The vicious lady can never change

 The music continued to play smoothly as if nothing had happened, but Abrielle's palms were sweating with her heart thudding in her ribcage, which didn't skip Cedric's attention. She was scared and she should be. Her head was bowed again as she didn't think she could hold his gaze.

 

 "Why are you stunned or annoyed to dance with your husband after how far we have gone?" His question was laced with sarcasm; she didn't understand where it was coming from.

 

 Cedric had swapped dance partners with her. She felt his gaze on the back of her head, but she dared not glance back at him. Her face pressed against his chest with his thick sandalwood and vanilla mixed scent. It was heavenly not that she would admit it.

 

 "One minute it's Alfonso and the next Lucian. I really can't take my eyes off you for long." His voice, with a husky tone, drawled, making her swallow hard.
