Shadows
Written By Jaden
Chapter 1 There comes a time when you have to pay for your sins.Sometimes its by force and sometimes its not, butwhether its on the day of your demise or not, sooneror later, you pay for your actions. I should knowbetter than anyone else and fully believe thateveryone has a judgment day. Words can't describe thestory I'm about to tell you. There's nothing in thisfucked up world of ours that really personifies whatI'm about to say. Darkness is only a mirror image ofso much more than evil. Its only the pinnacle of thetrue wicked and maniacal evil that is within each andevery one of us. With that said and done, here is mystory... ~Fall 2000~ Walking down a dark alley way isn't exactly a smartidea first of all, but that wasn't going through mymind at the time. The only thing I wanted to do was toescape my nemesis and enemy who had made my life atotal and utter living Hell. I was invaded almostevery night, depending on what kind of mood he was in,with absolutely no remorse from my attacker. I thoughtI could trust him. I thought he was my match, my soulmate, my life; however, he wasn't. He was a monsterdisguised as a trustworthy soul, who I vivaciouslyfell for. God how stupid was I to believe he wasactually a stable and trusting soul? I must have hadan overdose of something white or maybe I was drugged;something wasn't right. Getting back to what I was saying before, my clotheswere ripped to shreds, tears streamed down my face. Icould taste my own blood, feel it trickle down myface; it was truly a real life nightmare. Running downthe alleyway, with no where to go, I didn't know whereI was headed as long as I was away from him. My bodyached all over from the blows I had previous receivedfrom his boots and I knew I had some internal bleedingand possibly some broken ribs too, but I didn't care.That exactly wasn't what I was worried about at thetime and I kept going, wanting to get as far away fromhim as possible. Finally collapsing on the ground, I began to feel thedarkness take over my battered and bloody corpse, notcaring about living anymore. I didn't want to quitehonestly because I knew once I was six feet under thatI would feel no more pain from him, no more heartache,nothing. I curled my body up in a tight ball as therain began to fall harder and harder, stinging my cutsand making my body shake from the ice cold wet cement.Closing my eyes, he was the last thing that wentthrough my mind. Mark was driving down the road, more specifically analleyway, the same alleyway that she was laying in,unconscious and not able to see anything. He was goingslow because the heavy rain with shielding hiseyesight and he could hardly see out of windsheild. Hescreeched to a halting stop, awakening his best friendBrock, who had been sleeping in the passenger seat,but now he was awake and not a very happy man. "Man what the fuck Mark!?" Brock shouted, making Marklook over at him with a glare that said a thousandwords and immediately made him shut his mouth. "Why don't you stop bellyachin' and come with me.Something or someone is laying in the middle of thisalleyway and I wanna find out what or who it is!" Markstated, making Brock nod his head slowly, not wantingto piss Mark off anymore than he already was. Mark and Brock emerged from the car and slowly walkedover to her barely alive body, not knowing what to do.Mark knelt down while Brock stayed back, mesmerizedwith this creature he did not know anything about andseen the type of condition she was in. Lifting her upcautiously and carefully in his strong arms, Marksignaled silently to Brock to open the back door ofhis car so he could slide her body on the cushionedseats. Brock sighed, knowing Mark was going to takeher back to his mansion and there was nothing he coulddo to change his mind so he did has Mark asked. Aftermaking sure she wouldn't fall and was in all the way,Mark shut the door and quickly got in the car, soakedfrom head to toe from the heavy rainfall and so wasBrock, who had a disbelieving look on his face. "What are you doing Mark?" Brock asked as Mark spedout of the alleyway, not answering Brock's questionbecause even he didn't know the answer to it. Chapter 2 My eyes adjusted to a darken room when I woke up in aroom I had no clue I was in. I felt the sheets beneathmy body and they felt like silk as well as thepillows. I felt like I was trapped in a dream that Ididn't want to get out of. Hell, maybe I was dead andI was just in the middle of both Hell and heaven;maybe a utopia. Who knew? Slowly getting up out of thebed and trying to adjust my eyes fully to thedarkness, I tried finding some kind of light switch togrant me some light in this room. I felt around thewalls, my body racked with pain and my head poundingin my ears. It wasn't exactly the greatest feeling,but it was what I was feeling at the time and I wouldhave to deal with it. Plus, it also answered myquestion about being demised. I wasn't. Startled and completely scared to death, I fell flaton my backside when the door creaked open and inwalked the biggest man I'd ever seen in my life. Mylord my night had just gone from bad to worse as hestalked toward me in two long strides and swooped meup in his arms and I immediately stiffened, wonderingwhat the Hell was going on here. Was this one of hisfriends getting revenge on me for him? I didn't knowand quite frankly, I didn't think I wanted to knoweither. I sighed as I felt him lay me on the bed andcover me up and walked away, turning on a faint purplelight that filled the room with one flick of theswitch. Well over seven feet tall with long blackreddish auburn hair and the most piercing emeraldgreen eyes I'd ever seen, this guy was a monster andcould snap me like a twig if given the chance. "I'm not going to hurt you little one, but I very wellcouldn't just leave you in the alleyway to die. Ibrought you back here so you could rest and get yourstrength back." I heard him explain to me and I justnodded, refusing to let the tears fall that had welledup in my eyes. "Look you obviously need more rest so Iwill leave you to that. If you need anything, don'thesitate to call. My name is Mark by the way." The large man stood up and loomed over me and withoutanother word said, walked out of the room, leaving meto heal my wounds even though I honestly didn't wantto. I wanted to die in that alleyway so I wouldn'thave to deal with the pain that he had inflicted uponme. In a way, I was actually ungrateful toward thisman for saving me because I didn't want to be saved. Iwanted to die and never feel pain again, but obviouslythe greater power had another plan in mind for me andI could only wonder what that was. Closing my eyes and falling into a deep slumber,images and memories of what he had done to me ranthrough my mind and that was very unsettling to me tosay the least. Mark walked down the wide spiraling staircase thatlead to the upstairs where the young woman he hadrescued laid, resting and recuperating. He triedreading her thoughts, but was somehow blocked, whichwas unnerving to him. He sighed as he walked into hisstudy, where his mistress was waiting for him with asmirk of absolute evil stretched across her lips. Hesmirked right back and walked over toward her, withnothing but evil intentions on his mind. "How is she?" His mistress’s sweet voice asked, makinghim smile assuringly at her as he scooped her up inhis strong arms and carried her toward their chambers. "She's going to be just fine my dear Natalie, but nowit's time for dessert and what I want requireseverything from you." Mark replied in a seductive toneand all Natalie could do was pray that he took it easyon her that night. Chapter 3 Thinking about the young woman that was staying inMark's mansion with them as well, Brock walked downthe halls, not understanding his friend’s motives. Healready had a mistress, so why was this girl soimportant? Did she have a gift that no other knewabout? Was she different compared to all the otheryoung women he had seen in the past? Something told him that she was indeed. Brock sighed as he started toward his own chambers,his head pounding from a headache that was emerging,when he heard a soft cry in the room he was standingright in front of. Slowly putting his hand on the knobof the door and turning it, Brock opened the door,hearing it creak and making the young woman they hadsaved earlier that same night stare him in the facewith her own. ~Dream~ "Please stop! I'll do anything if you'll just stop..."I trailed off as I felt my clothes being ripped frommy body and my attacker enter me with a roughness thatbrought fresh tears to the surfice of my eyelids, butI refused to let them drop. "Shut up you stupid cunt! I've had about enough outtayou!" He growled as he plunged himself in my depths,kissing me with his harden lips and made my own lipsbruise and split as well. I didn't say another word as I felt him slide in andout of me so roughly and cold, something I was sofamiliar with. I felt him finally empty himself insideof me, felt that cold harsh slap across my face;bruising it instantly and tasting my own blood aswell, and watched as he storm out of my room, lockingthe door behind him and leaving me to wait for yetanother attack the following night... I bolted upright out of the silky sheeted covered bed,sweat pouring from my forehead and my heart beatingsavagely out of my chest. Pressing my palm to mycheek, still breathing heavily, I could still feel thetingly sting on my cheek where he had slapped me somany times. Finally getting my breathing under controland my heart beating again, I emerged from the bed,but quickly collapsed back on it, the pain being tomuch for me to take at that moment. Hearing the door creak open and feeling a presence, Iquickly snapped my head up and looked into the mostunique blue eyes I'd ever seen in my life. They werethe lightest of blue, kind of pale actually with nosign of emotion in their depths. He had short blondehair, almost like a navy cut. His body was built withmuscle on top of muscle, looking like a solid brickwall. All in all, he was a very handsome man. Being extremely cautious, I never broke eye contact,wondering what this large man wanted. Jesus he wasalmost as tall as Mark! He came closer and Iimmediately tensed up, not wanting him near me at thatmoment, especially with the dream I had justpreviously encountered. Brock took a few steps back, seeing the fear swimmingin her clear sapphire blue eyes, not wanting to scareher anymore than she already was. He knew Mark hadalready came to visit and check on her, but hecouldn't help but want to as well. God she was a quitea beauty too! Long black hair pooled down her back in waves,reminding him of the ocean and how the waves crashedon the shore. It shined like the glistening water, butthe most intriguing feature about this woman was hereyes. Sapphire orbs stared back at him, shining likediamonds in a dark, midnight sky and her skin was sopale. There was absolutely no life in her eyes and hecould understand that and did not dare ask why either. "Look I don't mean to scare you, but I heard youcrying and..." Before he could finish she cut him off,surprising him to say the least. "I'm fine." I replied in a cold, hard tone, wishing hewould leave so I could wallow in my self pity alone. Alone. That's the way I wanted it and that's the wayit was going to stay as far as I was concerned. Ididn't need nor did I want a man in my life, not afterwhat he did to me. As far as I was concerned, I wasgoing to be alone for the rest of my life, whetheranyone liked it or not. I really could care less atthat moment. Getting the message loud and clear, Brock bowed hishead to the young woman and left her alone, notwanting to scare or anger her anymore. Sighing withdeep sorrow and rejection, Brock made his way towardhis chambers, the young woman still fresh in hismemory. Chapter 4 Demonica sat on the bed, tears pouring down heralready tear-streaked face as she watched her masterthrow things around like a mad man. She knew thisnight would not be a good one for her and was mentallypreparing herself for it. Wiping her tears awayquickly and standing up, Demonica walked out of thedressing room behind her master, knowing what awaitedher once they arrived at the hotel. Shivering with absolute fear and dread, she quicklystepped inside of the car and sat down, not daring tolook at her master, whose face was contorted andtwisted up with absolute rage and hate and she knewwhy. The sad part was that she was what he used totake all his anger and animalistic aggression out onand had been for quite sometime. Sighing softly to herself as she kept her head down,her long fiery red hair hanging in her face, shieldingher fear and eyes away from him, she let the tearsfall freely, knowing he wouldn't look in her directionuntil they arrived at their destination. Demonica usedto be so full of life, so happy, but then she met hermaster and immediately, the life drained out of her aswell as the happiness and fire in her soul. It wascold and dead now, thanks to the monster that satbeside her, but the scariest part of this nightmarewas that she loved him deeply and would die for him,if necessary. A part of her wished she could tell himhow she felt, but the other half told her that it wasa waste of her time and breath. Glenn was irate to find out that his brother wasadding a new addition to the Ministry and couldn'tbelieve that he wasn't the one! Hate and rage filledhis empty heart and he smiled wickedly at Demonica,knowing she was the key to solving and ridding himselfof all these emotions that were building inside ofhim. He knew she loved him and used that against herto his own advantage. 