The rest of the world falls away. I walk quickly, breaking into a trot, hurrying across the short distance, closing in on him with my intensity. I'm wild-eyed, asking the unspoken question.

His gaze is as thunderous as mine is my wild, matching my intensity.

As his strong, confident, godlike gait brings him to stand only inches from me, he looks down on my face, but he doesn't touch me.

I can feel his magnetism is turned on high like in the elevator.

I can feel his body heat radiating, washing over me, making my whole being tune in to him, uncontrollably drawn like the flower following the sun.

His thunderous emerald green controls my crystal green wildness.

It takes every ounce of willpower I possess not to throw my arms around him, to submit myself to being owned by him.

My body begins to quiver from the battle raging inside of pure passion for him and the passion necessary to resist him.

"Breathe, baby. Breathe with me, My Sweet, Wild, Every Thang." He leans down and touches his lips with mine in that gentle, soft, yet firm way that makes me melt, and he blows his breath in my mouth. I inhale his essence and breathe him into my soul … forever.

As the song ends, our eyes connected, our breathing synced, I find the center of myself.

I know this truth. There will only ever be Aurelius for me.

Lionel Richie, "Do It to Me" starts to play, and Aurei presses his body to mine, electrifying me. He starts to sway to the music, and my body instantly responds and matches his movements. He has perfect rhythm and fluid movement. Of course, he is perfect in every way.

We become one with each other and one with the music as we sway together.

He dips his head down to my ear and sings softly. "You're a Bad Thang. Standing here … alone." The tone of his voice is like butter. Smooth, silky, perfect! "You look so damn good to me."

I get chill bumps from my ear all the way down to my toes. My nipples harden, wanting his attention.

He sings. "Put your arms around me, Siri."

I hand them to him.

He lays one on his shoulder and holds the other one to his chest as he sings. "You've set me on fire."

I can feel his heart beating as we sway in each other's essence.

He sings. "You put a spell on me. Did you know you set me free?"

I look into his eyes, and they tell me I'm the most beautiful girl in the world.

He smiles at me with the sexiest smile, and my body flushes hot for him. "You know what my heart desires. Your blue heart, baby." The corners of his eyes crinkle just a little. "I can't deny you."

My eyes twinkle up at him.

As Lionel sings the chorus to us, Aurei cups my ass, lifting me so I am light on my feet and pulls me tight to him. His erection presses into me, and my face touches his chest. I close my eyes and inhale deeply the essence of Aurei.

He takes a step; I instinctively match it, then open my eyes to see him smiling at me. "Dance with me, Siri." He pumps twice in that direction, then pulls me back and pumps twice, then we spin. He leads, and I follow, moving around the dance floor.

You are the sexiest dance partner I've ever had.

He sings to me with his deep voice and rich tone as we dance, looking so sincerely into my eyes. "You are the girl of my dreams. You're my Every Thang. You put a spell on me, Siri. Did you know you set me free?"

Oh … I'm falling… into the abyss of bliss.

He pulls me tight when we spin, humming into my ear. Our bodies match perfectly. "You set me on fire." He whispers. "You are mine."

We dance the entire song with him singing to me, changing the words slightly to make them perfect for us.

"Do it to me. Once? No, over and over. I can't get enough of you.

I'm no fool. I know exactly what I'm feeling.

We have the reason why. Give us a chance to try.

Knowing, Baby, you won't hurt me. Oh yeah.

" He stops, and we sway again as he holds my eyes captive.

"Do it to me without goodbyes, and I'll give you everything.

Even my heart. You do it to me, Siri. I can't get enough of you.

Let me give you more of Moore and more with Moore. "

"Oh, Aurei!" I start to shake.

He wraps me in a tight hug, burying me within his strong arms. I hear his words of assurance rumble in his chest as my face presses against his heart. "I got ya! I get ya!"

My Fucking Golden God! Aurelius Moore! I am yours forever!

He holds me, swaying slowly until the shaking is gone. When I snuggle in closer, I hear the muffled sound of another song as Aurei hums. Curious, I pick my head up to hear, and he loosens his hug. Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake are singing, "Love Never Felt So Good."

Aurei tips my chin up and kisses my eyes. "Do you know what time it is?"

"No." I smile and sigh with a dreamy expression up at him. "Time has stood still. I don't care what time it is."

He kisses my forehead and wraps his arms back around me. Burying my face in his chest again, I feel his heart beating against my cheek as we sway to the song, and it feels so natural to be here like this.

