Chapter 6:
The pressure around her wrist was warm and gentle. Somewhere in her mind she recognized the snap of her watch being undone before it was removed from her wrist. The bracelet on her other wrist was the next to go, gently being slid down and off her hand. Goosebumps waved across the surface of her skin when she felt the warm puff of breath on her neck and the gentle callused fingers removing one of her earrings. Opening her eyes, she met Eddie's piercing gaze as he hovered above her. Without resistance, she let him pull at her shoulder until she was off her side and laying on her back before he reached for the other hoop earring. Divested of all of her jewelry, she lay perfectly still and perfectly silent as their eyes never broke contact. The goosebumps turned into fire as she felt him snake a hand beneath her and pull at the zipper of her dress. Her chest began to heave and her pulse quickened as he carefully pulled the navy-blue dress past her breast and hips and off her legs. Only in her bra and panties now she stared up at him, waiting for his next move.
Lowering down to lay on his side, Eddie pulled the blanket over them both and pulled her to lay on her side facing him. They were so close, Mary felt that if she took a deep enough breath her breasts would graze his chest.
"Why did you leave?" his voice was quiet and intense as he spoke. "When I ran out to the parking lot and saw that your car was gone…I felt that we were going to lose our minds. We wanted to tear the city apart to look for you."
His eyes felt like they were burning in the low light of her bedside lamp, Mary could hardly move under their intensity. "I'm sorry," was all she could whisper.
The hot pressure of his hand seared into the cool flesh of her waist as he pulled her forward pressing her into him. "Tell me Mary," he demanded roughly.
She was jealous, she was damn jealous, that was what she wanted to scream but she held it in. "Eddie, I can't…I don't want to change our relationship…I don't want you to hate me…"
"I love you," cutting her off, Eddie cupped either side of her face with both hands before pressing his lips directly to hers.
Everything in that moment stopped as her whole body and soul concentrated on the firm softness of his lips against hers. One of his large hand began stroking the nape of her neck encouragingly waking her up from her shock. Moving her lips against his, Mary moaned desperately against his lips when she felt his tongue sweep into her mouth. Wrapping her arms around his neck she pulled herself closer as she hungrily returned the kiss. Both were breathless when they finally parted but it didn't matter, tugging at the fistfuls of hair she had in each hand and making a desperate whining noise he growled something fierce under his breath as he obliged her with more. Expertly, his lips worked over hers driving her body into a blazing inferno. The taste of him was everything she imagined but his dominance was out of this world. Taking control of the pace he pushed her onto her back and moved his large hard body above hers as he sought control over her mouth.
Panting he pulled away leaving her limp. "I love you and I know I shouldn't. I'm supposed to be your big brother, the one to love and protect you," With one hand planted in the mattress by her head, Eddie held himself above her as his other hand came up to cup her breast. Mary arched beneath him clenching her eyes shut to the dizzying need that threatened to drown her. "I shouldn't want you the way I do Mary," Mary held her breath as she felt his hand push her bra up letting both of her bare breasts bounce free. "I shouldn't dream of tasting you." Lowering himself with precise control just above her breasts, a loud moan escaped her lips when she felt him lay one gentle kiss to her pebbled nipple.
"Please Eddie," she panted, clutching at his biceps.
He ignored her. Switching to the other, he placed an identical kiss to her other nipple, driving a flood of heat to the core of her body.
"You're the only one that matters to me," his voice was rough with emotion as he lifted himself to place an equally tormenting kiss back to her panting lips. "You're the only one that has ever accepted me for all my flaws." Looking at her, a flash of pain went through his eyes, that pulled her from the heady fog of desire. "But this time it's too much to ask of you…I…I did something Mary…and I…I can't possibly ask you to accept this too."
Cold fear stamped out the fire raging through her body as Eddie pulled back to sit down next to her. Rubbing his hands frustratedly over his face he looked at her with a pain she never seen before. Sitting up next to him, she disregarded her disheveled half-dressed appearance and reached out to touch his forehead. Feeling encouraged when he leaned into her touch, she scooted closer and wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders.
"What is it Eddie, you can tell me?" A thought struck her, feeling self-conscious she leaned away and pulled her bra back over her breasts. "Is it…is it someone else?
"Fuck, No!" Scowling Eddie leaned forward and scooped her off the bed and sat her on his lap. Holding onto his shoulders in reflex, Mary sighed in relief as he buried his face in the soft plump tops of her breasts as he spoke. "No, baby, there isn't anyone else." Looking up he met her gaze squarely. "Trust me, I mean it when I say I only want you."
Letting out a large exhale, Mary leaned forward and kissed him boldly. Her body hummed back to life when she felt him return the kiss with the same amount of need. "Then what is it?"
