Burn My Soul Part 1 Page 5

  He now desperately wishes to know what happens between them in these fantasies of hers. Feeling his blood rush to his loins, he quickly adjusts the jeans around his large and hard erection that's straining to be free, straining for her touch.

  Around any other woman, his manhood remains as limp as a wet noodle. At least, now he knows there was nothing wrong with it or him.

  Franklin inhales deeply, almost falling off the wall for the third time, as the vanilla scent of her arousal drifts to him on the gentle breeze, stronger than ever. He growls deeply yet quietly as he feels her heated body even from this distance, with his enhanced senses. He knows in an instant, his mate's in heat and will only accept him.

  Franklin wants nothing more at that moment than to jump off the wall, stalk to her, throw her over his shoulder like a caveman, take her straight to bed, claim and mate her like the demon he is. He rubs his erection imagining for a moment it's her hand stroking him through his jeans. It's been centuries since their last sexual encounter and yet, it always felt like the first time, every time they were together.

  He quiets himself down by biting his hand hard enough to draw blood Praying the pain will overcome the insane need to claim and mate with her. His erection's rock hard and becoming painful at the thought of mating. He hears the voice of an angel speaking again. She does it so absentmindedly and yet, he's thankful she does.

  "I'm going crazy. I swear I've seen him around town looking so keenly at me, almost as if he can eat me up all night long, and still have enough left to consider it dessert. Yet, when I try to approach, he's gone. I'm left wondering time and time again, if I'm going insane." I sigh heavily once again wondering if I'll ever see him again. I stand and slide my hands down my hips and outer thighs, smoothing the dress back down where it belongs after it has risen dangerously high.

  Franklin's eyes are mesmerizingly trapped as he watches her hands slide over her body, desperately wishing with all his heart, they were his. He knows he's going to kill anyone who so much as smiles at her!

  "As you wish, my beautiful and sensuous mate, you will see me tonight. No one had better dare to claim to you, or your soul, or I will have them burned for all eternity in the liquid vat of hellfire!" Franklin growls fiercely under his breath as he watches her beautiful backside swaying and taunting him as she disappears from his sight.

  Franklin jumps off the wall like a graceful but lethal predatory panther seeking out its prey. He enters the mansion only to find Damien inside, laughing at him.

  Ignoring Damien's laughter, Franklin heatedly explains where the girls are heading. Damien's smirk gets even bigger anticipating what Franklin's really saying. He chuckles as he calls the club, leaving instructions for all of his demons working that night. Then gives specific instructions to Xavier, his most trusted demon doorman and bouncer for the club.

  "Hurry up and get yourself all pretty already. We wouldn't want to let your sexy lady down. Speaking of down, unless you want every demoness in the club chasing you around, you might want to take care of that as well." Damien chuckles at the bulge Franklin's sporting along with the instant heat creeping up on his face.

  Hell, Jinny looks so fine tonight, I think I'll ask her for a very slow and sensual dance." Damien laughs evilly, intentionally provoking Franklin until he choke slams him into the nearest wall. Franklin's eyes are the deepest red he's ever seen them in a rage such as he is now.

  "Go near her or even look at her body and Prince or not, I'll kill you myself right where you stand!" Franklin growls menacingly just before he lets Damien go. He paces back and forth like a caged animal just waiting to attack the hand that feeds him.

  "Touchy, touchy! Yes, she definitely is your soul mate come back from the dead. I can clearly see that now. I suggest then, that you mark her innocent, juicy, body before myself or another does it." Prince Damien says, with calm nonchalance and smirks when Franklin allows his inner demon full reign at the thought of another touching his woman, his mate.

  "I wondered if it really was her. The possibility of her being reborn, so many centuries after her final death is exceptionally rare. And yet, watching your reactions, my doubts have ceased. It certainly explains why you've been completely out of sorts these past twenty one years." Damien ponders.

  "What do you mean?" Franklin growls again.

  "Your soul must have felt the connection and pull to hers the moment she was born on some unconscious level. I've only seen you act this demonic twice before. Both times, it was because of her and the deep connection between you both. One I've never understood that is, until I met Madi."

