Buy her for a night
The already low lights went down further and before I knew it, we were introduced to the Mayor's wife and sitting with him in his private seats for the rest of the show.
This is when I let my uncle take full control and whisper his plan to the mayor as the performance started up. My head was throbbing and the music was grating against some nerve I never knew I had. I couldn't stop shifting around in my seat as the show lit up.
I had to admit that this view was fantastic. We were so close to the stage but I wasn't impressed. I didn't give a single shit about ballet.
However just as l was still staring, something immediately changed when she took the stage.
The moment she did arrive, every person in the theater held their breath. The air left the building and ice danced across my skin. The lights flashed and she moved with impossible fluidity and grace to the trill of the music. I didn't care about ballet but I knew enough to know that this was the lead of the show. This woman was the star. She was Odette. She was the swan.
This was the most gorgeous creature I had ever laid my eyes on. Even from this distance, I could see the intense emotions written across her face as her petite frame flew over the stage. Blue eyes as clear and pale as crystals glistened like she was crying; her full lips set in a permanent pout. My pants felt tighter when l imagined what those lips were capable of.
The way she moved made my chest feel lighter. It occurred to me that this is what It felt to witness an angel come down from heaven. The rest of the world faded away and all I could see was her.
Without realising it, I was leaning forward in my seat and each breath was slow as i got lost in her performance. When the show was ending and it was time for Odette to die, I could have sworn the tears on her cheeks were real. My hand itched to swipe them away , to peel off her dress and feel that delicate skin under my hands.As my thoughts progressed, my heart rate spiked and my chest felt constricted.
"Are you enjoying the show, my boy?", Nikolai chuckled into my ear when he broke conversation with the mayor. I tensed and leaned back into the red cushioned seat once more.
Straightening my tie, I shrugged and let a short laugh slip through my lips.
"That ballerina caught my attention. Seeing her dance like that makes a man dream of devilish things", l responded.
"Did she now?" My uncle looked up to the stage as the performers were bowing and the audience burst into thunderous applause around us
"Devilish things you say?"
"She is beautiful", I responded. I want to have her. I knew right away that I set my eyes on her.
"Well, good news then. The mayor invited us to the after party. We are going to go anyway, all the performers will be there, and I know a man who has connection to New York ballet who will be there as well", I sank back and absorbed what Nikolai was telling me. If he had a connection, there was more to the dancers than met the eyes. It did not surprise part of me at the inference I was picking up on from my uncle's tone.
"What are you telling me, old man?", I narrowed my gaze on the ballerina as the crimson curtains swept over the stage and blocked her from my vision. I wanted to growl like a beast as she left my line of sight.
"If you want the ballerina, I will talk to my guy at the party. Maybe we can come to the arrangement if she's on the menu", He waved his hand dismissively, whispering so the mayor and his wife didn't over hear. "If she's on the menu? It's an intriguing offer. More than intrigued", l retorted. There was fire burning me in my chest to get to the after party and see the dancer again. We rose from our seats and followed the mayor out of the auditorium.
"Then let's go complete this deal with the mayor and buy you a ballerina, Aleksander", My uncle clasped my shoulder and the grin on his face was wicked. The mayor and his wife were enamored with my uncle and insisted we ride with them to the after party. Nikolai went into further details about the business and delighted everyone with his stories.
I tried to pay attention, but my mind was else where. Everytime I tried to focus , all I could see were those pale blue eyes crying as she fell to the stage in a mock death. Her lithe body was so flexible and each movement was elegant . If l didn't get my thoughts under control, I would be forced to hide an erection in the back of the crowded limo.
If my uncle was right and he could get me introduced to the dancer then there was no price I wouldn't pay to have her. The cost didn't matter if those full lips were at my disposal. It got increasingly hot in the limousine as we crossed the city to the event venue the after party was being held at.
Most of the big names from the audience would be there, as well as minor celebrities in the city who knew about it. Nikolai told me the performers took a while to arrive but after the show they just put on it didn't surprise they needed a little break time.
Nikolai didn't go in detail about what he knew. He put his full attention on blowing away the mayor with as many extensive plans as he could get away with but my mind lingered on how he worded his statement.
"Buy you a ballerina"
Yes l was going to buy her for a one night stand.
