    Summary

    The gallery seemed to shrink around them, all oil portraits and shadows. Megumi’s heart thundered, fury and something more traitorous knotting in his chest. Why is he here? Why does he keep looking at me like that?

    “Why are you even bothering?” Megumi asked bitterly. “Did your ego take a hit when I walked off without fawning over you like the others?"

    “No,” Ryoumen said simply. “Because you looked at me like I was nothing. And I’ve been looked at a lot of ways—but never like that.”

    Megumi faltered for a breath. “You deserve worse.”

    “I probably do.” Ryoumen stepped closer, enough that Megumi could feel the warmth radiating through the scant inches between them. “But I’m still asking.”

    Megumi narrowed his eyes. “Asking what?”

    Ryoumen’s hand lifted, palm open, patient and strangely soft for someone who could break him with a word. “Dance with me.”

    Megumi stared at the offered hand, then up into those infuriating eyes. “You’re serious?”

    “I am.”

    No.”
