I am Quayd Ryan...I have been searching for years from my soul mate; having lost her once I was not going to do it again. I lurk in the shadows of the rose garden of a castle in which I use to live. Who would have thought that she would find me; Hala Tramayne her name in this life. My soul mate came back as a writer and moved into our home from one of her other lives. Whether or not she likes it I am not going to lose her again, I have made that promise to myself, and I do not break my promises to anyone. I have not made her mine yet and I am ashamed of the way I was controlling her on our first meeting. However, it is too late to be the gentle man I know I can be; she would take one look at me and know that it was not a dream at all and that I am some kind of monster.
Moreover, there is no way for me to make her understand...not me, not my life, or that we are meant to be together. I only took a taste of her last night; to insure I will be able to find her if by accident I scare her away from here.
The moon is full again...The nights air cool and the dead roses as dead as always they are. I look up to her bedroom window...Hala is there I know even if I cannot see her. She is brushing out her shoulder length auburn hair; getting ready for bed. She caresses the love mark I left upon her neck...wondering what will become of her. I smile as I read her thoughts; her naughty little thoughts. Still thinking I must be coming from her imagination, and hoping to meet me again. This all pleases me very much, almost as much as I plan to please her.
Her light just went out, and she is crawling into her bed. Her bed that has known our passion for centuries past. She has left her window open tonight, and open invitation for me. And I do intend on obliging...
I pick up a single dead rose and make my way to her window…floating up as if I had wings and could fly. I silently make my way in and to her bed. Looking down admiring her innocent beauty; making it hard to believe she write erotic stories for a living. I carefully pull back the covers and crawl into bed beside her sleeping body. As if she knows, I am there she rolls over and curls up next to me. I carefully slip my arm under her head. Gently leaning down and kissing her full lips. I feel her body tremble as she opens her green eyes to look into mine.
