Keeper's Knowledge (Balancer's Soul cycle) (83 page)

When it
came
time
,
all of the men were to go down to level three
to wait on the
ir
women
. He
made it a
long with
every
other
man
as they
stood
in one of two
long
lines.
He
looked over on the stage to see a full orchestra of over
two hundred
musicians
that would switch during the break so they too could dance
.
They were all preparing their instruments
and readying for
the music to dance to.

He then
felt Sarah getting closer and
realized all of the women were coming up to join with their partners. The moment
Sarah appeared he
could no longer see anyone else.
The vision of h
er was all consuming.

She was wearing a mostly blue dress with the exact shade
of blue that
her wedding dress
had
been
. It was designed
similar
in comparison to a
one piece bathing suit.
It revealed
many of
her exquisite assets. Her tone
d
legs and impressive bust couldn’t be matched
in his
book
.
There were two
spaghetti
straps over her shoulders to keep the dress from falling
off
. Her dress glimmered in the lighting and the dress hung to her every sensual curve. At the backside of her waistline held a silk cloth that dropped behind her knees and flowed
behind her as she walked into his
direction. Her long and straight hair was now curled as it cascaded over her shoulders and back.
Even h
er Tap shoes were a matching blue.

She made it to
his side,
wearing a
n accomplished smile. “Ready to dance, my
k
night”

He
held out
a
hand
while
saying “It would be an honor, Princess”

Once everyone paired up
,
the music started
with a thrumming beat th
at gained everyone’s approval. He
remembered every step and
used those memories to dance. Sarah’s smile grew and she kept up.

When the dance finished he
asked “How did you get your hair to curl like this?”
Connor
couldn’t help
him
self as
he
started running
his
fingers through her
bouncing
hair.

“It was easy. I used Fire to warm up some metal rods and
then
wrapped up my hair
to give the curls
. Do you like my hair this way?” Her green eyes were openly expecting.

“Of course I do, what man wouldn’t?” She smiled
even
brighter when
he
kissed the top of her head.

That night
he
put
the
first
costume into
the
bag so
it
wouldn’t
be forgotten
.

On
day
two
Connor
pulled out
the
ne
xt outfit for the Swing dance. He
wore a
black sleeved shirt with a silver vest fastened with black buttons
made from onyx
. The vest made a perfect contrast on
his
chest.
He
wore black jeans
along with black dress shoes. He
also made an old fashioned hat like
he
remembered from history class during the Swing and Jazz era.
He
was grateful for
Sarah’s help when she taught
modern history
that didn’t make the history books
.

Sarah’s dress this time was mostly white with some black trim around her sleeveless top. Her dress flared out and
he
saw many more filling layers underneath. She wore white
, three inch
high heels and her anklet danced with
her every step. Her hips swayed and
that
made her dress swing even more
dramatically
. The back of her
dress
e
xposed
her flesh
and it sent his
pulse racing.

This dance was a little closer
than yesterday’s
and he
did well for
the
first
Swing
dance.
He
effortlessly
tossed Sarah
high
in the air and she giggled once
he
caught her. She spread her legs and
they
did the swings like
he
remembered from old movies
like Grease and Dirty Dancing
.

Sarah and Connor
laughed when Sorono tossed Veroni
ca in the air after mimicking him
. She let out a roaring scream, but started
a hissing
laugh once Sorono easily caught her. Veronica was wearing a yellow dress and it had a large
pink
poodle sewn in.
Connor
looked at
his
s
ister’s similar pink dress and
knew that
it
was her idea. Then a chain event started with the men tossing their partners
two or more stories
high
in the air.

On day th
ree
came
the Ballroom dance. He
made a replica of a b
lack on black tuxedo like what he
wore for graduation.

His
mate’s dress was black and it showed her hourglass figure perfectly
.
I
t was tight around her breasts and it also pushed them up to look even larger than usual. The bottom of her black dress turned into a bell every time she spun. Around her
wispy
waistline hung several
,
thin
,
silver chains. Her smile said she was enjoying her dancing
.
Women all around thanked her for suggesting this to end the meeting.

