Night at the Ballet

Premise: It’s World Ballet Day, and Ethan organizes a special surprise for Cassie.

Book: Open Heart (post series) Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Cassie Valentine) Rating/Category: Teen+. Fluff. Format: Prose + Edits Words: 620

A/N: World Ballet Day is on November 1. I'm a day late, but it still counts. Using @choicesflashfics week 57, prompt 3. Late submission to @choicesprompts Flufftober

Part 1: The Ballerina

Part 2: The Ballet

Ethan Ramsey leaned back and stretched his arm across the back of a plush seat. His blue eyes were uncharacteristically soft as he watched his wife gleefully caption the picture she’d taken of the performance before the intermission.

He didn’t often get a chance to surprise Cassie Valentine, but he’d gotten lucky this time. He knew how much she loved ballet, so when he saw an ad for a special performance of Swan Lake for World Ballet Day, he felt it was kismet.

He’d gone all out -- hiring a limo for the evening, arranging her favorite champagne and an early dinner at a romantic French bistro before the performance.

“And done!”

Cassie turned her phone’s screen to show him the post, her green eyes brimming with delight. She laughed when he rolled his eyes and snuggled against him, lifting his arm to drape it over her shoulder.

“You know,” Ethan drawled, “you could’ve waited until we got home to post that. Focusing on one thing at a time is a highly underrated quality.”

Cassie scoffed. “Boobs prove that men can focus on two things at once.”

“Yours are definitely worthy of attention,” Ethan quipped before he could think twice about it.

“Even if they’re not very big?” she mused questioningly.

Ethan paused, his eyes narrowing in consideration. “I think that line of query requires a complete diagnostic exam before I can make my final determination.”

He grinned lasciviously, reaching for the bodice of her gown. Cassie snorted a laugh and swatted his hands away.

“Behave,” she scolded. “We’re in public, and this box doesn’t provide much privacy from other patrons.”

As if to prove her point, Cassie briefly glanced sideways at the woman in the box beside theirs, who was staring openly at them. “Why are we talking about my breasts?”

“Damn if I know,” Ethan growled, menacingly staring down their neighbor until she looked away, abashed.

“Anyway,” Cassie shrugged, returning to their earlier conversation. “The whole point of Picta is to live in the moment and let your friends join in the fun.”

Her phone was on silent, but the screen lit up with a notification.

“See?” She unlocked the phone and snorted when she read Bryce’s comment aloud.

“I could have told him I thunk it,” Cassie griped, rolling her eyes.

“You’ve ruined my reputation,” Ethan teased, nuzzling her neck and kissing the sensitive spot just below her ear. “I might have to exact revenge just for that.”

“Everyone knows revenge is a dish best served cold,” she kissed his jaw, “and you’re way too impatient.”

“Are you sure about this?” he challenged, quirking one eyebrow.

She eyed him in disbelief. “Sure that you’re already wondering how you can convince me to leave early so you can fuck me? Yes!” She framed his face between her hands and peered into his eyes, amused. “I know you, babe.”

“In that case,” he drawled, cuffing her wrists, “let’s get out of here.”

Cassie smiled seductively. Her lips hovered over his, tantalizingly close. And then the lights overhead flickered a few times.

“Looks like the intermission is over.” She gently nipped his bottom lip with her teeth. “And this act is my favorite.” She teased his lips with her tongue before pulling away. “So, you’ll have to wait your turn.”

The house lights dimmed, and Cassie leaned forward, her eyes once more on the stage. As the music drifted from the orchestra below, Ethan squirmed in his seat and surreptitiously adjusted the front of his pants.

There were still two acts left, he thought with a glance at his watch. It was going to be a long wait indeed.
