Chapter - 28
"Save some space for the dessert later." Lady Seraphine playfully winked at Leo.
And suddenly the hall went dead quiet. Fans froze in midair.
Everyone in the hall had just one question, 'What was she doing? She just slapped her husband in public.'
But then suddenly the trance broke and ladies swarmed around Leo and Lady Seraphine. He was suddenly the hottest thing inviting all the moths.
"My dear Seraphine, you must introduce the gentleman to us!" A beautiful lady nudged Lady Seraphine.
"He's the one who saved Aliana, isn't he? How heroic!" Another lady, around the same age as Aliana, looked at Leo in fascination.
"Look at his face. Brave and handsome at the same time. How rare!"
"Sir, Leo. I haven't seen you before, are you visiting Auravale?" Another young lady who looked in her mid twenties held Leo by her arm, her boobs rubbing against him, "I can show you around. There are plenty of fun things to do here."
None of the ladies wanted to let go of Leo much to the blood boiling of the men. They had to stop this bullshit. So the men then went up to the music band and made them change the music.
And just like that, the music shifted into a slow waltz. The men pulled away their wives and partners for the dance.
One of the girls wearing a bright red dress was pushed forward by her mother, "Mr. Leo, would you… Care for a dance?"
Leo smiled gently. Staring at the girl with affection, "A lovely offer, my lady, but I am afraid, I am not much of a dancer. I would probably crush your pretty delicate toes."
The girl looked disappointed, but she left nodding at him with a smile.
And after that a couple of ladies asked him for a dance as well. Then there was even a wealthy merchant's wife who basically pressed her chest against his arm, bribing him for a dance.
But Leo politely refused them all.
Finally when everyone left, Lady Seraphine took a step forward with amusing eyes. It felt like she was enjoying the chaos she had created.
"Are you sure you are not a dancer, Mr. Leo?" She asked, offering her hand, "Or are you simply… waiting for 'the one'?"
"For you, my lady," he said, placing down his wine glass, "No one can stop me from making an exception."
And Leo did not keep Lady Seraphine waiting and held her hand.
And under the gaze of the entire hall, Leo walked with Lady Seraphine to the center of the audience hall.
He put his other hand on her waist, on her curved back, just above her perfectly shaped ass.
[Aiva, activate Magical finger]
[Activating Magical Fingers.]
[Magical Fingers activated. Once activated, the effects of magical fingers last for 30 minutes.]
And just then, Leo felt a warm feeling spread through his body and to his fingers. Leo felt it in his fingers.
And with a smirk playing on his lips, he dug his fingers softly in her back.
The fabric of her dress was so thin that he could feel the warmth of her body through it.
He didn't act in a rush. He did not squeeze or grope her. He let his fingers feel her body. And while doing so, he let the Magical Fingers do their job.
And it worked like a charm, because Seraphine felt it.
She did not expect it. Her breath got caught. A shiver crawled up her spine, and her back arched, pushing her body into his, instead of pulling away.
She was caught by surprise, and her lips parted, almost gasping softly. She felt her knees shake a little. Just enough for her to crouch a little, leaning onto Leo, not wanting to stumble.
The warmth from her back soon spread through her body, down her stomach. It left an electric trail behind it that made her press her thighs together. She could not help but feel a faint, embarrassing wetness between her thighs.
Lady Seraphine could not utter a word, as she looked at Leo with surprise, her face turning red.
'Is it because of him?' She had that thought, but she could not ask him.
Meanwhile, the Amulet was feeding Leo with every subtle change in Lady Seraphine's body.
In an instant it changed from [Gleeful] to [Surprise] to [She is wants to rub it]
And with that chaos in her heart, Leo and Lady Seraphine started dancing. Leo had never taken a single step back on earth. But sitting in front of his PC for hours, he had watched all sorts of videos and dancing was one of them.
So, though he wasn't the smoothest, at least he wasn't stepping on her toes.
Lady Seraphine, on the other hand, smiled, trying her best not to show the change in her expressions.
She leaned in to whisper in his ear, "We have caused quite a stir, Mr Leo. Look at my dear daughter. She wants to stab us with a spoon."
And she was right, when Leo looked over her shoulder, the birthday girl was glaring at them like she was planning their funeral.
"She can try," he whispered, pulling Lady Seraphine a little closer, only to irk Aliana even more.
"But I doubt Lord Dargan will let her do it even if she is his daughter," Leo continued, "I mean look at you, my Lady."
"This is just criminal how beautiful you look."
"I can't tell you how hard things have been since you walked in."
Seraphine's lips curled like she was trying not to laugh, "That's very bold of you to say it Mr Leo. Aren't you afraid the Lord might hear you."
"He won't take it lightly you know."
"That's his fault," Leo winked at her, "Who told him to marry a woman everyone wants to misbehave with?"
"Hehehe… Mr Leo. How can you say that with a straight face?" Lady Seraphine acted shy, "You are making my face feel hot."
Though she played coy, her eyes looked playful. At least she wasn't pulling away.
The music continued to play, everyone continued to dance, and Leo stayed with Lady Seraphine in the middle of the hall, holding her in his arms, smiling at each other.
Then he leaned in closer, his lips almost brushing her ear, "Don't you think it is a bit suffocating here?" he murmured, "There are just too many eyes on us."
"That is to be expected," She didn't argue, "Mr Leo is a handsome young man."
Leo let his thumb move just an inch on her back, slow enough to make it obvious it wasn't an accident, "I need some air," he said, "And maybe… a more private chat."
Feeling his hand move on her back, Lady Seraphine's heart skipped a beat. She felt butterflies in her chest.
"Join me on the balcony, my Lady?"
