What's Going On?

BLAZE*

What the hell is going on? I thought to myself as I woke up in a room I had never seen before. I blinked a few times so my eyes could adjust. I’m freaking out for sure. I can’t seem to get my bearings. Once my eyes adjusted, I saw a woman lying in a bed I had never seen before. I looked down to see that I was half naked in only my black boxer briefs. I took in a big gulp of air and held it for a moment until I got dizzy and let it out quietly, so I wouldn’t wake her. I had to get out of here. How did I get in here in the first place?

I used to sleepwalk when I was younger and into my teens. I guess I’m back to that. It’s the only explanation for why I’m standing here in my underwear. Fuck, I probably look like a creeper standing here close to this woman's bed. I glanced to see that a lamp was on her nightstand that casts a faint glow of light, allowing me to see her room. 

I still couldn’t recognize where I was, and it wouldn’t take too much effort to get to her door without waking her. However, the door is shut. That would be my only issue.

I looked back at the woman lying in bed to ensure that she was still asleep and got entranced by how beautiful she was. She is fucking captivating beyond words. Her thick, long, red hair traced the curves of her face and dipped between the swell of her breast, which made my cock jump in my underwear. Fuck I needed to get out of here.

 “I wonder what color her eyes are?” I thought to myself before looking around her room some more. 

Once I could take in my surroundings, I noticed the familiarity of the room; and realized I had been here before. Then I was even more confused as to what was going on. I pinched myself, and a shudder went through my body when I realized this wasn’t a dream. 

I started freaking out even more over that. Suddenly I felt the pull to be nearer to this woman. I walked closer to get a better look at her when suddenly her eyes burst open. I froze in my tracks, unable to move any closer. 

Her eyes roamed down my body, and my cock twitched as her eyes landed on the bulge growing in my underwear. 

“Down boy, we are so about to be going to jail. Don’t do this to me,” I thought to myself. 

Her gaze traveled back to my eyes, and I almost passed out. I have never seen such mesmerizing emerald green eyes in my life. I took a deep breath and tried to look away, but I couldn’t. She held me in a trance.

A sudden flash of our possible future flashed before my eyes. It was strange, but at that moment, I knew this woman was my soulmate, and I would spend the rest of my life with her.

It was as if I could feel this woman on me, but we weren’t touching. This isn’t real; it couldn’t be. The woman before me gasped, and I realized that she must be feeling what I was feeling. I felt a pull like an invisible cord was pulling me to her. I desired to be closer to her, and I needed her.

Her mouth dropped open, and her eyes grew wide. I could sense recognition in them, and I could feel her soul reaching out to me. A raging inferno was building up inside me, and my cock instantly became fully erect.

An electric current flowed through me, and all I felt was the need to have this woman wrapped around me and my cock buried deep inside her depths.

I knelt before her and gazed into the deep abyss of her sparkling emerald eyes that had grown hooded and darker. I reached up and caressed her silky pale skin, and she was even more breathtaking than I initially thought. I worked desperately to hold myself together, to keep from ravishing her the way I wanted to. A spark ignited as I touched her. If nothing else, I needed to kiss her.

“This is fucking insane. I don’t even know how I got in here. I used to sleepwalk when I was younger, and I’m guessing that’s what happened. I haven’t the faintest idea what’s going on. I feel drawn to you, though. Like the universe heard my prayer tonight or something. I rambled on about what I wanted in a woman and passed out. Then I woke up here,” I said as I stared deeply into her gorgeous eyes. Confusion came over her features, and my body tensed.

“I mean…” Fuck I’m screwing this up big time, but I can’t seem to form the right words. She seemed patient enough to go with what I was saying, so I decided to keep going. 

“I have a feeling that you are mine. I can’t explain it. I promise you that I’m not a crazy perv. I have yearned for you for so long. My relationships in the past have been so good and then went to shit every time. So many years pining, just to get cheated on time and time again. But that’s beside the point. I have yearned to find my soulmate for so long, and I feel it in my bones that you are the one I’ve been waiting for. I need you,”

My voice was rough, but I couldn’t help it. My gaze drifted to her plump crimson lips, and she reached up to run a hand through my short hair and trailed her free hair down my jawline. The burning inferno that engulfed me before consumed me further at the touch of her soft, cool hands.

“You aren’t crazy. What you're talking about, well, I did the same thing tonight. Except for me, I was asking for what I wanted in a man. I fell asleep and woke up to you standing above me,” her angelic voice came out in a squeak. I could tell she was nervous as she tried to shrug it off. I could hear the yearning behind the nerves.

“I know nothing about you, but I feel like I do somehow. Maybe we have met each other before,” she said, her voice coming out more smoothly as she placed a hand on my chest.

My heart was beating a mile a minute at a frantic rate, and I thought it might pound through my rib cage. My mind and body were betraying me. I should have run for the hills, but I realized that I would never be able to leave this woman. 