  "Do you really think so?"

  "Yes. I do. It further explains why you've been almost constantly aroused since Monday when other women's attentions over the centuries have made you literally sick. Man, you do the math." Damien smirks again at his best friend.

  They both take a few moments to get dressed then teleport to the club in record time. They both chuckle as they see how shocked, their employees are at their presence. They are all under Damien's protection. It's a known fact that in their species, owners of clubs rarely show up to enjoy the places they own. Especially, when one of them, just so happens to be the prince of their species.

  Chapter 4

  "YOU KNOW THEY'RE gonna make us wait in line Madi, just like everyone else has to."

  "Bullshit they will! Just watch and learn, my innocent adopted sister!" Madi laughs seductively with an air of superiority as I step out of her cherry red Lamborghini across the street from the club having stolen the spot from another couple waiting to take it.

  Madi opens her door and slowly slides her long slender tan legs out, as her skirt rides dangerously high.

  I roll my eyes when I notice the handsome, large body builder of a doorman staring at Madi with a smoldering heat in his eyes as he ignores everything and everyone around him He stands there with his arms crossed over his massive chest in front of the entrance door.

  Good lord, here we go again! I chuckle, as Madi finally notices him and gives her come hither look, making her eyes smolder with seductive passion. She then gives him that trademark look of hers saying, Boy, I'm going to eat you up! My chuckle turns into a small laugh as I in turn, watch the doorman visibly gulp.

  Xavier could not pry his eyes off of the seductive sensuous beauties wearing barely there, sexy as sin, I'm on the prowl dresses.

  Holy hellfire! I can see now why Damien and Franklin claim these ladies as their mates, not to be touched by any demon or demoness on the promise of the vat of liquid hellfire. They're both hotter than two squirrels making love in a wool sock!

  Xavier whistles softly as the two women walk gracefully and sensuously toward him. Their beautiful chests in the lead, feet pointed forward, an extra sway in their hips as their long hair gently sways behind them.

  Hellfire! What I wouldn't give to be the hair that brushes against those asses right now! He's growing aroused by the second. He instantly knows that the first one with the sexy smirk is Prince Damien's girl. Her walk is strong, powerful, overconfident, and has an air of superiority to it.

  Now, the other woman, she walks with high energy and a bounce in her step. She has complete freedom of movement that signifies both sensuality and confidence and yet, the most intriguing part is that she's completely oblivious to just how sexy she is. She's perfect for Franklin, who is a true southern gentleman.

  The people waiting in line to get into the new exclusive club, yell and curse at us as we walk right by the roped off waiting area. I feel myself flinching quite visibly from the cruel threats and feel the massive wave of pure anger emanating from the crowd.

  When Madi and I reach the doorman's side, I want to just crawl under a rock and stay there.

  Thankfully, the doorman blocks our view of the crowd as he turns and growls angrily. His voice carries far without him even having to raise it.

  "Shut the Hell up! Right now! Or, I swear, you'll stand there and rot until the flesh falls off your bones or u
ntil the demons inside eat it off piece by piece, you got it!" The crowd falls immediately silent and terrified. So much so, you can drop a pin and hear it's tinny clang upon the concrete.

  When Xavier turns back to Madi and I, even I'm a bit afraid but, feel the insane need to thank him just the same.

  "Thank you so much sir, for coming to our aid. It was very kind and gentlemanly of you." I say softly, still a bit intimidated.

  Xavier briefly closes his eyes in pure pleasure. Jinny's voice is so sweet and musical, it sounds like angels singing. He immediately bows in respect.

  "It's my pleasure beautiful angel with your voice sounding like angels singing on high."

  Her mere presence, is like a ray of sunshine lighting up, and freeing my dark soul from Hell.

  He chuckles, when my face fully heats up at the unexpected, but deeply appreciated compliment. Xavier turns to Madi next, knowing somehow that she expects a compliment as well. She always does.

