Chapter 4: Bewitched at First Sight

Dante shook his head clear and removed the magazine away from his face, jolted by the phone ringing on his desk. He slammed his fist down, causing the phone's receiver to jump into his hands. Damn I'm good! Dante thought smugly.

"Yea?"

"Dante, what are you doing inside my friend?" Morrison asked over the phone and Dante groaned. This better not be a wild goose chase….. "When was the last time you had fun?"

"What I do is fun Morrison…."

"For you maybe, but you're a young buck. When was the last time you went to club and no Love Planet doesn't count…."

"A club?"

"A nightclub." Morrison said. "Young people like you do go to these things."

"And what do you do at them?"

"Dance, socialize….."

"Definitely not my thing…." Dante said with a scoff. Morrison laughed.

"Here's a mission for you, go to Night Escapade. It's the new nightclub that opened. It's classy and perfect for young things like you. Live a little!"

"I'm a bit short on cash Morrison," Dante said as he sat back in his chair. When the door opened, Dante fell over.

"Luckily for you I wasn't far away." Morrison chuckled. "Here you go Dante." He said as he handed Dante a roll of bills. "GO, have fun! I'll watch the place. It's been quiet." Dante looked at the money and weighed the options before he ran upstairs to change, with the man laughing after him.

Dante stopped in front of Night Escapade and whistled. It was not only classy, but it was bustling. Wow, there's a line…I hate these! He parked his car and sighed. Have fun he says….I feel like a dork! He was dressed in a deep red button-down shirt, form fitting black jeans and black low boots. He grabbed his black leather jacket and made his way over. He saw that a few ladies and a few men looked at him but he took no notice. Go in, have a drink then bounce! Dante thought. He was about to stand on the long line when a bouncer came up to him.

"Are you Dante?" He asked. "Uncle Morrison said you'd be coming by."

"Yea, I'm Dante."

"Cool, follow me dude, you're VIP." The bouncer led Dante to the front and opened the way for him. Dante grinned in thanks and walked in.

There was a dance floor, lounging area and a bar! Jackpot! Dante thought with a grin. I'll need some whiskey! He sat at the bar and ordered a whiskey neat and watched the other clubbers. Some were pleasing to the eye but wasn't enough for him to put his drink down. However, after an hour of boredom, he looked up.

The newcomer was also well dressed, in a blue gray blouse top button undone, close fitting charcoal gray pants and like Dante, had low boots, but they were a smoky gray with a hint of blue. His hair was down, and bangs were feathered. Dante was smitten. Holy fuck! I think there's a hole in heaven cause Babe, you fell! Lucky me! The newcomer gracefully made his way to the bar and took a seat, not far from Dante. When their gazes met, Dante felt a pull… and a voice whispering:

Come to me.

Dante rose to his feet, grabbing his drink and carefully made his way over. His mouth went dry, and his heart raced. The newcomer looked at him and then smiled softly. Dante's mind was blown! That smile dazzled him. The newcomer had beautiful green blue eyes and were half lidded.

"Would you, care to join me or stand there all night?" The man in blue teased. Dante nodded, not trusting his voice before sitting down. His speechlessness amused the other man.

"I have seen many marvels in my day but to see one so dazzled into speechlessness is a first."

"I….I'm sorry…I have never…"

"It's a start." The man said with a smile. "I have hoped to see you here."

"You…were expecting me?"

"In a manner." The man said. "I would like you to accompany me."

"Is there a particular reason?" Dante asked. The man looked at Dante then at the dance floor. He gracefully rose from his seat, slowly taking Dante's hand in his own, leading him to the dance floor. Dante gulped and the man laughed softly.

"You're a bit shy?"

"I haven't danced in so long…." Dante admitted as they stopped in the heart of the dance floor and the man gently put his arms around Dante's neck.

"You'll do fine," He whispered. "Just hold me and allow the music to move through you. The rest will follow."

"I…all these people…."

"Just look at me," The man whispered as Dante wrapped his arms around his waist. "Pretend there is no one else here, just us. Right now, they don't matter…" Dante blushed but nodded, pulling the other man closer to him as they danced. He couldn't explain it, but the moment just felt right. His blood sang and his body responded to the other man, who was also pleased. Dante was awed at the beauty, his lips were a dusky rose cupid's bow, eyes closed and with creamy alabaster skin. Dante relished the deadly grace of the body in his arms as they danced. Dante bowed his head into the other man's neck and nuzzled. The soft moan he heard made him grin before slowly running his tongue along the other's neck.

"Ah," The man moaned, not missing a step as they danced. Dante held him closer and there was no hiding the other's pleasure and desire. As they continued to dance, both allowed their powers and auras to rise a bit. Dante's eyes were also half lidded and he leaned forward, capturing the lips of the man before him with his own. They kept it sweet and sensual before gently pulling away.

"I'm sorry I…." Dante blushed. The man gently smiled and pulled Dante down gently.

"I'm not…." He whispered as they kissed again. Dante groaned and after allowing the other to explore his mouth a bit, growled softly and dominated the kiss. His dance partner moaned softly and leaned against the Hunter. When they finally broke away, both were panting.

"Let's leave here and go somewhere more…accommodating." The man whispered seductively. Dante kissed him again and hugged him.

"Wherever you want Babe, I'm yours."

Yes Dante, the man thought as he shivered in pleasure as he led Dante home. You are mine, always.
