Soul Eater Page 7

  She pointed to several small wooden structures that resembled shacks. While he was gone, Jenna stood at the entrance to the cave, focusing her energy on the darkness within. A few moments later he returned with exactly what they needed.

  “Is that enough to seal up the cave?” she asked.

  “It might be. I’m not sure since I am not an explosives expert,” he said with a wink.

  Jenna was amazed and somewhat disappointed in herself that even in the midst of such danger, he could still send her heart racing. “Does this thing only come out at night?”

  “So legend says, but you must remember they’re only legends.”

  “You must have belief in it or you wouldn’t be here. So what does it say, exactly?” she asked.

  “It is an evil spirit or demon if you will. It has no real physical form, but can manifest from its environment or through the souls that it devours. It cannot come out into the sunlight, but it can work through those who it has possessed during daylight hours.”

  “In that case we better get busy before we get caught by the Sinister Police.”

  He gave her a funny look but said nothing. He walked to the entrance. “Is anyone in there?” he called out loudly.

  At first there was only an echo of his voice, but deep in the cave there was a sound. A low rumbling growl that grew louder.

  “It knows we’re here,” he said as he was busy placing the explosives along the interior wall of the cave.

  Jenna continued to focus her energy on the cave, imagining a pure white light that would keep the evil at bay. She could feel it pulling at her mind, scratching the surface to enter. The growling grew louder and the inky darkness of the cave swirled with an even darker shadow.

  “Hurry,” she whispered.

  “I’m trying,” he said as he lit the fuse.

  He ran. Grabbing her hand, they scurried a good distance from the entrance. Sliding to the ground, he shielded her body with his.

  When it blew, several boulders rolled down the face of the mountain. Jenna just closed her eyes and prayed that they wouldn’t be in their path. The rumbling and shaking of the earth seemed to go on and on, but she knew it really only lasted seconds.

  All was silent. The two of them lifted their heads to peek at the cave’s entrance. It was completely blocked off with mounds of stone and earth. Only then did Jenna let herself breathe a sigh of relief.

  Twisting around, she looked into Brody’s eyes. She couldn’t resist leaning over to place a kiss on his lips. He needed no encouragement. He pulled her close to him, delivering to her mouth, a slow sensuous kiss.

  “I love you,” she whispered.

  Brody pulled back, startled by her words. Jenna just smiled secretively.

  He stood and pulled Jenna to her feet. “Let’s get out of here.”

  As they were walking Jenna felt her world go black and then there was the sense of falling. When she was once again able to focus, she was sitting at a dressing table, in Brody’s bedroom.

  No, it wasn’t just his bedroom, but their bedroom. For the expanse of a moment, she was unsure of what was real and what was illusion.

  What had just happened? Had the horror she’d just lived through been a dream? And if it wasn’t a dream had she just lost ten years of her life? But no, she remembered every detail of her life for the past ten years.

  That night she’d gone home and told her father that she was going to marry Brody Silver Wolf. He had yelled and hollered that he’d be damned if he’d see his daughter married to Brody. Her father had settled down a bit when he had discovered that Brody was an officer of the law. Less than a year later her dad walked her down the aisle.

  She could clearly recall how proud her father and Brody had been when she graduated from the police academy and the day she’d given birth to their first child. Her mother had been on one side of the bed while Brody was on the other side. They each held a hand as she brought her precious son into the world.

  Brody walked into the room, looking as devastatingly handsome as he ever had. He immediately saw the tears streaming down her face. Pulling her out of the chair he took her into his arms. “What’s wrong, baby doll?”

  “Do you know what today is?” she asked him.

  Pulling back slightly, Brody lifted her chin so that he could look into her eyes. “Yes, I do. Ten years ago today I found my life when you told me that you loved me.”

  Jenna didn’t want to tell him that they had all just narrowly escaped with their souls. “Make love to me,” she pleaded.

  Picking her up in his arms, he carried her to the bed and gently laid her down. She watched his clothes come off and was in awe at how his body could still take her breath away. Leaning over her, he kissed her as he was pulling off her panties.

  His arousal brushed up against her stomach and between her legs she felt a flood of sizzling desire. The past no longer mattered, only the moment. She reached out to touch him. Wrapping her hand around his cock, she could sense his throbbing need. Spreading her legs to him, she helped guide him into her wet and waiting pussy.

  No matter how many times she felt him enter her, she could never get enough of that sensation when he first filled her flesh with his stiff desire. Their lovemaking was gentle and slow, building in intensity until they reached that peak of sexual excitement together.

  She would have screamed out if he hadn’t covered her mouth with his at the very moment she tightened around him, pulling at his manhood until he released his seed inside of her.

  “I love you,” he whispered.

  The End
