The Immortal story and forbidden love with the Enchantress

Chapter Twelve

The room is dark, I hear a shower running. My vision clears I see the room is lit with candles and there is one dim lamp, I can make out the dark red wallpaper with black diamond shaped squares, mush like Marea’s room. The carpet is black but not fluffy like Marea’s it appears more smooth like cat fur,  I see that I’m laid out on a purple sofa my head was resting on a silk black pillow, I go to get up but my head pounds.

“Don’t move.” Erin’s rich voice calls out to me from his on sweet bathroom.

I feel a sharp pain by my collar bone, there is a small cut there and it stings like I’ve been stung by stinging nettles.

I see a flash of his white hair from the bathroom door

“I said don’t move.” He says it sternly, I’ve never heard him sound so agitated.

I start moving upwards again

“Lisa-“ his voice only makes me want to move. His quickly peers at me from his bathroom, I see half of his torso that isn’t being shielded by the door frame. His hair is dripping wet and his bare skin shimmers with droplets of water. Oh god what time is it now?

I go to move and in an instance he’s on top of me in nothing but his towel! He places my hands above my head and pins me down, his knees fill the gaps of my waist, he leans down towards me smiling. His energy shifts, it becomes extremely static and tingly, his touch sends flames through my whole body, and the energy inside escapes from within and surrounds the both of us clashing into his dark blue aura. He stares down at me with his icy blue eyes, his lips parted, his eyes look me up and down and then he stares at my lips. His hair is dripping, a drop of water falls and hits my lip, another falls and hits my small cut on my collar bone. I wince slightly. He lets go of my wrists placing his hands just above my head, I soon forget my pain as I look up at his exposed torso.

“Does anything hurt?”

“My head, but I think that’s from all the drinking.” He shifts sitting on the carpet below, he smells like those nice dove soaps. His hair appears so glossy and wet I watch some of the droplets run down his face and bare body.

“Here drink this.” He picks up a slender glass of cold water from a small table beside us. I sit up carefully and  take a couple of sips of the water. “I didn’t want to move you too much in case you had a concussion.”

“Or you just wanted to be on top of me and flex your half naked body.” I watch his reaction to see his pearly white teeth. I smile to myself I like seeing him smile. “I’m okay really, what happened? A random guy called Merlin grabbed me out of nowhere when I was returning from using a bathroom, I was hoping he wasn’t going to hurt me but then I blacked out.”

“I followed you when I noticed you hadn’t come down in a while, and I noticed Merlin had been watching you all night, I noticed both of you were missing. Did he touch you or hurt you?” I shook my head he looks at the nick on my collar bone. “I caught him just in time then. I arrived in time to see you faint in his arms, but he obviously wasn’t expecting it, the i***t was holding you so tightly to him that he had cut off half of your breathing. He said he was trying to help you, but I don’t believe that was his intensions. When you went limp he was caught off by guard by me and dropped you, he tried to mid catch you but luckily I caught you just in time. When he tried to catch you in mid-air he scratched you.”

“Oh, I see, how long was I out for?”

“It’s been about an hour, the party was coming to an end, so everyone left, I promised Michelle I’d look after you.”

“Oh, thank you Erin I appreciate it.”

“You’re in no state to go home so you should spend the night here with us.”

“Oh no it’s okay you’ve done so much already I-“

“Lisa-“

“No really-“

“Lisa try and walk in a straight line.”

I get up feeling really wobbly, but I’m okay, I walk around the sofa. “See I’m alright.”

“Lisa you were holding  the edge of the sofa.”

“Right.” I let go, and instantly regret it, I lose balance I stumble backwards, but Erin catches me. I look up and he peers down at me with a smirk on his face.

“Marea has brought you a few things in that little bag over there, if you want you can take a shower and get changed in my bathroom.”

“Okay, thanks.” I say awkwardly I pick up the little white bag, I refuse Erin’s guidance instead using various objects and fabrics to guide me to the bathroom, I steal a quick glance at Erin’s perfect body his eyes catch mine but my head snaps towards the bathroom. Once in the bathroom I peer inside the white bag, Marea has put a toothbrush in there, along with a nightie, toiletries, underwear and even a bra. Wait how does she even know what size bra I am? There’s even a cute cream sundress in there. I take off my now damp clothes thanks to Erin’s wet body… I need to stop thinking about his body.

