• "thunder" chapter twelve

    We had been doing so much over the weekend, that Monday hit us with brute force. I had to tell everybody about my "trip". not that i was learning more about Elemental powers, though. I told them I was doing work for the high circle. Nobody knew about my real intentions except for the principle, Matt, Ms. Tenor, who I also found out would be my escort, and Maria, who I was about to tell her when we were out of our last class, until Matt pulled the both of us into some unused area of the school hallway, yelled "have fun" and left without a trace.
    "Matt, you are so weird." Both Maria and I seemed to say at the same time. We blushed at each other and looked away.
    It was a while before one of us spoke, "So, I heard from Jessie that you'll be going away for a few weeks." She said.
    "Yeah, i have to go do some training before the dance of the dead. Something is going to happen this year. Something different from every other year," I remembered my year against death, "even my year."
    "Adrian, I want to ask you something before you go." She leaned in closer to me.
    I looked deep into her eyes, "I kno. I want you to know that if, by some mirale, I manage to either stay here, or come back, I want to be with you. I want to be yours, and for you to be mine. If that miracle comes to be, Please be there for me." I was so sure of myself, and yet I haven't even thought much of her since we met, but I knew that if i was ever going to die with this job, I would at least want to be able to tell her I loved her. I hoped I'd be able to.
    "Adrian, I want to be with you, and I won't ever want anyone else. I feel safe around you. Please, Adrian, come back safe." Our faces were just inches apart. Our bodies so close, i could feel her heart beat. Her tempest blue eyes shimmered in the dim, but empty school lights, "Oh, Adrian." Our lips met, and a sensation unlike any other rushed through me. I unintentionally pushed her up against the wall. Our bodies seemed to entwine. Then it happened again. The pain ful throbbing in my head. I jerked myself from Maria, kneeling down at the throbbing and holding my head in response to the pain. Maria knelt down beside me, "Adrian, what's wrong?" Worry covered her face as the throbbing worsened.
    "Death challenges love, Defiant. You are the catalyst of challenge, so you should come to understand this." It was Death, in his familiar, raspy voice.
    "It's ok, Maria. I told you, things are happening." I managed to tell her. Before I could say or hear anything else, I was fiercely whacked in the back of the head, and knocked out. This sucks, I keep getting knocked out. And, I'm just curious, who the hell hit me this time?
    I woke up in a nicely furnished home. The couches and chairs all had matching blue covers draped over them, and some adorable pictures of some girl were hung neatly along the wall. the girl looked of varying ages from three to seventeen.I heard some glasses clanking in the other room, and sat up to get a better look at my surroundings, just when Ms. Tenor walked in, wearing an apron, and topless, completely topless, "I see you're awake, Adrian." I'll say this while I can. Ms. Tenor is HOT.
    "Uh, Ms. Tenor, can I ask why you aren't wearing a shirt, or a bra, or anything but an apron?" I studdered almost every other word.
    She giggled, "I don't wear a top at home unless I have company." The look in her eyes was lustful and sensual. Was I dreaming? Please tell me I was dreaming.
    "Anyway, can you help me figure out what the hell happened before some b*****d hit me in the back of the head and knocked me out?" I couldn't help but stare at the apron covering her breasts, that was slowly slipping off. Her hands were at her waist,and the jeans she was wearing were thin, and really, REALLY showed off her legs. Damn, I can't believe this. First i'm kissing Maria with a raging passion, then I get knocked out, and now I'm sitting here wanting to have rough sex with my own teacher, escort, and who knows what else. I'm becoming a man-whore all the way around.
    She pinned me down to the couch, spreading her hands across my chest, "I'm sorry about that, Adrian. I Death in your head, and knocked you unconcious to keep him from hurting you. Plus I figured that it would be a good chance to get you where I wanted you." She brought her face in closer to mine. Our breathing seemed to get heavier all at once. I couldn't help but focus my thoughts on one thing. I wanted her, and she wanted me. I started to remember what my mom told me a while back.
    We sat there, listening to each other's breathing. Her apron began slipping off even more. there was a long, nervous silence, "When we get caught up in the moment, we regret it more if we don't enjoy it." Was all I could say.
    "Oh, Adrian," She layed her head on my chest, "I want you, so bad, Adrian. I want you, and nobody else." I felt a small tear roll onto my shirt. "But I can't have you. I just can't have you. You belong to someone else."
    I pulled her face up to mine. Her breathing was still heavy, And tears were strewn across her face, "I want you too, Melanie. I really do." Our faces were right there, just in front of each other. I slowly reached forward and kissed her. Our bodies seemed to clench together after that.
    Our lips didn't part for half an hour, And then we just stared into each other's eyes. She started kissing my neck, then whispered in my ear, "How bad do you want me?"
    I made my way to her ear and whispered back, "In the middle of the day? You kinky little devil. I'm a virgin, so be gentle."
    She sat up, and took the apron off. I stood there, speechless as she stared me down. "Don't worry, honey. I'll show you the ropes."
    When I could finally compose myself, I gave her a sly srimace, "You are a kinky little devil."
    I had no idea if what I was doing was right. but by that time, it was too late.

    I couldn't tell how long it had been when we finished. Melanie had finally stopped, and layed her head on my chest. She didn't say anything, She just layed there. I checked my watch. it was about 5:30 according to her clock.I looked at her with the warmest of smiles, "That was amazing."
    She buried her face in my neck, "You're amazing, honey. More guys need to be like you. then girls would always be happy."
    I chuckled, "I'm no fun, though. I'm a boring little demon hunter." I sat up, stretching to what extent i could.
    "My body disagrees with that." She practically moaned aloud.
    "I have to get to work in about half an hour." I changed the subject.
    "I have a little bit of work to do mself. I slacked off when I knocked you out and brought you to my house."
    "You knocked me out, brought me to your house, then appeared to me when I woke up wearing some of the hottest jeans i've ever seen, and just an apron up top. what did you tell Maria?" My heart ached at the sound of what lie she may have told Maria. And until now, I hadn't even considered her. This was a bitter betrayal. Something I thought i'd never do. I understood what Death meant by 'Death challenges love'.
    "Don't worry. I told her everything. About how I felt, about what might happen, and I told her that If you don't return for her, that she should move on quickly." the sincerety and sorrow in her voice were both palpable, and she seemed to regret doing this as much as I had.
    "Well, we would've regretted it more if we hadn't done it, Don't you think?" I tried to lighten the mood. Seriously, I just lost my virginity to my super hot music appreciation teacher. The least I wanted to do was to enjoy it.
    "You're right. Besides, I've never been done that well since..." She thought for a moment, purposefully letting the cover slip off, showing those curved, sexy breasts of hers, "Well, I've never been done that well. Are you sure your a virgin?"
    "I'm not a virgin anymore," I joked.After another set of lazy minutes in bed, we got up, got dressed, and left together. I had gotten back home to pick up my equipment before she drove me over to the gates. When we got there, she kissed me and drove off. Something was wrong with me. I want My teacher, and the new girl. And, to make matters worse, Just imagine what kind of gossip would come up if someone found out about this. But that was enough about that. I had a job to do.
