[touchofrogue]

Rogue glanced over her shoulder and smiled at him, a shiver of anticipation running up her spine. "Yeah?" she said, just loud enough to be heard over the clamor of the casino. "Who told you that?"

[complicatedliar]

"A very wise lady." He squeezed her hand lightly. "A wise and wicked lady."

[touchofrogue]

On impulse, Rogue spun back around, using their connected hands as a guideline to make sure she wound up exactly in his arms. She stood on tip toe, placing her free hand alongside his face to lower his head so she could rest her forehead against his and whisper, "I would love to go dancing with you."

And she sealed the statement with a kiss.

[complicatedliar]

Loki leaned into her in a long line and then made the kiss a thing of heat. He was breathing just a bit faster when it ended. "Like music to my ears."

It certainly redirected the temper the woman at the poker table had prodded into wakefulness. "Where shall I take the lady dancing?"

[touchofrogue]

That - that - was certainly. Yes.

Rogue took a steadying breath and looked at him, her eyes warm and lit with appreciation and desire. Her heart felt so entirely full towards him. She licked her lips and offered, "Let's go to the dance floor. We can work up an appetite for dessert."

Leaning forward once more, she pressed a rolling kiss against his lips. "But just a song or two, okay?"

[complicatedliar]

"I find your offer acceptable." Loki grinned. "I'll have to see how much of an appetite I can work up in you with just two dances, then."

He had ideas.

[touchofrogue]

Heart beating a little faster, Rogue shifted to stand flat on her heels once again. She searched his face and then gave him a mischievous smile, "You're the one I have to worry about bein' hungry."

[complicatedliar]

Loki laughed. "It depends on which appetite you're trying to prod into life, doesn't it."

[touchofrogue]

Rogue began to spin back out of his arms and gave him a warm smile as she did so, "I guess it does, at that."

She wanted to dance with him, which was... odd. Mostly, she wanted to dance with him because she knew it would make him happy, but there was a part of her that just... actually... wanted to dance with him.

[complicatedliar]

"We shall see what you awaken, I suppose." He let her spin away, holding her hand still. Then stepped forward so he could bend to press a quick kiss on her shoulder.

[touchofrogue]

Rogue gasped lightly at his kiss and found that words were escaping her. She was suddenly tempted to skip to dessert. She shook her head to banish the thought and began to lead them towards the dance floor again. "I'm lookin' forward to it."

[complicatedliar]

Loki walked with her, slipping his arm around her waist. "I like the music they're playing." It was a low beat to it, something driving. It was the sort of dancing he was in the mood for.

[touchofrogue]

Rogue allowed him to slip his arm around her waist and responded by doing the same, gloved hand resting comfortably on the top of his hip. She glanced up at him, "Yeah? It's not too modern for you?"

This was not the kind of music Rogue associated with Loki, for some reason that was always classical, formal. This driving beat had something primal to it. Then she remembered, in a rush of heat, his dancing at the rave during the summer solstice. She glanced back down, her lips curving up even as she had to swallow back a sudden rush of nerves, "I hope it's not too much for a geriatric."

[complicatedliar]

He laughed. "Is this what the music at the rave sounded like? The beat feels close to the same." He had only been able to feel the bass, then, not hear it at all. But that rave had really good results and some fond memories. "I think I ought to be able to manage, even if my trousers aren't nearly tight enough."

[touchofrogue]

"It's a little too quiet for a rave."

Focus on Loki. She'd been feeling fine when she had been, eager, even. Now that they were nearly at the dance floor... familiar nerves set in.

She looked at him, let herself really look at him. "I like you in a suit. 'course, the tight trousers weren't bad either. But the suit's very nice."

[complicatedliar]

"We could always ask them to turn it up." He grinned, bumping their hips lightly together. "I'll be certain to let my tailor know you approve. He ought to be pleased with himself."

He led her onto the dance floor, taking in the music, deciding how he'd like to move through it. Preferably as indecently as possible.

[touchofrogue]

"You have a tailor now?" she asked a little loudly, just to be heard over the music. She hadn't gone with him this willingly into the crowd even on the night of the rave, but now... she so wanted to do this with him. The voices in her mind were completely gone. If there was ever any time Rogue could enjoy dancing, it would be now. All she had to do was keep her focus on him.

She liked the look on his face, part pleased with himself and part pure mischief. On the dance floor, she moved to step away from him and face him, but that may not be the best way to get her to dance close...

[complicatedliar]

"Yes, that was why I needed the sewing machine. His name is Hikaru."

He slipped an arm around her waist before she could get away and pulled her back against him as he swayed in time with the beat. "Where do you think you're going?" he murmured into her ear.

[touchofrogue]

Whatever Rogue was going to say about Loki having his own private tailor was lost in the thrill as he pulled her back against him. She reflexively moved one hand to his shoulder while the other found purchase on his hip as he murmured in her ear, so close that she could hear the heat underneath his tone even with the music blaring. Feeling him move to the beat whir pressed so close to her felt good, and Rogue found herself swaying along. "No place very far," she said.

It took a moment for it to sink in that just by this swaying together, they were dancing. Rogue swallowed. She sighed and slipped her hand around the back of his neck to hold him close, pressed against him and shut her eyes, doing her best to follow his lead. Nothing bad was happening. Maybe she could actually do this.

[complicatedliar]

Dancing so close limited how much they could move, but on the other hand it involved all sorts of possibilities for things to get heated. Loki was happy to lead, keeping time with the beat and focusing on hip movements since she had said she wanted some dancing...

[touchofrogue]

It took a little while for Rogue to relax enough to do more than just move with him. This felt very... public and strange and... good. It felt very, very good.

Eventually she opened her eyes so she could look at him, and she saw out of the corner of her eyes that they were far from the only couple engaging in such close dancing, and that helped Rogue relax further. She began to move with the beat, making use of the high slit of her dress to really move against him.

[complicatedliar]

Loki gave her an encouraging smile when she relaxed and then gave his hands leave to wander a bit over her back.

This wasn't really his sort of music, but then again he ultimately liked any sort of music so long as it lead somewhere fun.

[touchofrogue]

The dress dipped down enough in the back to leave Rogue's wings completely free, so the chances were good that as his hands wandered he would find skin instead of silk, and Rogue loved it when he touched her back. She always had.

She brought her hand from behind his neck to run a finger down his shoulder, his chest. This wasn't the kind of music that had easily discernible words, but she actually hummed a little under her breath, just feeling happy, because it was him and her and they were so close and touching each other.

[complicatedliar]

Loki quickly found the boundaries of that bare skin and offered her teasing little touches. In this moment, it felt like nothing had ever gone wrong, and they'd never been dragged down by grief. It felt good.

[touchofrogue]

After some time of this, Rogue was starting to feel not only happy, but comfortable. She always admired the way that Loki moved, and now that she was so close and moving with him, she felt like she couldn't do anything wrong. There was something heady and empowering about moving like this to the music on a public dance floor and with all their talk about making each other hungry, she didn't want to fall behind.

Rogue teasingly arched into him before executing what was, for her, a bold move that also displayed her trust. She turned just enough in his arms to make it so her back aligned with his front, keeping in mind several of the things he'd recently told her he was partial toward, and continued to move with him, dancing. She gave him a smile over her shoulder, hopeful and inviting.
