Tarot Tells All

CHAPTER 3

Her skin was so soft as he traced her shoulder blades with his cool finger, she was laying on her stomach, relaxing under his touch. They decided to skip breakfast and come back up to their room, they were hungry but it wasn't for food.

Mark leaned over and began to kiss her skin with his cooling lips down her spin, little moans escaped her lips, "I can't get enough of you…" He whispered.

Kayla rolled over on her back and smiled at him eagerly, "Then just take me again…"

"Oh…woman…" Mark moved near her and kissed her lips, her body still hot from their last embrace, "I can get used to this very quickly…"

"Good…" She wrapped her arms around him, wanting more of him.

Her cell phone began to ring, it was more like a song that played instead of an actual ring. Kayla was programmed her phone with a different song for each number, they could hear her brother's theme song play from the bed side table.

"Hold that thought…" Kay kissed her love once more before moving her sore frame over to her phone and picked it up, he did have bad timing.

"Hey hey…" Kay said as she answered the phone, Mark began to kiss the tips of her toes as she tried to concentrate on what Dave was saying.

"Hold on…" Kay moved her hand over the receiver and starred at Mark, "Knock it off, I can't hear what he's saying."

"I'm not bothering your ears…" Mark grinned as he moved slowly up her leg, gently nipping and kissing them, then stopped as he laid beside her, content in holding her as she began to speak again to her brother.

"Yeah, Dave, ok…no, I'll have to stop at home and pick up my gear, yes, I'll be there in half an hour." She closed the phone and smiled at Mark, "Dave asked me to go fill in at a shoot at WWE headquarters, I'm going to have dinner with him after."

Mark touched her cheek with his hand, "Are you going to tell him tonight?"

"Yes, I'll tell him tonight, and I'm sure he would like some time to himself for a change." Kayla replied as she hopped out of bed and began rummaging through another box filled with clothes.

"You don't sound so optimistic…" Mark said as he got off the bed himself and pulled over his housecoat around his massive frame.

"He had to go through a lot of shit this past year, Mark. Kane's not the only one who's having a hart time with this. Dave is trying hard himself to accept us as a couple, he's still leery about your motives." She pulled out pants and a turtle neck sweater with no sleeves.

"Do you think he'll let it go?" Mark asked as he sat back own at the edge of the bed.

"I think after our first baby is born he'll relax…"

Mark froze as he starred at her in shock, "Baby?"

Kayla had gotten dressed and sat down beside him, "Yeah, someday I hope we'll have kids. If Kane had no problems getting Lita pregnant, than I'm sure that when we're ready we can have some of our own."

"I never though about children…" Mark starred at her, a look of wonder in his green eyes, "I think I would like that. I like it….but Kay, what about this Avatar issue? Where does that leave for children?"

She gave him a dirty look, "I think we can just leave that part alone for a while, we have too much on our plate as it is. Maybe when the kids go to college, then we can deal with that."

Mark turned her face towards his, there was something wrong, "What is it?"

"Nothing." She moved her head away.

"Kay, I thought you wanted to get to the bottom of this secret riddle…"

"Not any more." She replied, "I don't like it. The power is too much for me to control. It scares me. I know something bad will happen if I continue."

"You never told me that before…" He leaned over and kissed her lips, "What brought this on?"

"The hotel…I lost total control and killed two demons, and I don't know what I would have done to you during that rage. They were waiting for me, Mark. But I don't know why, they were going to send me down to the Abyss, and it has to do with this power I have. Maybe if I just stop using it, they won't come after me."

"Kayla," Mark grabbed her trembling hands into his, "You don't have to be scared, you're safe. And you don't have to fear this power, you have to control it. They won't be back for you, they failed. And the answers have to be here on this world."

"I don't know where else to look!" Kay looked around the room, "Emma translated it all, there's nothing left at the temple. And there's not much more information any where else. The more I think about why they hid all this stuff in the first place, my gods Mark, I get a bad feeling about this, and it gets worst all the time. I don't want to pursue this anymore."

"Well, we don't have to right now, but we will have to continue this soon, Kay. I know it could help you gain more control over it."

"I know, just…let me think about for a bit?"

He kissed her once more, "Ok, We'll leave it for now."

"Thank you." She kissed him back, "Now I've got to stop in back at the house and grab my gear…" She hopped off the bed and grabbed her long woollen coat, "And I should be back by midnight…Love you."

"Love you too. Be good…and behave." Mark shouted out with a grin as she disappeared in a flash of light.

He leaned back on the bed, he could feel the cold fur of Cerebus brushing against him, purring for some attention. He moved the cat on his chest and stared at the calm kitty, the cat laid down and kept her purring as he rubbed her head with his fingers.

"I wonder what you know Cerebus…" Mark starred at the cat, "I know you know something…don't you?"

The cat opened her eyes to the Deadman, they told him there was. Mark sat up on the bed with the cat on his lap now, looking up at him. He kept her head aligned with his as the Reaper began to move within the dead mind of the beast, the dead hold no will against his power. The secrets the cat held within would be revealed to him in time.
