Paranormal Erotic Romance Box Set (20 page)

“Yes, roses,” Alexander said and turned to Athena, “you
may plan that, my love. Conway, did you hear that? Roses all around!”

Athena giggled and was smitten with Alexander’s commanding
qualities. She twirled her hair in her finger and swayed from side to side as
she batted her long eyelashes that framed her pretty brown eyes. Between the
beauty of Adelaide and the admiration of Athena, Alexander felt something in
himself stir and he looked at Thomas Conway and waved him off.

“You and your crew, leave us,” Alexander said. “Back on
Monday, okay?”

Mr. Conway gathered his crew and lumbered toward the
shore. He looked back at his strange boss and shook his head as he and his crew
hopped aboard the worker’s boat and went home.

“They took the boat!” Athena said. “How will we get home?”

“Can’t you swim?” Alexander said and walked toward Athena.

“Well, yes. But this seems like a very far swim,
Alexander.”

“Our boat is still here, Athena,” Alexander said and shook
his head. “They took the employee boat.”

“Oh,” Athena said and looked at her feet and giggled.

Alexander grabbed Athena by her shoulders and spun her
around and slammed her up against the front of Adelaide.

“Ouch,” Athena said and rubbed the back of her head, “that
hurt!”

Alexander pressed his body against Athena’s while he ran
his hands up and down Adelaide’s stone body.

“You are very beautiful,” Alexander said to both of the
ladies.

“Thank you,” Athena said. “So are you.”

Alexander grinded his body against Athena and pressed his
lips against her jugular vein. He felt it flutter against his mouth and he
dragged his tongue up the side of her neck.

“You make my prick hard,” Alexander said as he rubbed
against Athena’s dress.

“Thank you,” Athena said. “You make mine hard too.”

Alexander pulled back from her and cocked his head to the
side.

“What?”

“I’m sorry,” Athena said and blushed. “I don’t have one of
those, you know. I’m nervous.”

“Don’t be,” Alexander said and massaged Athena’s breasts.
“You are in good hands. Do you know what I want to do?”

“No,” Athena said and looked down.

“I want to invoke the spirits,” Alexander said and walked
away from Athena.

“What?” Athena said and watched Alexander pull out a long
knife from its sheath that hung around his waist.

Alexander stabbed the freshly tamped soil with the tip of
his knife and formed a large circle in the ground in front of Adelaide. Athena jumped
out of the way and stood to the side as Alexander carved a symbol in the middle
of the large circle. Athena shook her head and covered her eyes when she
realized what the symbol was.

“Is that a--”

“Pentagram?” Alexander said. “Yes, it is.”

“So you are a--”

“Occultist?” Alexander said. “Of sorts. Amateur, more or
less.”

“A witch?” Athena said.

“No, don’t be silly,” Alexander said and chuckled. “If you
want to leave, we’ll leave. Or you can leave, I’ll stay.”

“What? No, I’m just surprised,” Athena said. “I thought we
were all the same.”

“No one is all the same. The invocation of the spirits
means different things to different people. By all means, you don’t have to
stay. I just figured you’d be different.”

“How, different?” Athena said.

“Accepting, I suppose. But look, it’s okay. No harm done.
We can call off the wedding.”

“I never said I wouldn’t do this. I don’t want to call off
the wedding. Please don’t,” Athena said and ran toward Alexander and stepped
into the circle.

“Okay,” Alexander said. “Now be very still as I call for
the spirit. Don’t say a word, do you understand?”

“Y-Yes,” Athena said.

Alexander held his machete high over his head while he
gripped Athena’s hand.

“‘In the name of Satan, the Ruler of the Earth, the King
of the world, I command the forces of Darkness to bestow their infernal power
upon me,” Alexander said as he stabbed toward the sky with his machete. “Open
wide the Gates of Hell and come forth from the Abyss to greet me as your
brother. I have taken thy Name as part of Myself. I live as the beasts of the
field, rejoicing in the fleshly life. By all the Gods of the Pit, come forth
and answer to your Names!”

Athena whimpered as the wind kicked up the soil around
them. She tried to free herself from Alexander’s grasp, but he held her with an
iron grip. She closed her eyes tightly and begged for her God silently.

