Sweet Menace (20 page)

He grabbed both my hands in his. I fought against his touch but my resistance was scrawny. Truth was I was tired of fighting.

“Lets share those secrets. I’ll understand. I won’t judge. I’ll tell mine as well. Sounds good?” -While he talked, he cuddled in my neck and shoulder. My skin was like sharp pins. I was melting again. I was a pudding under the sun. A sugar cube in the mouth of an anthill. -“I’ll start with my secrets. I’m a…”

Grabbing his face with unmeasured passion, I pulled him to me, kissing his lips with hungry desperation. Maybe this way we could forget the words. Perhaps a kiss can dissolve the secrets. Heaven came to me and I floated in clouds made of ripped fruits. So sweet were his arms I was flying to the moon at plain daylight. Not ready to break free from him, I let him lead our love exchange. This kiss, so wild and unrestrained, was like giving him my whole being. With it I relinquished my powers, my ability to escape from him, my self control. I wanted to live in his arms. But most of all, I wanted him to be happy. By my side he would never be blissful as he deserved. I had unfinished business and every part of who I am will rebound to affect him.

Sam held me hard. We both were anchors, the savior to one another. I pulled him harder to me, an embrace so pure that I felt we were sow together by the divinity of the world. We were two bodies but our soul was just one, one complicated and big essence.

His strength and passion grew. It was bigger than what I can deal with. He had me pinned against the wall and awareness was coming back. I wanted this kiss to never end. I needed to be holding him until the end of our time. I was desperate to be his and had him to me forever.

My truth… This secret was beyond his capacity of acceptance. This was too much to handle. Fire and water could never live together. They could exist in harmony in this big world. Birds and worms cannot share the same roof. There’s always one who is stronger.

I feared to be the stronger of both. My power could crush him, destroy his family, break his heart, kill him. I’ll never be his death, not if I can avoid it.

Something separated us. A force pulling us together, pushing us apart. We both stood still for a second, holding each other but the kiss was broken. I fell into account it was my Maghik. I had lost control of the Maghik and it was taking advantage. Sam’s eyes showed a worried surprise and I feared for his reaction.

I pushed him away. The tears gathering in my eyelids were big and heavy as ice balls. His eyes were watered too and I couldn’t continue looking at him another second.

Without goodbyes, I hurried inside the house, dragged my luggage and left through the kitchen directly to the garage. I pressed the remote to open the rolling door and hit the gas pedal. Driving by Sam’s car broke my heart. Lilly was sticking her head out of the window, looking straight at me without hiding her disappointment. Sam’s disheartened expression was the worst of images to keep.

I have let him down again and again. Now, looking at his face, unaware of what has really happened, I knew I was the only one to blame. He had bargained with Jerome just to prove he was capable of winning my heart. Once he knew me, he understood it all better. I wasn’t going to be an easy prey. I would only fall because of true deep love. That same profound feeling that brought him to me every day.

I was the curse to my family. A curse born of love and buried because of it. A curse that unfolded beyond a hunter’s safety barriers. I am Sam’s perdition and this love can only promise his death.

I change every life I touch.

I feed them well until they come
to me looking for more.

Then I engulf the heat of their hearts.
