Dragon's mate novel Chapter 2

“It’s her, she’s the one. My promised one,” Henry thought but couldn’t move a muscle. He just stared in her eyes just like she stared in his. Warm brown pools took him by surprise and caused a storm in his head and a rapid beating of his heart.

His instincts were telling him to grab her fast and just run to his lair, but the last bits of his rational mind knew better. He had to be careful not to make a scene.

He slightly coughed and apologized offering to buy her a new coffee and to take care of her stained clothes but she refused both of them with a look of annoyance on her face, went around him and down the street, and every step took her further and further away from him, from his embrace. He still stood in the same place where she left him, just watching after her until he realized that if he doesn’t move, he will lose her and he couldn’t afford that, not now when he finally found her.

So he started walking after her making sure not to lose her from his sight until he did lose her. Panicking, he started turning around till he caught a glimpse of her inside a building with a big glass door heading towards what seemed like the elevator.

“So this must be where she works…” a small smile crept on his face. Across the street, he noticed a restaurant, and he headed towards it, not caring about the traffic. Horns screamed at him, and tires squealed, but he didn’t care. He had only one goal in front of him, and that was a free table next to the window of the restaurant so that he could watch the entrance of the building across the road.

“Good morning, sir. How may I help you?” the hostess asked him politely.

“Table by the window, please.”

“Of course.”

The hostess led him to one of the tables, and he hurried to take a seat, not noticing the lustful looks she was giving him. At any other moment he would, he was used to them. He knew how women reacted to his appearance, but now he couldn’t think about anything else than his promised one.

“Your waiter will be here shortly to take your order.” the hostess said, but Henry ignored her.