'Stupid girl you are my sweet Demonica and soon youwill find out exactly how evil I can be.' Glennthought sadistically in his mind as he pulled into thehotel parking lot, his hardened member crying out tohim for release and he knew exactly how to take careof it. "Get out." Demonica heard the harsh tone of Glenn anddidn't dare disobey, knowing the consequences would bedeadly if she wasn't careful. Grabbing her upper arm roughly in his grasp andstalking toward the hotel backdoors, Glenn practicallydragged Demonica toward the hotel room they bothshared, not able to wait much longer for this release.Fumbling with the keys in his hands and finally ableto open the door, Glenn shoved her inside and slammedthe door with such force behind him that it almostbroke the hinges right off. Demonica just stood thereas he yanked her into his arms and brutally kissed herlips, making them crack and bleed instantly. The tasteof her blood on his tongue only made him even moreturned on, which was not a good thing for Demonica. "Strip slave." Glenn demanded as he laid on the bedand watched as she quickly started to undress, butthat wasn't what he wanted. "Slowly." Demonica sighed as she felt tears burning her eyes,but she did not dare let them fall. She knew it wouldonly anger her master further than he already was anddidn't want that to happen. She started gyrating herhips and running her hands through her hair, slowlysliding off her tight red pleather top, exposing herfull voluptuous breasts to his view and she could feelhis eyes boring into her as she continued. Slowlyunzipping the skirt and letting it fall and poolaround her ankles, she kept moving her hips back andforth seductively, making Glenn's mouth water withabsolute animalistic desire. Glenn couldn't take it anymore as he stood up andgrabbed Demonica by her hair, throwing her on the bedand quickly undressed himself as well as the rest ofher as he invaded her body once again, just like everynight. He slammed into her, not caring about herneeds, only his. God she was so tight, so good! Demonica just laid there, taking all her master had tooffer, not uttering one word for him to stop as shefelt him come close to his release. She had to biteher bottom lip hard, making it bleed, from notscreaming out in total pain mixed with pleasure asGlenn thrusted one last time deep inside of her,exploding his seed in the process and collapsed on topof her barely alive body, drenched in sweat andbreathing heavily. Demonica felt Glenn pull out of herand rolled on his side of the bed, pushing her off inthe process and throwing a pillow at her sore nakedform. "Tonight you sleep on the floor slave. I don't feellike having another in my bed." Glenn stated harshlyas he turned out the lights and fell asleep almostimmediately and that's when Demonica finally let thetears flow as she curled up, shivering from head totoe, and fell into a restless slumber herself. Sun peaked through the black curtains as I slowlyopened my eyelids and looked around, trying to get mymemory back. Events of the previous night suddenlyflooded back into my conscious mind and I immediatelystood up, not wanting to be around these people. I wasscared for my life, my sanity, but most importantly,my heart. I stood up to fast as I felt a rush of dizziness entermy head followed by and shot of pain and I collapsedback on top of the bed, shutting my eyes tight and notdaring to open them. When I did, I was staring intoodd and new eyes of a woman who I did not knowanything about... Chapter 5 "Are you all right dear?" The strange woman asked,making me sit up and scoot my body away from her tillmy head hit the headboard of the bed. Natalie just stared at the young creature, not knowingexactly what her master wanted with her. He had her sowhy this young flower? Natalie smirked, knowing thisyoung girl had some kind of fascinating power thatintrigued her master. Yes indeed she did becauseNatalie could sense it. Slowly reaching out her handand taking the young woman's, she stared deep in hersapphire blue eyes, searching for the answer to aquestion she did not yet know. Looking down at my hand in hers, I quickly tensed up,not knowing what was happening at the moment. All Iknew was that I wanted out of this strange housebefore anything else occurred. "I'm not going to hurt you Jessie. My name is Natalie.I'm Mark's mistress." She replied with a sweet voicethat sent a shiver down my spine. She was harmless and non threatening so what was thebig deal and why was I so afraid of her? I startedtaking in her features, noticing that she was indeedquite a beauty. Long blonde hair with red tints floweddown her back and was pinned up on both sides of herhead along with a unique shade of hazel in her eyes.They looked like green and blue mixed, which was veryunusual, almost like a turquoise. They were quiteintriguing. She had pale, almost white skin and herface was naturally colored with the slightest tint ofpink in her cheeks. Her eyes were so full of life andher smile could light up any dark room on any givenday. When she said my name, my eyes went wide withfright and confusion and I couldn't help but wonderexactly how she knew who I was. "How did you know my name?" I immediately asked,staring into her life-filled hazel orbs. She smiled at me with security and stated, "Mark toldme honey. Are you hungry?" I felt my body start to calm down and felt lesstension as I slowly let go of her hand and just noddedmy head in her direction, knowing she was going tomake me something to eat, which I gladly accepted andcraved. Sighing with relief and despair, I laid backdown and closed my eyes as Natalie left me, goingdownstairs to fix me something to satisfy my hungerapparently. I just laid in the bed, covered up withblood red sheets made of silk and sighed, knowing Iwasn't going anywhere for a long time. Something toldme it was the best decision I could have made at thatmoment. However, I didn't know exactly how wrong I wasat the time... Chapter 6 Laying in bed reading a book that Mark had presentedto me, I thought about my life as well as the woman'sin this story, knowing deep down that I couldn'tescape my fate. Whatever was going to happen was goingto happen and I couldn't stop it, even if I wanted to.It was there and all I had to do was reach out andtouch it, feel it, experience it, and live it. Thewounds I had endured in the alleyway were starting toslowly disappear and left only scarce scars asmemories of what I had tried to accomplish, but neversucceeded. My thoughts were broken when I heard my door creakopen, smiling slightly when I seen pale blue eyesstaring back at me. Brock walked in with a tray offood, making my mouth water at the sight of thecombination that was before me. I looked up in hiseyes, seeing nothing but kindness swimming in his orbsas I took a bite out of the juicy streak, drippingwith cholesterol and fat, but to me, it was absolutelydelicious. The salty taste on my lips and tongue washeavenly as I quickly demolished the meal, leavingonly a bone from the steak left and Brock watched methe entire time. "You must have been hungry." Brock said, making mycheeks turn a flush red and I felt the burning ofthem. "Sorry." I replied, shoving the tray at him, not ableto look him in the eye at that moment. I was so embarrassed for being watched as I basicallyscarffed down the meal he had generously prepared forme. I felt the bed dip and looked up, staring into hisamused eyes and I couldn't help but let a small curveform upon my lips. Feeling his fingertips graze mycheek, I couldn't help but let a small sigh escape mythroat and mouth as I felt his lips inch toward minelittle by little. However, the moment was ruined by aknock on the door and I immediately looked down,opening my book and pretended to read, not able tolook Brock in the eye. We were mere inches fromkissing one another and I had absolutely no idea why Iwas so upset, although I was. "Brock get out of here and leave the poor thing alone.I'm so sorry about that miss. My name is Skye. I willbe taking care of you for the remainder of your stayhere." The petite woman explained, making me smile ather, although deep down I wanted to strangle her forinterrupting mine and Brock's moment. "How are youfeeling?" I plastered a smile on my face as I looked up into herdark chocolate brown eyes and said, "It was really notrouble Skye, but I am fine now." Skye could tell she was very upset with her, but shecouldn't help it if she had a job that had to be done,could she? Sighing heavily and starting to dust aroundthe room, Skye wished she wouldn't have knocked on thedoor. Something told her that this young woman had aspecial power about her that the master was veryinterested in, but the question was, what was it? 'It's none of your business so just forget it.' Skyescolded herself as she bid the young woman goodbye andwalked out of the door, leaving Jessie to questionabout what would have happened had Skye notinterrupted her and Brock. Part of Jessie was thrilled and relieved that Skye hadindeed interrupted the moment between her and Brock,but another part of her wondered what would havehappened had Brock pressed those full, pouty lips tohers. Feeling a tingling sensation between her thighs,Jessie closed her eyes and tried to slow her racingheart, not even knowing what was about to happen toher... "What do you mean Mark??! Are you out of what's leftof your mind??" Natalie shouted in their chambers, notbelieving what her master wanted to do to Jessie. "There's something about her Nat and lower your voicewhen you talk to me. I am your master still,remember?" Mark stated in a cold, deadly tone thatmade Natalie close her mouth and roll over on herside, letting silent tears fall from her eyelids."Goodnight slave." That word pierced through her like a sharpened knifeand she immediately stood up, fire burning in her eyesas she seen Mark sit up, locking eyes with hers. "Slave eh? Slave this you son of a bitch!" Natalieshouted, flipping him the bird and stormed out oftheir chambers, leaving Mark to berate himself overand over again for calling her that. "Shit." Mark muttered as he laid back down in his bed,wondering how he was going to make this up to hismistress. Mark was about to go back to sleep when John Cena cameinto his chambers, breathing heavily and making Marklook at him with wide eyes, wondering what the Hellwas wrong now. "Its Natalie..." John didn't have to time to finishhis statement before Mark was on his way toward hismistress, wondering what was going on around hismansion. All Hell was breaking loose and he couldn't stop itand now the love of his life was hurt and he didn'tknow how or why. John stood there, watching his masterrace toward Natalie. Sighing with relief that he hadmade it in time to his master, John started to headfor his chambers when he seen the raving black hairedbeauty with clear dark brown eyes and Indian coloredskin he had been after for a while now. Smirking andfixing himself a little, John headed in her direction,making Skye extremely nervous. Skye was walking down the stairs and toward hermaster's chambers when she spotted John Cena in hersight. Her heart started racing quickly and her mouthbecame cotton mouth dry as she stopped dead in hertracks, taking in the body and look of him. Shortbrown hair navy cut with a blue band around his headfinished his facial look, but moving lower andscanning the rest of his body, she couldn't help butsmile a little and feel that twinge of desire coursethrough her eyes. A blue, white and black throwbackjersey with some long blue jean shorts and shoesfinished off with a steel chain with a lock around histhick, muscled neck. He was one dangerous individual,but somehow, Skye was intrigued by him. Her breathcaught in her throat when she seen him heading in herdirection and her palms became immediately sweaty. "Yo, yo, yo what's up Skye, you look like a girl thatneeds a guy. Yo, more like it, you need some Cenacause there ain't no one else that can satisfy yourflava." John rapped, making Skye blush as she tried topass him, but he slowly stalked and eventually backedher into a wall, looking deep in the same pair of eyesthat had haunted his dreams ever since she became partof the Ministry. "You're so beautiful good and true,let me make you feel good girl 'cause the only one Iwant is you." Skye gulped nervously, never taking her eyes away fromhis as he lowered his lips and brushed them acrosshers, sending bolts of electricity flowing through herveins and making her heart leap in her throat. Johnwrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closeras he parted her full, voluptuous lips, plunging histongue inside her depths, searching and reaching everycrevice of her mouth. Skye let out a sigh of pleasure,wrapping her arms around his thick, muscled neck,never wanting this moment to end, but unfortunately itwas going to have to for the time being. John brokethe kiss and stared deep in her eyes, smoothing outher hair lovingly and silently told her that there wasmore where that came from and the thought sent ashiver down her spine as John walked away from herreluctantly, touching her lips with his fingertipssoftly as he left her sight. 