"You don't care that it's been 24 hours since we had our first forever? Well, I do. Siri, it's been the happiest day of my life."

My feet freeze.

My body stiffens.

My heart stops.

I am breathless.

Stunned by his words.

My eyes slam shut.

He chuckles. "Breathe, Baby Thang."

My heart squeezes itself in my chest as tears well up in my eyes.

I roll up on my tiptoes and bury my face in his neck, hugging him tightly.

"Oh, My Fucking Golden God! I cannot believe the emotion and passion coursing through my veins for you, and it's only been 24 hours!

" I kiss his neck and say with my mouth pressed against his skin. "Aurei, do you believe in soulmates?"

"Soulmates?" He draws away, clarifying my muffled question.

"Yes." I release my hold just enough to speak clearly, and when I start to speak, he listens intently.

"According to Greek mythology, humans were created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces.

Zeus feared their power and split them into two separate beings, condemning them to spend their lives searching for their other halves. "

He kisses my forehead. "You are such a Special Thang.

" He pauses, considering my question with genuine sincerity, giving my comments on Zeus ample digestion before he speaks.

"I believe we have souls." He slides one hand into my hair, and the other he slides down my arm, pulling it off his back until he slides his fingers between mine, bonding us together in his sexy, sensual way.

"Siri, there is a strong, undeniable connection between us.

I felt it the first time I saw you. You were perfection in motion.

It was incredible!" He shakes his head. "Then when your eyes finally touched mine, you pierced me deeper than anyone has ever done before.

" He squeezes me. "It's like you saw into me.

I was startled, but I knew this something between us goes beyond physical attraction.

" He lifts my chin and gazes into my eyes.

"When I look into your eyes, I find all that is good in me, and being with you is as natural as breathing.

" He kisses my hair. "Do I believe in soulmates?

It sounds, so cliché to put it that way. But now I do."

"I have always believed there was this one special man out there for me. That's why I waited."

"I'm glad you waited."

"I knew you would find me."

He chuckles. "When I found you in Vegas, I knew I had to have a fucking relationship with you, so I negotiated for an exclusive session, but I had to wait.

Someone is a workaholic." He winks that killer wink at me, and I giggle, loving this little confession.

"By the way, your security detail is tough to crack.

" I giggle again, and he smirks. "Finally, my scheduled date came around, and I was going to seduce you and make you mine.

I couldn't wait to look into your eyes." He stares into mine now, and I feel his power, his magnetism, drawing me down further into his abyss.

He smiles that winning smile and says. "Then you fucking vanished.

" I drop my eyes and chuckle. "I was devastated, Siri, but more determined than ever to have you.

" He squeezes me. "Then you were delivered to me.

" He laughs. "In a perfect way. When you walked across the parking lot, I couldn't believe it was you.

Then you flashed your perfect pussy at me, and I saw stars.

I knew then that I wanted more with you. I wanted to win your heart."

He takes his finger and circles the heart hole in my halter.

The touch of his skin on mine sends an electric current flowing through me, and tiny goosebumps radiate out.

He takes my hands, and kisses them, then standing in one place, moving to the rhythm, doing a sexy side-to-side rock, he spins me, twirls me, and holds my hand while I dance a sexy salsa step for him.

When he drops his arms around me to sway again, I say. "You know, you are a fantastic dancer! By far, the sexiest dance partner I have ever shared the floor with. And that's saying something, trust me on that."

I feel his body tense.

"It's been a long time since I danced." He confesses.

"I know you enjoy it?"

"Yes, I do. Very much." He pauses, then takes a deep draw of air. "I had a fantastic teacher."

"Who?"

"My Nonna taught me. She was the last person I danced with."

"Why?"

He doesn't answer.

I pull away to study his face. There is pain in his eyes. I ask softly, "Aurei, what happened?"

"She died of a heart attack as we walked off the dance floor. I saw her crumple."

"Oh my … I am so sorry!" I murmur, putting my face in his chest and holding on to him for dear life.

"It's ok, Sweet Thang." He kisses the top of my head. "She died the way she lived. Happy because she was dancing." I kiss his chest over and over, totally understanding that. "But I haven't danced again because I haven't wanted to dance with anyone else…. Until you."

"Aurei, I'm speechless ... and I am so honored!"

We sway in silence as the song winds down, then we say at the same time, "This never felt so good," making us both burst out laughing.

We walk off together, arm in arm.