Mary could feel him stiffen in hesitation.
"Please Eddie just tell me. If there isn't anyone else, what else could there be? Are you sick?" Eddie stilled beneath her. Covering her mouth with her hand, Mary felt as if her heart stopped. "Oh Eddie," tears formed in her eyes, as horrible scenarios played out in her head. "Are you sick?"
Wrapping his arms around her waist, he pulled her higher on his lap and flush against him, Mary could feel the hard planes of his muscles contract underneath his t-shirt. "No, not like that, I'm not dying, baby, don't worry. It's…" he paused and Mary felt like shaking him to make him just say it. Seeing her frustration, he groaned deeply, so deep Mary nearly jumped at the sound, letting his head hit the back headboard he continued. "Fuck its do damn hard to explain. We should just show you but we're not sure if we should. We don't want you to be afraid."
Cupping his face, Mary pulled him close to kiss him softly. "I love you Eddie. Please, just tell me. Does it have anything to do with that odd voice you make sometimes or your use of "we" and "our" you do sometimes?"
Nodding, Eddie leaned his face into the crook of her neck as his hands gripped her bare waist. The feeling of his teeth nipping at her neck made her cry out in shock as his hands pushed her hips against the hardening bulge beneath her ass.
"Fuck, I wanted this for so long Mary, you just don't know," he whispered against her shoulder before nipping at the spot.
Clawing at his shirt she made a sound of delight as he helped her pull it up and over his head letting her have free reign with her questing hands. The touch of his hard bare chest beneath her hands blinded her with desire.
"Please, Eddie," she tugged at his neck urging him to lay her down on the bed. She needed him on top of her, inside of her.
Pushing her down to the mattress, Eddie crawled above her his eyes were nearly black. "You have no idea the amount of restraint we are using." Fear and unbelievable desire shook her body as his dark deep voice echoed within itself, filling the room. "We want to hear you scream our name. We want to push you and ride you until you pass out."
Her panties were soaked. She should be afraid right now. She was watching his eyes spread across the white sclera of his eyes, drowning them in darkness—and yet she said nothing. She just laid there beneath him pulsing with need, she didn't care what was going on. He could tell her later.
Dropping his head between his shoulders, Eddie took steadying breaths before pulling back. "I have to go running. I need to get ahold of myself before I accidently hurt you."
"No, Eddie!" she whined as he walked away from the bed. Her body felt like crying at his retreat. "Please, you…"
Stepping forward he planted a firm kiss on her lips cutting her off. "Shh baby I will be back, just give me an hour to clear my head and when I come back I will explain everything, I promise." Kissing her again he lifted her pouting face back up with both hands and kissed the pulse at her neck reminding her body again what it was losing. "After that, if you still want to…we can pick up where we left off."
She was tempted to throw a pillow at him but she held back, instead she leaned forward and gave him a slow sensual kiss working her tongue against his enjoying the growing rumble that emanated from his chest. Snatching away from her, Eddie stumbled back towards the door.
"Give me one hour," he mumbled hoarsely, before slamming the door shut behind him. A few moments later she heard the front door open and shut.
Smiling to herself she hurried to the bathroom to get ready.

They were at the peak of the Salesforce Tower downtown—arguing. Surrounded by the dark night sky ,The black figure latched onto the top spire was practically invisible to the eye. No one could hear or see them as the sentient oozing substance peeled back to half of Eddie's face.
"Why Did You Leave?"
Eddie could feel the anger of the symbiote boil inside of him at turning his back on Mary's need filled pleas for him to stay. The creature wanted her just as much as Eddie did.
"Because I can't very well sleep with her and then tell her "surprise babe, there is an alien inside of me who has been inside of me watching the whole time" now can I?"
The symbiote didn't say anything in reply.
"Look we need to talk about this now, I will tell her about you, but you can't touch her."
"I Will Touch. I Will Taste. I Will Be Inside Her As Well."
Just the thought of that monster touching Mary made Eddie nauseous. "The hell you will! I will tell her the truth, I will let her meet you but you will not touch her!"
"And How Do You Propose To Stop Me Eddie?" Eddie could practically hear the grin in his voice.
Controlling the panic filled rage that threatened to take over, Eddie tried to think quickly. "You say you care about her right?"
"Yes."
"You don't want to hurt her, correct?" He continued to probe.
"Yes." Eddie could hear the symbiote's growing impatience.
"Then think about how scared she would be if an eight-foot monster with a mouth full of sharp teeth tries to have sex with her. Because it won't be sex, it will be rape."
