Chapter 23
Stephen and Sam are outside sitting in the gazebo enjoying dinner. Sam happens to look up from her plate to see Stephen staring at her. "Something wrong Silas?" "No. Nothing is wrong. Why?" "I don't know. I guess the way you're staring at me." "What? I can't sit here and admire a goddess in front of me?" Stephen says as Sam blushes. "If I knew you was so much of a charmer I would have taken you up on that date a lot earlier." Sam says as looks up at the night sky. "This view is wonderful. I'm glad you thought of this." "Oh this is just the beginning. The night is still young." Stephen says as the sound of a sound violin starts playing. Sam looks around and sees a small group playing. "Samantha, care to have this dance?" Stephen says as he stretches out his hand. Sam smiles and takes his hand. He spins her into his arms as they sway to the music.
They are dancing under the stars when Sam kind of pauses. "What's wrong Sam?" "I don't know. I keep getting that weird feeling. It must be my nerves." "Why are you nervous?" Stephen asks as the start dancing again. "I don't know. I sound crazy don't I?" Sam asks laughing. "Not at all. It's this place. When I first came here I got a weird vibe from it too. Like I could feel my brother still here." Stephen says trying to put her at ease. "Maybe that's it. Can I tell you something Silas?" Sam looks up at him and asks. "Anything." She pauses before she continues. "Sometimes, I still think that your brother is still alive. There are nights that I wake up from a dream about him and it's like I feel someone is there." "Well, what are your dreams about?" "Well…it's nothing like the last encounter we had. These dreams are actually…well it's like I told my mom. I actually felt bad for him after everything that happened. He just wanted Livvie back. He was going to do anything to get her back. To be loved by a man like he loved her is amazing. And in my dreams it's like he's trying to show me how to be loved like that." Sam says after a moment. "Do you think that you could ever be loved like that?" Stephen asks. "I don't know. I know you're nothing like your brother but I believe you do love me in your own special way." Sam says as he looks into her eyes. "I can see why my brother loves you so much." Stephen thinks to himself as he kisses her.
"Finally….right where I want you to be." Stephen whispers as he pulls her closer and into another kiss. Sam moans against his lips. "Samantha…I want you…I crave you." Stephen whispers into her neck. She looks at him with hooded eyes. "Please…plea…" Sam barely gets the words out before he picks her up and carries her inside and up the stairs. Stephen hardly made it to the bedroom with Sam placing kisses along his neck and jaw line. He opens the door and places her down. "Oh my God! This room is breathtaking." Sam says as she slowly walks inside holding Stephen's hand. "More so with you in it." Stephen says as he pulls her back to him. "Now where were we?" He says as he passionately kisses her. They walk over to the bed where he gently lifts her up on it. He climbs over her as she starts to unbutton his shirt. He inches her dress up above her head and throws it over the side of the bed as she throws his shirt behind her. Both land in a fluff as he stares at her. What he imagined was under that dress didn't do her justice. Growing impatient Sam pulls him into another mind bending kiss. She makes quick work of his belt and pants and he slips them off without unlocking their lips. He looks at her, passion burning in his eyes as he starts to lightly caress her face. "You look so beautiful. My Samantha…" Stephen says as he kisses down her chest. He takes one breast in his mouth as his hands make their way down to her core. Sam moans and writhes against his hand as he inserts a finger into her. Slowly he begins to move in and out and takes his thumb and rubs her clit. Her breathing comes out in short bursts as he inserts another finger and begins to pump faster. "Plea…please…I need you…" "Where? Where do you want me?" "M…me…make love to me…" Sam manages to get out. "As you wish." Stephen says as he enters her.
Sam gasps as Stephen begins to thrust against her. Stephen groans. "You feel so good." Sam grabs at his shoulders to meet his rhythm but he pins her arms down beside her head. "No no no…you're not in control this time." Stephen says as speeds up. Sam's moans grow louder as he rolls her over. He positions her and re-enters her. "Shit…harder, harder!" Sam screams as he thrust harder. "Samantha…I want you to remember this night. Remember me." Stephen whispers into her ear. "I love you so much." Sam says. "I love you too. My Samantha. No one else can take this away from us." "Oh…I'm coming…oh fuck!" Sam screams as she goes over the edge. Stephen feels her walls tighten around him as he tries to control his own release. He turns her on her back so he can see her face as her end rolls through her in waves. She looks up into his eyes as he kisses her. "You are so beautiful. And now my child will grow inside you." Stephen says as he finally lets go and releases inside her. He lies down beside her as she tries to regain her breath. "That was beyond amazing." "No my love…you were amazing. And a vision of a dark angel." Stephen laughs as Sam wearily tries to sit up. "Ooo…I feel dizzy…" "It's working." Stephen whispers to himself. "What…what's working?" Sam groggily asks. "Nothing my dear." Stephen says as Sam falls over into Stephen's arms. He lays her down on the bed and strokes her face. "My Samantha…I'm sorry that it had to come to this. But you and my brother must pay for what you have done to me. Now it has begun again. Your worst fears are about to come true. And the nightmare comes alive in more ways than you can possibly imagine. But for now, sleep my love. Enjoy this serenity." He says as he kisses her forehead and gets out of bed.
