Intrigued, I tear open the first envelope.
It’s an application of sorts.Maybe it’s more of a reservation.
Dear Ms.Aherne,
We would love to be considered for a stay at the inn.If you have space, we would like to reserve a room at the inn for four guests next year, June 20 to June 27.We were so sorry to have missed a spot last year due to the Chalet Inn closing for renovations.
We promise to leave nothing but footprints as proof of our visit.
Please send our confirmation letter to the address below, along with the back details of where we should make payment.
Thank you.
Anthony, Colette, Brenda, and Kent Banham
Checking the postmark and address, I see the letter was mailed in Nova Scotia, Canada.That’s a hell of a long way to come to sleep on a mudslide in the middle of a deserted creek!
Smiling to myself, I put on the kettle to make some tea.Two sandwiches and an apple later, and I’m in bed.I want to wait for Dante to come back before I open the rest of the mail.He will tell me what to do…
“I’m back.”
The words whisper into my ear like a winter breeze.The vibration of his deep voice rumbling out of his chest gives me immense pleasure.
There is something about this man that shakes me to my core.It’s such a profound feeling, I struggle to describe it.
“I missed you.I thought you had forgotten about me.”My words come out in a breathy purr.
“How could I forget you, vile descendent?I’m in love with your tainted blood.”
The skin between my eyebrows creases into a frown.
“Vile?Tainted?These are hardly lover-like words.”I want to give him a real good telling off, but I can’t seem to find the right tone of voice.This is because every fiber of my body tells me that Iamthe slave, because he is my master.
He knows this.An amused chuckle resonates in my bedroom as he shows his dark humor.
“You are mine, Luna.Together, we could rule the world, you and I.”
His words are having such an effect on me, I can no longer hide it.Sliding my hand between my thighs, I slip my fingers under my panties.
“I want you inside me.Please…”
“Our bond is not enough for you?You want it all.So greedy.”
Groaning, I try explaining.
“Not greedy.I’m desperate.It’s been too long.”Opening my eyes, I beckon the dark figure to come closer.“I will give you anything.”
His smile is enticing.I catch him inhaling the fragrance under my panties as the hot, moist cleft gets warmer.Hooking one long, white finger under the lace band, he pulls my underwear down with a lazy sensuality.I can feel his fingernail scraping over my skin.I shudder.
“Anything?I can get that anywhere.I wanteverythingfrom you, little Luna.”
This time, I cannot agree with him.I’m not ready for such a big commitment.There is a tiny part of me that I will always hold back from being in a relationship.
The man senses my reluctance and growls.
“Come, play with yourself while I watch.”He moves closer so fast, his shadow is a blur.“I want that tight passage of your pussy to be dripping wet.”
Moaning softly, I reach for him, but he’s elusive.It’s like I’m trying to catch smoke.
