Lost Girl (Soul Bound Book 1)

by E. M Jefferson

  I turned around as if I was on autopilot as I took the two figures before me. they both grinned at the same time making my fear double. In perfect sync they rubbed their hands together before saying.

  “The master wishes for you to join him” In a surprising warm and inviting voice which contradicted their faces. for I couldn’t tell if they had half a head or not as one side was covered in a calacas mask. It started out as a typical one in colours of blue and red with a wide grin. Expect this one only covered his left side as the right side was completely black where no eyes or ear could be seen.

  “And if I say no?” I said to the left one as he was the one with the left calacas.

  “Then it will be by force” But the voice comes from the right one who is the opposite to the left one. I wonder if they put both their heads together would their mask be complete.

  I think I would rather take my chances-

  “Five says she will”

  “Ten says she won’t”

  I run. I turn and run for the creepy looking castle, but my arms are caught in two sets of steel arms where the heat they emit could burn me alive.

  “You owe me 10 Alex” Right one says

  “No, I don’t Alec” Left one says

  “You have got to be fucking kidding me! What the fuck it’s this?!” I shout out as they sort of drag me along as they hold my arm tight enough that I can’t escape but swing our arms together as if we were friends.

  “This is us taking you to the master” Alec I think says

  “Like we said we would” Alex I think said.

  Their voices are the same and so are their height and outfits making it impossible to tell the apart, if it wasn’t for the calacas I think my head would spin. I gave a tug on my arms to see if I could slip away but by the way they both chuckle. I am going nowhere.

  “Into the haunted castle we shall go”

  “Where madness roams these spooky halls”

  “Watch out for the talking walls”

  “For ones head shall fall”

  I don’t even bother to try and guess which one was saying it, it could have been one or it could have been both. It’s too hard to try and my head hurts.

  “So, which one is Alex?”

  “Depends on how you say it”

  “Alex which an x I presume” I say

  “Oh, how rude of us” They let me go before bowing at my sides. “I’m Alex with an x”

  “And I’m Alec with a c”

  That so wasn’t helpful as the walls echoed their voices and I couldn’t see whose lips moved. The bastards did that on purpose. They resume their positions as the ever-loyal guard dogs they are.

  “So, basically you a fucked-up version of Tweedle-dee and Tweedledum?” I say as they remind me of the twins.

  “Do we look fat and short to you?”

  “Do we look bold or ginger to you?”

  “No, but- “

  “Our point exactly” they said at the same time.

  “You both act like them with the freaky masks, matching outfit and I don’t even know as I can’t exactly see your faces now can I” I snap.

  “How rude”

  “I quite agree”

  “No respect”

  “None at all”

  I block them out as they pull me along the dark corridor until we come to a set of large doors which look like something had smashed its way in. I swallow the lump in my throat, and I dread to think who their taking me to.

  “In you go” they say as they throw me inside as their sinister laugher echoes down.

  “Just fucking great”

  “Here I through you would be happy to see me once more my dear,” Jasper says as candles flicker with live upon the table. There he sits like a king amongst his empty castle ruling over the dead. He wears no mask since I know who he is as his blue eyes twinkle with mischief.

  Not this again.

  Even the voice in my head had slithered away to the furthest reaches of my mind. Even it would come out.

  “Jasper why have you brough me here?” I demanded as I made my way up the table. He sits lazily in his chair with one hand on his cane as one leg rests on the arm.

  “A little birdy told me you are leaving the Beast and I through I would help you”

  “And how is that?” I say as I dust myself off as I passed through spider webs. This place really needs to be cleaned up with the amount of dust, debris and cobwebs there is.

  “A spot of tea first before the madness comes… I will dread to think what will happen if he wakes up while you’re still here. He was very upset that you disappeared before playing with him”

  “You tried to kill me again” I give him a pointed look as I relax.

  “Couldn’t be helped” He states like this is such a normal thing that keeps happening.

  “And you expect me to trust that you wouldn’t hurt me?”

  “It wasn’t me but the disease” He tells me with a wicked grin.

  “Cut to the chase Jasper. Tell me what it is you purpose?” I let out a tired sigh as I take a seat next to him. My focus is on watching his eyes as it is a dead giveaway for when he turns,

  “I know you have until tomorrow left before he comes for you, which is why I purpose that you come and stay with me”

  “Oh really” I say with sarcasm.

  “Yes. I can help you seek what it is you want to find but more importantly I can tell you what truly transpired five years ago”

  “I already know. your drugged-up tea showed me” I snort out as this topic doesn’t interest me.

