Heart Two Heart (9 page)

I was slowly pushing us back towards the
bedroom that Ulric and the female had just exited. My intention was
to guide him to the bed and use the sexual tension that was already
developing between us to get him to immediately commingled his
essence with mine. We cleared the door jamb and I used my foot to
close the door behind us as I continued to assault his mouth and
his manhood. I had to pull my hand out of his pants once we reached
the bed in order to get us both in a suitable lying position. To
move things along I pulled my dress up over my hips and ground my
lower half into his.

Each movement caused my thong undies to shift
up and over, so that Ulric could see glimpses of my sweet spot. I
felt his hands move around and grasp both of my butt cheeks. He was
kneading my flesh and moaning over and over and his movements were
at a fevered pitch. I pulled away from his lips and started kissing
down his neck and body. I was half way across his chest when I
realised I was smelling skinwalker too. It was so strong and
poignant that I’d to keep myself from gagging on the smell.

I’d never really cared for chupacabra but I
was able to be sexual with them and generally find gratification.
Ulric however didn’t smell like a chupacabra he smelled of
skinwalker. He must be nagual like Pau. I hated skinwalker and
their scent not to mention that their beast tended to rub my life
force essence wrong. It was like chewing glass. Like Taini, I enjoy
killing skinwalkers but preferred not to bed them. Despite my
dislike, I unclipped his pants and smiled up at him. I looked up at
him and said in a soft seductive voice

“I want you Ulric. You are my eternal heart.
We belong together. Nothing and no one should have ever kept us
apart. Tell me that you want me. Tell me that you will help me get
my heart back so that we can become a fully commingled couple.
Please Ulric, tell me you need and want me as much as I want
you.”

I watched his Adam's apple bounce up and down
as he swallowed hard. Then I saw his eyes cloud over with lust and
knew that he was going to answer based on his body's needs not his
mind's understanding. So be it. That was good enough for me. I
could tell he would do whatever I asked of him. With that
understanding I bent down and took his manhood into my warm hot
mouth.

Ulric’s body tensed and he moaned even louder
as I utilized a technique that I know caused his entire body to
strum with pleasure. The more my lips moved up and down his shaft
the more he cried out words of love and endearment. He was all but
promising me the world by the time his seed burst from him and
filled my mouth. I had no intention of swallowing so I allowed it
to plop from my mouth and was about to use his sheets to wipe it
when the bedroom door flew open.

I looked up with his seed still all over my
face and realised half the people in the house including the female
skinwalker were starting at us. She had the look of a wounded
animal in her eyes. If I didn’t known better I would have thought
she was very very close to him. His parents were looking at both of
us with clear disapproval in their eyes. I couldn’t stop myself
from smiling and saying in a cheeky and sarcastic voice

“I have no intention of sharing our
lovemaking with the rest of you. Please turn around and provide us
with the privacy we deserve as an eternal heart couple so that we
can complete what has already been started.”

Then to not only drive my point home but to
cause Ulric to go into a jealous fit, I pulled my shirt over my
head and exposed my naked breasts. I saw his father’s pupils dilate
and to some degree that managed to excite me. Voyeurism was
definitely something I enjoyed and the idea of having sex with
Ulric in front of all of them totally excited me. The more I
thought of it the more I wanted them to stay. I found my dark
nipples pulling tight with excitement. I also felt the place
between my legs heat and pulse with desire. I smelled my own scent
hit me at the same time as I heard Ulric roar in anger.

“Get out! Get out now or I will make you
regret it”

Everyone but the female skinwalker took off
in less than the time it took me to blink. The fox hesitated for
only a moment. It had been just long enough for both Ulric and I to
see a tear slip from her eye. Ulric started to pull away from me
and I realised he was fighting with himself. I couldn’t afford to
have him hesitate so I quickly pulled my panties to the side and
slid myself down his shaft.

Something was very wrong. With each day that
passes I become more and more convinced that Taini really still
does have her heart but there is just something wrong with it. I
feels wrong and my heart doesn't recognize hers at all. In fact
nothing about Taini felt right.

Not only was her heart different, her
memories also seemed too affected. Our first night together Taini
said several times she wanted to drink my blood. When I reminded
her it would finalize our commingling she looked at me
questionably. I reminded her that her side has been in place since
I was an infant. I was shocked that she seemed surprised. In her
letter she claimed that was the reason she was doing this in the
first place.

Oddly however she declined commingling our
essence after we talked about it. When I pushed the issue she
claimed it was because her heart was missing and without it the
commingling would be incomplete. I wanted to believe her but
something deep inside was crying foul and my heart was
uncomfortable and felt anxious as well... Something in her words
rang untrue and had the smell of deceit.

The two of us had left my mum’s house
immediately after our first night together. Taini claimed she was
worried about skinwalker attacks staying so close to a tribe. I
assured her the Raritan tribe was of no consequence but she refused
to back down. Eventually I agreed to just to please her.

It seemed I've been doing that a lot lately.
It was odd since in all honesty aside from the physical attraction
I really had nothing in common with Taini. I found her to be an
eccentric and very self-centered individual. I could only pray that
once she got her heart back that she would be a more agreeable
person. In the least once our essence commingled and became one, I
would be satisfied and content regardless of her personality.

My inner animals however disagreed. They
believed she was a nasty selfish person and would never be good
enough for us. They whined and moaned every chance they got. They
loved to rub in my face what a good person and match Seraphina had
been. They would nag at me about her selflessness and her easygoing
personality.

Taini huffed again and I knew she was getting
ready to demand that we found better accommodations. I reached into
my pocket and pulled out my cell in preparation of begging my
family to pull some strings. Taini only liked the best in life. She
would want to stay in one of the most upscale expensive hotels
there was in Manhattan. She was never going to make do with a
Double Tree on the Jersey side of the river.