  "Damn woman, I could eat you up. You look so damn hot and sexy tonight!" Xavier says to Madi in his deep smoky and gravelly voice.

  "Why, thank you sir" Madi bats her eyes at him. She's in full flirtation mode already.

  Madi's voice reminds him of a fine red wine, beautiful and perfect in its simplicity, but, have too much of it and it makes you insane, or sick. He silently wished Damien well. Madi's going to be his future queen and he knows how much Damien loves her type.

  "There is a price to let you both in, ahead of everyone else." Xavier says, his face, stony and yet, his eyes are twinkling.

  "What price would that be?" I ask, my voice has a slight tremor in it, that even I can hear as I feel adrenaline flooding my body again.

  Damn, she's really too sweet and gentle to be here surrounded by demons. Franklin had better take good care of her or else I'll claim her myself and treat her like a queen! Xavier thought, cursing himself, for scaring the beautiful and very innocent woman.

  Looking Jinny right in the eyes, Xavier gentles his features, and is determined to make it up to her. "Only a hug, my beauty, that's all I ask."

  He smiles richly and opens his arms. He comically wiggles his eyebrows up and down. It's so adorable, that I relax immediately and laugh. I walk right into his open arms, and wrap my arms around his thick muscular neck. I can't help but laugh with passionate cadence.

  It's pure music to Xavier's ears. The sound goes straight to his cold soul now warming up thanks to sweet Jinny. Xavier gently dips her backward, and places a kiss upon her check. He whispers, "I think I'm in love," as he gently stands her back up again.

  He's surprised by the unexpected kiss she places upon his forehead while she places her silky soft hands on each side of his face in a sweet caress. The look on Jinny's face is one of genuine pleasure. And that of a new found beautiful friend.

  Damn, this sweet thing really doesn't realize the awesome effect she has on a man, and on his very soul. That only makes her just that much more precious. Lord, how I wish you were mine sweetheart.

  Xavier then does the same with Madi as he tips her backward too. "Muahahaha" he emits an evil laugh. He gazes at Madi with evil intent, brushing his lips lightly against hers, before standing her upright again. They both laugh huskily together.

  "Go right on in, you gorgeous creatures, leave me here and break my heart. At least make sure you both save me a dance later." Xavier chuckles as he bows deeply, sweeping his arm out after he opens the entrance door for them.

  "I am indeed your humble and eternal servant, should you ever need me.... for.... anything." He declares in a low, sexy and gravelly voice as both ladies laugh and walk right past him, each one brushing her hand gently along his cheek as she passes. Jinny lingers for a moment as the sweet man has endeared himself to her.

  After entering the club, Madi and I stop for a moment to allow our eyes to adjust to the low red lighting.

  When they finally do, we walk side by side, down the short hallway painted blood red and enter the main part of the club.

  The music sounds tribal and almost demonic, it's bass is very loud and vibrates the very floor I stand on.

  I feel this strange deep vibration as it takes hold of my body. It feels as if it's turning my very soul inside out and is accompanied by a fierce tugging sensation pulling me toward something or someone.

  On one hand, it's confusing as hell and on the other, it feels so completely right. I force myself to remain still, as I try to figure it out. I look around at the dark and dangerous ambiance of the club while chills race up and down my naked spine.

  At first glance, the club looks like a gigantic smoky chamber, filled with a suffocating, sweet smelling stench. It's draped in eternal darkness, with only the red barely lit lamps on the round tables throughout.

  The interior walls look like living breathing things. The devilish flames undulate back and forth, appearing to devour every inch of the walls in total chaos. There is a strange mesmerizing beauty to it.

  One wall displays such realistic and terrifying images of what could only be demons torturing humans. The demons are obscenely grotesque as they hang people by their tongues over a boiling inferno of Hellfire. The demons look so incredibly realistic as they rise out of the magnificent and terrifying beast of undulating flames and eternal drifting black mist.

  Suddenly out of the blue, I feel a magnetic pull deep in my core. It's pulling me toward the east wall for some unknown reason and I can't fight it no matter how hard I try. I walk over to the east wall as if in a trance.