'My Lord what have I gotten myself into?' Skye thoughtas she continued her journey toward her master'schambers, wondering if he would indeed allow her todate a class higher than her own. Sun shined through the shades of the hotel room asDemonica felt a hand caress her cheek as she openedher eyes slowly, wondering what was going on. She feltGlenn pick her up in his strong arms, laying her inhis bed and crawled in beside her, kissing her templelovingly and kept whispering to her over and overagain how sorry he was for treating her the way he didthe previous night. Still tired and sore, Demonicadidn't say anything as she snuggled under the coversand fell into a deep sleep with Glenn watching overher that morning. They didn't need to be anywhere soGlenn decided to let her rest her sore and batteredbody, hoping she forgave him for what he had done toher. Monster or not, Glenn loved his slave like heloved food and wrestling and would do absolutelyanything for her. She was the one for him and Glennknew that sooner or later, he would have to make hisslave, his mistress. He couldn't wait for that momentto happen either. "I'm sorry Demonica." Glenn whispered in her ear,making her sigh with contentment and that brought asmile to his face as he wrapped his arms around herwaist and spooned up against her body, falling into adeep slumber himself. Chapter 7 Sitting in my bed, I contemplated what I was going todo once I left Mark's mansion. I had a couple ofoptions, but nothing seemed to stick out in my head.All I cared about was being safe and not dying. Iwanted to still feel the fresh breath upon my face andmy heart race with excitement. My thoughts then turnedtoward Brock and how wonderful he had been towards mesince I arrived in his house. His lips were so softagainst mine, his breath was hot and sent shivers ofdesire coursing through my veins. I felt like a puddleof Jell-O around him, which was not normal for me.That's why I had to leave, get out before I wasdragged into their world and never able to return.Something however was telling me to stay, to take intheir way of life and become one of them, but Iignored it, not wanting to believe that someoneactually wanted me as their own. Sighing with greatregret and sorrow, I quickly wiped away the few straytears that fell, knowing there was no way I couldstay, not now, not ever. My thoughts were broken whenI heard my door creak open and in walked Skye, who hadlooked like she just encountered some type of ghost. "Are you okay?" I asked, not knowing exactly what hadhappened with her and John. "Fine. Listen can I stay in here for a while? Ipromise not to bother you." She asked me franticallyand I couldn't just send her away so I reluctantlynodded my head at her, patting a seat beside me on thebed. I seen her sigh with great relief and I stared at hercuriously, wondering what was going with this womanwho only a few short hours ago was so full of life andirritance. I felt the bed dip beside me and knew shehad reached her destination, but there was somethingwrong. Her whole body was shaking like a leaf,vibrating the bed in the process and I looked over ather, seeing her bottom lip quivering with absolutedread and fear coursing through her veins. I didn'tknow what had happened to her, but I wasn't about toask, knowing the time wasn't right. I seen her startto slowly calm down and sighed with relief when I seenher eyes shut and her breathing became steady,signaling she was asleep. Whipping my head up and looking at my already openeddoor, I seen Brock standing in the entrance andcouldn't help but smile curiously at him, wonderingwhat he wanted. I seen him come near me and held ahand out, wanting me to take it obviously, but was Itruly ready to trust him? Was he going to be like myprevious mate? Or was he going to respect my wishesand let me do whatever I wanted to do? These questionswere all answered when I slowly slid my hand in his,letting him lead me wherever he had planned for us togo. The only thought that ran through my mind was 'have Itruly lost whatever is left of my mind?' Sitting right in front of the fireplace, watching thesparks and hearing the faint crackle of the wooddeteriorating beneath the roaring flames, tears ofpain slid down Natalie's face, not believing what Markhad said to her. Did he really believe that she wasstill his slave and not his better half? Pain in herheart and mind drained her emotionally and physicallyas she laid down by the fire, seeing the flames andwishing they would take her away and melt her heartalong with the crackling wood. Hearing the sound offootsteps enter the room, Natalie knew exactly who itwas and didn't even acknowledge his presence. Whyshould she after the hurtful words that spewed fromhis mouth only hours ago? Instant pain went to Mark's eyes as he seen the womanhe loved crying her heart out silently to the flamesof the fireplace, immediately feeling regret flowthrough the veins of his heart. All he wanted to dowas take her in his arms and tell her how truly sorryhe was and that he didn't mean the awful mean thingsthat he had stated to her. Walking over to her andkneeling down, Mark brushed the hair from her face,his heart breaking with every tear that fell from hereyes. He couldn't take it anymore as he pulled her inhis arms, feeling her body shake and tremble withabsolute intensity and fear, which is exactly what hedidn't want. He didn't want her to fear him. He lovedher so much damn it and really didn't mean what hesaid, but how was he supposed to make it up to her?Leaning down and gently brushing his lips upon hers,Mark kissed Natalie with a fiery passion, letting herknow silently how sorry he truly was. Natalie moaned, not able to ignore the kiss that Markhad just bestowed upon her as she wrapped her armsaround his neck, deepening the lip lock even more andbrought him closer, pressing her breasts against hisshirt covered solid chest, making it heave up and downfrom the intensity of passion that lingered in theair. Breaking the kiss and taking a deep breath, Markstared in her clouded hazel eyes, licking his lips,knowing what was about to happen. He descended hislips upon hers once more, sliding his hot tongueinside her mouth, tasting her sweetness for themillion time and it felt so right. Her mouth tastedlike cherries dipped in chocolate, an intoxicatingtaste that hypnotized and brought her to him. She washis, no questions asked; no words spoken as he laidher gently on the red plush soft carpet and took herover and over again as the fire roared and made sweatglisten their bodies from the ecstasy filled passionthey both just shared together. Chapter 8 Glenn woke Demonica up later on that night, needing tohit the road that was in front of them if he wanted tomake it to his brother's house the next day to discussa plan he had in mind for the Ministry. He trulywanted to be part of it, but knew it was failingmiserably with Mark as the leader of the group. Hedeserved and was going to take over the Ministry oneway or the other, whether any of them liked it or not. Demonica's eyes fluttered open as she stared intoGlenn's blue eyes burning with desire for her, butknew they could not start something they couldn'tfinish. Demonica smiled as she quickly kissed his lipssoftly and made her way to the bathroom, desperatelyneeding a shower before they made the long drive toHouston, Texas. Demonica knew why Glenn wanted to gothere and was behind her man one hundred percent, nomatter what the consequences were that lay with herdecision. Fate was about to take another bump in theroad and she was going for the ride along with itsdread and secrecy. Turning the water on full blast with hot waterstreaming from the shower head, Demonica steppedinside and let the burning water flow down the lengthof her still bruised and battered body. She smiled toherself however, loving the pure animalistic naturethat Glenn brought out of himself when he made love toher. She felt the delicious ache between her thighs,longing to have him inside of her again and knew thatthe time would come sooner or later. She shivered withabsolute dread and delight at the thought and quicklyfinished off her shower, knowing Glenn would beterribly upset with her if she didn't leave him enoughhot water. Shutting off the water and quickly emergingfrom the bathroom, she smiled as she seen Glenn walktoward her, taking her in his arms and passionatelykissed her with those soft, rough lips of his. Shemoaned and quickly broke it, smirking as she walkedtoward the bedroom, wagging her cute ass at himteasingly and that only caused a desire filled growlto erupt from Glenn's nose and mouth as he barged inthe bathroom, slamming the door with such force thatit sent a shiver of fear down Demonica's spine,wondering if what she had just done was a smart thingto do. John was going completely crazy wondering where Skyewas. He knew she was supposed to be attending toMark's chambers, but when he arrived there was no signof her. Fear gripped his heart as he franticallysearched the mansion, praying to God that she wassafe. He was falling for her and didn't want anythinghappening to jeopardize his plans for Skye. He wasjust about to punch a hole in the wall right outside abedroom when he heard a soft cry coming from the roomand knew it was Skye. Hauling back and kicking thedoor in, John sighed with great relief when he seenshe was on the bed sleeping and thrashing around,obviously having a nightmare of some sort. Carefullyand cautiously walking towards her, John sat down andbrushed a lock of her black hair out of her face, hisheart breaking when he seen the tears sliding down hercheeks. "Skye wake up girl." John gently stated, shaking herawake softly. ~Dream~ "Oh God please don't let him come in here..." Skyetrailed off when she heard her father descending thestairs and knew he was drunk. She could smell the liquor lingering in the air as hemade his way toward her bedroom door, which waslocked, but she knew that wouldn't stop him for whathe was about to do to her. Screaming out in fright andbacking up on her bed, Skye seen her door get kickedin and in stumbled her very drunk and violent father. 