Wilt and Wither

Chapter 19

Three hours later I am in Jackson's room. We haven't said much since we left Landon. I had to think of a game plan. If I only I could grab onto a single thought. "For what it's worth if I become a hunter I'll kill Landon first." He says with a soft smile.

I laugh the feeling of it good. "Gee thanks I appreciate it but I prefer to keep you as you are." I smiled just happy to end the awkward silence. "And by the way I never actually formed a coherent plan on killing you. It was just an idea I played around with."

"Oh well then, that's different." He smirked and silence shrouded us again. "Lucy I get it okay after seeing what Landon did, trust isn't easy with you and maybe you didn't know how I'd react if you told me but you could've told me sooner and trusted me."

"Before I went and verbally dug myself a hole?"

He looks at me for a while. "I need that trust back from you. I just want you to know what happened back there with Landon, that will never happen with me. I wouldn't betray you like that. EVER!"

My hands had finally stopped shaking. I just couldn't believe what just happened.

I was in trouble.

I just had to figure out how to keep him from being a killing machine. "What are you thinking about?" I laid my head on his broad chest as he ran his fingers threw my hair. I was starting to like it short. No fuss.

"This is just so fucked up." I closed my eyes and kept myself from crying again. I became an embarrassing puddle after Landon walked away. "Eight hundred years and he sold me out because I couldn't bring his girlfriend back from the dead."

"Can you?"

I sighed. "I can but it's not natural, not right. They come back wrong somehow. I'm a necromancer it's a very dark magic. I can raise the dead and control them. Everyone always asks but they don't understand, they don't come back right."

"Have you done it?"

"Yes." I said softly. I didn't really want to go there but I wanted to tell someone else. He waits for me to continue. "Two words: rabid baby."

"Shit."

"Tell me about it. It gets awkward when a parent asked you to bring back there baby only to turn it into a flesh eating monster only to have to kill it again." I shuddered from the memory he was just a baby. "I don't recommend it." Tears threaten to spill.

"He left me for Elizabeth and I was destroyed, just annihilated. I mean I realize now how much I put into my relationship with him. He saved my life I thought he was my knight in shining armor. I think I just latched onto this idea of him.

" With Elizabeth though he was different though, happier. I envied that. When she died he begged me to do it but I wouldn't. This was after my first and only experience. I bring back the dead, not the living."

He pulls me in for a kiss and with this soft pressure of his lips my worries disappeared. God a guy should never be able to feel this good while being this dangerous.He pulls back his eyes settling on mine lust and desire pooled between us. "Lu I-." I kiss him again, I didn't want him to say anything more. My days were numbered, and I wanted to stop talking. He wove a hand through my hair drinking me in.

I wasn't leaving this room without his skin against mine that was the only thing I was positive of.

I was going to have a moment's peace. I held my arms up and gave him a wicked look. "Undress me. I'm not leaving this room without your innocence."

His eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas. "Are you sure?"

"Could you at least act excited." I laughed.
