Thirty-One

Jordan didn't know why he was here. It was Christmas Eve. He felt he'd lost his grip on his sanity, but he couldn't be sure of anything anymore. He could hear the Voices whispering to him. Telling him to kill her. He hated that he knew he would.

He was driving in the Australian heat, tapping on the steering wheel. One, two, three, four, five, five. One, two, three, four, five, five. One, two, three, four, five, five. Pause. One, two, three, four, five, five...

Six taps, six taps, six taps. Then a pause. Then six taps, six taps, six taps. Then another pause. Three sixes...

Jordan involuntarily slammed on the brakes, realisation dawning on him. 666...

Jade could feel herself relaxing as she let the steaming water pour over her back. She'd found a gym around a half hour away from Coober Pedy and exercise was something she craved. She needed to burn out all of the emotions she was feeling, before they spun together and became intermingled, indistinguishable from one another.

She stepped out of the shower, dried off and dressed in a white crop top and bleached jeans shorts then slipped white flip-flops onto her feet. She left the gym bathroom and made her way back to the car, where Luke was asleep in the backseat.

An idea struck Jade and she searched through the glove compartment for a black marker. When she found one, she crawled into the backseat next to Luke, pulled the cap off the marker, and almost screamed when his hand flew out and gripped her wrist.

He grinned sleepily at her and, wrapping a strong arm around her waist, pulled her on top of him. He kissed her hungrily and she responded with equal enthusiasm, despite knowing she couldn't abandon Jordan this way. "Good morning," Luke said when he pulled away.

Then he looked down at what Jade was wearing and groaned, pulling her back to him for another urgent kiss. His hands moved upwards from her hips to her bare waist, electrifying her body in the process. The feeling of his hands on the sensitive skin of her abdomen was exhilarating and Jade revelled in the feeling.

She unbuttoned Luke's shirt, running her hands over the gloriously tanned muscles that lie beneath. Jade watched with satisfaction as Luke sighed, tipping his head back and closing his eyes. She then started slowly planting kisses up his chest to his neck.

When she heard his breathing grow faster and catch slightly, she grinned against his skin. Luke pulled her up to kiss her again, and in this kiss Jade felt the lust that was filling him, controlling him. She knew it was building inside her too, and decided as Luke's hands roamed her body, that it wouldn't be terrible to give in.
