Jayla entered the club and sensed he was there. She often wondered if he was real or just an unattainable hallucination. As her eyes scanned the smorgasbord of hard bodied specimens, Jayla mindlessly wandered to the dance floor. It was as though a silent force guided her there. She found the music was overpowering and began to move to the pulsating beat. Jayla abruptly stopped as though hitting an invisible wall and frantically searched the immediate area. Finally her torment ended as her eyes fell upon him. He sat at a table close to the dance floor. He was observing his surroundings when she first laid eyes on him. Jayla felt an amazing serge of power when she saw him. "My mate," she thought and almost forgot to breathe.
He was just as he appeared in her dreams. The man had shoulder length brown hair, a tattoo of a scorpion on his left forearm and eyes like blue sapphires. He oozed confidence, and his face housed a set of lips that were made for kissing. Jayla longed for those lips to be on her naked flesh, but she had to be patient a little longer. Jayla wanted to look away, but she froze when those eyes turned on her. It was as though he was looking into the core of her soul.
Jayla held his gaze, and he motioned for her to approach him. Jayla stood still. She felt a force invade her mind and she fought against it. Her mother had told her that he would come when the time was right but she neglected to mention he might be immortal. Now she knew, and so did he. Jayla was not human either. She was an immortal with a mixture of vampire and werewolf blood flowing through her veins. Jayla reveled in the look of surprise on his face when he realized whom he was trying to control. She smiled and with curiosity in his eyes, the man stood up. Jayla was very pleased that she found such a deliciously masculine mate. She suddenly became very nervous, as he approached her.
Kaleb couldn't believe how breathtaking she was. His mate was petite at 5'2 with black hair and piercing green eyes. She had a smile that enflamed his soul and her large breasts complimented her muscular frame. Kaleb sensed her as soon as she entered the club, but he didn't know who she was until he felt the pull of her stare. When their eyes met, he felt a jolt that both surprised and intrigued him. And when Kaleb tried to push his own power onto her, she pushed back. Kaleb didn't know his mate would be a powerful immortal. He just knew she was out there waiting for him to find her, and tonight his search came to an end.
Jayla just stood unmoving on the dance floor as Kaleb came to stop in front of her. Standing this close only encouraged his desire to posses her. "I didn't know such beauty and power could come in such a minute package. My dreams haven't done you justice. The live version is much more appealing," Kaleb said as his hand reached down to touch Jayla's cheek. A shock of electricity flowed through them. Both beings closed their eyes and enjoyed the feeling surging through them. Jayla was smiling up at him when Kaleb finally opened his eyes. She wanted to jump him right there and then, but she forced herself to step back from his touch.
The electricity that passed between them almost knocked her to her knees, so she took this time to recover and admire his form more intimately. Jayla slowly moved her eyes over his body. Kaleb was 6'2 with broad shoulders, a wide chest and a slim waist. She also observed how the bulge in his jeans seamed to grow with her intense examination. Jayla smiled and licked her lips causing Kaleb to noticeably shiver. "My name is Jayla," she told him. "I am Kaleb," he responded with desire in his eyes. "I am honored to finally meet you. You have overrun my dreams since I was a young boy. And you mine as well," Jayla replied biting her lower lip. That one action sent his primal urges raging and all Kaleb wanted to do was ravish her. He had to use all his strength to stay in control.
"Would you like to stay here or go somewhere more private to talk," Kaleb asked still staring at Jayla's full red lips. "I fear that if I am alone with you right now, there won't be much talking," Jayla responded shyly. Kaleb began to laugh. His laughter tugged at her heart and she had to remember to breathe yet again. "I agree with you," and he led her back to his table to talk. Jayla sat with her back to dance floor, and she was so distracted by Kaleb's eyes that she hadn't noticed the shift in the air. Even though it was slight, Kaleb felt it and knew another immortal was close by.
He looked around nonchalantly and saw a pair of amber eyes intensely staring at them. After a few moments, Kaleb's eyes locked with those of the strangers. He began to shake and Jayla was suddenly jolted back to reality. Jayla knew something was wrong and got Kaleb to focus on her. She looked at him asking with her eyes what she could not form in words. Do you feel the influence of some unknown entity around us? Kaleb said yes with his mind, which compelled Jayla to stand and slowly turn around. Her eyes seemed to go directly to the source of the influence and the same pair of amber eyes that was once on Kaleb now captivated her.
The dreams she'd been having since she was little suddenly flashed in her mind. Jayla didn't understand until she replayed the scenes more slowly in her head. She gasped and returned her gaze to the unfamiliar person who had quickly become familiar. The man grinned verifying what Jayla had discovered. Kaleb was not the only man that had been haunting her dreams since she was a little girl. Those amber eyes had stood in the background of every one of her dreams.
