Crescent Moon CH 2.2

By Ja'Cara M

 


“Yes?” I noticed he was looking at me strangely and with that, I came back to reality.

“Oh, nothing…just… thank you for saving me.” I said. “Oh by the way where are the groceries?”

“Huh, oh there at the manor already.” I looked at him shocked.

“What? I’m just a really fast shopper.” he answered while smiling.

We returned home and I helped him unload the bags on the counter. I was watching him closely, trying to peer at his eyes once again and like before at the market they were normal. “Man, maybe I really I’m just crazy”. I thought. I bent down to put the new supply of dish soap under the kitchen sink. “So, do you really have a shank or were you just trying to act tough?” I heard him ask. I looked over at him while smiling.

“What’s it to you? Maybe I do maybe I don’t. Just don’t ever try to scare me and you’ll never find out.” I said, winking. He smiled back and stepped closer towards me one arm behind his back. When he stopped, he was standing over me. We made eye to eye contact and I could feel my cheeks getting warmer.

“Well if you don’t tell me then I won’t give you this…” he revealed ice cream all made up in a sundae glass. I could feel my mouth water because it was my favorite flavor.

“Cookie and Crème.” he said. I looked at him and smiled. Him knowing I was about to give in to the request.

“Yes, I have a shank.” I puffed. He handed me the bowl and I sat down at the table to eat it. It was so delicious and moist that I couldn’t help but let out a tiny “oh…” I could tell Alexander was watching because when I looked over at him he turned his head very quickly, but I could tell from his bright red ear tips that he was blushing. I finished the ice cream and walked over to the sink to wash the bowl, but a plastic bag stood in my path causing me to fall and with glass in my hand this wasn’t going to be good. I closed my eyes ready for impact when suddenly I felt a warm set of hands grip my waist. I opened my eyes to find Alexander was holding me up and the glass bowl was in his other free hand. Once again, we had eye contact, but this moment was different, within his eyes I could see sadness and depression.

“Woah it’s okay Alexander. No need to look so depressed. I mean if I would have fallen I would have been fine.” I tried to explain, but all he did was nod and walk away. “Thanks though!” I shouted before he completely left the room.

My parents were still gone, but they did call and check on me like I was some kid, but I didn’t mind right now. I went to my room and changed into a one-piece swimsuit. My favorite one too, solid black material with white diagonal stripes. I laid back on a lawn chair at the pool with my sunglasses on and my tablet right next to me playing some up-toon beats. I was humming one song when Alexander came into my mind knocking me off focus. His sad eyes were killer on my heart and I couldn’t get it out my head. But not only that, but the staff, his demon form, and these so-called powers. I needed answers but just couldn’t find them. It was irritating, but like they always say ‘patience is key’.

I got up and walked over to the pool looking at the water seeing a reflection of me in it, but then suddenly the image changed and it turned into me wearing crescent moon earrings and wearing a silver chained halo on my head with my eyes glowing white. Shaking my head, I jumped in the pool and tried swimming some laps. Then just like that a breeze hit my face and yes, it did feel nice, but with that breeze came a shiver. I turned my head and took a breath it was only Alexander bringing me a towel. I took it as he helped me out of the pool.

“Thanks” I said, wiping myself dry.

“No problem at all. It is my job after all.” he said with that accent. He looked down for a minute then back up at me. “I also wish to apologize about earlier. When saving you from falling old memories came back of me lacking to protect someone and..” I stopped him from talking by pushing him in the pool. He surfaced with an angry look on his face.

“What the hell did you do that for?” he screamed normally. I snickered a little as I bent down to meet him eye to eye.

“Hey, it’s how I show tough love. Look I know we don’t know each other all that well but I know your pain. I tried protecting someone from being hurt, but I failed at it, trust me I know that too well. But all I can say is you learn to keep walking forward, not letting the past define you and who you are.” I explained giving him a supporting smile while extending my hand. He smiled back and reached for my hand to only pull me in with him. I surfaced giving him the eye but all he did was laugh and I couldn’t help but laugh with him. “Thank you” he said in between laughs. As a response all I did was wink.

Agent Beck Pt 9

  Remember to read Pt. 8 of Agent Beck. This story continues off of that one. Enjoy!   Mission 9: Thunder The God Here we are face to face, with a man who could be our downfall. I looked at Agent Falcon and told myself, ‘we will win’. I won’t allow her to get hurt tonight. Thunder looks between the both of us and forms a wicked smile. He slowly raises his arm and simply snaps his finger and a huge gush of wind hits us. Falcon blocks it with her wings while I go flying into the tables. I can’t believe from one snap, he could call on so much power. He turns to Falcon and before he could move, she launches her steel feathers at him. They go into him and he drips blood. I found it strange he didn’t dodge it. I watched him take a deep breath and sensed exactly what was about to happen. I dash over and push Falcon on the floor. I reached her right on time before her feathers came launching back at high speed. They go through the wall and then it catches fire. For such a skinny male ...

Me, Beck is going on a date…a normal date. Falcon called me last night and asked if I had any plans tomorrow and out of luck I was free. So, she asked me on a date to a restaurant called Chow Wow. It’s supposed to be a fancy Chinese restaurant with a French cuisine twist. She told me how it has been raving on social media and wanted to check it out. I could never say no to finally being able to see her. Since our kiss on New Years, we were still piled high with missions so we barely saw each other or talked on the phone.  “What the hell do I wear?” I searched through my closet for what almost seemed like a...

Bitten By Love CH 3.5

  We made it to Ariana car and she quickly drove us home. After about thirty minutes, we arrived at my parents’ house. They lived in a quiet condo community. I got out the car and fixed my hair. My sister was always a fast driver and only for today was her fast driving needed. I watched as she used a wet wipe to remove her makeup. Once done she exit the car and locked it. I used my house key to open the door. Ariana closed the door behind her and sat her purse on the coffee table. “Mom, Dad, we’re home!” she screamed. I nudged her in the arm and gave her the ‘keep it down’ look. All she did was shrug and finishes walking to the living room. I followed but for some reason she stopped walking. I bumped into her and when I looked around her, I saw our parents on the couch making out. I could see they were watching a romance movie. “Gross!” she stated. “Agree.” I mumbled. My parents froze with shock and immediately separated. Even though the room was dark, I could still see the red...

    Intro: A woman who yearns to be wanted, to be embraced, and to be dominated by the man of her dreams. She desires him and from afar she watches him. In the same apartment complex, they are alone in the gym and their bodies get heated. He stares at her for a long time and when it’s close to midnight on New Years Eve, he grins at her movement to the warm showers. The clock strikes twelve and the New Year of 2021 is screamed into with an erotic bliss as steam fills the room. My name is Cara Baker and I yearn to be touched. I haven’t felt a real man's touch in two years. I am lonely and the only thing to fulfill my wet desires is him . He lives across from me and I can’t help but watch his every move. He is a god, a fine body with a strong jawline, short dirty blonde hair, and soft blue eyes. I think about him touching me every night. To play with her with gentleness and passion. To rub her until I drip down my leg and I coat his hand in my essence. I shiver from the thoug...
