Six days later.
It was a sunny afternoon.
Laura was combing her hair in front of the mirror. She's planning to go horseback riding today around the Bay Meadow property when she heard a commotion outside the window.
She rose to her feet, went to the window, and looked down below. She saw a new carriage parking in the backyard. "Who's carriage it is?" she asked aloud.
She walked towards the door to go downstairs wanting to find out who is the visitor who just arrived?
She opened the door and exited the room, she walked into the hallway going to the staircase. She was already on the top of the stairs when she caught sight of the man who entered the door, he wore a black flowing cloak. He looks familiar!
"Where is Laura?" the guy asked.
"She is in her room, My Lord!" Sally responded.
Laura was rooted on the spot after hearing his all too familiar voice. OMG! It's Luke! The color was drained out of her face.
That was also the moment Luke looked up above and grinned.
They locked eyes for a brief second and then Laura bolted towards her room, terrified, she quickly entered her room in fright and locked the door.
Her body trembled in fear when she heard knocking on the door, her breath was caught on her throat.
"My Lady! Please open the door!" Sally said.
Laura relaxed a bit, it was just the maid. She went to the door and opened it. "What is it Sally?" she asked.
Sally's face lighted up. "Lord Luke finally awakened! He's back!" she said with a smile.
Laura was shaking her head. If the servant is happy of Luke's come back, she's not! She's terrified!
"Lord Luke wants to meet you on the balcony. He's already waiting for you there!" Sally said.
"O-okay..." Laura replied.
"I'll take my leave now," Sally exited the room quietly.
Laura locked the door and went to the window. She looked down, trying to estimate the severity of her fall if she jumps into the ground to escape Luke.
Damn! From the second floor to the ground it's a bit high!
She needs some rope! She looked around the room wishing for the rope to suddenly appear in front of her, unfortunately, there's no rope! But the blanket will do and the bed-sheet as well!
She went to bed and gathered them, she began tying both ends, then another knock on the door sounded in the air. "Who is it?" she asked thinking it's just Sally.
"Laura, it's me!" the male voice answered.
Damn! It's Luke!
Laura stared at the door sporting a petrified look on her face. "Go away!" she shouted in a panicking voice.
"Open the door!" Luke demanded.
Laura ignored Luke's command and continue tying the blanket in a hurry, wanting to go down the window to avoid Luke.
Done, she runs towards the window and throws the blanket down...she was about to climb the window when she heard something...
When she turned around... oh... no! she saw a shadow coming out of the mirror!
She was rooted on the spot unable to move any parts of her body, her eyes widened in fright when slowly the shadow formed into a figure of a man that turned out to be Luke!
She climbs the window and was about to jump below when Luke's strong hand grabbed her right arm and spun her around... she comes face to face with him... she was suddenly pressed to his body... his hot breath fanning her face.
"What do you think you are doing!? Jumping to death? Is it better to jump to your death than see me?" Luke scolded her angrily.
Laura squirmed under his firm hold on her body. "Let go of me!" she yelled.
Luke's face turned dark. "Was it only yesterday when you enjoyed my kisses and caresses? I can still hear your loud moaning when I entered you over and over again, we used to love pleasuring each other, don't we? You and I are meant to be! Sad to say, you betrayed me behind my back with my brother!" he said, his eyes gleamed dangerously.
"S-so... all along... you are the spirit residing in the mirror?" she asked.
"Yes... that's my spirit!" Luke finally admitted the truth. "My body is recuperating inside the cave, only my spirit can get out and visit you, but my spirit can't stay longer outside the cave because it will decrease the speed of my resurrection that is why my spirit can no longer visit you frequently. But now that I'm fully resurrected, we can finally be together again!" he said happily.
"B-but I'm already married to your brother Graven! I'm already his wife! I can no longer be with you! Our relationship is over a long time ago!" she declared fiercely.
Luke smiled. "Who says it's over? Not me! That's what you thought! I don't want any part of it! You're still my woman! You are mine!" he insisted.
"B-but, I'm already married, it's against the law to covet other people's wife!" she protested.