The shower is really refreshing, but my little cut on my collar bone really stings, I try my best to ignore it but notice a bit of blood coming from it along with all the glitter and makeup. It looks like a fun mix as it goes down the drain. I use a few of Erin’s expensive hair and skin products, hopefully he doesn’t mind. I exit the bathroom and keep all my clothes in a bag. My skin glows and smells beautiful, my hair really takes to his products as well, and this dark red night dress looks overtly sexy, and on me well it looks like if I were married my partner would be really excited tonight… I step out of the bathroom to see Erin in a dark red robe reading a book. I didn’t realise he could look that sexy in glasses. He pauses taking his glasses off really slowly and places them on his bedside table staring at my appearance. Hie eyes are slightly wider as he stares.

“Marea is such a tease, did she really have to make you look so-“

“Ouu sexy.” Marea is standing in Erin’s doorway, she has her hands clasped together and she looks me up and down excitedly, her smile is big and wide. “Lace really suits you; you see these clothes fit me nicely, but they suit you better, real quality too you can keep all of it.” She winks at me; I try not to blush and laugh as I stare into their shocked expressions.

“Thank you Marea, that’s really too kind.”

“You’re welcome, would you like a hot drink? Let me get you some hot tea?”

“Yes please.”

“I wish it were me but Erin you should take care of that nip on her collar bone. I’ll be back for you in ten minutes Lisa.” Marea was gone as quickly as she came. 

“Wait? What did she mean by that?”

“I think you’ll want to find out.” I was leaning on the door frame of the bathroom and was dangerously close to slipping off of it when Erin stands up removing his dark red robe. I watched as the robe slid down his back and fell to the floor, he was in black boxers, he stares at me as he comes closer. He picks me up bridal style. “You smell good, you even used my toothpaste, feels nice right.” He smiles at me as he says it, okay good it means he doesn’t mind right?

“Relax your body, do you trust me?” He lays me carefully on his bed.

“Okay, yeah sure why?”  He doesn’t say anything but climbs on top of me, his knees fit perfectly into my waist he leans forward towards me, his lips are parted, and his icy eyes fixate on my neck or lips or both. He looks so sexy in this dim light, every inch of him appears smooth and perfect. I want more than his knees touching me. What no, get a hold of yourself he’s your client who’s leaning really closely to me right now. Suppress the energy suppress it in your weak state.

“Close your eyes.” I obey I relax my body and try to ignore the fact that the sexiest being is on top of me half naked about to-

 he runs his tongue over my cut. It really stings as he does it and I flinch. He just licks it deeper and slower. It sends mad vibrations down my body, but as he does the pain melts away. His tongue runs up higher to my neck, the energy I was already failing to suppress was surrounding us and I felt tingly all over as though I was being set on fire I squeeze the sheets in my hands. Why have I never felt like this before? His soft breath reaches my ear

“If it wasn’t enough tonight, you look so sexy Lisa.”

I open my eyes I can’t even respond, I’m afraid of what I might I do. Because right now it’s taking all my might to not throw myself at him.

“You are so mysterious I really like it.” He thinks I am mysterious. He’s one to talk, everything about him is mysterious to me, like the way he’s making me feel right now. No guy I’ve ever been with has ever made me feel like this. Erin lifts his head; I feel his white curls glide over my skin. His icy eyes meet mine. We stay like that; I don’t know for how long but it’s as though we are having a conversation just through looking into each other’s eyes like this. What’s he so afraid of? No what are we both afraid of?  And why does it feel like we’re from two separate worlds and yet we are the same? Something almost forbidden. Perhaps I’m going mad. I’m drawn to whatever mysterious and forbidden hold that lingers between us; maybe I like forbidden, perhaps want it a little. I lay there our breathing is sharp, my eyes back and forth from Erin’s icy eyes to his lips. I get a little closer, our noses are touching, that’s it I’m going to-  no I can’t, I want to kiss-

“Do it.”

“What!?” It comes out as a sharp whisper.

“Lisa I’ve made you a cup of herbal green tea, I added some lemon and uh…” Marea is at the door frame. “Oh dear, have I interrupted something? Perhaps Lisa should stay with you in your room tonight.” Lisa smiles as she says it.