Day four was the Modern dance.
Connor
wore a thin black ja
cket and left it open to show the
white undershirt.
He
even
made blue denim jeans with black shoes.

She wore a two piece dress and both were aquamarine. Her top was
covered by
a blue sash
that
wrapped around her breasts
and tied together in the back. T
he bottom half
hung
off her hips and exposing her
taut
middle. The bottom part of her dress had a cut up her left leg and
made its way
all the way
up
to the thigh. She also wore complimentary heels.

Day five was by far the hardest to control
his
urges
and desires. It was for the Latin dance. Connor
wore a tight black shirt with a de
ep V that went all the way to his
belly button
. He designed
it wide enough so
that everyone could easily see his
brand.
His
pants were also tight around
the
hip
s and upper thighs and around his
ankles
,
they flared into bellbottoms.
He
reused
the
black shoes from the Ballroom dance because they could be used more than once.

Connor
about had a heart attack once Sarah’s Latin dress
cam
e
into view
and not just from the complexity of this dress.

Her dress was as green as her eyes. There were hundreds upon hundreds of strips ranging from eight inches to twenty five inches. The small strips were mostly located on her left hip and became longer as they made it to her right
side
. The long strips made it down to her right ankle. It looked like a wedge as long as she stayed still. Her
feet were covered in four inch green high heels. There was a long
and single
green sash sewn on the side of her right hip. The sash moved
across
her abdomen and under her left arm. It
then was
wrapped around her back, under her right arm and over her breasts. It wrapped around
her chest
three times and once it went under her left arm
,
it went behind and over her shoulder and ended when it was held
securely
between her breasts.

The music
became
almost as intoxicating as her quick movements
and practiced steps
. Her legs were quick, precise and perfect. Her dress didn’t slip even a single inch which surprised
him
, but it didn’t take away
his
thoughts.

Connor
told M
ark and Jack something before they
separated
for the night
and they grinned from ear to ear.

Later that night
,
after the lights went out
,
he heard a knock on the door. Sarah followed Connor
out after
he
opened the door to see Sorono and he was still wearing his dance outfit.
Connor
looked up at him and asked “What do you need so late this evening, Sorono?”

Connor
could easily see him, but Sarah struggled
as she squinted
. He said
“After the dance tomorrow, the meeting will be finished. I wanted to let you know that I’ve made all of my arrangements for our departure. Damian will take my place until I
make my
return.”
He turned his eyes to his sanctuary and asked
“What time will we be leaving?”

He
didn’t have a clue so
he
said “How about three hours after the dance? We’ll meet right here and leave together.”

“Very well. Veronica and I will be ready by then. Have a good night and Sarah?”
At the mention of her name she brightened.
“You’ll get a kick out of Connor’s costume.”
He walked away grinning.

Connor
turned to Sarah’s feral grin. “What did he mean by that?”

He
put
his hands up
sa
ying
“Nothing. He meant nothing at all.
”
and
held her hand
to say
“We need some sleep and we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow.”

She grinned like a cat cornering a mouse, but she didn’t push it any more.

Sarah
awoke this morning to an annoying
and pestering
kn
ock. She
knew of only one person it could be.
She
sat up
right
and said “What do you want
,
Kara?”

The knocking stopped. “Is Brother in there?”

She
fumbled
around in the darkness and felt…nothing.
Connor
,
where are you…?
She thought wildly. Sarah
felt for
their
bond and
soon
pinpointed his location. She had to steady her
breathing so
she
didn’t sound worried. “Kara, he’s up on the first floor. Do you need him for something?”

“No, I was just asking because Mark wasn’t in bed when I woke up
either
.” Sarah
heard her sigh beyond
the
door. “The boys must have left together… Get up before you
’
r
e
late.”
