“Amanda.” the voice whispered, as if on the breeze that wafted in through the open window.
Amanda Lowell lay tangled in the sheets of her bed, the breeze trickling down her naked back and dancing down her bare thigh that was thrown over a plumped pile of covers.
“Amanda.”
This time her name registered in her sleepy mind and she began to stir. Slowly she opened her eyes and surveyed the moonlight splattered room. No one was there. Was it only in her mind that she heard her dream lover call her name?
Then, across the room the large full length mirror began to glow with an earthreal light, pale at first, but then growing in intensity.
“Amanda my love, come to me.” the voice beckoned.
As if entranced, Amanda rose naked from her bed; her long auburn tresses tumbling down to gently tickle her bare bottom. Reaching the mirror she lifted her hand and gently touched her fingertips to the glass.
Suddenly the light blazed around her. She could see nothing but the white fire that did not burn. Her heart raced as she felt her body being pulled forward. As the light faded, Amanda found herself on the other side of the mirror in a bedchamber that was not her own. Looking around the room she took in the massive four post bed, the crackling fire, the over stuffed chairs, the stone walls and all at once her eyes locked onto the purely masculine gaze that met hers from the shadows.
“Welcome Amanda.” his honeyed voice poured inside her and warmed her in the deep, secrete places of her body as he slipped into the firelight. “I have been waiting so long for you.”
Amanda’s eyes drank him in. Tall, muscular, dark. He stood before her, dressed only in tight black breeches that barely concealed the straining bulge that pressed for freedom. His bare chest, lightly dusted with dark hair begged her fingers to touch. Her eyes slid up and onto the face of the man who had haunted her dreams. The man her sleeping mind had given herself to again and again.
“Wh…Who are you?” she stammered.
“Amanda, I’ve loved you in your dreams countless times. It is time that I love you in your flesh.” he said stepping closer and closer. She could smell the raw sensuality of his dusky skin. She ached to be in his arms.
“You are my Nathaniel? But how? How is it possible?” she searched his soulful brown eyes for answers and saw his unrestrained lust, his need to take her.
Holding out his arms Nathaniel said “You will receive all your answers in time my dear. But for now, come let me hold you. Let me love you in your flesh and truly make you mine.”