It was times like these that I found myself
agreeing with my inner animals. Taini was a lot of work and I never
thought being with my eternal heart would be this hard. As if on
cue I heard her shriek and immediately she bolted out of the
bathroom.

"This place is filthy Ulric. I can't possibly
stay here. Why would we even stay in Jersey at all when we are so
close to the city that never sleeps? It’s a chupacabra’s dream
Ulric. Make some calls and get us in The St. Regis. I would make
the calls but then we might have skinwalkers sniffing at our
heels."

I pushed in the number for my mum and pop and
slid my finger over the call button. Taini and I were using
disposable phones since she insisted the skinwalkers were
monitoring our phone calls. Personally I thought she was a little
paranoid. The phone started ringing and I patiently waited for my
mum or pop to answer the phone.

When Seraphina's soft voice said hello for
just a moment my mouth went dry and I lost my voice. I managed to
say hello and ask her how she was doing. I swallowed hard and could
hear Taini in the background still complaining about the hotel.

"Taini, I'm going into the hallway so I can
see about getting us a room at the Regent. I'll be right back."

She yelled back okay and I quickly left the
hotel room. I tried to tell myself I only left the room so that I
could hear my mum and pop better but the truth was I wanted to talk
to Seraphina without Taini listening.

"Ulric, I'm so glad you called. I've been
waiting for days. We have news. Can you step away from Taini? We
need to be sure that you aren't within earshot."

I looked back at the closed door and decided
to walk outside. I heard another phone pick up and suddenly my mum
and pop’s voice were also on the phone. I could hear my nan and Pau
also trying to talk into the phone. Most likely standing over my
parents or Seraphina's shoulder.

"Ulric, are you okay? Has she tried to hurt
you?" My mum sounded frantic.

I was confused… Why would they think Taini
would hurt me? I was trying to form a response when my pop jumped
in and hollered at me

"Say something son, your mum has been worried
sick."

Pop, mum, I’m fine. What's got you all so
worked up? Everything’s the same here. Taini and I are fine. I just
called to see if you could get us a room at the Regent in
Manhattan. It's nothing life threatening and I don't believe there
are any skinwalkers after us."

"Ulric, you're not with Taini. You’re with a
Vaettir who stole Taini’s body. Pau figured it out last week when
he went to visit Haiti. He knew something was off se he decided to
visit the voodoo priestess that supposedly did the spell. That’s
when he realised it. The woman used to go by the name Amada and
she's been hopping in and out of human bodies for several years. It
was quite a coup for her to snatch a chupacabra body. Taini’s
conscious mind and heart could still be out there somewhere... ummm
maybe in the human body Amada vacated."

My pop paused and I knew he was trying to
find the words. When he just moved on I put two and two together.
He was trying to say chances are Taini has already moved onto the
next plane. That Amada probably killed her the moment the switch
was completed. I heard my pop take a deep breath then finish on a
softer almost sad voice

"Anyhow we've been dying to get a hold of you
since the longer Amada stays in Taini body the harder it will be to
get her out and maybe restore Taini."

I never got a chance to say anything to my
father. Before I could open my mouth I felt a sharp pain in the
back of my neck and it was lights out from there.

I've been slipping in and out of
consciousness. Sometimes I completely forget who I am and where I'm
at. My brain is getting foggy and I'm having trouble remembering
what's real. What's reality and what's dream. Maybe I was never a
chupacabra. Maybe I was just a poor Mexican kid with big
dreams.

I might have been a drug addict and I
overdosed in this dirty old warehouse. Maybe that's why my soul and
mind are trapped in this nasty room. Or maybe I really was
chupacabra and maybe I really did have an eternal heart out there
that at this moment was being used and abused by the nasty Vaettir
that stole my body.

I can't be sure anymore and my heart aches so
much that I don't even want to try. I have no perception of time. I
can't tell if I've been trapped here for hours or for years. It
could be centuries for all I know. Then for just a moment hope
filled my entire being. I was positive I felt something. Something
good that reminded me of home and family, it brushed against me and
welcomed my touch. It was such a wonderful, familiar comforting
feeling.

For just a nanosecond I was sure I touched
something. Then it was gone, leaving me with nothing but more proof
that my mind had taken leave of me. It was time to end this. I knew
I could influence the wastrels that came and shot themselves full
of drugs in the room where my soul was trapped.

Tonight, I would have them
accidentally
on purpose set this building on fire. With
any luck it would burn to the ground and my soul would be released
from this prison I've been stuck in. It no longer mattered if I’d
been one of them or the chupacabra in my dreams. The only thing
that mattered now was that I found closure and a tiny bit of peace
and serenity.

"Why would you be with her? Why Ulric you're
a skinwalker! She's the camazotz! Why! Tell me why you would you
help her? You should have rejected her! My son died because of her!
I should kill you right now. If you weren't her eternal heart I
would… I really would… but we need you to draw her out.

You both need to pay for my son dying. You
tricked me into thinking that you were helping me when you were
helping her. They skinned my son alive and I blame you and her. I
am going to catch her and I promise you I will make sure you have
to watch us torture and kill her. Then only after I'm sure you
can't possibly suffer anymore I will let you die."

He punched me in my nose and I felt it break
yet again. So far just today they've broken my nose twice,
dislocated my shoulder and I pretty sure my left eye socket is
shattered. Not to mention that they've kept me in direct sunlight
all day.

I'm not sure how many of them there are. At
this point I've been beaten by at least three different
skinwalkers. I recognized Chief Óscar from Nevada not only from his
words but from his scent and voice as well. I can tell they are
other chiefs by their scent too. After each beating they stuff me
back into some strange cell. I call it a cell simply because I have
no better word for it.