Luke chuckled. "Who cares about human law? Not me!"
He picked up Laura and deposited her gently on the bed.
Laura's eyes widened in fright. "W-what are you going to do to me?" she asked in alarm as she edges away from him, drawing a safe distance between them.
Luke sighed after seeing the fear flashing in her eyes. It hurt him deeply that the woman he loves so much is afraid of him and can't stand his presence.
He throws daggers in her eyes. "Do you know that no matter how hard you try to avoid me, you just can't? Getting away from me is useless!" he shouted.
Laura's tears fell from her eyes. "Please, forgive me for hurting you! I didn't mean to betray you with your brother. But you have to understand that you used your brother's body to seduce me, therefore you deceived me!" she told him.
Luke's face darkened. "You mean to say...that...if I didn't use my brother's body...you won't fall in love with me?" he asked as pain marred his handsome face.
"Absolutely!" she answered. "I fall in love with your brother!"
"But it's my spirit that is making love with you over and over again!" he insisted.
"Yes, it's your spirit but you are using your brother's body when making love to me! Please forgive me, Luke. Please let go of me! I'm already your brother's wife! I'm already your sister-in-law!" she begged.
Luke shook his head. "As I said earlier, I don't care about human law, it does not apply to me! I made my own rules! You are mine first! It's only right that I will take back what belongs to me!" he said, looking fiercely at her.
Laura looked at him with eyes swarmed with tears. "What are you going to do with me?" she asked in an apprehensive tone.
Luke stared at her tear-stained face for a few minutes. "You will come with me whether you like it or not! You will accompany me with my travel all around the world!" he declared.
Laura's eyes widened. "No! Please don't take me with you! I don't want to go with you! I want to stay here and wait for my husband's return!" she exclaimed.
Luke shook his head. "I'm afraid that you are not in the position to oppose my command. You shall go with me and stay by my side - wherever my journey will end!" he declared in an authoritative voice.
"No! I will not!" she shouted in protest.
"The hell you are!" Luke said, wielding his power, waving his hand on Laura's face. "Sleep deeply... Laura!" he murmured.
A few seconds later, Laura's eyelids were dropping fast. She feels sleepy all of a sudden... she can't fight it. Her eyes shut completely going into a deep sleep.
Luke placed Laura's body in the bed. He began undressing her until she's completely naked in front of him.
He immersed himself in the sight of her bewitching nakedness for a few minutes - raw lust shone feverishly in his eyes.
His erect manhood throbbing painfully between his legs.
He shut his eyes for a few minutes, groaning...
She's so close yet so far!
...
Five hours later.
Laura finally awakened.
When her eyes are wide opened she noticed that she was no longer inside the room...oh no!... her eyes widened in shock and panic! OMG! She was lying inside a glass coffin!
She was about to lift her arms and hands to push the lid of the coffin but she can't move her arms! What's going on!?
Her blood runs cold, the only parts of her body that she can move was her head, eyeballs, and what else? Dammit! She can't even move her mouth! Everything else is frozen!
Then she feels that she's somewhat moving...no she's not moving at all... it's the carriage that was moving! She was on board a moving carriage!
Oh, no!
Luke kidnaps her from the house!
He's taking her away from Graven! Away from the Bay Meadow!
But where is he taking her?
Where!?
She wanted to scream and shout but no voice came out of her mouth!
She gritted her teeth in anger!
She's desperate to come out of the coffin and flee away!
But how?
She has no idea where Luke is taking her.
She can only pray that Graven will find her soon! Or else Luke might do something really bad to her due to anger and jealousy.
Then she notices something with her body...
What the f*ck!?
She is fully naked from head to toe, without a single yard of clothing covering her body! She's desperate to cover her modesty! She felt so vulnerable!
Shiit!
Where are her clothes!
Suddenly... a figure in a black cape materialized inside the carriage. It was Luke!
He stared at her nakedness without blinking his eyes.
His eyes feasted hungrily on her desirable naked body...
Laura can almost feel his touch caressing her face down to her toes, his piercing gaze making love to her.
Damn!
She closed her eyes in shame and humiliation.
She's a goner!
