[BL] Seducing Male Leads To Survive As A Villain In A Novel-Chapter 253: Shameless at it

The soft music played and their feet moved. Hands clasped together, Lysander skillfully led Eden step by step while they navigated the dance.

Eden took a step further, backward, left and right. And then stepped on Lysander from time to time.

"Oh, sorry." He bit his lower lip while he moved, trying to be careful about where his feet went. He looked down but Lysander casually said,

"No. Don’t look down. Look at me." Lysander smiled as their eyes met again. "Keep your eyes on me. At all times..."

Eden stared at him while they danced. "You really are good at this. How long have you been dancing or what?"

Lysander smiled. "I don’t know, maybe ever since I could walk?" He shrugged, their feet still sweeping through the dancefloor.

Eden stepped on his feet again. "Sorry."

Lysander laughed softly. "Don’t bother. Continue dancing."

And they did. They continued moving with the rhythm as they smiled. Eden still stepped on him from time to time, but in a matter of minutes, Eden had gotten a hang of it.

He smiled as he watched himself moving with Lysander. He had always been a fast learner, so he guessed this was bound to happen.

Lysander stared at him with a smile. Watching him smile over the fact that he was actually learning how to dance.

And so they danced in silence for the meantime before the switch came.

Everyone switched their partners in the dimly lit room. The blueish light illuminating the harmonious room as everyone made a smooth switch with their partners, except Eden.

"Are you sure about this?" Lysander asked.

"Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. It’s just a switch," Eden assured.

Lysander slowly nodded. "Okay then..." he said as they switched; he was reluctant to let him go. But he didn’t have any choice since it was part of the dance. And breaking it would break the flow. And Eden didn’t seem to want that.

They switched and Eden found someone firmly holding him by the hand and waist. As though they’ve been waiting for this moment for like forever.

Eden stared into those eyes, that smug smile. And at that moment he realized who it was. "It’s as though you just snatched me instead of switching. That’s not so ethical."

"You’re overthinking," Adrian smiled. "We switched and got each other. It’s fate."

Eden rolled his eyes as they danced. To the left, to the right, front, back, their feet staggered to move smoothly. Adrian smiled. "Did you just learn how to dance, like, this night?" He teased.

But Eden knew it was true. He did in fact learn it like seconds ago or so. "I’m a wizard, not a dancer."

"Still, don’t you wizards ever dance in your kingdom or what. Do you just cast spells all day?" He teased.

"Yes. Yes we do," Eden shrugged.

"Then I guess I’ll have to teach you how to do a better job than moving your legs like a turkey," Adrian held him tightly by the waist.

Eden stiffened, staring at his face. Staring into his eyes. That smug expression. "I don’t need your dance classes..."

He protested, but he had already begun moving with Adrian’s rhythm. It was smooth and effortless.

His hands on his waist as he took him through the dance floor. Eden didn’t necessarily need to count his steps, calculate his moves, he was just dancing. And in about a minute, he was already in sync with Adrian. Subconsciously.

Adrian smiled. "See? I’m a great teacher," he scoffed. "I’ve been at thousands of balls. Dancing with thousands of ladies. So I know how to teach anyone. Even someone as terrible as you."

Eden rolled his eyes and intentionally stepped on his feet as they moved.

"Ouch," Adrian snapped.

He stepped on it again. And again. And again.

"Ouch—"

"Ah.."

"What are you doing?" He stared at Eden.

Eden flashed him a smile. "Oh, sorry teacher. I guess your student didn’t learn the steps well. You must not be such a good teacher then," he teased.

Eden moved again and stepped on his feet, hard this time. He took joy in watching his smug expression fade.

Adrian closed his eyes and opened them again, now staring into Eden’s face. "If you step on me again, I promise I’ll kiss you. I’ll kiss you so hard that you’ll forget where we are."

Eden paused, eyes shocked while he stared at Adrian. They still moved. Slowly to the rhythm of the song.

He was speechless.

"Is that... a threat or what?" Eden questioned.

Adrian smiled. His smug smile was back on. "No. It’s a promise. One I’m desperate to keep. So try it again."

Eden knew how shameless Adrian was. And he was sure he’d end up kissing him here in the open. That was the last share of shame he wanted tonight, and so he didn’t bother.

Adrian almost laughed at his silent retreat while he pulled him closer to him by his waist. "What? You don’t want a kiss from me or what?"

"Shameless," Eden muttered.

"Shameless? Me? Says the one who wanted to play with my dick the first time we met," Adrian blurted.

Shocked, Eden removed his hand from his shoulder and covered Adrian’s mouth. His eyes were wide in shock. He looked around, hoping people around didn’t hear that.

He stared at Adrian again. "Your language...."

Adrian’s eyes lit with a smile as he kissed Eden’s hand over his mouth. Eden removed his hand.

"Sure. It’ll be our little secret. I won’t tell anyone," Adrian smiled as they continued dancing. His hand on Eden’s waist, Eden’s hand on his shoulder. They moved effortlessly to the rhythm and Eden found himself getting accustomed to every step. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Silence fell between them as the melody filled the room. But then Adrian, who had been staring at Eden for a long time now, asked out of the blue,

"Do you love me?"

Eden paused, he turned and stared at Adrian whose eyes were fixed on him. For a long time now.
