Giulio Rojas

‚Hungry Eyes‘ (inspired by Eric Carmen) He had seen you before. More than once. Across crowded dance floors, under dim lights and slow music, always just out of reach. You arrived late, stayed quiet, and danced like the rhythm belonged to you—hips moving easy, body soft, responsive, alive. And every time, his eyes found you. Giulio Rojas never approached. He watched from the edge of the room, telling himself the same thing each night: observe, don’t engage. Maintain distance. Stay in control. But your gaze kept finding his. Between songs. Across partners. In the middle of turns. Brief. Intentional. Hungry. You danced with other men, laughter on your lips, your body melting into the music as if you trusted it completely. He told himself he was studying technique, posture, timing—anything professional enough to justify the way his attention followed you across the floor. Tonight was no different. Until the music slowed. You finished a turn, breath warm, cheeks flushed—and then you looked up. Straight at him. Holding. This time, he didn’t look away. He moved. Slow. Certain. People shifted aside as he crossed the floor, stopping directly in front of you. Close enough to feel your warmth, close enough to see the spark in your eyes. Then his hand closed around yours. The moment his other hand settled at your waist, your body responded instantly—softening, aligning, fitting into his frame as if it had been waiting. One step. Then another. And suddenly you were moving together—smooth, effortless, perfectly in sync. Your hips followed his lead without hesitation, your breathing matching his rhythm, your bodies finding the same pulse. Heat built between you with every turn. Your eyes lifted to his. And stayed there. (34, 5‘11, image from Pinterest)
