She entered the castle, they all were taken into, the grand ballroom. There were so many of them, in the room, she was very nervous. Her heart rate had begun to accelerate, and her hands were tingling. She looked the part thank goodness, she had dressed just right. She had chosen to wear a blue gown, the same color as her eyes. It was sleeveless and mid cut, long and flowing behind her. Her fair skin with freckles on her arms and legs, almost had a glow to it, within the candle lit room. Jen with her long neck had chosen to wear it, without any adornment. She had chosen, a pair of simple blue earrings and a bracelet of diamonds, worn to enhance her gown. All the female guests were in dresses. Of the men, they were wearing, tuxes and ties.
It was a fine evening, and the ball was just beginning. Jenny was so enraptured by it all yet, she was only there on the invitation from, her dearest friend Sarah, and her husband John. She had traveled many a mile, to be there that night.
Jenny knew of Sarah's and John's secret, they were both Vampires, and so were most of the guests, at the ball that night. Sarah had invited them, and created the ball, for several reasons that night. She was celebrating, her recent business success, and showing off her new husband, John.
In a small way it was about Jenny as well, for she was trying to find her a mate. Sarah had hoped, by inviting all her closest single Vampire friends, one of them would connect, with Jenny. She was a dear friend, and wanted her to be a part of her life. For if Jenny, was one with a Vampire, in there secret society, she would be accepted, in her inner circle of friends.
Jenny was excited and hoped, that tonight would be grand. Sarah and John introduced Jenny, to all her male friends. Well at least the ones Sarah thought, she would click with. Jenny, found herself by mid- evening, to be feeling not right and at a break, she decided to go, and get a glass of wine. Jenny found herself on the patio, overlooking the garden. As the cool night air hit her lungs, she began to relax and breathe a bit easier. Jenny felt someone watching and approaching her, she turned around and saw him.
He was tall, about six foot two inches tall, black tux and shoulder length black hair, wavy and natural. He had stunning blue eyes, with a very noticeable grey ring around his irises. He was fair skinned as her, with a bit more color, around the arms and face. He introduced himself, and said, "I am Patrick, and you are"? She was a bit hesitant but, finally spoke to him. He was handsome, and his accent was Irish, she could bet on that one. He commented again, saying," Beautiful night." Jenny agreed with him, and they began a small conversation.
Jenny had told him, how Sarah and herself, had met online, and became fast friends. He did comment, how Sarah was showing, Jenny off, to all her male friends. Jenny was embarrassed now and a bit shy and told him of her single status. Jenny's face had reddened, and Patrick asked about, if she had dated much, Jenny had said, not much. Truth was, she had only been with one male, her whole life.He said that by now, women have many lovers in a lifetime nowadays. Jenny laughed nervously, he moved a bit closer to her, and her pulse began to race.
He touched her hand, very lightly and looked into her eyes. It was a very intimate moment, Jenny felt a tingle in her left hand, always a sign of good luck. Jenny's breathing became deeper, and he noticed, slowly he moved toward her waiting lips. There lips met, a small sensual kiss, and Jenny began to pulse in another area, it was not her heart beat. She sighed, and he heard that too, his eyes this close to hers, looked like they had deepened, a darker blue. A small moan, escaped Jenny's mouth, and he reacted right there.
Jenny's eyes fluttered and he caressed her face, along her jawline. He slid his hands from the sides of Jenny's neck, to her shoulders, then down to her waist. He pulled Jenny in, and kissed her harder this time, more passion, and fire and her body reacted. Jenny curled her hands, around his neck, and ran her fingers into his hair. Jenny opened her lips, and inserted her tongue, to dance with his. He let out a sort of small gravely growl, deep in his throat. Jenny heard it and began, roaming his backside with her hands, and he did the same.
Little did they know it, but a few people were watching this, from the glass doors to the patio. It was Sarah and John of course, she was smiling, she knew it would be him, that finally Jenny would have, someone light her fire.
