Entombed in His Desire

Chapter 24

(I do not own the images to these stories.)
***************************************
Amanda couldn't believe that he was standing right in front of her. It was if his very presence had brought her back to reality. As attractive as Mark was, he didn't even compare to Dr. Black. Feeling overwhelmed by the entire situation, she struggled to reply. "Well hello to you, Dr. Black. This is a surprise."

His smile was angelic, and his voice was just as mesmerizing. "I hope that I am not disturbing you. I worked the night shift as usual and was on my way home from the hospital."

If this was what he looked like after working all night, she wondered how handsome he looked after a long hot shower. Or even while he was showering.

"Amanda?" she heard Mark calling to her. "Is everything okay?"

Damn, she almost forgot that Mark was still there. She then looked back to reply to him. "Yes, Mr. Jacobson, it's just a surprise visitor!"

She then turned around to look at Dr. Black. "Won't you come in?"

"Thank you." He said as he walked through the front door. He then looked around the foyer, as he seemed to take in all of his surroundings. "You have a lovely home, Amanda."

"Thank you." She nervously laughed. "But it's really my parent's"

"I figured." He replied.

"Can I get you anything, maybe a glass of water?" She asked. Or a neck massage?

"No thanks." He replied. "Besides I can't stay long, and the last thing I want to do is intrude."

"Oh, you're not intruding." She told him. No, you're not intruding at all. Please stay as long as you like.

She then heard Mark make his way into the foyer. "Is everything all right?"

"Oh um sure." Amanda answered. "Um, Mr. Jacobson, this is Dr. Black. He was an internist at the hospital. Dr. Black, this is Mark Jacobson, my Tudor."

"It's nice to meet you, Dr. Black." Mark said as he extended his hand.

"Likewise, Mr. Jacobson." Dr. Black said as he shook Mark's hand. As Amanda looked at the both of them, she could feel the tension in the room. Both Men were smiling politely, but it looked as if there was venom behind their friendly grins.

"I didn't think doctors made house calls anymore." Mark said.

"We don't." Dr. Black replied. "But I just happened by the hospital lost and found today, and I noticed a rare looking Egyptian charm. It looked like one of the trinkets that Amanda's uncle had brought to the hospital. I was worried that it was an expensive heirloom."

Dr. Black then took a bag that he had been carrying and pulled out a small Jade sculpture. It definitely looked like something that Uncle Rob would have owned. She thought that they had collected all of the charms before leaving the hospital. If they had lost one of her uncle's relics, it would have been devastating. The fact that Dr. Black had taken time out of his day to bring it to her, brought tears to her eyes. "Thank you."

He handed it to her, and she studied the tiny sculpture. It looked like a lion crushing a serpent to death with its bear hands.

"I'm just glad that it wasn't lost." Dr. Black said. "That is a rare piece of art that one should always keep safe. Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Jacobson?"

Amanda looked at Mark, she was surprised by the look on his face. His eyes were as wide as saucers, and his breathing began to exponentially increase. If she didn't know any better, she would have thought that the tiny statue was frightening him. Was something wrong? "Are you okay, Mr. Jacobson?"
