 The music sped up and you rush towards Connor with a grin stretching across your face. You take his warm hand in yours and tug him gently towards the floor.

 "Connor, come on! The band isn’t going to be here all night.“ You say smiling, but the Assassin is already shaking his head.

 "You go without me. I do not wish to ruin your fun.” He voiced causing you to pout. You wanted to dance with HIM, but he was persistent. Connor chuckles softly watching you make your way to the floor and wander around the floor looking for a partner.

 To your dismay, an elegant man with blonde hair and blue eyes calls you over to him. If appears he too is without a partner. The music starts and he puts a hand out.

 "Jacob’s the name and it would be my pleasure to have this dance.“ You agreed and Jacob wastes no time slipping a hand to your waist and leading.

 "I have travelled the world, but I have yet to see a beauty like yours.” He begins, you try your best not to roll you eyes. “What are you doing here all alone?”

 "I came with someone.“ You look to where Connor had been sitting and find that he had disappeared. Maybe he needed air, or perhaps a drink?

 "Is something wrong?” Jacob purrs, looking around.

 "No, I just-, my friend who I came with seems to have left.“ You think out loud. Jacob holds you tighter and smiles like a viper. This was a mistake, you now know, and you look around for a escape.

 "It is his mistake for leaving such a beautiful lady then.”

 "Excuse me.“ A hand catches Jacob’s shoulder and you both look at the large, seemingly angry Native. Jacob tenses and takes him in, you relax and release the breath you didn’t realize you were holding.

 "Mind if I cut in?” Connor asks.

 "I do actually. You see,-“ Jacob begins, and you practically push him away and cut him off.

 "Please do.”

 Jacob looks between you two before deciding it wasn’t worth it and walks away. Connor now looks to you and hovers a hand over your waist. You smirk and place it were it needs to be then lead him through the dance.

 "Thanks for saving me.“ You smile and he nods tensely, “You seem to do that a lot. I have a large debt to fill, it appears.”

 "I enjoy saving you.“ He begins, “Not that I enjoy seeing you in trouble. Or that I would enjoy anyone in need. Or that I would save anyone as I do with you. Not that you are more important. I did not mean,” A blush reddened his cheeks, “Well, you are important to me. I find you important.”

 "Thank you, Connor.“ You save him from himself, he nods curtly. "Are you ok? You seem a bit tenser than usual.”

 "Truthfully, I did not like the way that man held you. In saving you, I did not realize I had to…“ His brown eyes look toward the sky in frustration, "I do not know how to dance.” You bit your lip trying not to laugh as it dawns on you that you are still the one leading.

 "You’re doing well.“ You tell him and give him a kiss on the cheek. "Besides,” You continue when your mouth is near his ear. “Only you can touch me so intimately.”
