Chapter 10: Indoctrinated Part-II
Emily Jane Shepard's POV
Emily Jane Shepard's mindscape
Time unknown
My eyes were shut. I felt warm and content. Something warm and hard was pressed against my back and wrapped around my stomach. Something warm, wet and filling lay between my thighs. The smell was an immediate and identifiable musk. Jason. This was just a year after the Blitz, and a week before Akuze.
"To borrow from Kozak: Ooooooooooh shhhhiiiiiiitttt" came Gideon's voice, thankfully far from me. I open my eyes to a darkened room. When my eyes adjusted to it, I saw Gideon standing to a corner of the room, facing away from me.
"I mean seriously, this is your worst memory? Your boytoy couldn't have been that bad, judging by how happy you feel" he said. He's righ... wait a minute, can he sense feelings?
"Yes I can. Now why is this your worst memory?" he asked me. I knew immediately why.
"I wanted to ask him to marry me. I was pregnant with our child and I was madly in love with him. But, I couldn't work up the nerve. And then Akuze. Loosing him was too much of a shock to me, causing me to miscarry. And then Torfan happened" I say in reply.
"Alright then. You know what to do, don't you?" Gideon said in response. I knew what I had to do.
I reach over to the bedside table drawer and start rummaging inside. A feeling of panic envelops me. Suddenly, a strong pair of arms pull me into a hug and a husky voice whispers in my ears.
"Looking for this?" Jason asked as he popped open the box with the ring in it in front of my eyes. I look at him as he takes my chin in his hand and rests his forehead on mine.
"Yes" he said, in his calm husky voice. My brain takes a few seconds to catch up to my ears.
"Yes?" I ask him. He nods his head in confirmation. I pounce him in my joy, the two of us laughing as we are surrounded with another golden halo.
R&R!
And before you ask, no, Torfan is not going to feature as I don't know how it will play out.
