Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 204

Chapter 204 A dance for the ages

A pathway separated immediately as William led Doris to the middle of the dance floor. Everyone moved off to the side to allow them their space. Doris stared forward and silently prayed that her face wasn’t as red as she felt. She tried not to think about the whole palace about to watch her dance—when she had no idea how to. “I’ve never danced before.” Doris whispered to him. She squeezed his arm tightly. “I don’t think this is a good idea, I’ll step on your feet. Perhaps we should go sit down, I’m getting rather dizzy anyway.” The side of his mouth lifted a little. “That’s the plan, you step on my feet.” “What” William stopped in the middle of the floor and she gasped when he pulled her against him.

they didn’t look like fools at balls. Meanwhile, Doris had always been too busy cleaning up after others. Every step he made, she came with him.

She swayed against him as he held her tight. . “I’ve never danced like this before. And… and this dress. I feel like a princess.” She admitted as quietly as she could against his ear. “I’ve never felt like this before. Only in my imagination.” William pulled back a little to look down at her again. “You should feel like a queen.” Doris froze in his grasp but he kept moving them as if she didn’t. He knew how much his words   weighed, and she had to push them away before they overwhelmed her thoughts. William suddenly smiled at her. A real smile. No ghost, or half pull.