'God this is NOT good.' Skye thought as she screamedout in pain when he grabbed a handful of her hair. "LET GO DADDY PLEASE!!!" Skye pleaded, tears streamingdown her face as she felt her father throw her on thefloor roughly, instantly making her crack her chin onthe wooden surface. "Shut up and take what's coming to you little girl!!"Her dad shouted and started unzipping himself when ashot rang out in her room, making Skye cry harder. She looked up and seen her mother standing over herfather with a gun in her hand and tears were streamingdown her cheeks as Skye slowly got up, seeing theblood streaming over the wooden floor and on hercarpet. "Get out now Skye. Run away and never return. I loveyou baby." Her mother stated in a cold, deadly toneand Skye didn't waste any time as she quickly gatheredher belongings, took her mother's car, and sped downthe road, the tears never stopping... Skye bolted upright out of Jessie's bed, tears pouringdown her face and sweat trickling and moistening herbody all over. She screamed when she seen John leaningover her and kicked him straight in the balls,watching his body fall off the bed and on the floor.Skye folded her legs in her chest and cried harder,not knowing what was going on or where she was untilreality slowly started coming back to her. She leanedover and seen a very angry and confused face on John'sfeatures and knew she would have to explain herselfthoroughly. She only hoped he forgave her after shewas done. Chapter 9 Brock lead us toward the back of the mansion wherehardly anyone went so we had plenty of privacy. I waswalking very slowly, not wanting to over do myself. Iwas just starting to regain my strength and didn'twant to push it anymore than what I would have too. Ismiled at Brock's generosity, not believing how calmand patient he was being toward me. I knew he longedto kiss my lips, but I wasn't ready yet, not afterwhat my previous boyfriend put me through. I knew Iwould have to tell someone about him sooner or later,but didn't know if right now was the best time to doit. My thoughts were broken when I felt a pair ofhands gently cover my eyes and I could feel Brock'shot breath on my neck. "Walk exactly ten steps in front of you and don't goany further." Brock instructed me carefully and I didexactly as he said, smiling when I stopped andwondered what was going on. "Open your eyes Jessie." I opened them and gasped at the sight before me. Itwas midnight and the moon was so full of life with amillion glistening stars in the sky. I looked down onthe ground and seen a picnic was set up with two longstemmed glasses and a bottle of Champaign in an icebucket. There was a slick, silk black blanket andcandles were set upon it. It was absolutely wonderfuland brought tears to my eyes. I turned around andlooked into Brock's eyes, seeing him smirking in thedarkness with only the candle being our light. Therewere no overhead lights, just us and two candles,illuminating our faces in a golden glow. It wasabsolutely breathtaking. "Brock I..." I started to say, but was hushed when Ifelt his finger press against my lips as he took me inhis arms. I closed my eyes as he leaned down and captured mylips with his in a soul-searing kiss that sent atingle of sensation from the top of my head to thetips of my toes, making them curl from the intensityof it. I moaned and wrapped my arms around his thick,muscled neck, deepening the kiss even more and hewrapped his strong arms around my waist, pulling mecloser into his embrace and pressed my breasts againsthis chest. God it was so amazing! Breaking the kiss and just staring at me, seeing thelust growing in my eyes, Brock took my hand in his andlead me over to the blanket and we both sat down onthe silken fabric, sipping Champaign and stealingkisses from each other every once in a while. I knewhe was doing all of this so I would trust him and Ilonged to, but after what that monster had done to me,I wasn't so sure if I could ever trust another manever again. I smiled when Brock extended his arms tome and I immediately went into his embrace, feelinghis arms wrapping around my body as we stared at thestars and full lit moon. "I have something for you..." Brock trailed off as hereached in the basket and pulled a rolled up piece ofpaper out, confusing me even more as he handed it tome. "Open it and look for that star." I sighed as I did as he asked me to and looked in thesky, seeing the star that was on the paper and lookedin Brock's eyes, confusion swimming in my eyes. "It's yours now Jessie." Brock replied, making me takein what he just informed me of and I did the firstthing I could think of. I gently pressed my lips to his and whispered againstthem, "Thank you." Opening her eyes the following morning and wrapped inthe strong arms of her master, Natalie yawned andlooked up at him, smiling at the memories of theprevious night. She ached deliciously and her body wasspooned up right beside his. The fire had gone downconsiderably, but she wasn't shivering thanks toMark's body heat. He was like a real life furnace withoozing sexuality and an awesome physical specimen. Shesighed and slowly pried herself out of Mark's embrace,desperately needing to find her clothes. She was justabout to walk toward her shirt that was thrown over bythe fireplace when a pair of arms pulled her backdown. Natalie let out a squeal, but it was silenced bya passionate kiss by Mark. "Where do ya think you're goin'?" Mark asked, nibblingon her neck lovingly, erupting a moan from Natalie. "I was just...Oh God..." Natalie trailed off as Markstarted kissing down her neck, licking and sucking onher nipples, making them hard as rocks. "What was that darlin'?" Mark asked, a smirk playingon his lips as he seen Natalie writhing beneath him."Oh damn I forgot, I need to go and check on Randall." Natalie shot him a deadly glare as she got up andquickly retrieved her clothes, making a roar oflaughter from Mark fill the room and her cheeksimmediately became red as cherries. Mark shook hishead as he zipped up his pants and went over toNatalie, who was fully dressed and trying to walk outof the room. He lifted her chin up with his huge handand pressed his lips to hers in a soul-searing kiss. "I'll make it up to ya later baby. I promise." Markwhispered in her ear as he reluctantly let her go andwent to see how the young woman he had saved wasdoing. Chapter 10 "What the fuck was that all about?!" John askedangrily, still holding his jewels as he collapsed onthe bed, pain all over his face and making Skye feeleven more worse than she already was. "God I'm so sorry John. I was having a dream and..."Skye trailed off, tears pooling in her eyes and John'sfeatures immediately softened as he sat up, wincing alittle at the pain, but he ignored it. "Come here." John stated, holding out his arms to herand she immediately went into his embrace, leaning herhead on his chest and sighing with relief that hewasn't angry with her. "Care to tell me what it wasall about?" Skye didn't say anything, to afraid of reliving whatshe had just dreamed and the most scariest part of itwas the fact that it really happened to her. Shesighed she looked up in his blue eyes, seeing all theunderstanding in his eyes. He was supposed to bedangerous, but something told her that deep downinside, he was just a big teddy bear. She felt hisarms wrap around her and knew she had to tell him thetruth about why she just kicked him in his below thebelt region. "Do you really want to know?" Skye asked, locking eyeswith his and she seen him nod. "Then sit back, relaxand listen up very carefully..." "My father was an alcoholic and came home drunk everynight. He would barge in my room and...rape...me."Skye said, looking down as she felt the burning in hereyes start again. "My mom was also raped and beatenalmost to death every night, but one night inparticular that all changed. My father came home asusual and I had dead bolted my door shut, hoping hedidn't get in, but no such luck. He kicked my door in,grabbed me by the roots of my hair and threw me on mywooden floor, busting open my chin instantly. Then heproceeded to pin my hands above my head and I startedfighting him, not wanting to feel him invade me again.I heard the zipper slide down, which still haunts mymind to this day, but the next thing that happenedwill eternally stay in my memory forever. Just as myfather was about to slide inside of me, a shot rangout in my bedroom and my father's lifeless body fellon top of me. His blood seeped inside my nightgown andstained my floor. I screamed as I pushed his body offof me and scrambled to my feet, seeing a gun in mymother's hand. My eyes went wide as she dropped itupon the floor and told me to run away and neverreturn. She said she loved me and I was so scared thatI just ran away, grabbing some things and took mymom's car. I was 16 when that happened." Skye had tears sliding down her cheeks when shefinished her story and John had this look in his eyesthat said he wished my father were still alive. Skyeseen his face twitch in anger and his eyes had fireinside of them that scared the Hell out of her. Johnfinally softened up, seeing Skye was clearly afraid ofhim and he didn't want that. He pulled her into hisarms and stared in her eyes, pressing his forehead tohers and said, "I would never hurt you. You believe meright?" "Yes." Skye replied, wiping her tears away as Johnleaned down and crushed his lips to hers in apassionate kiss, making Skye's heart start to beatwildly out of her chest and her pulse started to race. Skye moaned as she wrapped her arms around his neck,needing to feel him, needing to let go of the past andfear of men, needing to be with him, but could she dothat? Could she be with a higher class than her? Shebroke the kiss, her breathing ragged and more tears inher eyes as she looked in his eyes, searching for thetruth. "What's wrong girl?" John asked, making Skye sigh asshe looked down. "Can we actually be together John? I mean you're amuch higher class than I am so I'm just wondering ifwe really can be together because if we can't than Idon't want to start anything." Skye replied, makingJohn chuckle from the back of his throat. John answered her question by pressing his lips tohers and Skye didn't stop it this time as John guidedher body on top of the bed, never breaking the kiss ashe slowly slid his hands up and down her body, knowingthat right now was the moment that both of them hadbeen waiting for. Chapter 11 Sun shined in my eyes as my eyes fluttered open and Ismiled as I looked up and seen Brock staring rightback at me. He caressed my cheek lovingly, sendingbolts of electricity down my spine and made me beamwith absolute happiness. Pale blue orbs glittered backat me with so much love coursing through them that itactually scared me. I frowned as I got up, dusting thedry dirt from my clothes and started walking backinside when I felt a hand clamp around my upper arm. Iturned back around and sighed, knowing this was goingto be one of the hardest tasks I would ever have todo. "What Brock? What do you want?" I asked, an edgeforming in my voice. "You." Was all he said and I felt my heart breakinginstantly. "Well you can't have me Brock. When are you going tolearn that I'm not worth your time!?" I exclaimed,trying to break the strong hold Brock had on me, butit was no use. He was too strong. "Yes you are and don't ever say that again." Brockcooly stated, his blue eyes blazing at me. "No I'm not!! I'm ugly and worthless so just go andget someone who you can actually enjoy being with!?" Ishouted, my voice shaking from the intensity of myemotions. "You know what? Fuck it. Go ahead and walk away, but Irefuse to feel sorry for you. Do you honestly think Iwould hang out with you and be with you if I didn'tlike you?? Get real woman! You're absolutely gorgeousand I don't see why you constantly put yourself down!"Brock said, raising his voice a little to me. "I don't know what..." "Don't try that bullshit with me Jessie because itwon't work. Why don't you go take a good long look inthe mirror and figure out exactly what you want. Itried everything in my power to...Nevermind. Fuck it."Brock said in a bitter tone that made tears well up inmy eyes as he walked away from me. 