The Traps of Black Swan

Chapter 14 - Sync Perfectly



Aaron didn't hold Aarvi roughly even though it was a daring move on her. He knew she wouldn't care to show the place in front of anybody but he took a chance ready to face however she would react.

He avoided touching her bareback, he placed his palm on her lower back, holding her hand gently, and looked at her enticing face right in front of him. He saw a hint of shock which was replaced by confusion seeing him.

He was content seeing there wasn't a hint of disgust even though she was angrily staring at him which was saying, 'leave me'

She glanced at her hand which seemed too small next to his, he was purposefully holding the edges of her fingers so that she could back off if she wanted. His other hand wasn't really placed on her back. It was hardly touching her dress layer. Even though she was angry, she wanted to know the reason as he hadn't crossed the distance between them.

Naomi's turned grim seeing them lost in their eyes without moving or reparteeing. Shawn had just gotten to his music mix station when he saw them. An evil smirk appeared on his face and stormed his music files.

Aaron quickly made up an excuse, "Didn't you want to train in the gym? Let's see if you could manage on the dance floor for fifteen minutes, I will train you personally." He wouldn't allow a third person to train her.

When Aarvi decided to stand against some families, she wanted to strengthen her core but according to Aaron, she was weak to handle the exhaustion so he hadn't allowed her. Hearing him, she wanted to prove she is fitter than he thinks.

Fifteen minutes dance, it isn't a big deal.

Aaron assured, "Don't worry, I know the limits."

Her lips slightly moved and accepted, "Deal."

Aaron signaled his men to confiscate the digital devices of other customers to avoid anybody recording their dance and make it a huge deal.

The music was soothing and perfect for the salsa or ballroom dance. Aaron naturally led and Aarvi followed without a glitch and their distance unpretentiously started closing down.

Aarvi was thinking it was a piece of cake but the music took a huge turn. Her eyes landed on Aaron's who instantly matched it and twirled her away.

Her flared skirt twirled in the air showing off her slender legs attracting more attention.

Tango!

Tango is an unpredictable romance. It has angry flips out and has different feelings displayed. Then it makes up for it to finish romantically.

Aarvi grounded her teeth and glared towards the music system where Shawn was interestingly watching her. In the college festival, Shawn and Aarvi had given a salsa performance on demand. But Shawn loved the tango style and felt Salsa as boring.

They had practiced for weeks to perform Salsa, Aarvi had no idea if Aaron could even dance. Aarvi failed to notice Shawn's mischievous smile.

Shawn knew Aarvi wasn't comfortable displaying different expressions now so he chose the music accordingly and set it to anger. He wanted to see if her anger would chase her away from Aaron or attack Aaron. It was his favorite 'Angry tango.'

Aarvi knows if she feels slightly uncomfortable she will push Aaron away. She didn't want to make him a joke in front of so many and now for her training was attached to it.

Unsure about how the dance will end, she took a deep breath and got into the role. Her hips slightly swayed, her toes traced on the floor walking away from Aaron.

Aaron glanced at Shawn who was brightly smiling when Aarvi adopted the dance form and Aaron realized she knows tango and she is ready to dance... 'with me!'

He was very much surprised. At the same time, he didn't want to make her uncomfortable which will push him far away from her. He had tried hard to take step by step to reach till where he was with her, he didn't want to ruin it at any cost.

Composing himself, he followed her.

When everyone thought his finger would graze her skin sensually before pulling her to him, Aaron's fingers closely moved next to her arm without touching and pulled her to him by palms.

Aarvi was amused and thought of being uncomfortable vanished. Her attention was on Aaron, music, and dance forgetting the rest.

Aarvi didn't choose to run but attacked. Aaron smirked at her perfect move and posture. Seeing her confidence, Aaron let down his worry wrapping her in his arm and matching the curve of her body.

He wasn't sure how she was able to put on a straight face even at the close proximity where their nose was just a few centimeters away, his heartbeat undoubtedly raised.

Soon other dancers left the whole dance floor for them just by seeing the first pose.

Holding her in the crook of his arms, Aaron led her around her floor in a curve syncing their legs movements. Twirling her next to him, his hands never surfaced on her bare skin other than palms that looked rather sensual than the actual touch.

The audience started to yearn to see when he would touch her by holding their breath.

Aarvi soon realized one thing, they sync perfectly.

Thinking about how he always understood without her words and how she always knew without him speaking surprised her. She never thought about it in the past, she never cared about her and Aaron's chemistry before.

When they were in close proximity, "I want to ask something."

Aaron wrapped his hands around her waist, lifting her up while she swung her legs in the air, "I'm stunned." He was really astonished hearing her initiating a conversation.

Aarvi's face turned dark and her movements became sharp. Aaron was quick to realize he said the wrong line and he was also confused why the music was still intense, where is the change in different emotions?

He prioritized Aarvi first, "You mean to ask, we never danced but we are perfect together."

Wrapping her leg around his long leg holding her head back for the right pose, her eyes stayed on Aaron saying, "Exactly."

Even though Aaron wasn't sure why they were syncing seamlessly, he never wanted it for others so he was delighted to know she realized it too.

"Do you dislike it?" He asked expectantly without missing a beat.

Aarvi asked herself first and promptly responded, "No." It's the first time she felt she was blending with another person without the irritation or feeling of disgust to run far away.

Aaron buried his smile. He just hoped she shouldn't feel uncomfortable anymore around him and continued to groove on the dance floor for the first time with Aarvi.

But Aarvi suddenly felt her surroundings going dark, her breathing turned heavy and her body stopped listening to her turning to a lump.
