Aurora
This man had me fucked up. How in the world did I find myself locked in a house surrounded by swamps, snakes and gators? Never in a million years did I imagine this happening to me. Thank goodness I have a cloak of protection over me. That will ease my mind a bit. However, I don’t know how I am going to stay locked in this place without going outside.
What was worse, I didn’t have a clue how I was going to keep my hands off that sexy man. There was already an attraction between us. The fact that he was a protector made that attraction ten times worse. When he tied me to his bike, I thought I would orgasm on the spot.
Sheol unknowingly awakened one of my kinks. There was just something about a dangerous man on a bike. The man was sexy and dangerous. Both were like kryptonite to me. Add in that Creole accent and I had to fight myself to keep my legs closed.
“What are you over there brewing about, Cher?”
Damn, I loved it when he called me that. I was making an internal bet with myself on how long it would take for him to talk me out of my drawers. It would definitely be happening. I just hoped I didn’t give in on the first night.
“I’m thinking about those bikers and how to handle them if they find us,” I lied.
That’s what I should have been thinking about, but Lord knows I was fantasizing about Sheil’s dick. Something was seriously wrong with me. The need to have him was overtaking me. It was almost like I was under a spell. Could he be working magic on me? Well, if he was, he was one powerful being. My ability to resist him was null and void. Thank goodness he hadn’t made a move on me yet.
“So, you know who they are? Why are they after you?”
I took a deep breath. I knew this was too good to be true. I somehow thought I would not have to explain my past to him. There was no telling how he was going to take this, but I had to spill the tea.
“Yes, I know who they are and why they are after me. My full name is Aurora Cole, and I am a witch from a very powerful coven. I am the last of my bloodline.”
I paused for his reaction. To my surprise, Sheol just sat there, waiting for me to continue. Since he didn’t seem to be panicking, I decided he could handle all of my truth.
“Let me start by telling you about my aunt. Auntie Kris was my favorite aunt. She was a very powerful witch. She raised me after my mother was murdered. She taught me how to handle my magic. About a year ago, her decapitated body was found.
“Soon after her death, I met this guy named Zeus. He was in a biker gang call Slayer MC. He seemed like a cool guy, so we began dating. I was alone in the world, so I kind of clung to him. At first, he was a ton of fun. We went out on dates, he taught me how to ride, and he even introduced me to his club.
“One night we were at his place, and he fell asleep. Usually, this guy never fell asleep before I did, but this night he did. Being the curious type, I decided to nose around in his things. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular. When I opened his top dresser drawer, I got the shock of my life.
“In the drawer I discovered my deceased aunt’s amulet of protection. She never took it off, but when her body was found, the amulet was missing. The police never did anything, in my opinion, to solve her murder. They simply didn’t care. That one night solved things for me. I couldn’t believe the man I had been sleeping with had killed my aunt. I dug around some more and discovered not only was he a murderer, but he was a witch hunter.”
“Fuck, Cher. Are you telling me that those bikers are actually witch hunters who are trying to kill you?”
“That’s exactly what I am saying. Zeus was the VP of the club. When I found out who he really was, I had no choice but to kill him. If I hadn’t, he would have decapitated me and ended my bloodline. It was well known in our circle that any hunter who ended a powerful coven’s bloodline would gain an enormous amount of power.
“He had been using me to get that power. I had been sleeping with the enemy. When I realized the danger I was in, I wanted to cry. After putting the amulet on my arm, I said a spell that turned it into a tattoo. That way it can’t be removed so easily. Using the power of the amulet to protect me, I entered Zeus’ bedroom, retrieved the sword from the display on the wall and chopped his head off. But not before waking him up so he could face me. Then I ran.”
“So, you killed him. That should be the end of things, right?”
I shook my head. He didn’t understand how these things worked.
“It turned out his MC was nothing but a glorified hunter gang. He had a twin brother named Hades who is the president. He was ten times worse than Zeus. The man wants my head on a platter and will stop at nothing to get it. I won’t be safe until he and the rest of his gang are dead.”
“Alright, so they must die.”
“What? No, Sheol. See, this is why I didn’t want to get you involved. I can’t let you get hurt trying to protect me. These people are more ruthless than any mafia family you have ever heard of. Even the Russians. Nobody crosses the Slayers.”
“Well, if they bring their asses into New Orleans hunting my woman, they will find out how notorious the Sinners are. My prez had given permission for me to protect you. If they start shit with me, they start shit with the Sinners. My brothers will have my back.”
