[A/N: It's been a while, everyone! I'm really sorry for the long hiatus. I know I messed up by disappearing again, but no excuses this time, I truly apologize. I'm back now! My writing might feel a little rough since I'm picking this up after such a long break, but I'll find my style again in a few days.]

Applause echoed across the hall, encouraging Jake and Zamira. Jake held Zamira's hands, guiding her to the center before pulling her close, one hand resting on her waist while her back arched slightly, her red hair brushing against the floor. He lifted her up gracefully just as live music began, and the two moved in rhythm with the traditional vampire dance steps.
Thanks to Jake's private lessons, his movements were flawless. When the dance ended, Jake and Zamira sealed it with a deep, passionate kiss, parting only with a thin string of saliva between them. Zamira's flushed red face said everything, she was savoring every moment.
