The Girl From Another World ( TMNT 2007 Universe )

Chapter 21 - Finally

Maleek Tesh

The meat was so tender, juices flowed down my chin as I took a bite. Hungrily, I feasted on the steak, digging into it with my fork and slicing it to pieces with the knife. The meal was a good one. Something I'd needed after a day like today.

"My Lord. How about a glass of wine?" Lucinda's smooth as chocolate voice came from behind me. Her delicate fingers massaged the back of my neck as she spoke.

"Yes. Thank you, Lucinda."

"My pleasure."

She left my side and crossed over to the empty end of the long marble table where a large bottle of rich Merlot sat with a tall glass. She filled it to the brim, casting a sexy smile my way as she did.

My thoughts left the meat in front of me. Only one of my many mistresses, but Lucinda was fine. The lingerie she wore showed off her curves beautifully. Dark hair, blue eyes, and tan skin. Latinas had always been a favorite of mine.

They reminded me of her.

Lucinda placed the glass in my waiting hand and I drank eagerly as she went back to massaging my tense shoulders. To be drinking the finest wine and in the company of a beautiful woman. What more could a man want?

It hit me like a freight train, so hard that I coughed and choked on my drink. There was one thing I still wanted. So much it had turned this fine dreary Thursday into a bad sunny day. I wanted her.

Jazmin.

The finest of women that I had ever seen. And she wasn't mine. But I was determined to get her.

"Is the meal to your liking, My Lord?" As beautiful and intriguing as she was, I'd forgotten about Lucinda for a moment. This was what Jazmin did to me, consumed all my thought.

"Very nice, Lucinda. I will let the others know that they must step up their game if they desire to stay."

All twenty eight of my mistresses took turns being with me, throughout the day and night. How well they did in every task determined when I would ask for them back. And Lucinda was doing exceptionally well. It wouldn't be long before I let her love me again.

She bent down and tilted my face to her as she kissed me. She was also very good at romance.

A knock on the door sounded and she pulled away quickly before my Lieutenant entered in, dressed in the black military uniform all my men wore. His jaw was set in a firm line as he saluted me. He was alone, meaning it was something important. I stood up and met his gaze.

"Lucinda, my dear, won't you give us a moment?" I took her hands briefly in mine and let go. "I will come find you when we are finished."

"Yes, My Lord. I will be waiting." She disappeared and I turned back to my Lieutenant.

"What's the problem now?" I scowled as he looked at me stone faced. Their reeducation training had completely changed the way of thinking. They were almost zombies now.

"No problem. The Professor has fixed the portal. It is ready for travel."

I rubbed my hands together in glee. "Perfect. Has he been able to find Jazmin?"

"Yes. Jazmin Turner's mobile phone has been located. It has not moved in the past few hours but the Professor is sure she has it."

A jolt of excitement went through me. I would finally be able to see her, after so many years. I could hardly wait to get my hands on her.

"Tell the Professor to send you through. To give you the coordinates to find Jazmin."

The Lieutenant saluted. "Yes, Sir."

He turned to leave but my words stopped him. "And Lieutenant, bring her back safely. No one touches her before I do."

"Yes, Sir."

He left and a laugh escaped me. Jazmin had thought she was free from me for good. But she was sadly mistaken. And so was her father. Zeppelinn would see his daughter again, his deepest desire. But only for a moment.

Jazmin Turner was mine.
