CHAPTER EIGHT
Adam stared out into the darkness of the city below him. For hours, he had prowled his house, trying to find some peace from the questions plaguing him. There were no answers to be found. Damn, women could screw up a man's life. He had loved his mother and she had left him, betraying his tender heart and now all of this with Celeste. The shadows closed in around him and he leaned his forehead against the cool glass.
"What do you see when you look out there?" Celeste's voice came from the darkness of his bed.
Adam whirled around to find her curled up in the middle of the mattress, her blue eyes fixed on his naked body. "How the hell did you get in here? I know for a fact that Jakar would never have let you in."
"Who said I needed Jakar to let me in? He would never try to stop me." Celeste shrugged. "Your friend fears me, Adam."
"He should, shouldn't he? If he got in your way, you would destroy him without a thought. He's nothing to you."
"That's true. Jakar doesn't mean anything to me. But he means something to you. That is why I wouldn't hurt him, even if he asked me to. By destroying him, I would destroy a piece of you and I would never intentionally hurt you."
Adam turned away to study the shadows again. "You can't hurt me unless I let you. What makes you think you have that much power over me?"
"Maybe I don't. Maybe all we have is great sex, Adam. If that's the truth, then why can't we enjoy what we have and not look to the end?" Celeste started to slide from the bed.
Adam held his hand up to stop her. Shaking his head, he growled angrily. "Do I look like an idiot, Celeste? If you truly are what you say you are, you can make me do whatever you want. A being with the power you have can control anyone."
Again, Celeste shrugged. "That's true. I could make you climb into bed with me. I could make you fuck me until we both can barely move. But when free will is taken, there is no joy in the choice."
"You want me to choose to fuck you. You want me to choose to betray myself." Adam laughed harshly. "What choice is there in that?"
"None, I guess." Celeste tucked her legs under her. She slowly unbuttoned her shirt and slid it off. She wore no wear a bra. Her breasts were full and ripe and she cupped them with her hands. She could see Adam's face in the window, but she noticed that his eyes weren't focused on her image in the glass. They were focused on something beyond her in the shadows outside the window.
"What do you see when you look in the shadows, Adam?" Her voice was compelling. She wanted to know what haunted his soul.
"I see my father." Adam watched the scene unravel before him. "I was only seven when my father killed my mother.
