Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt as Georgiana Klyne and Raul Winters

*************************************************************

Georgiana Klyne is a gorgeous woman. Her face is perfectly symmetrical. Black glossy hair tied loosely in a bun, purple eyes like my mate's, perky nose and full red luscious lips. She's about five feet nine inches tall, six feet in her heels, slim and toned. She has a pair of breasts that are too big for her frame, but she carries them so well. Her movement is sleek and sensuous. I bat for the other team, but I must admit even I would die to touch her inappropriately. I leaned back into my mate to enjoy the impromptu dance lesson, something's telling me not to miss it.

"Where are you guys," I link my friends.

"Room, reading," says Raven

"Living room watching TV," Serena chimes in.

"Room about to sleep," Roland whines.

"You need to see this, my soon to be sister-in-law is about to give the werecats a dance lesson."

"Right there."

"Not missing that!"

"On my way."

"Argentine Tango is the most sensual dance in the world. It incorporates rhythms, postures, and pauses along the way so you and your partner can feel each other's body. It is very intimate, you hold your partner closely at the hip and chest areas and move as one," explains Georgiana.

"Jeffery?" she nods at him.

"My lady." He bows takes out his cell phone and walks over to the Bluetooth speaker. He presses the buttons on his phone and the whole room fills with the sound of music so sensual we all quieted down. The sound makes me feel like I am in a restaurant in Spain, and the music is playing while crickets chirp to the rhythm of the music with the accordion loud and the bass violin softly playing in the background.

Georgiana walks slowly around the room and stops at the far end to my left. She leans down, and the sudden sound of ripping material changes her conservative red dress to a sexy one. Raul takes off his jacket, rolls up the sleeves of his shirt and majestically marches up to Georgiana. She puts her left hand on his left shoulder and glides around him, gently moving her hand across his back and ending on his chest as she comes around to face him again. Her demeanor changes from a tough badass to a sultry innocent looking woman in a flash.

Raul wraps his right hand around her waist and pulls her hard against him and her hands fall at her sides. He grabs her right hand, holding it up with his left and pulls her closer. She holds onto his other upper arm with her left hand. They look into each other eyes, in a world of their own. I don't know if they remember they have an audience or not. He twirls her around and they move in sync to his left, then his right. Never taking their eyes off each other, he steps back as she steps forward developing a stepping rhythm.

They continue dancing and glide that way to the other end of the room, and they pause as he wraps their hands around her waist resting his head on her shoulders and grazing her cheek with his lips as he lifts his head up.

She looks up at him lovingly, and I think she's going to kiss him. He's breathing from his mouth as if he just ran a marathon. She never takes her eyes off him, her shoulders stiffening, breath increasing, and parting her lips asking for his kiss.

The music ends, they stop and then we hear him whisper "Marry Me?"

"Ask me again sometime," she whispers back.

"As you wish, mi amor."

A round of applause snaps them out of their trance. They bow to their audience.

Georgiana turns to the werecats, "don't do this dance with someone you're not prepared to fuck until kingdom come. Breath mint and deodorant are a must," throws a wave over her shoulders and walks over to us.

"You must be Callum?" she reaches down and gives me a kiss on my cheek.

Still, in a daze, I nod my head, responding "please call me Cal, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Georgiana, your mate's better sibling."

"You're my only sibling." my mate mumbles under his breath.

"Alpha Salim do you have our rooms ready?" The way this woman switches conversations gives me whiplash.

"Yes. My brother, Winter will show you to your rooms."

"Thank you. I'm exhausted and need a fresh glass of filtered blood, Chef?"

"Chilled and ready my lady."

"Good. See you all at dinner."

She walks away with Raul, Freddy and Julian all following Winter, who walks just a tad faster than normal.

"If I wasn't the Alpha, one will think she rules the pack," says Alpha Salim to my mate and I as we all watch them walk away. "Cal, you want to show your mate to his room?"

"Sure."

"Good I'll see you both at dinner."

I take my mate's hand and lead him to my friends who were observing the whole dance thing in amazement.

"These are my friends: Raven, Roland, and Serena," I rattle off pointing to each one as I say their name. "And this is my mate, High Lord Raphael Klyne," I say proudly.

"My Lord, nice to meet you, sir," Roland says with a bow.

"Pleasure to meet my mate's friends," he shakes Roland's hand and nods at Raven and Serena.

Trying to diffuse the charged atmosphere, I tell them I'm taking Rafe to his room and will see them all at dinner.

"He seems nice."

"I like him."

"You don't even know him."

"He shook my hand, no higher up has ever said nice things to me or shaken my hand. He shook my hand."

I take my mate to his room. I had worked with Summer to make sure everything is perfect. I hope he likes it.

I open the door we walk in. I am in awe of how he walks into a room and commands it.

"Smells like you, I like it," he says as he sits down.

"I'm glad you like it. Here's the bathroom, the bedroom, also you have a designated place to work and...what?" I ask when I notice he is looking at me and smiling the whole time. I don't think he heard a word that I said.