“Diabolus ex north!” Alexander said. “Lucifer ex occasus!
Belial ex meridianus! Leviathan ex oriens!”

Alexander stuck the blade of the machete into the ground
and grabbed Athena and they both fell to their knees inside the circle.

“No, no, no, no, no,” Athena whispered as she clapped her
hands over her ears and shook her head.

Alexander then recited the Lord’s Prayer in Latin
backward.

“Ave Diablous!” Alexander said as he lifted his arms to
the sky. “Spíritus Sancti, et Fílii et in nómine Patris!”

Alexander breathed heavily and slumped over his knees.
Athena didn’t know what to do, but she was too frightened to move. Finally, she
reached out and placed her hand on Alexander’s back.

“Alexander?”

Alexander didn’t move and Athena looked around the area.
Darkness was starting to come and she looked up at the creepy statue before her
and shivered.

“Alexander,” Athena said and shook him, “please wake up!”

Alexander popped up quickly and looked at her. She did not
care for the look in his eyes. She was certain Satan entered him.

“We should go,” Athena said. “I-It’s getting dark.”

“Not yet,” Alexander said and gripped the handle of his
machete sticking straight up from the ground. “Not until I get my due.”

“What do you mean?”

“You,” Alexander said and pounced on top of Athena. “I
told you that you made my prick hard and it is still hard.”

“Now? I’ve never done this!” Athena said.

“Perfect, I can’t marry a whore, anyway.”

Alexander tugged at Athena’s dress and pushed it up toward
her head. He ripped at her undergarments while he undid his pants and spread
Athena’s legs apart.

“Are you watching me, Adelaide?” Alexander said.

“Who is Adelaide?” Athena said.

“Shut up. It doesn’t matter. Now, show me that cunt that
is just for me.”

Alexander rubbed Athena with one hand as he tore at the
bodice of her dress with the other and pulled her breasts out.

Athena never exposed her body to anyone and her mother
always preached virtue and piety. Now, the man who she was to marry, who was
also her cousin, was crudely penetrating her with his fingers as they writhed
around in the dirt inside a Pentagram. Athena focused on Adelaide’s eyes and
didn’t move from her gaze. There was something about the statue that terrified
Athena and made her feel that she would burn in hell for what she did.

“Look at me,” Alexander said and pulled at Athena’s face.
“Look at my cock.”

Athena’s eyes got big as moons as she looked down her body
at Alexander’s penis. It was the first penis she ever saw and she could not
believe how large it was. Alexander stroked it back and forth in front of
Athena and as she watched him pleasure himself, she was a little more relaxed.

“Does looking at me make that happen?”

“Yes,” Alexander said. “You are beautiful.”

“I want to feel all that you are and all that I do to
you,” Athena said.

Alexander plunged his cock into Athena’s virgin pussy and
they both screamed in unison. As Alexander pumped his hips, Athena was more
relaxed and wrapped her legs around Alexander’s waist. She stared at the statue
as Alexander slammed his cock in and out of her and Athena thought that
Adelaide smiled at her.

Athena looked up at the sky and saw clouds rolling in, but
she couldn’t tell if they were the good clouds or the bad. And when she turned
her head and looked into the woods, she saw a handsome man push a beautiful
woman up against a tree. The couple watched Alexander and Athena and then
mimicked their encounter.

“Alexander, wait,” Athena said and pulled at his shoulders.

Alexander paused his cock’s thrusts and looked into
Athena’s eyes.

“What’s the matter?”

“Over there,” Athena said and pointed at the woods, “that
couple is watching us!”

Alexander looked into the woods, but saw nothing. He
smiled when he realized he was giving the girl visions.

“Good,” Alexander said and kissed Athena’s face, “let’s
give them a real show.”

Alexander slammed into Athena to his root and out to his
tip, over and over until Athena felt she would faint.

“I’m so dizzy,” Athena said and gasped.

In a final, harsh thrust, Alexander bent his back so
deeply that he looked at Adelaide upside down as he emptied his cock into
Athena.

“Ave Diablous!” Alexander said as he came. “Ave Diablous!”

