((Just to point out, Matt, it is kind of unrealistic that Matt would know so much about Remy. They have never met before, and Remy intentionally keeps a low profile about her less than honorable ways. Also, she is still pretty new to town and doesn’t have enough of a history here for the gossip to have gotten around. Just saying.))
Jess looked around then gave a shrug. "Care for some more drink?" he asked, grabbing another glass of chamagne for her.
Well well well, this was interesting. There seemed to be something about this woman, something... different, something he couldn't put his finger on anyway, so he decided not to try.
"Sure," he said with a smile, making a curteous gesture to the dance floor. 'This should be fun," he thought, deciding that tonight would be a night to let loose, "After you," he said, making the gesture once more
Remy was pleased when Jess so quickly accepted her invitation to dance, and she did not hesitate to show it. It wasn’t that she was happy, persay – though she couldn’t rightly say because she didn’t know what any emotions felt like – but she knew that this was another building block of the foundation in her plot for the night. Jess seemed to be playing along nicely in her scheme. If he had noticed anything suspicious about a beautiful woman taking sudden interest in him without reason, he was ignoring it.
People believe lies because they want to, Remy thought to herself as she flung her hair over her shoulder and took Jess’s hand in hers. Playfully, she tugged him toward the dance floor, making a “come hither” motion with her finger, but keeping it good-humored. Every man had a type, and Remy was exceptionally good at figuring out which type that was after only a few minutes. There were many types of women: bright and bubbly, wilting flower, smoldering temptress. You name it, Remy could play it. But Jess’s type was definitely not smoldering temptress, so Remy kept her vixen-like qualities at bay and instead let a mischievous grin play across her lips as they reached the center of the dance floor.
Having timed it so that the slow waltz would end just as they stopped, Remy was pleased to hear a song with a Latin beat fill the room, perfect for Cha Cha. Knowing nothing of Jess’s dance skills, she began to do the steps on her own, the feathered train of her dress moving with her as she accentuated her hips and moved her arms in time with the music.
When people dance, they don’t act like themselves. Some people are more awkward, some more boisterous, others downright more interesting than their usual selves. Remy didn’t really have a “self” to act like, being the chameleon she was, but Latin music always gave way to a type of sensuality that she fell more easily into than other personalities. She exploited this now by running her fingers down Jess’s torso, tugging him toward her holding his electric blue tie between her fingers, willing him to dance with her while simultaneously letting him know that there were no rules when it came to dancing. Anything was fair game.
