I think back to the inn we drank beers at on our adventure. I let go of her hand and began spinning, flailing my arms in the air and stomping my feet on the ground. She covers her mouth and laughs uncontrollably before joining me.
The nobles stare at us in disbelief and slight disgust as we laugh and dance like maniacs. After a few minutes of embarrassment, I catch her in my arms and dip her, leaning in for another kiss.
“Woo-hoo!” I hear Yeelus call from the other end of the room.
We laugh, and I feel a shockwave race through my body. She’s back … for good. I finally found the missing piece of my soul, and she just so happened to be the last thing I expected to fall in love with. A human.
I extend a hand to her, and she takes it. I lead her to Yeelus, perched on the table. As we approach, I notice his eyes are unusually wet.
“Yeelus,” I say with a slight smile, “are you crying?”
“No, sire,” he said, wiping his eyes. “The air here is quite stuffy. You know these nobles and their uptight ways.”
“Ah,” I say, nodding and placing my arm around Jenna.
“But,” Yeelus adds, “I would very much like another adventure like the one we had before,” he stares at me. “Or we could conjure up some chaos in the court?”
I wave my hand at him. “No more of that for me,” I declare. “But I’m sure we could find something to keep us entertained.” I stare at Jenna, who laughs at the suggestion as she places her hand on my chest. “Well,” she comments, “we could always go find out what else Malaki has.”
Yeelus’s eyes light up. “Maybe a magical wand? We could use it to cast spells on people.”
I shake my head and stare at Jenna. “Sure, Yeelus, we can get you a magic wand.”
Yeelus jumps in excitement and wanders out of the ballroom. Jenna and I follow him, excitement surging through me. I can’t wait to find out what our next adventure will hold. I am up for anything as long as she is by my side.
TWENTY-FOUR
JENNA
We bid goodnight to Yeelus, and Verrin led me to his chambers. We walked along a long dungeon hallway with rocks lining the walls. I wonder how he can live in such darkness until I remember that he is, in fact, a demon.
As we walk, I hold onto his arm and rest my head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my head. Chills slink up my spine as I think of approaching his bedroom.
He opened a grand metal door with a lion knocker on it, and I gasped, lifting my hands to my mouth and chuckling. He smiles and looks at me.
“Not bad, huh?” he remarks.
“Not bad?” I exclaim, walking into the luxurious room.
The room is a large cavern with cascading, pointed rocks hanging from the ceiling. A marvelous chandelier hangs from one of them directly in the center of the room. There are windows on the left-hand side, staring out into some body of water. His chambers are submerged deep underground, and I am shocked that something so close to the core of the planet could hold this much beauty.
I see the dresser on the right-hand side of the room, more of an armoire with an oak finish. A beige Victorian couch sits beside it, with books stacked high on a side table.
His bed is immaculate, with royal red and gold curtains draped over the canopy. After gawking, I walk to the window and place my hands on the glass. Fish swim by, oblivious to my presence.
I turn to him, shocked, pointing to the room. “Thisis your home?” I ask.
“This,” he pauses, walking toward me with his hands in his pockets, “is my bedroom.”
“There’s more?” I ask excitedly.
“This whole cavern is mine,” he said, looking at the floor.
He approached me, wrapped his arm around my waist, and looked out into the water. “I would be happy to give you a tour in the morning,” he whispered in my ear.
I feel his warm touch around my waist and felt my nipples harden. I craned my neck to the side, giving him ample space to kiss up and down my neck. His lips are soft, and he nibbles lightly on my ear. I exhaled, relaxing my shoulders and leaning into his body.
He hardened behind me, and I reached to caress his face. I bent backward and kissed him passionately on the lips. He already knows he can make me melt with one kiss, let alone by touching any part of my body. He spins me around, staring into my eyes and smiling.