Alexander fell forward onto Athena’s body and Athena cried
out and pummeled Alexander’s back with her fists. She believed she was having a
seizure as every muscle in her young, tender body convulsed around Alexander.

“I’m ill,” Athena said. “Something is wrong.”

“You’re fine,” Alexander said. “You just came.”

“Is that what this feeling is?” Athena asked.

“Yes, that’s what that is,” Alexander said and wiggled his
hips back and forth.

Alexander came up on his elbows and stared at the
beautiful young girl underneath him. Athena was the first person Alexander had sex
with who he didn’t abduct.

“Did the Devil come?” Athena said.

“Yes,” Alexander said and chuckled, “the Devil came.”

“A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him and now that he
is laid down, he will rise up no more,” Athena said and turned away from Alexander’s
gaze.

“Okay,” Alexander said and sighed as he withdrew from
Athena. “I suppose the fun is over.”

Alexander stood from Athena’s body and pulled his pants
up. He walked over to Adelaide and kissed her stone mouth. Athena looked at him
with disgust and got herself up off the ground. She felt wetness between her
legs as she hobbled out of the circle and was equally horrified that it could
be blood or whatever Alexander released inside her body.

“I thought of you the whole time,” Alexander said into
Adelaide’s ear and turned and yanked his machete out of the earth. “Shall we
go, my love?”

Athena was humiliated by Alexander’s nonchalance. She felt
like one of those women who stood outside the taverns in Boston and waited for
a man to come along to buy drinks...or something else.

“Yes, please,” Athena said and looked down at the ground.

“Please, you needn’t do this, Athena. We will still be
married and I realize you’re not a virgin any longer. Everything is just the
same as it was when we first stepped on this ground.”

Alexander started to the shore toward their boat and
Athena tagged along after him with her head down.

“No, it isn’t,” Athena said as she followed Alexander over
a sand dune. “Nothing is the same.”

“No one knows whether death, which people fear to be
the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.”

Plato

Athena said not one word to Alexander as they traveled
back to Boston. She knew what he was and she did not like it one bit. Athena
decided that she didn’t care that Alexander was her only option. She would not
carry on the Battle name if it meant breeding with Satan to produce his spawns.

When Alexander said that they needed to make a stop back
at his house because he had something to show her, she wracked her troubled
brain to think of an excuse. Athena wanted to go back to her house and in her
daft head, she planned her escape. She would go to Paris, she thought, and get
far away from Alexander and the rest of them.

Alexander forged ahead, despite the fact that he had to
drag his bride-to-be back to his home and when they entered the side gate into
the back garden, Athena stopped and pulled back on Alexander’s arm.

“What’s wrong now?” Alexander said as he turned to face
Athena.

“Where are we going? I would like to say hello to Aunty,”
Athena said.

“We are going to my office. Cut it with that Aunty dung,
Athena. She will be your mother-in-law soon. And she’s not home.”

Athena allowed Alexander to pull her through the back
garden.

“It’s like a fairy tale cottage!” Athena said as she
stared at cottage she heard much about.

“Yes,” Alexander said poised at the door with his hand on
the knob, “it’s a real fairy tale.”

Alexander opened the door to his office and as he walked
in, damp heat hit Athena in the face. She covered her mouth with her hand and
stood at the doorway.

“What is it?” Alexander said from the middle of the room.

“The smell,” Athena said and choked. “What is that?”

Alexander walked toward Athena and smiled. He was growing
tired of her stupid games and wondered, now that he summoned the Devil, if he
really needed her any longer. After all, he was sure that his God could get him
any number of virgins now and it didn’t seem that violating Athena in the
circle turned her anywhere near a succubus.

“You’ll get used to it,” Alexander said and snatched
Athena’s arm and yanked her into the office.

Athena continued to wretch and her panic rose as she
thought she would vomit. She remembered that smell from when she was a child
and the servants found a wall full of dead rats in their mud room.

“I think you need someone out here,” Athena said. “I think
you may have rodents.”

“Yes,” Alexander said and pushed Athena into the sofa in
front of the stone fireplace.

“I’ve heard much about your classroom, Alexander,” Athena
said as she slid away from Alexander when he sat on the sofa next to her.
