My Wicked Possession, by Katheryn Lewis

 

“Let it be done!”

 

Peeking from under shuttered lashes, I couldn’t stop the slight curve of my lips at the sight of Madame Athalia in my living room; her hands thrown to the heavens through my skylight imploring them to her bidding, her humble request of a gift to one of those present tonight.

 

  No mere trinket or promise of riches - something deeper than that - you’re desires in truth and not what your mind censures. 

  What your soul demands.

 

Oh Amy was going to pay dearly for her idea of All Hallows Eve ‘entertainment’.  I had considered my plan for vodka, chocolate, and a sexy Pirate a fairly delicious manner to pass the evening and drown out the sugar-fuelled chatter of children and ghostly decorations.

 

“Right, well, thanks for that.  I think we’re calling it a night.” Amy said, sighs and muted giggles escaping as my friends rose and donned their heavy coats.  The old gypsy taking her time with her shawl as each of the women passed her with amused grins heading out into the cold night.

 

“Next time it’s your house you bring the nut job to.”  I whispered, my formerly best friend apologetically leading the woman out my door by her arm. 

 

A flash of silver in her eyes sent a deep seated shiver of fear throughout as her gaze settled on me - through me - her hushed words reaching out on a whisper of midnight breeze.

 

“What your soul demands, child.”

I cursed under my breath as another hour drifted by with no respite of sleep, the woman’s words lingering - tormenting me - like an itch I couldn’t reach.  An unsettling primal knowledge sparked within as pinpricks of awareness and a wash of searing air sent me scrambling from my bed.

 

“Fuck…”

 

Silver eyes held me captive – immobile – under the intensity of his stare; the scent of him alone alerting me to the danger of the creature, whose black-winged form stood as a foreboding vessel of demonic strength silhouetted in the light of the moon.  I felt my body tense to run even as I was lured with a wicked smile and the deep rumble of masculine laughter in the same breath. 

 

He was darkness, and he was Death in a chillingly beautiful package.

 

His aura - the scorching heat that called to me - sent a spark of life flaring within a heart long frozen and a raging fever across my skin that left me desperate for more.  I fell to my knees, trembling as I felt the ice around me melt with every second I was surrounded by that sinful scent of his, every second beneath those silvery eyes that burned with possession.  As black wings encompassed me in warmth and clawed hands drew me closer; I heard the whispered words of Athalia penetrate my mind as the creature penetrated my soul.

 

What your soul demands child.

 

And my soul had demanded the darkest love to match its own.

    My God! Even death is sexy as hell when you write! Now I want more of him, just like all of the men you create. Does he have a brother? And what about that gypsy? Did she conjure him up or just open the doorway? See, I want more. That’s what a great writer does. Makes the reader want more. Tricia
