Mr, Mysterious

    We danced together, after refilling my glass. We laughed and jumped to the beat. I could feel wandering eyes on me, so I looked around. I did not see anyone. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end. It was not unpleasant but made me hyper-aware of being watched by someone. 

I glanced around, then finally my eyes got drawn up. The VIP room had a floor-to-ceiling window view to the dance floor and there stood a man on the railing staring straight through to my soul. He was the most handsome man I had ever seen in my life who was staring through the crowd of party-goers at me. My eyes locked with his, His eyes were lustful and locked on me. 

Sending a shiver down my spine. “Who is that?” I asked Lilly as I jumped to the beat… Nodding for her to look at the VIP room window. A man stood dressed in a black dress shirt half unbuttoned. You could see part of his broad chest he wore black slacks and shined shoes that reflected the light.  His dark sandy colored hair slicked back.

 His blue eyes locked with mine. “MINE,” the voice said in the back of my head. Again, this voice was the same as earlier. “Jesus Christ, Who is that fine specimen?” Lilly said, looking at him with her eyes wide. A seductive smile playing on her lips. We stopped dancing and now both of us were looking up at him. 

A pang of jealousy hit me from her checking him out. My alcohol tolerance was low, and I had already drunk several of these strong drinks. My head was fuzzy, and I was feeling more brave than usual. “I don’t know, but I’m going to find out,” I laughed. I tipped my glass to her and said, “Don’t wait for me,” winking at her.

   I walked away towards the VIP Suite steps. Walking up to the bouncer at the bottom of the steps, I was not sure what I was expecting. The guy had longer dark brown almost black hair pulled back into a low ponytail. I could tell he had a beard and mustache combo 5' o clock shadow starting. a studded diamond earring in his left ear. He was tall and muscled. Wearing a black suit he stood at the velvet rope like a statue. 

His blue eyes were stern looking at me. Walking up I was not sure what to say to him, so I just looked at him. Then the red velvet rope blocking the steps. His eyes glazed over for a moment like he was thinking. His eyes then came back into focus and he looked at me, smiled, gave me a slight bow as he removed the rope to let me pass. I smiled and nodded a thank you as I walked past him.

   “What the hell am I doing?” I thought as I slowly walked up the steps. “This isn’t me” I got to the top of the steps and the VIP door opened automatically, almost like the guy downstairs had told them I was coming up. Another bodyguard stood there wearing a black suit. He, too, had a studded diamond earring; only this guy’s earring was in his right ear. His hazel eyes locked on me. 

His dark brown hair was slicked back like a business professional would. He looks behind him at the handsome man. The handsome man was sitting on the couch alone. The music was muffled, but you could still hear it. “Toney, Let her in,” he said, waving the guard off.  The guard gave me a smile before letting me pass. He then stepped out of the room and closed the door.

I stood in silence just looking at him. My heart was racing. “You can come closer,” he said, patting the seat beside him. I gave a small smile and walked over and sat beside him. He smelled amazing, like a clean fresh waterfall with a hint of cedar. I had no idea how I could smell the scents, but I did and it was very alluring.

 “You were watching me,” I said with a nervous smile touching the corner of my lips. “I was,” he admitted. “Why?”  “Well” he said, setting his glass of whiskey down on the glass table. He looked at me, his blue eyes locking with mine.  "I saw you and something in me screamed I needed to know you,” he said honestly. “What brings you here ms..?” He trailed off in a polite but questioning tone.

 “Aurora,” I said faintly. My eyes raking over him. He noticed my eyes had been raking over him and smiled at me. His K-9 teeth were more prominent than the rest of his beautiful white teeth, but it made his smile very enchanting. I wondered for a moment what it would feel like for him to sensually bite me with them. 

Realizing where my thoughts had taken me, I blushed a little. Everything about this man had my soul on fire. I had never even once thought about Thomas the way I am clearly thinking about this man I just met and don’t even know his name. I cleared my throat and said, “I’m Aurora and you areeee..??” I said tilting my head in question. “Damon,” he said quickly.

   “I saw you watching me from the window and, umm.. Thought I’d come introduce myself,” I said, my voice sounding smaller and less confident than a moment ago. My throat felt dry, so I downed the rest of my drink. Damon smiled and downed the rest of his drink, leaning forward, he touched my hand. Sparks and tingles erupting from his touch across my skin, giving me goosebumps. 

I didn’t react, just sat frozen. For a moment, he looked at our hands in shock, a surprised look in his eyes and he sat frozen for a moment. I wondered if I did something wrong. let out a breath and relaxed, when he used his thumb and started to draw little circles on the back of my hand. 

His touch kept sending ripples of tingles and sparks down my arm. Giving me goose bumps. I was not thinking clearly. His touch was doing something I didn’t fully understand. “Do you want to get out of here Aurora, somewhere mooore…..intimate?” he said softly, a seductive smile playing on his lips.
