The Pentagram Child(136)
‘You are the avalanche, one world away
My make believing, while I’m wide awake
Just a trick of light, to bring me back around again
Those wild eyes, a psychedelic silhouette
I never meant to fall for you but I
Was buried underneath and
And all I could see was white
My salvation’
‘You are the snowstorm,
I’m purified
The darkest fairytale
In the dead of night
Let the band play out
As I’m making my way home again
Glorious we transcend
Into a psychedelic silhouette.
I never meant to fall for you but I
Was buried underneath and
And all I could see was white
My salvation’
“You’re my salvation, Keira.” Draven said fiercely after spinning me around the open space. I clung on tighter upon hearing his declaration of love and let the rest of the world simply fade away. I didn’t need to look around to know they weren’t there anymore. It was just me and Draven dancing in an empty square, somewhere on this earth where only we existed. Where only we existed to be together. I knew that now. I knew that ever since either of us took our first breaths in this world that we were destined for each other. Gods or no Gods, Fates or no Fates!
“You are my salvation, Dominic.” I said looking up and with that he stopped us moving. His eyes flashed purple and this time there was no Hell in sight. Then without another word between us he took my face in his hands and kissed me with enough passion I felt his essence start to flow back into me for the first time since that day at the lake.
It was like lighting up my heart.
The kiss and the song came to an end at the same time making everything about it one of the most perfect moments of my life. It was beautiful in every way and even though the rest of Draven’s world started to come back into view I no longer cared. Because I was here, right here in their King’s arms and this time I trusted that I wasn’t going anywhere without him ever again.
It was only the sound of the echoing applause that brought us back to reality from our secret moment. Draven gave me a gentle smile and with my hand still in his he walked me back up to his awaiting throne. I looked behind me to see the space was quickly being filled with new dancing couples and the music started to play something more upbeat.
I turned back just as I felt Draven lean down to once again pick me up into his arms and before I could protest he had already sat down with me positioned in his lap.
“Uh…don’t you think this is a little…?”
“A little?” He said smugly pulling me tighter to him and it was impossible to miss the massive erection pressing into me from behind.
“…inappropriate for royalty?” I managed to force out even though my voice felt thick with lust.
“Well that’s the best part about being King, sweetheart, I get to make my own rules.” I turned my head to the side and rolled my eyes at him making him laugh. Then he put his nose to my cheek and whispered,
“I can’t wait to get you alone.” Making me shiver with anticipation and fail to hold back the moan that escaped.
“Ah the happy couple! I must say Dom, it’s finally nice to see you dancing at one of these things with someone other than your sister.”
“Lucius!” I shouted as I heard the voice I would know anywhere. I was about to get up, forgetting myself, when I felt bands of steel hold me still. So instead I was left to watch as his powerful frame mounted the steps wearing a double breasted military jacket made in a steampunk fashion. His mask was a cream porcelain skull that fit over his entire face. It was creepy but also had an amusing side as it was wearing steampunk googles. He flipped it up to rest on the top of his head before nodding to me.
“Keira girl.” Lucius said with his handsome yet sadistic grin firmly in place.
“Back so soon?” Draven said in a serious tone that sounded like it had a hidden meaning.
“Well as you know I usually try and miss these things but alas, this year it was not meant to be.” Lucius said and then winked at me.
“You have what I need?” Draven asked making me frown back at him, one he ignored being too focused on Lucius.
“I am here for that sole purpose.”
“Keira, you will have to excuse us a moment.” Draven said shifting me gently off him and to my feet.
“Something I should know?” I asked knowing it was definitely something I should know but all I needed was the what, why, how and who is trying to kill us this time?
“Nothing you need to worry about, love.” He said gripping my chin and giving it an affectionate shake. It was nice but a little chin shake is never gonna stop this girl from worrying, not considering what we had been through.