'My God what have I done?' I thought as I rejectedlywalked into the mansion and back to my room, notliking what I seen once I walked in. Chapter 12 After another brutal encounter of love making withGlenn, Demonica was spent, but groaned when sheremembered they still had that long drive to maketoward Mark's house. She shivered slightly with fearand excitement, knowing Mark wouldn't want to see her.She quickly got dressed and was in the car in a recordsetting time, wanting to do everything in her power toplease Glenn. When she seen the corners of his mouthtwitch, she knew he was pleased with her and shecouldn't be anymore thrilled than at that moment. Shesettled back in her seat, wondering what it was goingto be like to see Mark again. Demonica could only hopethat he welcomed his own baby sister with open arms. Demonica and Glenn weren't brother and sistertechnically because Mark and Glenn weren't fullblooded brothers. Glenn's father married Mark's motherand Mark's mother had Demonica from an affair she hadhad. Therefore, Glenn and Demonica were in no shape orform related. Mark was however related to Demonicathrough their mother. Glenn was born through his ownmother who had died tragically in a car accident oneyear after Glenn had been born so he didn't even knowher. Glenn and Mark were related only by marriage andthat's the way it was. Glenn looked over at Demonica and knew that she wasnervous as Hell about seeing Mark again, but hecouldn't help that. He had to get this straightenedout because he wanted to be in the Ministry and knewthat Mark seeing his baby sister might let Glenn ineasier, even though something told him that it wasgoing to be easier said than done. He grabbed her handand kissed the top of it, letting her know thateverything was going to be okay. He seen her smileback at him and seen her start to drift off to sleep.Smirking widely, Glenn decided to let her get somerest, knowing she would need it for the encounter withher brother in just a few short hours. Natalie was just roaming the castle grounds when sheseen Mark. She went over to him and Mark wrapped aprotective arm around her waist, kissing her on theforehead lovingly. He just plastered on a fake smileand watched as Natalie smiled up at Mark. He had toadmit they came a long way.... ~Past~ Back in the old Ministry days, life was so much harderthan it was now. Masters had maidens as their slavesand forced them to do whatever they pleased. Thisincluded Natalie and Mark. Natalie was Mark's slaveand did whatever he wanted, even though she despisedthe ground the man walked on. Hell, she couldn't evenstand to look in his cold, heartless green orbswithout feeling disgusted with herself. One night in particular was the end for her as Markhad just gotten back from being on the road and seenthat his slave wasn't waiting for him. When he finally found her, crouched in a corner of thebasement with torn clothes and a battered body, Mark'snostrils flared in absolute anger and his chest heavedup and down as he bore a hole right in her very souland she was terrified. She felt Mark grab her by herhair, making her scream out in pain as Mark belted herone right across the face, bruising it instantly. "LET ME GO!!!!!!" She howled, waking the entirehousehold up and that made Mark clamp his large handover her mouth as he dragged her to his chambers,ready to teach her a lesson she'd never forget. Mark threw her on the floor, cracking her chin on topof it, but that wasn't the end of it. He lifted her upand pinned her to the bed by both hands with one ofhis, making tears stream down her face in absoluteterror. He smiled sadistically down at her and startedundressing her, but Mark had gotten distracted andwent to see what the commotion was and that's whenNatalie hurled herself out of the window, crashing tothe ground with a sickening thud. It was a miracle that she survived and Mark vowed thenand there to never treat a lady in that manner again.Soon after that the two fell in love and were marriedin an unholy wedding ceremony. He was absolutelydisgusted with the way Natalie had forgiven him andhadn't returned until now. Natalie seen the tears in Mark's eyes and realizedthat he had just endured the night when she plummetedto her death, or so she thought. God she would neverforget that night and neither would Mark, who had asympathetic look on his face, but Natalie refused tolet him feel sorry for himself. She remembered thelast time that happened and it wasn't a pretty sight. "Stop it before I hurl your ass through those windows.It was a long time ago. Forget about it." Nataliestated and walked away, not wanting to relive herhistory with Mark, which wasn't a very pleasant one atall. God she did things she never dreamed she'd do andwould never, ever forget them even though she tried.Alone and seeing no one around, Natalie finally founda dark corner and quietly sobbed to herself, needingthe release. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!???? GET THE FUCKOUT OF MY ROOM RIGHT NOW!!!!!" I screamed at the topof my lungs when I seen John and Skye making out on mybed. They immediately scrambled for their belongings andquietly exited the way they had entered, leaving me towallow in my self pity. Tears of pain and heart sliddown my cheeks as I got up and looked in the mirror,not liking what I seen. Years of torment and abuse had taken effect on me as Iseen dark circles under my sapphire blue eyes, thatonce had the fire and life inside of them, whichlooked dead and dark. My hair was a mess and wasgetting longer and longer as the days passed by.Wrinkles were starting to form on my face and I was aspale as white, glistening snow. God I looked terrible! I quickly ran back to the bed and covered up, notwanting to see another day, another look of myself.The only thing I wanted to do was sleep and that'sexactly what I was going to do. I then thought ofBrock and what he had said, but truth be told; Ididn't know what I wanted. I had been abused foralmost five years by my ex and Brock actually wantedme to tell him what I wanted?! I sighed as I wiped my tears away and snuggled underthe covers, knowing I had to leave the followingnight, no matter how weak or unprepared I was. I hadto get away before it was to late. Satisfied with mysomewhat thought up plan, I closed my eyes and driftedinto a restless sleep, not seeing the shadowed figurestaring at me with those icy blue orbs of his. 'You won't be going anywhere Jessie unless its over mydead body!' Brock thought deadly as he stormed off,needing to get his plan in action for Jessie'sdeparture. Chapter 13 "Oh God John..." Skye moaned once they were inside hischambers, her tiny fingers running through his shortbrown hair and his hands roaming up and down thelength of her skinny body. He was lighting her completely on fire! Their lips metin another passionate kiss, this time more eager anddemanding, which Skye didn't have a problem with. Hescooped her up in his strong arms and carried her tothe bed, gently laying her down and never breaking thekiss. He parted her lips with his tongue, plungingdeep inside her depths and tasting her once again,making her senses reel out of control. Once John brokethe kiss, Skye immediately scooted back from him, herwhole body shaking and her breathing ragged. Tearswere in her eyes as she started for the door, but Johnmade quick work of the lock and key deal. She startedpanicking and started banging on the door with hertiny fists, making John more confused than ever. "Please don't do this John. Just let me go..." Skyetrailed off, her voice cracking from the fear buildingup inside of her. "Shhh calm down woman I ain't gonna hurt you." Johnstated, walking over to her and stopped right behindher as he wrapped his arms around her waist, pullingher close to his body. "I just wanna hold you tonightunder the full moon's light. Won't you let me do that?Or do I have to escape quicker than a blood suckingbat?" Skye laughed and turned around, hugging John to her asthe tears dried on her eyes and cheeks. He picked herhead up and brushed his lips to hers in a passionatekiss. "Mmmm that felt good. Why me?" Skye asked once more,making John smile down at her as he picked her up onceagain in his arms. "Cause you're the only one for me baby. Lay down inthis bed and let me hold you close." John replied asSkye nodded her head at him and laid down, sighingwhen she felt John wrap his strong arms around herwaist, pulling her even closer. "Do you think she's mad at me?" Skye asked quietly,making John kiss the back of her neck softly. "Go to sleep and worry about it tomorrow." Johnreplied in a low voice that made Skye close her eyesand fall into a restless slumber while John juststared at her with the moonlight as his only light. 'If your father was still alive, I'd fuck him up andmake him apologize. No one will ever hurt you againbecause if they do, I'll kill them with my knife.'John thought as he finally fell asleep. Mark was sitting in his study room, reading some kindof binding spell for a few members of his Ministrywhen there was a knock on the main mansion doors.Looking up and taking his glasses off, Mark set thebook down and went to answer it, hoping whoever it washad a pretty damn good reason for being here in themiddle of the night. He slipped on his black cloak andwent to the doors, opening them and was shocked to seehis own baby sister staring back at him with thosesame emerald green orbs so much like his own. "Hello my brother." She replied, tears forming in hereyelids as Glen stepped out of the darkness. "Hello brother." Glenn replied, making Mark's headspin as he seen his half brother and sister staringback at him. "What do you two want?" Mark asked gruffly, notwanting to show how happy he actually was to see them. Demonica didn't say anything as she flung herself inhis arms, squeezing the life out of her big brotherand just let the tears pour down her cheeks and soakhis cloak. Mark hesitantly wrapped his arms around hissister's shaking body and pulled her close, kissingthe top of her head and tried to calm her down. "Forgive us Mark, please." Demonica whispered, hervoice to hoarse and filled with emotion to speak outloud. "Come in." Mark replied, holding open the door forGlenn and his sister, wondering what they wanted andwas about to find out... The moon was in the sky and full of life as I quicklygot dressed in my black clothes, knowing I had toleave on this night, no matter what. That son of abitch was going to pay for what he did to me, nomatter what. There was so much hatred and fire burningin my soul that I was about to explode. I quickly putmy black steel toed boots on and grabbed my bag,leaving a measly note as an explanation to Brock andquickly started tying the rope I had found earlierthat day to the bedpost, knowing it would hold my bodysince I was light. I threw the rope down the fourstory window and started descending it when I felt ahand cover my mouth and drag me toward the bed. "Let me..." I started to scream but was muzzled by apair of lips on mine. "Don't fight me Jessie." I heard that familiar voicewhisper in my ear just as I felt a cloth cover mymouth and nose. Darkness finally enveloped my body as I went limp inthe arms of Brock, who had a smirk plastered on hisface. 'Now for phase two of my plan.' Brock thought as hepicked her lifeless body up in his strong arms andcarried her out of the room and toward his ownchambers. Natalie was walking through the hallways of themansion, thinking about the confrontation she had justhad with both her master and her best friend when sheseen Mark lead two people into his study. Quickly andquietly so no one would hear her, Natalie listenedthrough the door, not believing what she was hearing! Mark had a brother and sister and she didn't even knowit?! Natalie was fueled with absolute rage and deceitthat she just hauled off and kicked his door in,startling all three of the members in the room.Natalie's eyes turned a dangerous red and her hairflew up all over the place as the wind startedspinning things around. She lifted her hands in theair and disappeared as fast as she came, leaving allthree members in shocked silence with one Hell of amess to clean up. "Shit!" Mark muttered sharply as he quickly rushed outof the room, desperately trying to find his mistresswho wasn't in a happy mood. Chapter 14 "So you want to be in my Ministry?" Mark asked,rubbing his chin deep in thought. "Why?" Glenn stood up along with Demonica and said, "Becauseyou need me in the Ministry brother. You need mystrength and my power and you know that NO ONE cantake charge the way that I can. I have prove.Demonica?" Demonica didn't say a word as she lowered her head andgot down on her hands and knees, hearing that noisethat set her loins on fire. It was the noise that madeher absolutely drunk with desire. She licked her lipsand was about to give Glenn what he wanted when Markstood her up and put her behind him, fire of hatred inhis eyes. "You sick FUCK! How could you do this to OUR sister?!"Mark growled, making Demonica peek behind Mark andseen Glenn smirk widely at her. "Simple brother. She's not MY sister. She's YOURsister." Glen replied, making Mark sick with disgustas he stared down into Demonica's eyes, mirror imagesof his own. He was about to say something else when the doors flewopen and there stood Natalie, anger burning in hereyes as she stared directly at Mark, who wasdumbfounded and speechless at the moment. However, shewas gone as fast as she had arrived and Mark mutteredsomething as he made his way out of the room, leavingGlenn and Demonica standing there in a daze. "What the Hell was that?" Glenn asked, making Demonicashake her head at him. "I have no idea." "NATALIE!!" Mark bellowed as he stormed through themansion, anger and confusion burning in his emeraldgreen orbs. "NATALIE!!!" "WHAT?!" He heard her scream and quickly ran up thestairs, two at a time and threw open the door to oneof the guest rooms, seeing her sitting on the bed withtears streaming down her face. "Don't even think abouttalking to me right now Mark! I'm in NO mood." "How did you do that?" Mark asked, ignoring herthreats. Natalie sat up and bore a hole through his very soul,her eyes still a blood red. Mark actually had to takea step back, not wanting to anger her anymore than shealready was. "Obviously you don't know me as well as you thoughtyou did. I studied Wicca for most of my life, darkblack magic." Natalie replied, standing up and staringdeep in the flames of the fireplace that was in theroom. "Why haven't you used it until now then?" Mark asked,making her cackle