out a deposit slip over there,” she said loudly, pointing towards the information counter at the center of the bank. Then she whispered, “I’m about to take my lunch break. I’ll meet you out front.”
The gorgeous stranger didn’t seem to want to leave the counter, but he finally turned to go and headed out the front door of the bank. Jessie heaved a deep sigh. “I’m taking my lunch break now,” she told Tim as she closed her line.
Jessie hurried to the break room and grabbed her purse and sweater before hurrying out the front door of the bank. She looked up and down the busy sidewalk but didn’t see her dream man. Had she been hallucinating? Was this another dream?
She went around the corner towards her favorite café to get herself a turkey sandwich and a massive coffee. Maybe she just needed to wake up and eat something. As she turned the corner she ran smack dab into a brick wall. When she looked up she realized it wasn’t a brick wall. It was a way too warm and way too delicious smelling to be a wall.
She took several steps backwards and looked up at the giant of a man staring down at her. It was him, dream guy.
“You must come with me, my setina, ” he said, taking her by the hand. She was so dumbstruck by the inexplicable probability of a man looking exactly like the guy she’d been dreaming about for weeks to show up at work and want to take her somewhere that she just followed without a word.
Chapter Two
After a few blocks, and passing her favorite café, she snapped out of her stupor and dug in her heels. “Where are we going?”
“We are going home,” he said, turning to her and enfolding her in his arms. The guy must’ve been seven feet tall. He was like some kind of huge basketball player crossed with a football player. He had dark cropped hair and shining black eyes that seem to shift colors in the light.
“Where is home? And why should I go there with you?” she said. She wanted her words to be more harsh, but instead they came out wistfully with a hint of longing. She really did want to go with him, even though it was crazy to go home with a strange guy who just showed up at work and demanded she go home with him. Seriously, that was crazy. Who did that? He could be a serial killer or an Amway salesman.
“I will explain everything. But, first we must go somewhere private so I can get you to my ship.”
“Ship? Are you like a pirate or something,” she said, snorting.
“No my sweet setina , I am not a pirate. I am the lord of my world, and you will be my queen. I have waited many years to find you. And now that I have, I will do everything in my power to fill your life with pleasure.”
Jessie giggled again, batting her almond-shaped blue eyes. She put her hand on her round hip and smiled. “Wow. That sounds nice. But really ‘the lord of my world,’ are you in some kind of cult? Am I being brainwashed?”
He looked at her, aghast. “I would never do such a thing to my setina . But we must hurry. The mating impulse is coming on strong. I will explain everything. Just come with me, now.”
He gripped her hand and walked quickly down the sidewalk. Jessie could barely keep up. She was almost at a run just keeping up with his walking strides. She was about to protest when he ducked into a dark alley and gathered her in his arms.
“Wait a minute,” she said, but by the time she knew what was happening, she didn’t even remember that she’d said it.
Blinking rapidly, Jessie took in her new surroundings. She was in a room, surrounded by what looked like floating holograms. The man still held her close to his chest as she craned her neck around to look over her shoulder. She gasped and pulled out of his embrace, turning to get a better look at what was behind her.
She looked out a tall, wide window that showed a massive picture of Earth spinning far below. WTF? She must be dreaming. She glanced back at dream guy and then looked out the window again.