  “Oh, my dear Belle. It merely gave you a glimpse as you fell into the void. I can tell you of the voice you hear and what they did to you” he says in a seductive voice, one where he knew he would have me hooked, lined and caught.

  “I’m not going mad?” I said hoping my ears heard him right.

  “No but you are in deep shit that much I can tell you” Well that’s not great.

  “Can’t you just tell me now?”

  “Nope but we can bargain” He says as he sips his tea but this time, I will not drink any.

  “Fine! Tell me what you want” I snap out. Of course, they all bloody want something!

  “If you do decide to leave Dante for good, then all you need to do is call out my name three times” He tells me holding up three fingers. This is starting to sound like one of those bad dares where you sit in a dark room with no lights and look into the mirror, calling out Bloody Mary.

  “I will promise that you will find safe haven with me and I will not take payment on that… However,” Here it comes, what does he want from me? but more importantly can I do it? “I will only tell you my price once you have left that fool and truly wish to know the truth”

  “NO! Tell me now Jasper otherwise how will I know if the price is too high” I shout out as I slam my hands against the table.

  “I’m sorry dear but you time is up as he pulls you from this realm”

  “What the fuck does that mean?”

  “You’re about to find out, safe travels” He says as a storm whirls around me seeming to have come out of nowhere. It picks me up like fucking Dorothy before taking me away with it. I’m getting sick of being powerless and shoved around to where everyone wants me.

  I tried to fight it as I held onto the table dreading where I would end up next. At least here I knew Jasper could send me back but from the violent wind I knew I could not hold on long. I through Jasper was about to help me get free of this inferno as he approached me twirling his cane around. I through he would use it to pull me out and stop this madness.

  I watched as his eyes began to change telling me the madness had taken his mind once more. Now I didn’t know what was worse. Let him pull me out or let this blasted thing take me away. He stalked closer with fangs prodding out of his mouth before picking up his cane and slamming it on my hands. I let out a loud yelp as I let go as my hand hurt.

  “Till we meet again” He shouted over the wild
winds that tore through the castle wall as he stood their unmoving, unaffected by the destruction my invisible cage made.

  The cold wind cut into me as I felt myself dissolving, I should have felt fear. I should have been scared but instead I felt a tingling sensation between my lets as I let out a loud moan. I shouldn’t be turned on from this but reasons beyond my understand had me grabbing onto my clothes as it increased the pressure.

  That’s when I closed my eyes and opened them. Bringing me back to a familiar room, one I called home.

  Chapter Thirty-Three

  Day 4: Final Goodbye

  I couldn’t deny the heat I felt between my legs as I looked down to see my hands wrapped in the blankets. But more importantly gold eyes chose that moment to look up at me as the morning light illuminated Dante’s face between my legs. I should have been scared or pissed off that he broken into my home and woke me up. But the pleasure I felt made me feel drunk and dizzy. I could not deny the sexual chemistry between us as it was like two live wires connecting, sending our pulses of electricity. Well this was one hell of a wake up I didn’t mind as I let out a moan.

  “If you want me to stop then I suggest you tell me now” He purred between my legs as he went back to the bundle of nerves between my legs.

  “Don’t… stop” I said on a breathless whisper as I pushed my hips into his mouth, chasing his wicked tongue as I didn’t want the incredible sensation to stop.

  “You taste so fucking good, the sweetest nectar straight from the Gods themselves” he growls, then thrusting his tongue deeper. I whimper with pleasure as he drives me wild with need. His tongue is buried inside me as he slips one hand between my lips as he pushes two fingers in. Fingers and tongue move faster now, dipping in and out and he fucks me. I can feel my orgasm beginning to build in the pit of my stomach. I know I only have seconds left before it arrives as the press builds.

  “Fuck!” I cry out as fire and ice duelled within the confines of my body, turning it into their own playground as they crashed together. My sexual need only burned greater as I needed something long, hard and thick to truly fulfil this aching need. My blood hummed in excitement as Dante crawled up the bed placing soft kisses on my heated skin. Every touch against my body ignited my need and desire, I was burning up for him. I wanted, no needed him inside me, needed to feel complete.

  My eyes glazed over as the liquid gold in his eyes made them burn brighter than the sun. “Whether you will admit it to yourself or not. You are mine Isabelle. You belong to me for all eternity where not even the Gods could take you away” He whispered over me lips before entering me in one swift move, burying himself to the hilt. My back ached trying to accumulate his size, I was always worried in case he would rip me in two.

  One hand frames my face as he moves his hips in a slow sensual way that has me locking my legs around him. This wasn’t us fucking like two mad dogs in heat, but dare I say he made love to me?

