Amaria was expecting many things when she decided to have a dance with Cassian. For him to do a slow dance to not embarrass himself, for him to make some kind of mistake when dancing or for the said dance to be only for a few minutes at best.
Almost all the children of those of noble ranks are taught to dance at the ball, which is what is mostly necessary for people like them since it is essential for them to be able to at least dance properly during a ball. Few are those who decide to take the art further forward.
After all, to most nobles, dancing isn't much of a requirement for them and so they learn only the bare minimum needed to dance properly at a ball. And even if some do, the only ones who does take dancing further are girls, since the boys don't hold much interest in dancing and it is seen as not being suitable for nobles to be dancing to entertain others.
So colour her surprised when she saw how good at dancing Cassian is as she was forced to up her performance to keep up with his moves. He also didn't stick to one form of dancing and changed into another midway with perfect sinc which caused her to do the same.
She then became a bit competitive with him as she tried to read his moves and move accordingly as the two started to dance around with more speed and force as they twirled and swished around each other as they used various dance moves.
Amaria gained a glint in her eyes as they grabbed each other hands and danced before they started slowing down and then started to slowly dance. She had some sweat on her forehead and she was slightly panting as she looked at him, as her eyes widened when she saw that he didn't look the least bit tired from the dance they had just done.
'How is he not affected like this?' Amaria thought to herself as she looked at him in surprise.
At the same time she felt her body heat up more as she looked at him as she looked at him as they danced slowly. Cassian was using his skill and using his pheromones to make her feel attracted towards him while also simultaneously making her more aroused from being beside him.
Amaria's cheeks flushed a bit as she looked at him as he smiled at her causing her cheeks to redden more as she looked at him as he smirked at her.
"You dance well." Cassian said to her with the smirk.
"Thank you. I have worked hard to learn this." Amaria said to him politely at that as she tried to control her blush.
"And I must say that you are also very adaptive as well. Not to mention your beauty alongside the dance would mesmerise many." Cassian said as he praised her with a smile on his face.
"Th-Thank you." Amaria said as she blushed from his praise.
And the pheromones he was emitting was also working on her as well which caused her to become a bit more attracted towards him as he smiled at her to raise her opinion about him.
"So, I suppose we can stop the dance now?" Cassian asked her with a smile.
"Perhaps we can go for a few more minutes?" Amaria asked him as she looked at him with a blush.
"Of course." Cassian said with a smile as he also made sure to take a look at Leah.
Said little sister was pouting as she sat with her arms crossed as she looked at the two of them as he smiled in his mind at the reaction of the girl as he danced with Amaria.
After doing a slow dance with Amaria they separated and she left the room with the maids following her as he went to talk with Leah after she had talked with her sister.
But this time Leah was pouting as she puffed her cheeks out while looking at him with a glare while Caitlin looked at the younger girl and then at him, not knowing what to do in the situation.
"What's wrong Leah?" Cassian asked her with a smile.
"Nothing." Leah said as she looked away from him.
"Did you feel jealous because I was having fun dancing with your sister?" Cassian asked her with a smile on his face.
"N-No..." Leah said as she looked away from him and tried to not meet his gaze.
But that was all Cassian needed as he gently grabbed Leah's face and turned it to him and then kissed her on her cheek near her lips surprising her as she blushed a bit while the maid that was in the room gasped lightly at seeing it.
"Does that help my dear?" Cassian whispered to her with a smile on his face.
Leah blushed and nodded her head a bit as his smile widened in response to it as he stood straight and held his hand in front of her as she grabbed it and stood up.
"Now, do you wish to go anywhere right now? We can go there together." Cassian said to her with a smile on his face.
"To the tea table in our garden." Leah said to him as she looked at him as he could see the excitement in her eyes.
"Alright, the garden it is." Cassian said with a nod as he gestured for Caitlin to follow him.
And with that the three of them left the room and went towards the garden as per the wishes of the little lady with them as Cassian smiled to himself at how his plan is coming to fruition.
'It was a good thing that I learned dancing. After all, it allowed me to become closer to Amaria. Now she just needs a bit more push.' Cassian thought to himself as he walked with Leah and Caitlin.
At the same time, Amaria was making her way to her room as she walked briskly with a controlled blush on her face. She reached her room and ordered the maids to not enter until she gave them her permission before she went inside and closed it.
After she had entered her room, she went to her bed and threw herself on it before she grabbed her face as she blushed bright red as she remembered the dance she had done with Cassian and how close his face was to her own.
She had taken notice of how handsome he is, but having his face this close to her one, while he was dancing with her, while also having a great voice, all combined to have a great effect on her as she had blushed in front of him.
And that wasn't mentioning how her heart was beating faster as she looked at him and she also remembered how she had asked him to keep on dancing a bit more. She also remembered how very practiced dance moves and she also felt drawn towards him due to it.
As men do not take the time to study the art and it is usually women who study and learn that, so the fact that he had not only learnt it but is also very skilled in it was a major thing for her as it made him even more unique compared to other nobles.
'I really need to cool my head down.' Amaria thought to herself as she realised what she was thinking and squished any other thoughts that had surface regarding him
