chapter, 1
The wind was silent; no sound of birds. The wind was trying to whisper for her to go, but something was calling her; she was drawn there. The cemetery lay shrouded and ancient in an eerie silence, the only sound the soft crush of gravel beneath the lone figure's feet. The moon cast long, skeletal shadows across the tombstones, making it seem as though the dead were stirring, their bony fingers reaching up to snatch at the living. As she walked, the trees seemed to loom over her, their branches creaking ominously in the wind. The air was heavy with the scent of decay, rot, and wet soil, and the weight of countless eyes seemed to bore into her back. She shivered, her breath misting in the chill air, and quickened her pace. The graves seemed to stretch on forever, a vast expanse of forgotten memories and lost hopes. The silence was oppressive, a living, breathing thing that wrapped around her like a shroud.
Suddenly, a flutter echoed in the distance, its cry rippling through the stillness like a mournful sigh. She spun around, her heart racing, but there was nothing there – just the wind whispering for her to run away.
As she turned to continue on her way, she caught sight of a grave in the distance, motionless, distant, and separate from every other grave. Her heart skipped a beat as she began to walk closer to the grave, not of her own accord, but drawn there. She didn't feel fear, though – just anticipation. What was it that called her?
The trees seemed to loom around her like a warning, the wind urging her to run, telling her what lay ahead was dangerous. But her heart yearned for it.
Calantha POV
When I reached the grave, there was no tombstone, no name on it – just a lonely grave standing separate from every other, carrying a chilling aura and an imposing presence.
My lips moved, unsure of what to say, but the words came of their own accord. "I'm here, as you summoned me." My voice echoed like a chant, and the mist began to swirl around me. The grave shook, like a king was about to be welcomed. My breath turned cold; the environment became icy. Even the wind was still, afraid to offend a powerful being.
Just then, a bony finger crawled out from the grave – soft and muddy. I should've cried and run, but I didn't. I stood still, like I knew it was going to happen. My heart raced faster, not with fear, but with hope for the unknown.
.
The hand crawled closer, stopped near me, then moved, gripping my ankle. It dragged me, and I let out a piercing scream. My mind raced: was it dragging me to its grave? All my struggle was in vain; it succeeded in pulling me in.
It took a few minutes to adjust to my new surroundings...
I saw him sitting on a throne in the shadows. Wait – this wasn't a grave like I'd imagined, but a palace. It was huge.
"I've been waiting for you. You've always stood at the gate, never wanting to come to me. Why?"
He spoke, his voice cold, yet like a sweet melody to my heart. "I came," was all I could say.
He appeared beside me, using his bony hand to lift my chin. "Look at me." But I couldn't – his face was hidden in black shadows.
He traced my face with his fingertips, sending shivers down my spine. I should've been scared, but I wasn't.
"You made me wait," he whispered in my ear. His breath tickled my skin. His lips were so close to my neck I could feel them.
I didn't know why, but I wanted him to kiss me.
"Have patience," he whispered again. This time, his lips brushed my neck, sending butterflies to my stomach in a strange way.
The environment shifted to a large chamber. I was on the bed, him looming over me.
.
"You made me wait for long," he said, gripping my gown's hem. It vanished, leaving me in my underwear.
"Promise me to be a good girl." I nodded, ready for whatever came next. I should've clung to my dignity, but I didn't want to – I wanted him.
"So beautiful," he whispered, eyeing my body. He leaned in, kissed me. His lips were cold and soft. He groaned, grabbed my waist, flipped me around. My naked back pressed against his hard chest.
I couldn't see his face, but I felt his gaze. A shiver ran down my spine. "You are so beautiful," he whispered, his voice sweet in my ear. He pinned my hands above me, flipped me back. His lips brushed my cheeks...
Inhaling his scent, I got lost in the mix of wet soil and roses. and whatever I was thinking turned into clouds
As I opened my mouth to speak, he crushed his lips on mine.
A rush of current mixed with heat passed to every nerve of my body, my mind turned into jam jelly
Electricity and heat surged through me, turning my mind to mush. Our tongues tangled, and liquid heat pooled in my lower belly.
He rasped, hands shaking behind my back.
All worries and tension faded as we kissed. My body ignited, every touch fueling the flames. My p***y pulsate as he grinded his body against mine. f**k, I'd never been this turned on. Never this needy to want anyone
He pinned me harder to the soft mattress again...