  His eyes remained on me each time he withdraws himself before plunging back in. I gripped his silky hair as I pulled him down for a bruising kiss. I didn’t want slow and gentle; I want hard and fast.

  “Fuck me” I breathed out on a breathless whim.

  “No”

  “Dante, I want you to devour me! I want the beast to fuck me with wild abandon until I can barely walk straight” I said being bold. It the first time I ever demanded how I wanted it. And fuck me if it didn’t empower me.

  “I’ll soon have you regretting them words as I’ll make you scream until you can’t speak. Every time you walk, the throbbing between your legs will remind you who you belong to. Every time you sit down, the tingling sensation will have you begging for me” He promise.

  Rough, hard hands grab my waist before pulling out and flipping me over. Head down, ass up. He entered me in a brutal way which had me screaming out in bliss as he pounded me from behind. His hand wrapped in my hair as he pushed my face down as he made good on his promise.

  I screamed. And I screamed his name out for all to hear as he had me coming over and over again. He had me begging for mercy, begging for more. I could do nothing but hold on for the ride as he moved faster and harder.

  Every scream, every moan and every plead that fell from my lips would make him growl out in approval. He devoured my reactions and devoured me whole as he fucked me into oblivion. My voice soon became hoarse as his hands moved down to my ass as he spanked one side before doing the same to the other. I could feel the painful sting adding into the pool of pleasure that burned through me.

  My head rolled to the side as I became dizzy and drained from how much he demanded from me. “Please” I whimpered out as my body couldn’t take anymore.

  “Alright, one more. Give me one fucking more and I’ll let this body rest” He growled out no longer the man behind me as his voice became that of the beast.

  He grabbed a handful of my soft cheeks as he used them to apply pressure and spread me wide. I felt utterly owned with how rough and possessive he was being. I closed my eyes as he kept hitting that sweet spot inside of me as my hands curled into the sheet where I pulled and twisted. I needed to grab onto something as it felt like I was about to self-combust.

  My body arched and tensed as I got closer making the blazing inferno inside of me spiral out of control like wildfire. “Dante!” I scream as my body erupted in waves of ecstasy as I felt my soul leave my body as it bowed in an inhuman way as Dante roared out his release. I saw blinding light as the wall and ground shock around us as destruction rained. The glass windows shattered and explode outwards from out joining, my lovely walls cracked with the force of Dante’s eruption.

  The utter bliss that came flooding through my body kept my climax going as I through it would never end! At one point I through death had found me as his weight crashed on top of me. Both of us were spent as my body continued to spasm and shake.

  “That... was… intense” I said with a with a sappy smile, feeling a hundred times lighter than I had in the past few days.

  “I agree” He said as he rolls his body off me and pulls me in close.

  I take long pulls of air in as I try to calm my heart rate down.

  “How long until you are ready?”

  “Wow! Slow down tiger, I might need a day as I’m sure I will be very sore”

  “No Belle. How long until you are packed up and moving in?” He says in a stern voice.

  My perfect moment is ruined when reality comes knocking on my door.

  “I still have a few hours yet” His eyes widen at my words before they return back to their cold dark self.

  “I see” He said as I turned just in time to see pain flash across his eyes.

  “Dante” Please show me a soft side to you, one that shows you truly care for me. I pleaded inside. If there was even a hint that this cold man had a softer side. One that could balance him out, then I wouldn’t leave. I just need him to prove it.

  “I will see you in less than 12 hours in my club and you best not be fucking late. For if you are then I will bring destruction onto this earth, and you will be the blame” He promised as he disappeared from my room.

  I stayed facing the window as fresh hot tears ran down my face. “I’m sorry” I said to the empty space as he was the ultimate temptation that the Gods could have made. He could make you feel so good when together having sex, but he would give you whiplash from how hot he burned you to how cold he became. He would never let me be on equal grounds and I can’t risk the chance of him destroying my soul even more.

  But more then that I deserved to be his equal not someone he could order around like an obedience subject there for his own amusement.

  I heard him the moment he left the apartment as he slammed the door shut. The rattling was loud as I feared he might have broken it. But I will wait until I washed his scent from my skin.

  I needed to remove the evidence as regret started to eat me up inside. I wasn’t sure which part I regretted. The part where we had sex? Or the words I spoken? I
was too conflicted with what to do as when we were together in bed, it felt like heaven. But outside of it felt like we were at war on opposite sides. Me struggling to make him to see reason as he waged war to control me… not forgetting about the lies, deception, stealing memories and the unanswered questions behind what happened five years ago.

  With the quickest shower possible I was in and out before walking into the living where I struggled to decide what I truly wanted. Did I want a life where I lived how it currently was? Or did I want something more?
