Like some kind of fae prince from the old stories, the dangerous ones that danced with mortals until they dropped from exhaustion, he inked forward, gliding info Kinsay’s space. He grinned down at her. “Are you offering?”
In those old stories about the fae— the ancient ones who could only tell the truth and so never lied (but instead dodged questions with crafty means)— you were never supposed to accept their offers to dance. It was the one rule.
And yet. And yet.
Kinsay didn't like rules. Not usually. Well, she didn't like rules that were set for her. She did, however, like to test rules. She liked to pick them apart, set them under microscopes and understand them. She even liked setting her own rules. And, when it came to following them, she tried her best. But even then, she did so with a curious edge. Kinsay James liked to see how much the rules could bend. She poked and prodded relentlessly. Incessant in her assessment of malleability.
And so, when Gideon asked, Kinsay only shrugged. "Maybe," she replied, meeting his grin with a small one of her own, coy in its nature.
It was only the one dance. And she had promised. If there was the one rule, she hadn't heard it.
