Chapter 33.
She closed her eyes as he began to kiss her neck all she could manage was a mumble of nothing intelligent. He unbuttoned her jacket and slipped it off her shoulders letting it fall to the floor. He tucked her hair behind her ear and cupped the side of her head in his hand cradling it as he kissed from behind her ear all the way down her neck. She moaned in appreciation. He moved behind her and slipped his hands in under her arms around to the front and began to unbutton her blouse. Still kissing behind her ear and down to the base of her neck. When her blouse was fully unbuttoned, he moved his hand up and brushed between her breasts, his broad hand caressed across her collarbone and the base of her throat. He nudged her bra strap and blouse off her shoulder and began to nibble along her neck to her shoulder. He took the blouse off her completely so that she had only her bra on. His hand tracked across her shoulder blades as he kissed the base of her neck and down her spine. Unhooking her bra, he kissed down until he reached the top of her jeans. He stopped and stood up straight. Then turned her around again to face him and stood for a brief moment admiring her. He placed his hands either side of her face and leaned in to kiss her. Kissing her top lip and then biting her bottom lip before sinking into a full-on passionate kiss plunging his tongue into her mouth; it was a strong kiss, direct and overpowering. Her head began to swim with desire. He put one arm around her waist and smoothed her hair back from her face with the other hand. Looking into her eyes his hand stroked across the base of her throat. He began to kiss her throat and down to her breasts. It was an elaborate and elegant dance; he was leading and she was quite willing to follow. He knew exactly what to do and she was on fire. Her whole body was aching for him and he too was aching to possess her. The dance continued until they were both fully undressed. He lifted her up onto him and carried her to the bed and in a few brief moments they became one. He held her hands and looked into her eyes, she could hardly believe the intensity as they danced together to the edge of oblivion and then dived straight into the abyss. Her body arched as waves of ecstasy folded over her washing her in its warmth. His face contorted as the final moment passed. And they both sank back to bathe in the afterglow. Warm and sated she squirmed until she found a comfortable spot to lie in and was contented to just lie there as he got up and went into the bathroom.
She purred like the cat that got the cream, stretching out her limbs her hand slipped in under the pillow and hit on something hard. She pulled it out to find a strange looking talisman. There was something vaguely familiar about it. She examined it further. It had an inscription on it that was written in a strange language. She saw flashes of images in her head, too jumbled and quick to grasp any one fully idea. Colours, lights, sounds, sensations and then complete images, still muddled. Scrambled images of her and another man. The feeling of an incredible thirst, almost like fire running through her. She saw images of her feeding from a young man’s body. She saw herself drinking another person’s blood. She saw herself lying on a table and men standing around her, and standing above her was Stevens.
She dropped the talisman and got up a little freaked out by what she had just saw or what she thought she saw. She began to get dressed and put her shoes back on. As she was lifting her jacket to leave Stevens came out of the bathroom.
“You’re leaving?” A little panicked she nodded her head and mumbled something about having to get up early. He moved towards her and she became jumpy.
“I’ll call you, okay.” And with that she left. Completely baffled he flopped down on the sofa bed convinced that everything had gone okay before he went into the bathroom and a little disturbed. It was the first time he had ever had that kind of a reaction from a woman. And then he saw it lying on the floor, the talisman. He picked it up and looked at it. ‘Why would she be freaked out by this?’ The thought puzzled him, but there was nothing he could do now. He would have to leave it for now. Maybe she would come around in a few days.
Outside still shaken from what she had seen and very confused by it all. She decided it would be best if she just went home and got some sleep. Perhaps things would make sense in the morning. She hoped.