"You're so cute, enough of that. Sit, I want to know all about you from the time you were born till now. Tell me everything, especially about your other mate?" he pats the space next to him on the sofa.

That stops me cold. "Oh, you heard about him? What do you want to know?" Dreading having this conversation. How do you tell your current mate that you rejected your first mate? He might think I don't take having a mate seriously.

"Everything, start from when you were younger until now."

"Okay, I was born into the Blood Rose Park, younger of two, my mother died when I was..."

And I told him everything, how I was treated as an Omega. When I met Esme. The abuses we went through. How I started Wood Inc and how Esme always does her best to protect me. My mate rejecting me, and me rejecting my mate. How we left Blood Rose and now in Crimson River Park. Everything. I took a deep breath, turn to face him and he looks furious.

"When I meet Alpha Darric, I owe him a thrashing!"

"That's okay, you don't have to do that, he's no longer my mate."

"Hmm"

"What?"

"Nothing. I must admit that Esme is not that bad. I owe her a thank you."

"Told you so. Now you know about me, tell me about yourself."

Do I let my mate know that both their rejections are incomplete? I know that you must respond and accept a rejection for your bond to break. They are still linked regardless of what my mate believes. And that means everything my mate and I do; his other mate will feel in spades. Oh, my Sun-god, that's wonderful! Alpha Darric you're in for the most tormenting times of your life.

But I don't know if I want to share this amazing man with anyone. I want to be selfish and tell him to accept the rejection to complete the process but what does this mean for that arrogant son of a bitch and I?

"I am also the younger of two children born to Lord Nikolas and Lady Nessa Klyne. I'm forty years old..."

"Forty, you're that old? You look younger," he blurts out, covering his mouth in embarrassment.

Laughing, "thank you I think. I have been waiting a long time for you mate."

"You met my older sister, my niece, my cousin, Julian. I lead the Silvern Clan and it's a tough job. Most of the vampires are law-abiding citizens, but I do contend with a few who relish the old ways and want to hold on to them."

"Old ways?"

"The bygone days of pillaging and killing anyone who crosses your path on a quest to rule the world. The good thing is that almost all the leaders worldwide are moving their clans into the twenty-first century. Our troublemakers are called 'nightwalkers' like your 'rogues'."

"Nightwalkers?"

"They are mostly vampires who were turned and not trained on their new stance, or just plain bad and want to kill as many as are in their way. And some are natural born vampires who have been cast out of their clans. They like your rogues have no allegiance to any clan."

"We're so alike and yet so different."

"More alike than you know. Do you know that your Moon Goddess and my Sun God are siblings?"

"Nooo, way!"

"Yes way," I reply smiling. "They never got along, always fighting, hurting, and trying to one-up each other. Their creator, Ancient One, the one who created all of us really, separated them for eternity. Now the Sun cannot live under the Moon and vice versa. But once in a while he lets them play together hence the total eclipse"

"So, daddy dearest put them on time out and sent them to their room permanently, unh?"

Laughing, I say, "yes something like that."

"I know about the Moon Goddess, tell me more about your Sun God."

"Like your Moon Goddess, he watches over his children. Vampires and witches are his descendants."

"Just like we weres belong to the Moon Goddess. I hope he does a better job of watching over his children," he mumbles.

"And the fairies, pixies all belong to your Moon Goddess."

"Wow, I didn't know that."

"I have a huge library at my home where you can read all about the Ancient One, the Sun God, the Moon Goddess, and all of us, their descendants."

"Thanks, I'll like that. Well, I've got to go. I am meeting my friends to plan our trip to see Esme."

"You're leaving, now? I just got here."

"No, in about two weeks. We have some business issues to iron out."

"Okay, see you at dinner?"

"Sure," he leans over and kisses me.

The first time he's initiated a kiss.

I think I'm making progress.

I watch him walk out of the room and I say another thank you to the Sun god for giving me such a mate.

I walk into Esme store, stagger a little under the incessant buzzing in my head. She steps around her counter and walks towards the set of chairs in the corner of her store. She sits down and motions me to the chair opposite her as if she had been expecting me.

"Finally, we meet, if I didn't know better, I'll say you have been avoiding me these last two weeks."

"Whatever gave you that idea? Is it the fact that my store is always closed when you come roaring by, or that your calls always go to my voicemail or the fact that I didn't show up at the meeting you had the Elders plan just to waylay me? A smart Alpha will get the message that I wasn't ready to meet with you, but we all know you're not that smart now are you Darric?" Esme replies.

"Watch your mouth witch or I'll tear you apart for your insolence."

"Don't make promises you can't keep. Tell me, Darric, I've given you two weeks to grow up, so have you?

Esme and Darric??? What's up with that? And a big thank you to my fellow writers @#SUAW for all the help and suggestions they gave to me for the dance scene. Gracias, you guys rock!!!
