    Summary

    Frank should definitely feel guilty. He probably will tomorrow, when he has to wake up next to his wife, but he can’t bring himself to give a fuck right now, not when Mel—whose name he didn't even know an hour ago—is whimpering above him, babbling nonsense, abs twitching where he’s laid his arm across her belly to hold her in place. The taste of her is tangy and sweet on his tongue and he would stay here forever, he thinks, if she'd let him.

    or: The night before his life completely unravels, Frank Langdon cheats on his wife with a stranger.

    Summary

    “Hmpf,” Robby says, after the first run-through on Monday morning when Frank has felt like a fucking pervert for running his hands down Mel’s soft side, over and over again, because the choreography requires it. It didn’t really help that he couldn’t sleep last night, feeling itchy and hot under the covers.

    He’d tried the dancer’s version of counting sheep, blocking the ballet in his mind, going through all his steps.

    He was just waiting in the wings, yam-pam-pam, Prokofiev’s score playing in his mind, watching Juliet and Paris dance at the ball. Juliet is polite, but bored. Yolanda always plays the bored part really well.

    But then, thinking of how Juliet needs to slips out of Paris' hands on the beat and turn towards Romeo, it was suddenly Mel's face that looked at him expectantly, a soft flush on her cheeks.

    Yikes.

    Or: Royal Ballet principal Yolanda Garcia gets injured and Frank Langdon needs a new partner. Enter Mel King, a recent transfer from Pittsburgh Ballet.