Just as he expected, Eddie could feel the recoiling anger run through the creature. As monstrous as he was, Venom was an amalgamation of them both, taking not only Eddie's body but his morals as well. Venom took great pleasure in devouring rapist and other criminals alike.
"Look," Eddie sighed. "Even if she accepts us, you have to understand there is a limit to what Mary can accept."
There was silence, and Eddie wondered if the creature would reply.
"We Shall See."

Sticking her head out the bathroom door, Mary listened. "Eddie?" she tried experimentally.
There was no reply. The apartment was empty.
Good. Dashing with her towel across the hall, Mary stepped back into her room and finished drying off. Legs shaved—check. Bikini line trimmed and manicured neatly—check. Hair washed, old nail polish removed, clean smelling, and exfoliated—quadruple check. Holding the towel up around her breasts she stared at the open drawer of underwear and swore under her breath for not buying anything sexy recently. The only sexy thing she had was something she wore for Jacob months back. Shuddering at the thought of re-wearing it, Mary opted for a simple black satin set.
Turning around she laid the clothes on the bed as she looked up to the wall opposite her bed. The large black spider sat stationary on the wall next to a painting she had hanging up. The scream she let out was deafening. Looking around frantically for something to use to hit it with, the door burst open.
Eddie stood in the doorway with wide eyes and looked from her to around the room frantically searching for the cause of her scream before landing on the giant spider. As if there was string attached to an unseen puppeteer, his arm lifted stiffly and pointed to the spider. A black inky substance shot out from his arm across the room attaching to the spider in clump against the wall. Mary's mind could not comprehend what she was seeing enough to let out another scream.
"No, no, no," Eddie's desperate appeals were smothered as the same dark shiny substance began overtaking his body.
Petrified, Mary clutched at the towel as she watched the form grow around him swallowing him whole. The massive black form nearly reached the height of her nine-foot ceiling before stopping. Shiny black skin and white milky jagged eyes stared at her silently. No nose, no mouth, no pupils, the thing was alien and monstrous. She wanted to move, to scream, to do anything but stand there but she couldn't make herself move.
Slowly, so terrifyingly slow, Mary watched as its mouth finally appeared. As if closed until now, the creature opened up into a large smile full of teeth.
Finally, she found her voice.
Screaming she ran for the door. A black tentacle shot out and caught her by the arm and another by her waist. Mary's world spun in front of her as she felt her body go crashing backward until she landed with a bouncing thud on her bed. Having lost the towel as some point, Mary scrambled naked backwards against the headboard as the creature stepped forward its smile elongating beyond its eyes. More black substance shot out from the gigantic creature's back wrapping round her wrist attaching it to the wall above her bed.
"No please," she cried. Another glob of sticky black substance shot out from its chest pinning her other wrist to the wall.
With both wrists held up beside her head, Mary was naked and helpless before the large terrifying creature. Lithely the large creature stepped over her footboard and onto the mattress causing the springs to groan in protest at its weight. Trembling, she watched as he sat down cross-legged in front of her his grin growing wider.
"Please don't hurt me," she whispered, unable to look at the giant maw of teeth any longer.
"We Would Never Hurt You." The depth of its voice seemed to fill and shake the room.
Mary swallowed nervously as she tried to pull at the bonds around her wrist. It felt like she had been cemented to the wall. Arching her back at the discomfort of the headboard jabbing into her back, she immediately regretted it when she watched his eyes widen in interest and a long red tongue unfold from his mouth. Mary jumped against her bonds with a scream when she felt the serpentine tongue wrap lazily around her left breast.
"Why are you doing this then?" She cried, hoping to get him to talk again and pull back his tongue.
The creature didn't seem to need the use of his tongue to talk. "Eddie Wants To Keep You For Himself. We Want To Share."
Eddie. That's right Eddie was there before the monster appeared. Before the monster enveloped him. Blinking she began to realize. The use of "we", the voice, the secret, all of it was—this.
"Are you what Eddie was trying to tell me about? The sickness?" Mary bit her lip to keep herself from making a sound as the tip of his tongue flicked at her nipple.
"Yes." Slowly unwinding his tongue from her breast Mary only got a second of relief before he began trailing the tip of his tongue down her stomach.
"Please don't," she begged his tongue was inches away from her black curls. "Please, let me see Eddie."
Retracting its tongue, the creature sat back and stared at her in silence, as if considering her request.
"Please," she urged.
"We Will Play Soon?" with his tongue back in his mouth the creature tilted his head and stared at her, waiting for her to confirm.
Not sure what to make of his question she nodded, she would agree to anything to get Eddie to come back.
The material around her wrists vanished and she watched as the black substance peeled away and slid away leaving Eddie breathing heavily in his place.
"Oh God Eddie." Launching forward she fell into his arms.