I was scared and confused. The heart doesn’t lie, and my heart is pounding for this woman before me. She raised her hand to my cheek and stared lovingly into my eyes.

She ran her fingertips through the stubble of my jawline and gave me a smile that had me on edge. I might come right now without ever having a chance to be inside her.

LYRA*

I’m brought out of my dreamless sleep by feeling a presence in my room. A masculine scent invaded my nose. Did Steven come back to apologize? If so, why would he just be standing there? I couldn’t remember if I locked the door after slamming it in Steven’s face. Another whiff of this person’s scent hit me, and I realized it couldn’t be Steven. Steven has always smelled like citrus, and this person smells more like the woods. His scent is intoxicating.

Even with my eyes closed, I could feel the intense force of his gaze on me. At first, fear coursed through me, but I stayed still. I didn’t move an inch. I could hear the rapid beating of my heart as it rang in my ears.

I couldn’t explain what happened next because nothing was making sense, but suddenly a mysterious calmness consumed me. I felt safe like this person would never hurt me.

I heard him as he approached me quietly as if he was trying to keep himself from waking me up. I couldn’t wait any longer to see who was by my bedside. I quickly opened my eyes, and he stopped and didn’t move a muscle.

I’m glad I forgot to turn off my lamp, or I wouldn’t be able to see. My eyes adjusted to the light, and a half-naked man I’d never seen before was standing there. What’s going on? I thought to ask him how he got into my room or in the house, but I decided against it and went on ogling him instead.

Why the hell not, right? The man was standing there, watching me for quite some time. No harm, no foul, right. The light glistened off his nicely tanned skin, and I was enchanted. He is the most handsome man I have ever seen in my entire life. He has to be over six feet tall. He’s lean with perfectly cut muscles. He’s like a freaking Greek god or something. This man was perfect, and I was slowly coming undone just by the sight of him.

He doesn’t have much chest hair, which is a plus in my book for sure. I don’t much like hairy guys. He has a gorgeous six-pack, a line of hair spans from his belly button to his boxer briefs. MMM is perfect for grazing and tickling him in foreplay. Man, I would love to kiss and suck on that until I reached his dick.

I could see the growing bulge in his briefs, and heat ignited my cheeks and body. I hoped that he wouldn’t notice. Intense heat radiated through my core, and a slight trickle of fluid gushed from my core. I shifted my gaze back to his handsome face, taking in the five o'clock shadow on his squared, chiseled jawline, full perfect red lips, and his narrow nose.

My gaze wandered back up to the most hypnotic sapphire blue eyes I had ever seen in my life. He has to be wearing contacts or something. Eyes that shade don’t exist. I’m being drawn into them like a moth to a flame. Something strange flashed before my eyes, and I felt like I had known this man all my life. Nothing seems to make sense because this man before me is a stranger.

A peculiar emotion I couldn’t understand grabbed and tugged at my heartstrings. My heart began to beat even faster than it was already pounding. It seemed like I could see into the depths of this man's soul somehow. I wonder if he is feeling what I’m feeling? Judging by the steady rise of his shaft, I’m guessing he is feeling every bit of what I’m feeling right now.

My breath caught in my throat as I gazed from his shaft back into his mesmerizing blue eyes. Tingles cascaded through my whole body from my head to my toes, which made my core spasm. This man was going to make me come just by looking at him.

Why the hell won’t he come closer to me. I can feel his soul force as his soul cries out to mine. This is so insane, and I can’t think straight. I thought my eyes would pop out, and I couldn’t help my jaw from dropping as another gasp left my lips as he knelt before me and caressed my cheek. I was hypnotized further by his gaze boring into my eyes.

He started stammering in a deep rough voice, and I could tell how nervous he was.  His eyes were pleading with me to understand what he was trying to say to me. Poor guy, but the crazy thing was, I did the same thing he did tonight. I couldn’t help but look at him, confused as I tried to figure all of this out. I smiled at him, so he would know to keep on telling me his side of the story.

After he explained how he had sent out a plea to the universe, as I myself had done, his gaze shifted to my lips. Please, kiss me. I would love for him to kiss me right now; I would go crazy. It was as if a static charge ignited when my fingertips touched his smooth, warm skin. I kept my eyes focused on him as I told him I had sent a plea to the universe. I couldn’t help but shrug my shoulders, hoping that would make up for my shaky squeaky voice.

I have nothing else to say at this point. All I know is I wanted this man to kiss me, touch me, and be inside me. I will give all of myself to him. I should be scared. I mean, this man is a total stranger. But I’m not afraid. I know for a shadow of a doubt that he is my soulmate.

Love, at first sight, is a thing. It has to be because I love this man. All I could do was stare lovingly into his eyes and smile. Man, if he doesn’t kiss me soon, I might spontaneously combust.
