Chapter 20

.jay's point~of~view. .flashback. It was around three o'clock in the morning when two guards came up to my cell door and opened it carefully. I swallowed hard and slowly got in a seating position on my cot. Jayden was still sleeping peacefully in her cell, her legs pulled up to her chest and her left hand resting besides her face. 'Alania wants to see you,' said a guard mentally. 'Great. What the Hell did I do to her, now?' I groaned in my thoughts. The second guard unhooked my restraints and carefully placed them on the cot. I got up and walked out of the cell. The guards grabbed me by my arms and yanked me in the direction where Alania's chambers were. As I passed, I saw vampires in their deathlike slumbers. Some did not stir while others moved around harshly in their uncomfortable cots. Before I knew it, we reached Alania's quarters and they pushed the heavy oak doors open. Rose aroma greeted me and I looked around quizzically. Something was going to go down... "Release him and leave," ordered Alania's serpentine, meandering voice. "Yes, our Dark Highness," the guards said in unison before scurrying off and shutting the doors. "Welcome, Jay," chuckled Alania, "It has been a long time since you were last in here." Fright coursed in my veins like a dangerous virus, "Leave me alone, Alania." Alania smiled innocently, "Do not ask me to do something that is so impossible. I cannot."

Alania slipped her lips over mine and I tried to deny, but their silkiness made me give in. Then, I felt a demonic gush through me. She was giving me power. Like the old Jay Gordon was beginning to break through, I lifted my hands, tugged at her hair bestially and yanked her head back like she was a doll. She let out a low moan, then a slithering laugh. Desire glittered in her eyes as she looked adoringly at me. "Welcome back, my Great Beauty," Alania whispered, a sly smile forming at the corners of her lips, "I missed you." I drew my lips back and grinned, "It is nice to return to evil and to you, but there is this girl that I have loved before you..." "Forget about her, Love." "I can't." "You eventually will..." Our lips met and I kissed her more forcefully. Her legs gave out from under her and we landed on the floor, me on top of her and her legs around me... 'Rita, forgive me,' I thought as Alania tugged on my pants brim. 'No...' came another female voice... to be continued
