Chapter 12
David
Stormy nodded her head wildly. She pointed to the middle of his forehead, then his eyes and back to herself.
“So that was real. Someone was attacking you with fire. It looked very dangerous,” David said with a worried expression.
He lifted her arm where he saw the fireball hit, but her but the skin was unburnt. Even though she wasn’t hurt, he didn't think he was comfortable with people launching fireballs at his little mate. He had the overwhelming need to look after her.
Stormy smiled at him softly and put her head back against his chest. She chewed her lip. She reach down and interlaced her fingers with his and let out a happy sigh. David kissed her forehead and was grateful for the moment he had with her.
He noticed she was narrowing her eyes and concentrating, when he heard just the slightest scrape behind him. He turned to look as the book he had been reading began to float towards him. It hovered between him and Stormy while David grabbed a nearby towel and wiped his hands. He reached up and took the book from midair.
“Thank you, Sweetness,” he told her. She pointed to the book and then to her ear.
“Would you like for me to read to you?” He asked as she seductively bit her lip. Stormy clapped her hand and laid her head against his chest. She seemed content to lay against him as he read several chapters aloud. Stormy traced patterns on his chest with her fingers happily and absent-mindedly chewed on her lip.
David put his book mark between the pages and laid the book to the side. He reached down and began to run his hand on Stormy’s back. He leaned down and kissed her on the lips. She responded immediately by wrapping her arms around him and lightly stroking the back of his neck. Her mouth opened as she let him lazily explore it. He could feel the heat and passion between them. He felt his swimming trunks stir and the sweet smell of her arousal. His hands began to lightly explore her body as she leaned into his touch.
She finally broke the kissing gently before he got himself any more worked up and made the gesture for sorry. She signed no and pointed to where a watch would go. She let out a frustrated sigh.
He traced her jaw with his fingers, and kissed her forehead. “I want to have you crowned queen. Sweetness,” He whispered.
She nodded her head and made a crown with her finger for her head and then pointed to him.
“You want to be my queen.” He said and she clapped her hands.
She made the crown sign again, then she made the no gesture and pointed to her arm where one would wear a watch again. She frowned and held up three fingers and began to count down.
“No time, you're telling me you don't have time right now.” David confirmed as she nodded her head yes.
Once Stormy reached the end of her countdown she pointed to a spot a few feet away from the hot tub. An odd looking purple oval began to appear as the air in that spot began to shimmer and move like water.
Suddenly a black hole formed inside the purple oval and the brunette from Stormy's dream stepped through. David instantly realized that a portal had just been opened.
Stormy looked at David and made the sign for sorry. She reached up and kissed his lips. She stood up and stepped out of the hot tube. She snapped her fingers and she was instantly dry, and wearing a simple black T-shirt and matching pants that mirrored what her friend was wearing.
“Wait” David cried out as he tried to follow her. The brunette held up her hand and David felt like he was
being held in place.
“Please don’t interfere, Stormy needs to go now” the brunette said.
“I know, and I understand but I have so many questions.” David said as he struggled against whatever invisible thing held him back. “Please? Tell me where you are taking her.”
“I’m sure you know by now, that Stormy is not like other women. She has an important destiny. It's imperative that she train. Lives depend on what she learns. Not just hers, but yours as well.” The brunette explained cryptically.
“Where are you taking her to train? Couldn't she just train here?” He asked as politely as he could. He was getting frustrated and hated the idea that she was leaving him again.
“It's definitely not safe for her to train here. I have to take her where there's no danger. Like I said, Stormy's destiny is paramount” Stormy's friend said sounding annoyed at the interruption.
“When will I see her again?” David asked with his eyes pleading.
“You'll see her soon I'm sure, especially if she keeps sneaking off when she's supposed to be resting.” The lady scolded. Stormy shrugged and looked rather guilty.
The brunette suddenly stopped and turn to look at the king. She seemed to appraise David for the very first time since she arrived, instead of gazing through him like she had been doing. She looked him up and down, then frowned. “You will need training to protect her.” She said flatly.
Stormy stopped dragging her feet about halfway to the portal. She turned quickly and ran back to David. She gave David another small kiss before turning back to the portal with her shoulders slumped.
“I’ll miss you, My Sweet,” he whispered.
She turned back, pointed to herself, pointed to her chin and then back to him. He recognized the movement from earlier. “She says she'll miss you too.” The brunette said. She made a gaging noise and rolled her eyes.
“Stormy, if you don't get your pouty butt through this portal right now, you're going to spend the afternoon running laps.” She threatened.
Stormy huffed but quickly walked to the brunette. She stepped back and let Stormy approach. Stormy turned and gave David a huge smile before she waved at him. She stepped through the big dark circle and disappeared. The brunette was about to step through when David called out to her again.
“Wait, just one more question for now. Can you tell me your name?” David said hurriedly.
The brunette smiled at him. “My name is Angie, young king. We will see each other again. Your time is coming.” She said as she stepped through the portal and it disappeared.
“Young king indeed,” David snorted at the empty room. He was five hundred years old if he was a day.
