It was the first time I went to the new club. In fact it was the first time I went out since a long time. Although it was mostly frequented by downworlders, they also welcomed mundanes. Sometimes I like to keep my true identity hidden so I came in looking like one. I was lucky to find a seat at the bar from where I could oversee the dance floor. It was overcrowded with bodies moving to the beat of the music.

I had given up the search for that one special love, since because I'm immortal and because almost none of my lovers were, in the 400 years I lived, I had to say goodbye a few times too many. I just wanted to find someone to keep me company for one night or maybe longer in my otherwise lonely life. On the other hand I did hope that one day I would meet someone like me, a soul mate, but for now I left it all to luck. I took a sip from my drink and looked back up. As if he had just appeared out of nowhere a boy stood there seductively swaying his hips. I was immediately mesmerized by him, everyone else seemed to fade around him.

I stood up and slowly moved towards him. He was dressed in black jeans and t-shirt fitting him like they were painted on him. His skin was pale which made his half long black hair stand out even more and his eyes were closed as if he was in a sort of trance. He looked like an angel.

Now I stood in front of him and danced in sync with his moves. He must have felt my nearness and opened his eyes. He looked at me with beautiful bright blue eyes, smiled and came closer until we were only a few inches apart. When he turned his back to me I put my hands on his hips to pull him closer so I could feel his hips moving against me. He leaned against me and tilted his head when I kissed the side of his neck. I kept my left hand on his hips and slid my right hand under his t-shirt gently caressing his stomach. His skin was soft and warm but firm and I felt him shiver under my touch. When the song ended he moaned and turned around facing me. I felt his warm breath against my mouth and when he touched my lips with his tongue I opened my mouth and our tongues met. There was passion in his kiss and he grabbed my hair gently tugging on it. He lowered his hands to my back and I felt his fingers digging in my flesh pulling me even closer . I gasped and tightened my grip until our lower bodies touched and I could feel his arousal. His breathing became heavier. I interrupted our kiss and whispered "Like to continue this at my place?" He smiled and nodded. I took his hand in mine and we went to the exit.

Once outside he took hold of me and we kissed again. When I broke free I was out of breath and said "My name is Magnus. What's yours?"

"I'm Alec. You got wheels? " He had a nice and soft voice.

"Don't need them. I live around the corner." A few minutes later we entered my apartment. I put my arms around him and our tongues and bodies entwined again. We found our way to the bedroom where our clothes ended up scattered over the floor. Smiling he looked me up and down and when he trailed his fingers over my chest it felt as if an electric current was running through my body. I pushed him on the bed and admired his beauty. Broad shoulders, muscular arms and chest, flat stomach, a perfect V and a happy trail leading down to …a wonderful night?

And it was a wonderful night, full of passion, whispering sweet words to each other, knowing each other's body as if this wasn't our first night together, as if our souls were already connected. Exhausted we fell asleep and when I woke up in the morning I was still holding him in my arms. He looked so peaceful. I wished I could wake up like this every morning, looking at him while he was still asleep. He was beautiful. This was not like any other one night stand I ever had. He fits. He could be the one. I wanted him to stay but then I had to tell him what I really am and maybe it would be the end of a relationship before it even had begun. What was I thinking? I found myself hoping he could be my soul mate but he was mortal. At least there was no reason to think otherwise. And again I remembered the pain of losing a loved one. I slowly pulled my arm from under him and traced my finger across his face down to his chin and kissed him on the forehead. He stirred a little bit. I didn't want to wake him up yet so I got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

(Alec)

