Read Soul-Mate (Immortal Love 1) for Free Online Page A

and breathtaking soul-mate. She was also really mysterious and full of surprises, which left me feeling impressed and intrigued. She was growing on me. Destiny or not, Annabel was everything I’d ever dreamed of in my soul-mate. Nevertheless, I needed to fix that loneliness and sadness that was making her close her heart to me. I wanted to protect her and keep her safe from the world, but I had to take it slower so as not to scare her away. The problem was that I couldn’t take my hands off of her. I just wanted to hold her, smell her, and get lost in those silky lips.
    The food was ready, the wine was opened to breathe, and candles were sizzling in orange and yellow. The fireplace was burning and warming the room. I even had on soft music for background noise. The full moon was beautiful that night, the view perfect to watch the stars from the balcony.
    I had a million questions for her. I wanted to know everything. On the other hand, though, I just wanted to eat, drink, kiss her, and take her to bed so I could spend all night making her mine. She would be so loved that she wouldn’t be able to leave me or sleep with another man.
    I wanted her, and I’d sure made that clear all over town that day. I’d noticed James’s surprised eyes when I arrived there with her and touched her to make it clear that he couldn’t even think about seducing her. That school teacher was mine and off limits to him. I knew the sick bastard he was, seducing human teachers who went there to work. He had probably chosen Annabel because of her looks.
    I had a really pretty and intelligent soul-mate. No matter how she looked, I would think that she was hot and sexy. We were born to be together. We matched. She laughed at my jokes! That was always a good sign. I was still mesmerized by the fact that I had found her. My heart was threatening to stop beating if for some reason I were to lose her or scare her away. The pressure was real, and being apart from her was already making me feel lonely and sad.
    It was eight o’clock, and I fixed my collar again. I was dressed to impress with a white Boss shirt and dark suit pants. I’d even shaved. I wanted that night to be perfect, but I was getting nervous, because Annabel insisted on being left alone in her motel room before coming to my home at eight. However, the road could be tricky, and she could have gotten lost. Or she could have just run away and I would never see her again. I was beginning to get paranoid.
    The doorbell rang, and I went flying to open the door. And there she was. I almost stopped breathing when I saw her in that beautiful red dress that hugged her perfect curves, with a sexy heart-shaped neckline. She had stunning breasts and beautiful long hair that was elegantly curled. Her makeup was soft but appealing, highlighting her lips and eyes. I had a serious fascination for her red lips. Her mouth was just made for me to kiss it. It also pleased me the way her eyes lit up at the sight of me.
    On the other hand, I was shaking like a school boy on his prom night. I remembered all my dates. All of those girls weren’t nearly as hot and beautiful as Annabel was to me.
    “You look amazing.” That was all I could manage to say after what seemed like ages staring at her in silence.
    “You look very sharp and―”
    “And?”
    “Different,” she said with a smile, looking a bit embarrassed. “You look gorgeous, too.”
    I smiled, flattered by the compliment made in her sexy, sweet voice. I loved everything about her. I was doomed to worship her for life. Not doomed, no—I was blessed. The gods had blessed me with her.
    “Come on in,” I told her, aware that it was freezing outside and she was in a sleeveless dress.
    Annabel stopped at the entry, amazed by the décor, her eyes lingering on the scented candles on the table. “How could you possibly have had time to do all this?”
    “Do you like it?”
    “It’s amazing,” she whispered, sounding really surprised. “And it