in a slow, seductive, dangeroustone. "Mark, I couldn't hurt you even if I wanted too. Allthe Hell you put me through was just a mirror test foryou. You see, I wasn't as damaged as you might havethought I was. I didn't have the heart to use my magicagainst you and I never will." Natalie explained, hereyes returning back to their normal color and that'swhen Mark took her in his arms, holding her close andkissed her forehead lovingly. "I swear to you I will never hurt you like that again.Natalie, why did you let your power show now?" Markasked, looking deep in her eyes. "I was angry that you didn't tell me you had a brotherand a sister. I mean I knew you and Glenn were close,but I didn't realize exactly how close." Nataliemumbled, burying her face deep in his chest andinhaling his scent. "I'm sorry Mark." "Glenn and I are not very close Natalie. We're barelybrothers, just like Demonica. We're not close either."Mark sighed, wishing he would have told her about thislong ago instead of her finding out like this. "Can I meet them?" She asked, hope filling her eyes. Mark sighed, knowing she couldn't really meet themuntil he was certain that they were safe and loyal tohim. He looked down at her, wishing that he couldtrust his siblings, but knew it would never happen. "Soon baby. Soon." I woke up sometime later that night feeling a wave ofdizziness wash over me immediately. The room was darkand the only light I had was from the moonlightshining in the room. My head was pounding from theafter effects of that horrible smelling sleepingsubstance that was bestowed upon me only hours ago.The memories of a few hours ago suddenly came rushingback to me and I tried getting up, but I couldn't. Ilooked up and seen my wrists cuffed to the bedposts,sending a sensation of dread course throughout mybody. Tears started welling up in my eyes as I lookeddown and seen I was dressed in a black sleeping gown,the top of my breasts showing and pushing at thematerial. It was spaghetti strapped and trimmed withblack lace around the straps and the bottom of thegown. My hair was also put up in a high ponytail orsomething like that and I had a black silky blanketsnuggled tight around my waist. The gown felt as if itwent down a little past my knees, but I knew it waslonger than that. I sighed with relief. Hearing the doorknob start to turn and the door slowlycreak open, I whipped my head in the direction andgasped at what I saw. There was Brock standing beforeme, his arms crossed in front of his big, massivechest and he was bare-chested with a pair of snugblack jeans. His hair looked to be wet from what Icould tell in the moonlight and he smelled so good. Iclosed my eyes when I felt a flashback coming back tome and it wasn't something I wanted to remember. ~*Don't fight me Jessie*~ "It was you!" I stated, tearing my eyes away from hisas I felt the bed dip. "You're not leaving me Jessie. I did what I had todo." Brock replied, sitting down on the bed beside meand gently grabbed my chin, making me lock eyes withhis. "By kidnapping me and making me stay here against mywill!?" I exclaimed with anger in my eyes, tearsthreatening to fall as my vision became blurry. "Let me love you Jessie..." Brock trailed off as heleaned down and started kissing my neck softly withhis lips and traced it with his tongue, but I refusedto give in. "Let me make you feel like a realwoman..." "Never!" I spat, spitting in his face, angering him tosay the least. "You wanna play that way? FINE!" Brock shouted,terrifying me as he ripped the sheets away from mybody exposing the black lacey gown that was put on me."We'll play your way but one way or the other, I willhave you as mine!!" I started crying softly as I felt his body roamingover mine as he ran his strong hands up the length ofmy body. I tried everything I could to resist him, butthe seduction was too strong for me to take. "Brock please don't..." I whimpered and he immediatelystopped, staring deep in my eyes and seen the truefear in them. "Don't do this to me." "God I'm so sorry Jessie." Brock cried as he uncuffedmy hands and stood up, looking out the window."Leave." Tears slid down my cheeks as I started for the doorand put my hand on the knob, but something stopped mefrom leaving. The door was unlocked and I was finallyfree to go, but I couldn't do it. I turned back aroundand stared at Brock and I seen the tears sliding downhis cheeks as well. "What if I don't want to leave?" Brock turned around with a ton of questions in hiseyes and I smiled as I walked over to him, lockingeyes with his as I slid my hand in his and pulled himclose, passionately kissing his lips and I felt hisarms wrap around my waist, pulling me even closer. Histongue slid inside my mouth, dueling with my own and Ibroke the kiss, caressing his cheek lovingly. "Why aren't you leaving?" Brock asked, making me lookdown and I kissed his chest softly, running my handsover it. "Shhhh. Make love to me Brock, please." I whispered,making Brock look down in my eyes and I seen thedesire coursing through them. "Are you sure Jessie?" Brock asked, worry evidentshowing in his eyes. I answered his question by pulling him down foranother kiss, knowing he would make me his on thisnight. Chapter 15 "I can't make love to you right now." Brock replied,making my heart drop to the depths of my stomach as Ibacked away from him, tears of pain in my eyes. "You don't want too, do you? You never did!" Iexclaimed and started to run toward the door when Ifelt his arms wrap around my waist again. "Yes I do, but not yet. We have to go. Mark isexpecting us." Brock stated, grabbing me by the handand dragging me out of the room and up the stairs,confusing me to say the least. Her eyes opened to the bright moonlight shining downon her and John's bodies, which were cuddled together.Skye smiled as she got up and looked down at John'ssleeping form and gently brushed her lips against his,seeing his eyes flutter open and he smiled up at her.He lifted his hand and caressed her cheek lovinglybefore pulling her down for a passionate kiss. "What's up?" He asked once the kiss was broken. "Master wants to see us right now. I have no idea whatit's about, but I do know that it can't be good. Comeon." Skye said, holding her hand out to him and hetook it as they walked out of the room together andtoward Mark's study, where all the meetings were held. Mark and Natalie emerged from their chambers, seeingeveryone there and this made Mark extremely pleased,but there was something different. He seen the youngwoman he saved a few nights back in the dark alley wayand smiled at her with a sympathetic one. "Demonica and Glenn's ceremony shall be held underwayon the next full moon. They are considered our newestmembers." Mark declared, making every eye in the roomteary. "Thank you brother for this chance." Glenn stated andshook hands. "Mark?" Demonica asked, making him look down at her. "I'm sorry." She then turned to Glenn and knew shewould regret this later, but at that moment she didn'tcare. "I'm not your slave anymore. I'm done with thatshit. So if you want a real relationship with me,you'll have to earn it." With that said and done, she walked out of the roomand toward her bedroom, needing to have herself a goodcry over the disturbing anguish that Glenn had put herthrough. Glenn on the other hand was livid! He started goingafter her, but Mark stopped him, shaking his head athim and letting him know that absolutely no violenceagainst women would take place in this house. Glennnodded his head, not wanting to hurt her. He wanted tobe with her if anything and would do just that. "Now that this is settled, I have one last thing totake care of. Jessie come here." Mark commandedgently, making me stand up and lower my head, notwanting to look anyone in the eye, especially Skye andJohn. "Raise your head girl when you talk to me." I did just that. "Do you love Brock?" Mark asked bluntly, making myeyes widen with surprise. "How am I supposed to answer that?" I replied, makinghim quirk an eyebrow at me. "Yes or no?" Mark retorted, smirking at me and I justlowered my eyes. "Yes." I whispered, making Mark pick my chin up in hisstrong hand, looking deep in my eyes. "Are you in love with him?" Natalie asked, making mesmile as I nodded my head at her. She was much easier to answer too and I seen Marksmile at her. "Brock come here." Natalie commanded, making him standup and saunter up to the front, immediately entwiningour fingers together. "Do you love..." "Yes to both questions." Brock replied before Nataliecould even ask him. "Your bonding ceremony will take place tomorrow night.You're dismissed." Mark stated, making my eyes widenwith shock as Brock pulled me out of the room, knowingBrock would question me about what I had just did inthere. "Skye get up here." Mark growled, making her eyeswiden with fear as she shakily got up and bowed infront of her master, knowing she and John couldn't betogether, no matter what. "What's with you and John?" "I promise I'll end it master. I don't want to upsetyou." Skye replied, heartache evident in her voice andMark immediately softened on her. "Don't you do that. You and him belong together andyour bonding ceremony will be in one week. Until then,you cannot make love and that goes for Brock andJessie as well. That's why he stopped himself frommaking love to her a few minutes prior to thismeeting. You are free to go." Mark stated, making Skyestand up with tears in her eyes. "Thank you master." She stated and started walkingback to John when Mark grabbed her hand and pulled herinto his arms. "You're one of us now." Skye smiled and her and John left to go back to theirchambers. "The rest of you are dismissed." Mark stated andgrabbed Natalie's hand, leading her toward their ownchambers. Chapter 16 "Bonding ceremony?" I asked, confused as to what wasgoing on once we arrived back in the room. "Yes." Brock said, laying down on the bed and puttinghis hands behind his head. "Did you mean it?" I turned around and met his eyes and said, "What?" Brock sat up and walked toward me, wrapping his armsaround my body and started kissing my neck softly andwhispered, "What you said at the meeting. Did you meanit?" "Yes." I hissed when I felt him bite into my flesh andI raked my fingernails down his back, making him growlout in desire. "Damn it!" Brock growled from the back of his throatas he inhaled the scent of my hair. "God I wish Icould make love to you." "Why can't you?" I asked barely above a whisper, myvoice very shaky from the intensity of desire that wasflowing through me. "We have to wait until we're bonded." Brock said witha deep sigh, pulling me over to the bed and I startedsmirking widely as I started crawling up his body,licking my lips at him as I straddled his legs,pulling my gown up over my head, but Brock stopped me,knowing what would happen if I did that. "Don't dothat. I don't care what you have planned. You takethat gown off and I'll take you right here and now." I laughed as I crawled up the length of his body andpressed my lips to his, making a groan escape Brock'slips and I broke it as I curled up beside him andclosed my eyes, feeling his hand rubbing the small ofmy back in circles, lulling me to sleep as well ashimself as he wrapped me tightly in his arms, coveringus both up with the blanket just as the sun came up. "John, I'm scared." Skye said as soon as he shut thedoor to his chambers. "Baby it's going to be okay. We have a whole week sodon't worry about it." John replied, wrapping his armsaround her waist. "I can't help it. I don't want to get hurt and I knowthat the bonding ceremony does that." She said, tearsforming in her eyes as she turned around and startedcrying on his chest. "Skye look at me." John gently commanded, making herlift her red eyes to his. "Is our love worth it?" "What?" She asked confused as to what he was askingher. "Is this..." He trailed off, pointing at the two ofthem. "Worth the pain? Is our love worth the pain?" "Of course it is John!" Skye exclaimed, caressing hisface with the back of her hand. "I love you." John smiled and said, "Say that again." Skye smiled back and repeated, "I love you John." "God I love you too Skye." John replied, picking herup and swinging her in the air, making her squeal outin delight. Chapter 17 Demonica ran to her room and slammed the door shut,locking it in the process and collapsed on top of thebed, crying her heart out to the silence. She lovedGlenn, God help her, but he was so cruel to her. Sheknew he could never love her the way she would likehim to and it broke her heart to know that it wasnever going to happen. She wiped her tears away withthe back of her hand when she heard a knock on herdoor and went to answer it, backing up when she seenwho it was. "Please don't hurt me." Demonica