When She Comes

Chapter 8 - Birds Of A Feather

The love of his life...

Prince had so many of these that it was hard to take him seriously with the revolving door of women on his arm. Was she his next protege, a romantic interest, merely a female traveling companion, or somehow a blur of the three. Being the perfect synthesis of male and female, he found himself attracted to different types of women proving himself to be the perfect enigma.

Adding to his shroud of mystery, rarely would he speak about his personal life, and perhaps that's more purposeful than we think. It was easier to think of Prince as a cool ladies man than one who was unlucky in love or made terrible choices in women.

Prince thought he met THE love of his life at least twice with his wives and several hush hush broken engagements. In his mind, each woman moved him into an uncharted territory of consciousness having him believe he had met the one destined to finally call his name.

But those loves were all choices.

Sabine was not a choice, she was someone he couldn't help but be drawn to and that was new to him.

That's what you call a soulmate.

The immediate connection upon meeting Sabine was like a clap of thunder, often unexpected, loud, making you jolt at its sheer commanding presence.

Just seeing her on the Paisley security camera made his head do a double take and heart skip. Upon meeting her after the Gala, it was a crash. Eventually; however, it was their playful flirting, like slow rumbles, that culminated in a boom that rapidly expanded leading to a lighting discharge once he put his lips on her.

Souls often endure many challenges before finding one another, but once they do, they can't walk away. With Prince believing love had entered his life so many times before it caused him to question the feelings he had for Sabine. Being wrong before, his guard was up and all he knew was he had the three Cs for Sabine cosmic, comfortable and yet complex. It's like they knew one another before.

While his heart and soul were preoccupied with Sabine, his body was twisted in chronic pain and myofascial syndrome due to his hip replacement six years ago. Then there were the pills causing all sorts of mental and physical havoc. The quad was conflicted, unable to harmonize and focus completely.

Then came along Sabine, this total stranger filled with information of ominous dreams and pretty looks and a sensual nature that rocked him like a high tension guitar string vibration. It broke his heart to lie to her. His mind could hardly grapple with the need to be honest and please her. But he was famished and had to satisfy his insatiable hunger for that strong connection he hadn't felt with anyone else.

With all of this going on before they met, Prince welcomed the relief to absorb himself with thinking about Sabine the last couple of days and on his drive home from their time together at her loft. Now after spending some actual time together, the celestial message she gave him along with the secrets their bodies whispered, he could think of nothing else.

Those lips were his truth serum, he'd tell her anything she wanted to know. When wrapped in her kisses he was so zen, she was heaven sent, quieting every piece of noise in Prince's head, at least for the moment.

It won't be that easy though as his pole dance with the pills and disease will fight her. Undoubtedly, he will fight her, but eventually, he'll come to know he cannot deny their chemistry and her angelic assignment.

In time, he will succumb and cherish her and that feeling. And when he is well again, she will be coaxed along experiencing the slowest seduction of her life.

While their kiss was not his first kiss, or his hundredth, it was the first kiss he knew had undeniable meaning.

Prince intellectualized himself to be the greatest human force...until her.
