Lust of the Light

Lust

    Alora's POV

    I walked up to the club, I had never heard of a nightclub, but it seemed like fun.  The sign said "Lust" above the building. Alice told me we needed to get there early to get in so we could stay until the sun came up.  Apparently these humans liked to dance a lot, I couldn't wait to show them my dances the angels did back home when we were praising.  

    The club smelled funny, but I didn't know what it was.  Alice assured me it was normal for these places to smell, well, not Heavenly.  We were fifth in line when a few boys walked in and cut everyone.  "Oh come on!  I hate when people can just walk right in because they know someone!  We need to get connected with the bouncers here."  I had no idea what she was talking about and why we couldn't just wait patiently for our turn.  I was also shocked she used the word hate, it was forbidden to use back home.  

    We finally reached the front and they asked to see our ID's.  I was briefed on things like this before I left and they told me it was something that identified who you were.  I opened my wallet and pulled out the plastic Michael had given me to use.  The man called a bouncer looked from me back to my ID a few times before nodding.  We walked in and I instantly felt nervous.  The lights were flashing and the music was so loud I couldn't hear my own thoughts.

    Men and women were on a large floor together rubbing around on each other.  I felt like I was intruding on a private moment and needed to look away.  Maybe this is what people did when they found their soulmate?  I followed Alice and Claire through the crowd of people.  Men kept smiling at me on the way, but I felt nervous after what happened earlier.

    We stopped in front of a table and I stood beside Alice.  She told the girl working to get something and I looked around at all the people.  Alice and Claire were bouncing with excitement that they were here, but it didn't seem like a fun place to me.  I would rather go read by a river or take a nice bath.  I was listening to them talk when I saw both of their eyes widen at something behind me.

    I turned to be faced with the most gorgeous man I had ever seen.  He was almost other worldly his beauty was so astonishing.  He had hair as black as a raven and it swooped slightly over his eye.  His eyes were a dark sapphire blue and it was hard to look away.  His skin was pale, but had a sun kissed tan to it.  He wore a black leather jacket with dark jeans and a white v-neck shirt underneath.  He had black boots that were lazy unlaced with his jeans tucked in them.  His ears had diamond studs in each ear and he wore a small silver chain with a pendent around his neck.  His wrist had a large black watch and rings on multiple fingers.  I could see he had a silver ball on his tongue though I didn't see what that could be for.

    He smiled and his teeth were as white as the clouds.  I couldn't help but swoon at his big grin and the way he winked as he said, "Hello there gorgeous, drink?"  He handed me a cup with some sort of purple liquid.  It smelled fruity so I took it.  There was a lighter color in the bottom and when I put it to my lips it had a strange smell.  

    "I'm Draven, and who are you besides the most beautiful girl in the room?"  I giggled and heard my friends laugh behind me.  "My name is Alora, it's lovely to meet you."  I held out my hand and he took it in his before leaning down to kiss it.  The second his skin touched mine I felt as if I had been burned.  I noticed he jumped back a bit so maybe he felt it too?  His eyes widened as he looked back up at me.  "I would love nothing more than a dance with you."  I nodded, "I would love to just excuse me for one moment?"  

    I walked closer to my friends, "I don't think they dance here like they do back home, what should I do?"  "Alora, that is the hottest guy I have ever seen.  He does have a reputation with girls, but they can't get enough of him.  I've seen him sneaking out of girls dorms in the mornings and he comes to the clubs pretty often.  I mean don't plan on marrying him, but why not have fun?"  Claire shrugged and I nodded in agreement with her.  I can do this and still be pure.

    He held out his hand and I placed mine in his instantly feeling the same warmth.  He led me to the middle of the dance floor where he placed his hands on my waist.  He put my arms around his neck sensing my uncomfortable state.  He pulled me closer by placing his hand on my back until my chest was touching his.  I had never been this close to a man and I felt a strange sensation.  He began to sway his hips and move his hands around my body slightly and I moved in rhythm with him.  This was okay right?  He smiled at me at I felt like I was in a trance, I couldn't look away.

    Soon Claire and Alice were beside us dancing with guys.  The one with Alice high-fived Draven and it was clear they knew each other.  I closed my eyes and twirled, I had drank all of the purple drink and it seemed to make me less nervous though I couldn't figure out why.  Draven pulled his face down to mine, he was tall but so was I.  I could feel his hot breath on my face and he had sweat coming off of him.  He took his jacket off revealing a tattoo on his bicep.  He spoke so close to my mouth I felt the urge to be even closer, "Do you want to get out of here? I want to be with you in private."  I nodded and Alice and Claire gave me a thumbs up as we walked off the dance floor.  The second we hit the alleyway he pushed me against the brick wall and grabbed my face and kissed me.  I felt every nerve in my body come alive and held onto his him to steady me.  I had never been kissed like this before and I liked it.