“Is that what you would want Lisa?”

“I uh- um.”

“You two look comfortable with each other, be careful Lisa it’s hot. I’ll see you two in the morning.” Marea places my mug of tea on the bed side table.

“Night Marea.” We both say in sync..

Erin who was sitting besides me gets up and pulls out the purple sofa which transforms into a comfy double bed. I guess I shouldn’t be disappointed that we wouldn’t share the same bed. What am I even saying, “guess” no it shouldn’t happen. I get up and sit on the newly made bed.

“Thank you for everything tonight.” He looks at me placing a pillow down slowly, his lips are parted, and his icy eyes look narrow as he looks at me. He comes towards my face wrapping his arms around my waist and picks me up off of the bed, I look at his strong shoulder and neck as he pulls back the deep red satin sheets and placing me in them. There was something so comforting being held in his arms, and every time he touched me it felt electrical. It still felt forbidden and there was something dangerous I couldn’t place where or why. His eyes move to the corner staring at me.

“You will be in this bed tonight.” He places the duvet around me, but It’s so cold… “What’s the matter you cold?” I nod he gives me a small smirk. He reaches under the sheets and starts tickling me!

I scream! “Oh my god noo stop it! Ahh stop!” I’m hysterical with laughter, Erin is on top of me now tickling me all over, he’s grinning like a bastard. I manage to wrestle myself out of his grasp, but he lets me go easily. I try to control my panting.

With his wide sexy grin, he says “Not so cold now are you? Wow you pack a loud scream.”  I just notice one of his white wavy curls that had fallen on his forehead. He looks so mischievous. I steady myself on my knees which is hard due to him being on the bed as well.

“How soft is your floor?” he just looks at me puzzled

“Wha-“ I pounce lunging myself at him. We fall to the floor as we the cord holding his dressing gown unties, we roll around, but I end up on top. I am panting laughing as my hair falls around the sides of his face. He is laughing with me; the sound of his laugh is one of the nicest I’ve ever heard. He is in between my thighs the dressing gown is spread out beneath us, I stare down at his exposed torso, I look at the rim of his boxers and notice where I am actually sitting. I try my hardest not to smile or blush.

“What are you up to?”

“I don’t know, I just wanted to feel like I had won that.” He looks at me with Intrigue.

“Oh, is that right.” He says with his sexy smirk

I feel slightly lightheaded and the energy inside me is warm and seeping out of every fibre of my body. I can’t help but notice where Erin’s staring. I realise his hands are secured around my waist. His eyes are moving up and down from my waist to my chest, which I realise from this angle my chest is practically exposed. His lips are parted, his eyes wandering over every inch they can see. His lips looked soft and smooth, I begin to bend down and at the same time Erin leans up towards me. Are faces being inches apart, we’re both on our knees. I can practically taste his breathing; I smell the chemicals in his breath. I’m so tempted… Just before Marea walked in I was tempted and Erin practically… Read my mind. I was saying to myself I was going to kiss him when he said, “do it.” He couldn’t have read my thoughts…

He says so smoothly “You look tired, come on sleeping beauty.”

I smile to myself at the thought of being sleeping beauty, “Yeah you look tired too.” I was lying, he never looks tired ever. I go over to the sofa bed but before I’m there he’s in front of me.

He gives me a smirk as he says, “You can have my bed to yourself tonight, besides I wanna see how this sofa bed feels I hear it’s very comfortable so I wanna judge for myself.”

I nod and go over to his bed, “Thank you by the way.”

“I like having you here at these parties.” I smile he’s beginning to remove his dressing gown completely, something about the action excites me. He catches my eyes; he wets his lips again as he slows what he’s doing. “How is your cut now?”

I look down at it “It doesn’t even hurt anymore.” I feel my face grow warm thinking about the way he ran his tongue over it. He’s got a faint smirk on his face as he watches me, “I knew about dogs having healing properties in their saliva but never a human.” He just winks at me and walks towards me. My heart skips a few beats. He just switches off the lamp. I hadn’t even realised that the candles were already blown out.

“Why aren’t you in bed?” He whispers in the dark.

I just get in the bed; he leans towards me in the bed his lips brush the rim of my ear as he says. “Goodnight miss enchantress.”

I smile “Good night Mr Immortal.”
