Chapter 17: Losing Ground

As he pulled back from me, I was dissapointed that he did. I wanted to keep him in my arms forever. He looked into my eyes as he caressed my cheek with the palm of his hand. I was still panting, my breasts heaving in and out rapidly. I was losing myself...tempted to be more exact. Should I give in, let him? If I did, I know I would scold myself afterwards, but all that didn't matter to me at this moment. Nothing mattered but him. He was my world now.

I kept pondering that I did not realize he was already taking me back into the mansion. I pulled my hand away from his, he turned back abruptly.

"Where are you taking me now?" I demanded, not noticing the hiss in my voice.

He looked away for a mere moment, then when he turned I noticed the sudden pain and rage in his eyes. He did not answer.

"James?"

Still silence and he continued to lead me in.

As we walked through the endless hallways, my heart kept racing as if about to burst. I also kept pondering to keep my mind busy. I realized that it would not be bad to give in. What if someday he will be taken away from me? What if oneday I might never see him again? Those were the questions that tormented my mind every single day since Calypso changed me into this. Someway I was always being tormented by something, ever since I met James. Endless thoughts and situations came and went into my mind and heart. I was young and restless. Or maybe just a fool in love, I will never know.

My heart fluttered as we stepped into his room. Thats when this little test, I think he giving me was to tempt me...became very difficult. James was testing me to see what I would do. And I was failing miserably. I sensed he somewhat knew what I was thinking...what I was trying decide at that very moment.

James faced me again, trying to read my eyes. Hoping to get the answer he wanted. For the first time, ever since the other night he had said her name, I felt that he truly wanted me and not her. I could tell that I was no longer a void to fill in his heart. He wanted me and only me. I saw it in his glistening emeralds. At that moment I knew...I fully knew, I was sure enough that I was his. I Will always be his.

He sat me down on the side of the bed, taking my hand into his and kneeling before me.

"I know the pain I caused you, I know it hurt you very much." His eyes were downcasted to the floor, but he quickly looked at me. "Somehow I took out my pain on you, the pain Elizabeth had left me when she chose him. In a way I did the same to you. I was wrong in doing that, I pushed you away without even knowing. I never wished to cause you pain, you were never guilty of the pain she had inflicted on me. The only thing you were guilty of was loving me with so much passion. Passion that I did not deserve from you." He kissed my hand. I melted as his sweet lips lingered on my small palm.

I gently took hold of his face in my hands, tears were streaming down my face as he confessed his wrong. "Listen to me. You deserve much more passion than I have showed, much more I am sure. You only wish for someone to love you, as do I".

"And you have me, from now on she is out of my heart for good. I was a fool not to rip her out of my heart sooner. I was a fool not to see what I had right on front of me!" A few tears managed to escape his eyes. I quickly wiped them away.

"You were just a fool who fell in love, like I did". I somewhat managed to laugh, making him laugh as tears were still sliding down our eyes.

"I agree. But I love you and you will always be the one who will truly be for me, even though we are from different worlds...my heart will always belong to you".

"Our love for eachother will bring us together. I was yours from the beginning I layed eyes on you". I replied holding on tighter to his hand.

"I am apologize for that, I knew that my foolish affections for her would hurt you. But that is all in the past, you are my world, Narissa".

"And I apologize for acting with such bitterness, I hurt you...didn't I?"

"It was pain that opened my eyes. There is no need to apologize".

I smiled as I continued crying. At that moment I knew I was sure enough to give myself to him, I could care less about losing my ground now. I wanted him so badly it hurt. I looked into his eyes. "James, take me away. Make me feel pleasure and bitter sweet pain, that I have never felt before".

He stared at me intently. I could see the happiness in his eyes. He nodded and leaned in close to me. His lips collided with mine, like they did earlier, only this time with more passion. Our lust overcame the best of us. He stood as he quickly began to untie my dress and remove the endless pettiecoats and other ridiculous things that I had become accustomed to wear. He growled when he could not get the last layer off. My melodic laugh filled the dark and silent room.

James finally had me stripped to my chemise. I sighed as I tried to rid him of his uniform, searching for his well toned chest. Once he was shirtless, he began to trail kisses along my neck, laying me gently on the large bed. I moaned in pleasure as kept on kissing and caressing my body. I ran my hands along his bare back and kissed his lips with all the passion I could muster.

I became his, James became mine and we both became one...
