Marcus lifted her to her feet. Helpful, too, because the incredibly slender heels beneath her calcanei were precariously steep. His smile warmed her, and she felt the blush touch her cheeks. While she would usually recoil from the attention, she physically had to lace her arm through his. The embarassment of stumbling in heels would be harder to bear than the proximity of Marcus's body alongside her own.
With his arm as counterlever, they progressed smoothly along the marbled floors. Her dress hung heavy over her toes with all the weight of crystals and embroidered beading. The women at GUM made her try on no less than six dresses before she settled on this one. They seemed surprise that it was her final selection, but truthfully, Danika claimed it as her own the moment she saw it. Deep purple shone with the glint of turquoise, navy and green stones, beads and crystals that swirled around her body like stars of the night sky. The neckline scooped her chest and fell from both shoulders. Her hair and makeup was immaculate. A bold color painted her lips. Diamonds dripped from her ears like falling stars. She felt like some princess of the universe.
She accepted the flute from Marcus and immediately put the crystal to her lips. A wide smile split her face. The champagne mixed with the vodka already filling her stomach. She had to do two shots before even getting in the limo. Luckily, they did their work and she felt amazing.
Music lulled her within. Even in these heels, she sent the silent query to Marcus. "Care to dance?"