whispered, loweringher head to the floor, not able to look the man sheloved more than life itself in the eye. "I'm not going to hurt you baby. Not anymore." Glennsaid, caressing her cheek with the back of his hand."Demonica, I love you." Tears slid down her cheeks as she heard him say thethree words that she had only dreamed of him saying.She closed her eyes and leaned into his hand, moaningwhen Glenn captured her lips with his in a passionatekiss that wasn't mean and cold hearted. No. This kisswas full of love and desire, something that Demonicahad never experienced before and it felt so wonderful.She backed up against the bed and fell, never breakingthe kiss Glenn had bestowed upon her. She wrapped herarms around his neck, caressing his face with herhands and moving from side to side until Glenn finallybroke it, staring deep in her emerald green eyes. "Can I make love to you Demonica?" Tears brimming hiseyes as he leaned down and inhaled her scent from herhair. "I swear I'll be gentle." "Yes." Demonica breathlessly said, making Glenn smiledown at her as he took her lips with his again, movinglower and kissing along her jaw line, making Demonicaarch her back and neck up, giving him more access asshe ran her fingers through his long dark ringlets. Glenn attached his lips to her neck, nibbling andsucking softly on her delicate flesh, wanting her tofeel like a real woman. No more beatings. No moreraping. No more roughness. This was all going to begentle because Glenn wanted her to be his forever. Hestarted moving lower, bringing her body up to his andtaking off her blood red nightgown she had put onbefore he had shown up. He licked his lips when shehad absolutely nothing on under it and took fulladvantage of her breasts, kissing in between them andmassaged her right breast while attaching his lips toher other one with his lips and tongue, making itinstantly hard. Demonica moaned, running her fingersthrough his hair and loving the feel of his lips onher body. He was making her insane and craving formore. Glenn finally took pity on her once he seen hernipples weren't going to get any harder and placed heron top of the bed with her legs wrapped around hiswaist. Glenn looked deep into her eyes as he unwrappedthem and got up, undressing himself completely andthen got back on top of her, positioning himself ather treasure he had drove himself in so many times,but this time it was going to be nice and slow. Not a word was spoken as Glenn pushed himself insideof her, stretching her to the limits and thenproceeded to thrust slowly, methodically in and out ofher, wanting this to last as long as possible.Demonica moaned very loudly as she wrapped her legsaround his waist and raked her fingernails down hisback, wanting him to go faster, but he resisted. "Glenn baby please...Faster..." Demonica trailed off,smiling when Glenn started slamming in and out of heras fast as he could, making her close her eyes andhissed in his ear. "Harder." Glenn spread her legs apart wider, driving himselfdeep, DEEP inside of her, perspiration starting toform on his forehead as the delicious noise of fleshon flesh smacking each other filled the room. Moansand groans as well. Finally, Glenn felt her wallsclamping down around his shaft and that was prettymuch all he could take as he growled out her name inhis release with one last stroke, exploding as deepinside of her as he could go. Demonica cried out hisname in total ecstasy as she felt him spill his seedinside of her and it was a feeling like no other. "GLENN!!!" "DEMONICA!" Glenn collapsed on top of her sweaty body, kissing herforehead lovingly and caressing her hair as he rolledoff of her, immediately pulling her in his strongembrace, kissing her shoulder blades and smiled whenhe heard her sigh in contentment. He felt her rest herhead on his chest, a feeling that was like no otherand he never wanted it to end. "I love you girl." Demonica rolled over and caressed his face and said,"And I love you." Chapter 18 I was sitting in Brock's chambers, looking in themirror when there was a knock on the door. I smiledand got up to answer it, grinning when I seen it wasSkye and she looked absolutely fantastic. A light bluesilky dress with a squared neckline was what her dresslooked like and it was spaghetti strapped. Hernecklace was a line full of diamonds with a light bluestone much like her dress attached to the necklace.Her hair was up in a twist with light blue clips onboth sides of her hair. "Mark wanted me to send this to you for your bondingceremony tonight." Skye stated, lowering her eyes andI smiled and lifted her chin up with my hand. "Don't worry about the other night. I was angry, buttonight I want you to be my witness. Would you do thatfor me?" I asked, making her eyes light up inhappiness. "YES! Okay, can I help you get ready?" She askedexcitedly and I nodded my head yes, knowing I wouldneed help getting ready. The dress was a sapphire blue, long and slim with acrystal diamond in the crease of my breasts where theV-neck ended. The dress was long sleeved and velvetwith a shimmer to it and went past my feet. It wasabsolutely gorgeous and just the right size. Skye didmy hair up in tons of spiral curls with her curlingiron and put a clip in my hair that was the same coloras my dress, making my hair frame my face and hangdown past my rear end. Then she proceeded to decoratemy eyes with blue eyeliner and put just a hint ofsilver eye shadow above the eyeliner, bringing out mysapphire blue orbs nicely. The last thing she put onme was a necklace with a beautiful sapphire blue gemattached to a row of diamonds as the necklace. It wasabsolutely breathtaking and brought tears to my eyes. "No don't cry. You'll ruin my masterpiece." Skye said,tears forming in her own as well. "You look amazing." "Thank you for everything." I said, hugging Skye anddesperately tried not to tear up again. Our moment was disturbed by another knock on the doorand it opened to reveal Mark. I looked into his eyesand seen the light shining in them. He really likedwhat I was wearing. "You look stunning, Jessie." Mark said, making mesmile as I hugged him. "Thank you Mark. You saved my life and brought me hereto meet the man I wanna spend the rest of my lifewith. You brought me here from the shadows of my fateand darkness and helped me understand what life cantruly bring you. I'm ready to join your Ministry." Ireplied, looking him straight in the eye. "You're welcome Jessie. I knew you were somethingspecial. I just didn't realize it until now. Theceremony will begin in one hour. You have somevisitors outside." Mark replied, making me smile as Inodded at him as he kissed my cheek and walked out,leaving the door open and in walked Natalie andDemonica. "Hey girls! Thanks for coming. You all look fabulous!"I exclaimed, hugging all the girls that I had gottento know little by little. "Thank you too. Lord, Brock isn't going to know whathit him!" Natalie stated, smiling wide and she wasn'tlooking half bad herself. Her dress was long and slender made of silk and wasspaghetti strapped and it was black. She had her hairup with curls hanging down her neck and framing herface accompanied with a black onyx stone with diamondsattached to the stone. It was gorgeous and so was she. Demonica was wearing a blood red velvet dress thatfanned out on the bottom and it was long sleeved witha low plunging V-neck. Her necklace was a blood redstone with onyx stones attached to it for thenecklace. It was one of a kind and very pretty. Herhair was left down and the ends were curled, giving ita little bounce. She looked awesome. "You got that right Natalie. I mean you'd think thiswas her wedding day or something." Demonica stated,making all four of the girls laugh including herself. "Brock is gonna drop dead when he see's you." Skyereplied, smiling wide at me. I sighed as I sat down and the other girls followedand we just waited silently for the knock on the doorthat would seal my fate once and for all. I bit mylower lip and became very nervous as the time slowlyticked by and I wondered what Brock was doing at thatprecise moment... "You look nice man." Mark said just as the other twomen arrived. "She really loves you." "Yeah I know. You all look cool." Brock replied,smiling as they all took a seat and waited as the timewent by and Brock got a good look at all of them. Brock was wearing a dark blue silk shirt with twobuttons undone and his pants were black dress ones.His hair was spiked up with gel and he had on a silverRolex watch. Glenn was wearing a blood red dress shirt that Markhad provided for him accompanied with a pair of blackdress pants and his hair was pulled back in a tight,low ponytail. His goatee was trimmed just right and hehad on a black onyx Rolex, which was very rare. John was wearing a light blue throwback jersey,refusing to be like the others with a pair of lightblue jean shorts and a light blue band on his head.His hair was spiked up the best he could and he waswearing his padlock on a silver chain. He was indeedthe unique one. Last but not least was Mark and he had on a hisMinistry robe. His hair was left down and wet from ashower and his goatee was trimmed just right. Theteardrop was under his right eye and was wearing hissymbol on a silver chain around his neck. "It's time." Mark announced and was on his way toretrieve the ladies. "Stay here Brock. The rest of youfollow me." I whipped my head at the door when I heard that knockI had been waiting for. My hands became sweaty and myheart started to race as Skye answered the door,letting in three out of four of the men that were inthe mansion. I seen all the ladies and guys drop theirjaws at each other, not believing how handsome andbeautiful each looked to each other. I only hopedBrock liked the way I looked. Mark came over to me after receiving a huge lip lockfrom Natalie and said, "Who is your witness?" "Skye." "Very well. John was chosen by Brock." Mark stated,winking at me. I smiled and everyone came over and wished me luck. Ismiled at all of them and told them that I didn't needit, but thanked them anyway and then they were off tothe ceremony. I sat on my bed and waited for Brock tocome and get me just like he was supposed too. Itwiddled my fingers and watched as Mark set up thewhole bedroom, candles lit everywhere and then he cameover, kissed me on the cheek and was out the door toretrieve Brock. I could only hope what was about tohappen next. Chapter 19 I laid down on the bed and closed my eyes, knowing itwas part of the ceremony. I put my hands at my sidesand waited for Brock to come retrieve me. I tensed upwhen I heard the doorknob turn and the door open, butI could not see who it was because my eyes were stillclosed. Brock's breath was caught in his throat at the site ofthe sleeping angel laying in his bed. My God she wasbeautiful before, but now she was just downrightstunning! That dress and hair, everything wasgorgeous. Brock sat down on the bed and caressed hercheek lovingly, watching as her voluptuous chest roseand fell with every breath that escaped her full poutyglossy lips. Brock couldn't contain himself anymore.He bent down and captured her lips with his in apassionate kiss, making Jessie wrap her arms aroundhis neck instinctively and a moan escaped her lips aswell. Brock broke the kiss and looked down at her,seeing she was still asleep or at least pretendingtoo. He smiled as he picked her body up in his strongarms, feeling her go limp as he carried her downstairstoward the ceremony. I kept my eyes closed as instructed by Mark and feltmy body being laid on a concrete platform and I feltthem strap me down, never opening my eyes, at leastnot until I was allowed. I felt a hand being placed onmy forehead and heart, knowing this was all part ofthe ceremony. I felt Brock's hand touch mine and hekissed my lips, holding them there firmly in place asMark chanted his tongue in Ministrian, a language thatthe Ministry formed themselves. "Open your eyes." Mark commanded and I did, lookingdeep in Brock's eyes and he just smiled at me as Adamand Glenn strapped him on another board right next tome. "You two have decided to be together and with thatdecision comes a great bonding. Skye, hand me mydagger." I gulped, but didn't say a word as I felt the knifeslice into the flesh of my hand, making tears form inmy eyes, but I didn't scream or anything. I bit mybottom lip really hard when I felt the knife cut intomy other hand, making a trickle of my blood pour onthe board. "Bring me the chalice." Mark commanded, making Skyehand it to him as she watched what her and John weregoing to have to go through. After cutting both of Brock's palms like mine, Markmixed our blood in the chalice and had us each drinkhalf the glass, bonding us together physically. Afterthat was done, we were both unstrapped from ourplatforms and stood in front of Mark, gazing at oneanother. "Put your hands together and bind your blood once andfor all. If you wish to do the entire ceremony, thanBrock needs to ask his mistress right now." Markstated and we entwined our fingers together, pressingour palms together and mixing our blood as one."Calmauge saiene!" "Brock, do you wish to carry on with the entireceremony or not?" Mark asked, making me quirk aneyebrow at my newly bonding partner. "What is he talking about?" I asked, making Brockstare deep in my eyes as he grabbed my hands in his. "Do you love me?" Brock asked, dead serious about whathe just asked me. "Yes I do, but I don't under..." Brock pressed hisfingertips to my lips, hushing me as he got down onone knee and pulled out a black velvet box, opening itin the process and I gasped at what I seen. It was a rare sapphire blue stone cut in the shape ofa heart set in a silver band with black onyx stonessurrounding it. It was absolutely gorgeous and I juststared in Brock's eyes, not believing what washappening. "Marry me Jessie, right here, right now." Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked over at Skyeand Demonica, who had tears of their own in their eyesas well as the rest of the girls. They were allnodding their heads at me and I just took the ring outof the box, slipped it on my finger and nodded my headyes, not able to speak from the build up of emotion inmy voice. Brock nodded and stood back up, grabbing myhands in his, which were fully healed up miraculouslyand smiled as Mark proceeded with the ceremony. "Do you Jessie, take Brock Lesnar, to be your unholysoul mate and serve in the Ministry as long as youboth shall live?" Mark asked, making me smile wide. "Yes." "Do you Brock Lesnar, take Jessie, to be your unholysoul mate and serve in the Ministry as long as youboth shall live?" Mark asked, making Brock smirk atme. "You're mine now." Mark smiled at Brock's response and the rest of theceremony was like a blur to me, but the one thing Iremembered was the kiss that sealed the deal so tospeak. He bent me down and took my lips in his in ahungry, promising kiss that left me absolutelybreathless when he tilted me back up to standvertically. "It is time." Mark announced, making Brock grin as hepicked me up in his strong arms and proceeded to carryme upstairs, never taking his eyes from mine. "I love you my mistress." Brock whispered as he placedme gently on the bed and locked the door, getting backon top of me and capturing my lips with his. "I love you too blue eyes." I replied, making himsmirk down at me as he slowly started undressing me,kissing every inch of my body as he slowly took thedress off of me. He lifted me off the bed with easeand slid the dress off, throwing it into a pile on thefloor. I got up and walked away from him, turning my back andlet down my long black curly hair, letting it flowdown my back in waves. I looked over my shoulder athim and winked, making his jaw almost drop to thefloor. I crooked my finger at him, beckoning him tocome over and retrieve me and he didn't waste any timeas he scooped me up in his strong arms and placed meback on the bed. Brock smiled as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt,tossing it to the floor and leaving me to drool overhis bare naked chest. God he was a wonderful piece ofmeat! I licked my lips as I laid down on the bed in mydark blue bra and panties set, offering myself to mymaster and my husband. Brock crawled on the bed andslowly stalked up my body, making me tremble withdesire beneath him. He slowly started running hishands all over my body, whispering soothing words ofencouragement in my ear and I stopped trembling littleby little. I had to admit I was scared to deathbecause I was still innocent in my opinion. Myinnocence was stolen from me by force so as far as Iwas concerned, this was my first time. Brock kissed my lips and moved down, tracing my jawline with his lips and tongue, sending bolts ofelectricity down my spine. He smirked at the effect hewas having on me and continued his assault, making mesigh with contentment and moan with pleasure, whichwas exactly what I was feeling at that moment. Brockmoved just a little lower, taking the tender flesh ofmy neck in his mouth, sucking and nibbling on it andit was a feeling that I couldn't describe. It wasabsolutely amazing! After thoroughly giving my neck the attention itdeserved, Brock moved lower, kissing and licking everyinch of me, making me throw my hands above my head andI closed my eyes as he lifted me up and unsnapped mybra, throwing it on the floor in the pile of clothesthat were already forming. Brock got on his knees andI wrapped my legs around his waist as he leaned downand captured one of my nipples in his mouth whilemassaging the other with his strong hand, making mecrazy insane with desire. When he seen that my nipplewasn't going to get any harder and my skin wasflushed, he started his assault on my other nipple andproceeded to give it the exact same treatment. I threwmy head back and ran my fingers over his short blondehair, moaning and pleading him to show me some mercy. Brock finally took some mercy on me and laid me backdown, kissing my lips again as he started moving downmy body again, kissing and licking his path andleaving a trail of fire down my body. I whimpered whenI felt his fingers hook inside my panties and sighedwhen he slowly pulled them down my long smooth legs.Brock smiled as he started kissing my feet verylightly and moved his way up, leaving another trail ofkisses up my legs and my inner thighs and he proceededto give me the exact same treatment again with myother leg and inner thigh, making me squirm and beghim for some attention. He smirked up at me and said, "I have to taste youfirst baby." I whimpered louder as he put both my legs on bothsides of his head, positioning his tongue at my hot,dripping wetness and he licked his lips and started tosoftly kiss my shaven mound, making me cry out infrustration. Brock smiled as started to slowly tracemy outer lips with his tongue, making me squirm and heheld down my waist while he teased me over and overagain with his hot tongue. He finally took some pityon me and licked up and down my slit, going deeper anddeeper with each stroke and I finally started moaning,needing this release that was building up inside of meall this time and I could feel the perspiration startto form on my forehead. Brock finally couldn't takeanymore of this and plunged his tongue deep inside ofme, making me cry out in pleasure and he proceeded tothrust harder and harder with each stroke, driving meto the other side of insanity. I finally felt my wallsclamp around his tongue and let my hot liquid juicesflow inside his willing and greedy mouth, drinking mecompletely dry and then sucked on my very sensitiveand swollen bud. I collapsed on the bed in a heap, breathing veryheavily and my chest was heaving up and down. I feltBrock start to climb up my body and knew I was farfrom being done that night. I tried to get mybreathing under control as he kissed both sides of myhips, and eventually found my lips with his, lettingme taste myself on his tongue and it was very eroticand surprisingly turned me on even more than I alreadywas. I locked eyes with Brock's and knew this was themoment we both had been waiting and craving for. Brock got off of me and took his boxers off and thenclimbed up my body, passionately kissing my lips againand I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist,feeling him position himself at my center and I closedmy eyes as Brock leaned down near my ear andwhispered, "You're mine forever." With that said and done, Brock plunged deep inside ofme, making me cry out in absolute and utter ecstasyand Brock gripped her hips with his strong hands,driving himself inside of her, not able to take theslow pace, which I had absolutely no problem with. Iwanted him to drive himself as deep inside of me as hecould and I never wanted it to stop. I wrapped my armsaround his back and raked my fingernails roughly downit, wanting him to pick up the pace and he didn't letme down. He grabbed my thighs and pushed them as farapart as he could, thrusting in and out of me, goingdeeper and deeper with each stroke and it was the mostincredible feeling I'd ever felt in my entire life.I'd never felt anything like that before and wouldnever forget that night. The sound of flesh smackingflesh filled the room as Brock made love to me. Ifinally started feeling my inner walls clamp aroundhis shaft and that was pretty much his undoing asBrock slammed into me one last time, growling out myname in his release as I felt him explode as deepinside of me as I knew he would get. I cried out hisname at the exact same time because we had timed ourreleases perfectly and I felt him collapsed on top ofme, our sweat mixing, our hearts beating as one andour breathing ragged. After about a five minute rest, Brock rolled off of meand pulled me in his strong embrace, wrapping his armsaround my body and kissed my neck and shoulder bladesa few times while running his fingertips over thesmall of my back in circles, lulling me into a deepsleep, but I couldn't without telling him something. "Thank you Brock." I whispered, making Brock kiss mylips softly. "For what?" He asked once his breathing had calmeddown. "For making me feel like a real woman. I love you." Ireplied, closing my eyes as he kissed my shoulder. "I love you too Jessie." Soon sleep overtook both of our exhausted bodies afterthree more rounds of love making that night. Chapter 20 ~Winter 2001~ I'm sitting in my bedroom, looking at the picture ofmy husband and wondering when he was going to comehome. I closed my eyes as I remembered the day we leftthe mansion, needing our own space to live and Icouldn't be any happier than right now, but I did missmy sisters terribly. John and Skye moved out of the mansion as well,needing their own space just like Brock and I, butthat was after Mark married them and did the bondingceremony. Skye picked me as her witness and I wore thesame dress that I had worn the night Brock took myinnocence and made me his. I held her hand throughoutthe whole thing, knowing she was deathly scared, but Iknew she loved John as much as he did. The ceremonywas beautiful and they didn't come out of John'schambers for a week! Demonica and Glen still live in the mansion andthey've gradually come to trust each other, which wasvery difficult for Demonica, but I knew she loved himmore than anything in this world. They are engaged andare expected to have the wedding in the very nearfuture. Speaking of the future, Natalie was officiallypronounced pregnant with her and Mark's first child. Iwas so happy for them and promised to be there whenshe had the baby. We had become so close and we'repractically real sisters, along with Skye andDemonica. We were sisters of the same kind and lovedhanging out and talking to each other when we could.God I missed them so much and Brock as well. ~Summer 2002~ "God I'm going to miss you all so much. Please calland write okay?" I asked, tears streaming down mycheeks as I heard Brock beep the horn, signaling itwas time to go. "You bet we will. Please be careful." Skye pleaded,not wanting me to leave, but I didn't have a choice. "I love you all my sisters. I will talk to you allsoon." I replied, walking out of the door. "We love you too. Don't forget to make it to thebaby's arrival." Natalie reminded me, winking in theprocess. I walked up to Demonica and whispered, "Give Glen achance. He deserves it." Demonica nodded at me and quickly ran out of the roomafter hugging me tightly. I knew this was hurting herbadly, but I couldn't do anything about it. I finallywalked out of the mansion and toward my future andhusband. I waved one last time at my sisters andquickly got inside the car, knowing our plane would beleaving in just under two hours. ~Now~ My thoughts were broken when I seen a flash of lightenter the driveway and smiled, knowing it was Brock. Iquickly ran out of the door in my black nightgown andrushed to the door, flinging it open to reveal blueeyes himself staring back at me. I wrapped my armsaround his neck, squeezing the life out of him andpassionately kissed his lips, making a groan eruptfrom his lips. "Welcome home blue eyes." I whispered in his ear andsquealed when he picked me up in his strong arms andcarried me upstairs. I smiled, knowing life couldn'tget any better than this. All the turmoil in my lifeSuddenly drains awayI find myself searchingFor those familiar thingsLurking around in my mindBeckoning me to enter the darkness once moreI stay awayKnowing all my shadowsFinally have gone awayMy life nowHere to stay. The End. ~*Jaden*~