It was the first time I went out since Daniel died a few years ago. He made me promise I would move on with my life but how could I, I still missed him so much. Today would have been his birthday. I couldn't stand being at home alone right now. Too many memories. I just had to get out. So I decided to go out and I ended up here, a new club, always crowded with downworlders and mundanes and the music was loud. Losing myself in a crowd, just what I needed. After a few drinks I gathered enough courage to join the moving bodies on the dance floor. It felt good. Before I realized it I did lose myself in the rhythm of the music. When Daniel was young we always went dancing. We seduced each other on the dance floor with our sensual moves. Later when Daniel became too old to join me on the dance floor, he just sat there and watched me. I danced for him. He liked that. Suddenly I felt someone was watching me. I opened my eyes and there he stood, looking at me with his golden green eyes. He was gorgeous, an asian type with tanned skin, a few inches taller than me, black hair with glitter and make up on his so special golden-green eyes. I smiled at him and got closer and when I turned my back to him he grabbed my hips. I let him. He kissed the side of my neck. I knew what he wanted when his soft fingers caressed my stomach. My skin tingled and a shiver ran through. I just had to kiss him. I turned around and brushed his lips with my tongue. He opened his mouth and our tongues met. I deepened the kiss and he pulled me closer so our body's almost melted together. I moaned to let him know I liked what he was doing. I was aroused and so was he. He proposed to go to his place. I accepted. It felt good. I wanted…I needed him. At his place we undressed and I admired his body. It was lean but strong. He made love to me and I gave myself to him with all the passion I had been holding inside me for the past years. Afterwards I felt guilty because this was the first night I didn't think of Daniel. Finally I fell asleep in his arms. When I woke up in the morning there was an empty space beside me. Last night had been so special. He was so sweet and nice and I really liked him. Could this be a new start? I hoped so but then I had to tell him the truth, that I'm a warlock. How would he react? I didn't know but I had to risk it. I got dressed and looked in the mirror. I glamoured myself and looked like a mundane again, ready to face him. The smells that came from the kitchen made me realize how hungry I was. After breakfast I would tell him.

I didn't know what Alec would like so I made pancakes, bacon and eggs, toast and fresh orange juice. Just in time he came into the kitchen. "Wow" he said "Smells delicious" and he dug in. He didn't only have a big appetite in bed, I noticed. After breakfast we sat on the couch. Before I could say anything Alec started to talk.

"I normally don't go home with someone I never met before but with you it felt right. And for the first time I didn't think of Daniel. He was my boyfriend and died a few years ago. I've never been with someone else since then. Yesterday would have been his birthday. I couldn't stay at home, too many memories. But it feels as if I betrayed him." Tears welled up in his eyes and he wiped them away.

"I better leave." He murmured and he stood up and walked hesitantly to the door picking up his jacket from the chair where he had thrown it last night.

He was going to leave. I couldn't let him go like this.

"Please stay." I said and walked over to him.

"You want me to stay?"

"Yes." I replied and took him in my arms. I ran my fingers through his hair and kissed him.

"I want you to know I'm here for you if you need me. I think Daniel would've wanted you to move on with your life. And last night was special for me too. I didn't intend to feel this way about you but I just don't want this to end. So please…stay."

"I feel the same way about you but there's something you don't know about me." He said.

"Same here. I have to tell you something and it may freak you out. But I have to be honest with you. Do you believe there are people who are not like everyone else? People who have to keep their real self hidden from the world."

"You mean like vampires and werewolves?" he replied. His answer surprised me but I continued.

"Yes, and uh … warlocks." He startled and I hesitated if I would continue but I had no choice. If I wanted this relationship to work I had to be honest with him. "I am a warlock." I said. I closed my eyes and opened them again, revealing my cat eyes. Holding my breath I waited for his response.

I saw his jaw drop an inch, his eyes wide open, he withdrew his hands from mine and at that moment I thought he was going to run away, screaming. Instead he lowered his head and started to laugh. He leaned over to me and whispered "That's what I was afraid to tell you. " and then he blinked and I saw the most beautiful bright blue feline eyes I've ever seen before. Now it was my turn to startle and stand there dumbfounded. But then we both laughed and I took him in my arms pulling him close so our bodies melted into each other. Our lips touched and all I could think, was…

"Definitely the one"