  Standing in front of it, staring into the flames, I feel myself unable to move, I'm rooted to the spot. The sensation of falling into a deep abyss overwhelms me. I narrowly focus my eyes on the undulating flames and the more I do, the more everything around me just falls away.

  These particular undulating flames are vastly different from the others. It's hard to explain exactly how they're different. I know deep in my heart that these particular flames are the flickering eyes of Hell itself. They're holding me completely spellbound, refusing to release their demonic, hate filled hold on me.

  That's when I hear a strange chilling and yet evocative voice reverberate in my head.

  "So, you've been reborn once again my beautiful vixen. I'm now very anxious to see you again....one day....very soon. We have a great deal of unfinished business to tend to, you and I. You'll not escape me this time sweetheart. I promise you that."

  "Jinny. Jinny! Are you ok? You're staring off into space again. Come on, let's get our drinks and find a place to sit!" Madi yells at me to make herself known over the noise, She pulls me out of the strange spell I'm in. My body begins shaking badly, as true terror overwhelms me and leaves my very soul cold as ice. Even my teeth are chattering as if I'm standing buck naked in the middle of Antarctica.

  I don't know what to think or do at this moment, I just want to run home and hide. I just this chilling voice out of my head! I know it belongs to someone much more sinister than I'll ever be prepared to deal with! My extra senses are telling me that whoever it is, he's coming for me and won't stop until he gets me in his clutches.

  Madi wraps her arm around me and steers us both to the blood red bar. Its surface is so shiny that I swear it's really wet blood. I'm too afraid already to touch it and find out for myself.

  The bartenders are all beautiful and mesmerizing to the point where my extra senses or gifts, as my mother called them, are screaming at me to see past the glamour, to see the truth.

  I close my eyes and focus on seeing through whatever glamour there maybe, praying I'm wrong for once. When I open my eyes again, I gasp loudly. Madi looks at me with confusion and worry in her eyes. All the color drains away from my face.

  The bartenders, servers, and bouncers are the same as the grotesque demons straight from the biblical Hell depicted on the wall!

  That can't be, there is no such thing as demons, not in real life! My mind screams in denial of what my eyes are seeing. I feel myself shaking so badly that I just want the vision
to end as one bartender reaches out for me, worry on his face, and all I can do is jerk backward so forcefully, I fall on my rear end.

  Sitting very un-lady like, I quickly close my eyes, forcing my extra sensory vision to recede and allow my normal vision to return for my own sanity.

  When I open my eyes again, I see out of the corner of my eye, one of the bouncers heads for me then stops a few feet away. His head turns toward the dance floor and stares. Then, he stiffens right up and walks away as I get up on my own.

  Well, that explains why they all look at us as if they want to devour us whole, as if, we're their next meal! I think fearfully, unable to really make sense of what I've just seen.

  In one split second, my whole world and belief system has been thrown into utter and complete chaos.

  I need the strongest damn drink they have and make that a double shot, just to calm my nerves! I try to make light of the overwhelming sense of danger that's pervading the atmosphere around me.

  Chapter 5

  "THERE'S NO WAY the club has been breached by him, Franklin. Jinny was just mesmerized by the flames. Some humans are just more susceptible to them, you know that."

  "I'm telling you, this was different Damien! I heard his voice murmuring in her head. He even blocked me from hearing exactly what he said. I'm going to her right now! She needs my protection."

  "Dammit Franklin! Just hold on a minute. Give the girl a few minutes to adjust to the atmosphere first. If she doesn't calm down and is still freaked out then, by all means, go to her." It's taking all the strength Damien possesses to keep Franklin from rushing to her side. He'll only scare the living hell out of her.

  "Excuse me sir. The workers at the bar are telling me that we have a problem."

  "What's that, Abdiel?"

  "Sir, Franklin's girl, well, she.... she can see us in our true demonic forms beneath the human glamour."

  "I see. Just Leave her be. She's Franklin's mate so, it's perfectly alright." Damien calmly tells Abdiel and then dismisses him.
