eyes fixed on Nesta though he was talking to her.
"I am not sure we are quite done my lord, or what do you say Lady Nesta?" She turned to look at Nesta to find her staring in Quinn's eyes.
"Oh for heaven's sake, will you two just get a room already." She said throwing her hands in the air at the open affection these two were throwing in each other's way.
"Tessa!" Both Nesta and Quinn called her name at once.
"Just dance already." She laughed at them and nodded as she made her way from them. Just before she left, she saw them smile at each other and she could not help but harbor an ounce of worry in her heart.
She knew fully well why Nesta was here in her brother's life but she wasn't sure what path they were to take now. For the first time in her life, she was confused. She knew from the way Quinn looked and talked about Nesta that he admired her and was slowly , if not completely, falling in love with her.
The girl is a true beauty and a wonderful person, even she herself could not stay away from her as she found her company peaceful and the best thing to be in.
She could only wish her brother would come clean with her and tell her everything, maybe she would even be able to help them without all this thearchery, hiding and lying.
She could not even think or imagine what would happen if Nesta found out the truth herself and decided to leave him, Quinn would not be able to survive it because of how much she means to him.
She knew this but she was not sure he did. She was lost in thought as she made her way outside.
Quinn took Nesta's hand and he led her to where they would be dancing while everyone else in the room continued what they were doing and those that were interested in dancing joined them on the dance floor.
"Don't pay her any attention, she jokes around like that." Quinn said to her as he spinned her around.
"I know she meant no harm, she is that type of person. She enjoys teasing other people and she does it freely without caring what anybody thinks, she is like you in that way.
Did you know she was the one that suggested we dance together?" She said, smiling at him.
"You know I can not say I am exactly surprised at your growing relationship with my sister. Normally she doesn't relate well with people and she was a little skeptical about meeting you but now she is warming up to you in the most amazing way and that is only possible because you are an amazing and wonderful person yourself.
Your company is always a delight and yet I question why I could not stay away from you." Quinn said, wrapping his arms around her waist and bringing her closer to him while sniffing her neck and closing his eyes briefly.
Nesta tried to control her breathing as her body heated up from his hot breath on her neck, she was trying hard to control her breathing from his hand moving sensually around her waist.
Other people were dancing normally but one could hardly call their own dancing normal because of the amount of laboured breathing going on and the sexual tension between them is as thick as a rubber band.
"Your scent, it's addictive. It's clogged my senses and I can not seem to think straight whenever you are near." He whispered in her ears, making her shudder slightly.
"And what scent is making you addicted, my lord?" she asked him, bringing her voice low in a seductive manner.
"LIlies, my lady. Not too deep and not too light but it is impossible to miss whenever you pass. Instead of the ordinary breeze blowing, I am graced with your beautiful scent instead and I take a moment to savor it, like now," he paused taking a deep sniff of her and lightly rubbing his nose on her neck.
