Darkness Chapter 86: Comfort
Liam picked me up again, this time cradling me in his arms. He marched up three flights of stairs into my new apartment. Anton sat on the couch, watching television."Oh, hey, you're back. Everyone's been looking for you," Anton said.My eyebrows rose so high I thought they were going to fly off my head. I really couldn't believe him right now. I gave him the finger as Liam walked us by."What's that for?" Anton asked."I can see why you passed on him as a leader," I said as Liam climbed one more set of stairs to my room.My room was completely unpacked. The cubes were set up and filled. The bed was made. Everything looked clean and spotless. It was so spacious. I guess I really didn't have that much stuff after all.Liam set me on the bed. "I'll stand guard. I'll just be outside."I grabbed his jacket and shook my head. I felt like a little kid, but I couldn't help it. "Please. I've never felt so powerless. I'd never felt like a victim before, and I really needed someone I trus
Darkness Chapter 87: Test
"What are you doing?" He asked."Shh..." I looked deep into his dark eyes. I reminded myself he was a junkie. If I could do this safely with anyone, it would be him. "Do you feel anything?""Confusion.""Concentrate. When you look at me, do you feel anything?""Loyalty."I pulled a little bit of power. His face softened."Pleasure," he said. His eyes flickered close."But no love. How about lust?"He didn't say anything. I pulled more power from him. He went hard beneath my legs. His hands lifted to my hips."Lust," he growled.I didn't let it distract me. I stopped the pull of energy. His eyes opened. "Why did you stop?""What do you feel now?His fingers tightened on my hips. I could feel his hard length pushing against me, but he didn't move. I was starting to get wet from it. My body was so starved for attention. I pushed that aside. I needed to test this.Instead, I waited. It hadn't taken long for that boy, Jessie, to lose that feeling. Would Liam have more or less
Darkness Chapter 88: Touch
Slowly, my mind came back down to settle in my body. Liam's head hung resting next to my head on the pillow. He still held his massive form up above me to keep from crushing me. He was breathing hard. I ran my hand over his cheek. He was hot and sweating. Was that normal? He'd always been cold to the touch, but now he almost seemed a human temperature. I pressed a kiss onto his other cheek.He tiled his head to look at me. "Thank you for using your power. I thought I was going to hurt you."I smirked. "I didn't. And you didn't hurt me."He leaned on one elbow as his other hand came up to the bite on my neck. "I did." His hands came away bloody.I shook my head. "You didn't."He rolled to the side. My body tightened in pleasure as he moved out of me. I could see him squeeze his eyes shut with the same satisfaction. He settled in next to me."What do orc girls do now?"His hands traced my skin across my stomach."Orc females would punch me in the face to show dominance and then w
Darkness Chapter 89: Bookkeeping
I walked down the stairs, passed the garage all the way down to the bar. It was mostly empty. A few of the bartenders worked at unpacking supplies and wiping down glasses. Cherry stood behind one counter, wiping it down. She waved me over when she saw me."Good morning," she said."Good morning." I slipped into a bar stool as I watched her work. "Is there anything I can do to help?"She shook her head. "How are you feeling? Did you sleep okay?""Yes, thank you.""How's Liam?"I hesitated. Did she know? Did it matter?"I bet he was pretty upset you didn't let him leave.""Oh, yes. He was very upset.""He has a hard time sitting still. I bet he complained about standing guard." She waved a rag at me. "But it's good for him. He needs to learn a little patience.""Right.""How did you like the place? While everyone was running around looking for you, I wanted to feel useful. I did some unpacking for you. I wanted you to feel at home. I hope that was okay.""It's great. Thank yo
Darkness Chapter 90: Orgy
The noise from the bar seeped in through the closed door. I rubbed at my eyes. I looked at the clock. I had been sitting here almost all day trying to figure this stuff out, but I think I finally had some success. I located an inventory that was separated out by drink and calculated by the bottle. I saw where the current inventory was updated each week. From there, I extrapolated a list and made the order online. I tapped the enter button, and everything was done.I sat back in the chair. I was tired but finally felt like I accomplished something. It had been a long time since I had been challenged like that. Maybe the last time was when Kira was working through the book trying to figure out runes. I never did find that book again. I needed to get my hands on some more books like that. The internet was not a great source. Maybe there was still a stock in Utah if that home still existed.The thought of even going outside made my stomach do a flip flop. What if Mr. Kline was out there?
Darkness Chapter 91: Stop
I had to stop this. They weren't doing this of their own choice. I'm sure many of them would be incredibly embarrassed when they realized what they were doing. I stood on the chair of the throne and looked out over the crowd. Some couples had joined each other and were in a full orgy.I concentrated on the purple haze. I had seen the way Mr. Kline's magic worked. He sent out tendrils of magic from his body. Maybe I could project like that, too. I could go around and touch each one of them, sapping Karma's magic out of them, but there were a lot of people here. But first, I needed to start with the room.I opened up my magic. I couldn't see my own aura, but I could feel it. I imagined it like a vacuum. I pulled the purple haze in towards me and trying to suck it in my body. Slowly it moved. The magic felt strange. Powerful. This was the magic of a Force of Nature. It was way more than a goddess, like Juno. It had a sweet and bitter taste to it. It felt potent, like eating cheesecake.
Darkness Chapter 92: Recovery
Cherry patted my back. She slipped something into my hand as I stared down at the toilet. There wasn't anything in my stomach to come up, just this morning's oatmeal. I squeezed the thing in my hand. It felt like a rock. My other hand braced against the stall wall to keep my shaking knees from collapsing. I brought the foreign object into view. It was a large clear crystal. I looked over to Cherry."Matei used to take in what he called bad energy every once in a while. He'd have a similar reaction. He never went anywhere without one of these."I nodded. Lanie had used one of these before. I dumped Karma's thick energy into it. As it left me, I started to feel better, lighter. When it was all done, the crystal glowed bright purple."Do you see that?" I asked."See what?""How it glows?"She shook her head. "It looks the same to me."I frowned. That was strange. She could see things outside the Veil, but she couldn't see energy. Just one more thing I would have to figure out in th
Darkness Chapter 93: Wounded
A table cleared as the man was deposited on it. People gathered around.Liam pushed through the crowd to the table. "Granite, what happened?""The Grange is pushing back," said one of the orcs that just came in.I slid off the chair and limped forward. Brothers parted for me as I walked through them towards the injured man."On 54th, they were attacking a flower shop under our protection. We took them on, but they had something new. It was so cold and dark. Like a huge cloud. It took Trio.""What do you mean, took him?" Liam asked."It just swallowed him up. He was on the floor, not moving. Five of our men fled. I couldn't move. I was frozen on the spot. The cloud disappeared with him in it. Then people were firing, and I don't know. It was like time skipped forward, and we were under fire." Granite grabbed his head and shook it. "I just don't know."I reached the table. A man lay stretched out. His breath was shallow. Blood streaked down from his mouth. His torso was a bloody m
