Tabula Rasa (Unlike Loki: Book Two)

Chapter 59

(By)

I looked back at Anna one more time, who was folded in Loki's arms, before walking in the room.

This was the moment I had been dreading.

"By." The Enchantress says softly.

I follow the sound of her voice, and find her sitting on the pillows in the corner of the room.

Her hair cascades around her shoulders and she is wearing an extremely thin, short blue dress.

I can see everything.

I try to advert my eyes. I know what she is and what she is trying to do. And I hate my self when I realize I can't make myself a promise that I will be able to resist her.

"Looking never hurt anyone." She teases, laughing.

"What do you want?" I ask, trying to keep my calm, when really, I just wanted to rip her dress off.

But this was about business.

I hear her laugh again, "Come here, so we may talk. I don't like shouting across the room." She says.

I walk over to her without another thought. She pats the pillows beside her and I sit down on them. My hair falls in my face and she lightly reaches over and pushes it back, smiling at me.

She is so beautiful.

"Oh, By." She shakes her head and one of the straps of her dress falls off of her shoulder. It is hard for me to keep my eyes on hers when there are so many distractions elsewhere on her body.

"What?" My voice sounds shakey. Get it together. You've seen a woman before. Plenty.

"I know all about you." She looks up at me and sits up straighter, so that her breasts are even more pronounced.

I don't even care that I'm not making eye contact anymore.

She scoots so that she is right in front of me and touches her hand to the side of my face. "I know the great magic that throws through your viens. I know the pain that rests on your heart. So much pain."

I am not listening much to her, but I still react to her words.

She sighs, taking hold of my chin and making me look at her face. "I know you hold a dark secret. And I know that if anyone were to find out your secret, they'd kill you."

Now I'm listening.

"How do you-?" I start.

"Come on, Darling. This is me we are talking about, I know. Besides, little miss didn't only visit you that night. She warned me that you would call on me, and she threatened that I must deliver." She paused, and the girl with blue skin who visited me in my room came to mind. "You pulled quite the trick. It takes a lot of magic to sheild yourself from view of your enemies." She smiles, leaning forward on her hands. I back away, scared of what all she knows about me. "I know what you desired and what was denied you. And I know that you ran away because of that. Always running."

I stare away her, unable to look at her anymore, ashamed.

She comes over to me and sits down on my lap, pressing her lips softly on mine, barely a whisper. She breathes against me, her air hot and intoxicating.

I want her.

She grabs my face and presses her lips to mine, in a deep passionate kiss.

"You will lose everything if your secret is exposed. You will lose those you have now and your home long ago that exiled you. You know that. You know that you will have nothing. " She said when she pulled away, I gasped slightly. "I can help you, By." My breathing quickened at her words.
