different than anything else this town has ever seen, and so it is imperative that the mystery remains until opening night.”
“Understood, and I agree. You have something very unique here, and the more secrecy we have surrounding Eternity, the more successful it will be. Do you have a guest list prepared, or do you want me to invite all the ‘who’s who’ in town?”
Sebastian handed her a printed sheet, “Actually, we had already spoken to the mayor, and he gave us a list of the town’s ‘who’s who.’ You can send the invites from this list.”
“May I have a copy of the list? This would save me some time.”
“No problem.” Christian went over to his desk and picked up a folder and brought it back to the table. He opened it and handed her several sheets of paper.
“Here is some information on the rooms for the party. We have some staff already, and more will be arriving in the next few days. All of us will be more than happy to help in any way to make sure this is a huge success. We are hoping that you’ll be here for the opening as well, Gwendolyn.”
Engrossed in the notes she was making, it took her a few seconds to realize what he had said. Looking up from the laptop, she saw those eyes on her again. She resisted the urge to squirm in her seat, and instead sat up a little straighter before answering.
“Of course. I’m always at the parties. I’ll be making sure it all goes off without a hitch. But it should definitely be a very interesting evening.”
Sebastian, she puts on a good front. She comes across so strong, but yet, I can feel her uncertainty. She is a conundrum, our Gwendolyn.
True, Christian. But I can also feel her excitement. She is definitely intrigued. We have to make sure it is a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
“But for now I’m afraid I do need to get going. I have a rather full schedule today, and I need to get back to the office.” Standing, she packed up her laptop and all the paperwork.
Sebastian answered first. “It was our pleasure to have you here today, and we look forward to our continued association.”
“Yes, we do,” Christian echoed.
“See you tomorrow, then. I think I can find my way out.”
Back at her car, Gwen couldn’t get them out of her mind. Deep blue sapphires and smoldering dark chocolate—she’d never seen eyes like that before, and it wasn’t just their gaze, either. The power that radiated from them was incredible. And then there was that damn dream. As ridiculous as all of this sounded, she couldn’t help but think that the dream and this meeting today were linked, and none of this was a coincidence.
Chapter 3
Once Gwen had pulled away from the front of the brownstone, both men heaved a sigh of relief. Just having her in their vicinity eased their suffering, which was good and bad. Good because she had to be “the one” they had been searching for, and bad because now their pain had increased.
While they walked through the club, they carried on their mental dialogue, not that it really mattered. The only others there were also vampires and could hear every word they were saying.
Well, I would say all of our questions have been answered, wouldn’t you? Sebastian quirked an eyebrow at Christian, and then he entered the main room of Eternity. He gazed around the room, which would soon be transformed into the main club room. Sebastian felt wonder and hope for the first time in centuries.
True, I’d have to agree. Even in the way she reacted to us. It was all I could do not to drag her into our apartments and take her to bed .
Sebastian understood perfectly. He had felt the same way. He was surprised they both had fallen under the spell of her charms so easily. It could only mean one thing, and now they had to be very careful. They were in uncharted territory. After so many decades of searching, to finally find her was remarkable. Nothing had prepared them for how being around her would make them feel.
Sebastian, what is
