He felt a strong internal heat all over his body but he had to control himself with all difficulty. He gritted his teeth angrily, wondering why he felt this way.
It was like his beast wanted to come out...but why?
A scent, so unique and pure filled his senses. It was so strong and very close, Reginald whipped his head in the direction of the source only to be hit by what he saw.
His breath caught and his whole body went rigid. The people around him noticed he wasn't paying attention to them.
"Mr Reginald?"
One called out but Reginald was too engrossed, he ran his fingers roughly through his thick black long hair and tugged hard at it to refrain himself from causing commotion.
He gulped the alcohol from the glass in one go, took another and did the same. He was frustrated and at the same time angry with himself.
When they followed his line of sight and found out who he was staring at, the men grinned mischievously because it seemed like a woman finally caught his attention.
The women got envious and jealous because the lady who just entered the room got almost everyone's attention....even Reginald.
Reginald couldn't refrain himself anymore, he wanted to hold her and bury his nose in the hollow of her neck, he wanted to sniff her pure scent.
He pushed through the men and rushed over to her with a burning desire...he wanted her.
Some minutes ago...
A beauty that could capture any man's heart stepped into the building, she was already causing commotion and she was aware of it. Her wide hips swayed in a way to seduce and it distracted a lot of men.
She had a devious smile on her lips painted dark red. Her lashes fluttered painfully slow, driving men insane.
She was naturally curved at the right places, giving her a beautiful figure 8.
The silk peach shiny gown clung to her body, advertising her natural beauty.
The heels she wore were ten times sharper and higher, making her look taller.
Her hips moved as if she was dancing. Her jet black thick hair cascades down her back, it was full and long, passing her hips.
When she got to the floor the party was being held, eyes slowly looked in her direction. Her alluring smile widened, exposing her beautiful set of white teeth.
A lady approached her, along with a handsome man who was ensnared by her captivating beauty.
"I'm lost of words miss."
He spoke out boldly and wanted to take her hand in his but she was being pulled away into a man's possessive embrace.
Her eyes slightly widened in shock when she was suddenly pulled into someone's embrace. Everyone had a bewildered look.
She tried to distance herself from the person but he held her in such a way that she couldn't break free. His face was buried in the hollow of her neck and she heard his deep intake of her scent.
'What does this man think he's doing?' she wondered.
No one tried to stop Reginald because everything was surprising to them, he never acted this reckless before.
When the lady tried to break free again, Reginald spun her to the tune of the music and brought her back to him again. Her eyes went wide at his audacity, she was totally caught off guard but she quickly schooled her features and played along with him.
But when her eyes met his burning gaze, she caught her breath. She was completely baffled because the man had a wild godly handsomeness.
Reginald couldn't take his eyes off her, he loved how she reacted, her lips were slightly parted and her eyes a bit wide.
Her scent filled his senses and captivated his heart, she smelled like fresh spring...so pure and tempting.
Her eyes narrowed and her lips curved into a smile, surprising him. She looked so dangerous, yet tempting.
He spun her again and this time she flowed with the music so perfectly. He pulled her back to him and leaned her backward in an erotic manner while her left leg clung to his left hip and her dress pulled backward, revealing her bare thigh to onlookers.
Reginald lifted her back up and turned her around so her back rested against his chest while they moved.
People had to give way for them, it was a fascinating scene like in the movies. Men grew envious of how Reginald was able to freely touch her while women wanted to get rid of the bewitching lady in his arms.
She pressed her backside against Reginald's groin and moved in a seductive way and she heard him sigh in want and it gave her satisfaction.
Reginald let his hand touch her knee and slowly slid her dress upward in a teasing manner. She moved forward as if she wanted to run away but he caught her hand and pulled her back, causing her to crash against his broad chest.
She winked seductively at him and whined her waist while going down. It was an excruciatingly slow and erotic dance, the dance was about a couple who wanted to be with each other but couldn't.
It was a dance whereby the female wanted to leave but the male didn't want to let her go, he wanted her all to himself but she didn't want him so she just decided to flirt with him and leave him heartbroken.
"What's your name?"
Reginald's haughty and sweet voice filled her ears. She smirked while still dancing but gave no response which set Reginald on edge, he became agitated and irritated for feeling this way.
The song was about to end and she leaned in as if she wanted to kiss him which turned him on.
But she ended up whispering against his lips which surprised him and left him speechless.
"Find me handsome," and with that she slipped out of his arms and walked away without even glancing at him.
Reginald couldn't move, she paralyzed him and caused him to lose his senses. No one had ever caught his attention like that apart from Amelia, he had never been so easily seduced by any lady.
....who was she?
Reginald followed her hastily, forgetting that people were watching.
The mysterious lady knew he would follow her, so she decided to take a secret routine to leave the building. She didn't want him to get a hold of her again...there was something he did to her that she couldn't explain.
She thought she was a professional seductress, but look who shocked her and left her wanting...a man, not just any man, a damn hottie!
Reginald didn't know how it happened but the next minute she had vanished, leaving no trace behind.
He noticed a luxurious car drive away and he smiled at how cunning she was. She was proving hard to get and he loved chases, he was ready to pursue her.
It won't be hard for him to uncover her identity. Only a snap of his fingers, that's all.

The next day, information about her rested on his desk in his office. He was still restless and wanting, he couldn't get her off his mind and it infuriated him.
She was a dancer, a model, even a fashion designer. She had many awards and brand names, her picture was almost in every magazine.
Her picture alone could make a man burn.
It enraged him when he read what she gained each award for;
The most elegant
The most curvy
The most sassy
The most wanted
A born seductress...
He ran his fingers through his long hair in frustration, he hated how men eyed her...it irked him greatly.
To top his anger, she couldn't be found. It was like she just disappeared after that night. Now he understood what she meant by 'FIND ME.'
It meant 'you can't FIND ME.'
While investigating the issue, his abled men informed him that most of the companies she partnered with said she went on break...a long break, she needed time for herself.
He checked every airport to find out if she registered with any of them but none had a record of her.
Could it be that she used a private airplane?
At least he finally knew her name, it was a Latin name, very sweet to the ears...it sounded like a spell.
VERNA...
Days went to a week and half but he couldn't trace her, she was really good at hiding and Reginald had to give her a thumbs up for that.
Three days was left for him to head back home in time to attend his cousin's coronation.
He got many calls from Spencer and Amelia but he didn't pick. All he wanted right now was VERNA...
Worst of all, she was a fragile human.
How could he convince her to follow him to his home town if he ever found her.
Time moved so fast and he decided to pause his search until he returned. He couldn't afford to disappoint his family again.
He couldn't believe a mere lady could crack him up like this, he couldn't find her whereabouts for almost two weeks.
One night he went berserk, turning his room upside down. His beast was mad at him for giving up so easily.
He shattered glasses and broke a lot of things in pure rage. He vowed within himself that if he should ever get a hold of her he wouldn't let her off so easily next time..
He would lock her up in his room and he wouldn't pity her. She had already done a lot by stressing him out and he wouldn't look at the fact that she was human...he would still claim her.
Now he realized she was his other half, the part he dreaded and didn't want before...HIS MATE.
