CHAPTER SEVEN

Amie shot up in bed, her heart racing and her body breaking out in a cold sweat.

As far as nightmares went, she’d had scarier ones, but the distended ache of her nipples and sticky slickness between her thighs highlighted an aroused terror she never wanted to feel.

But actually really, really did.

Tears filled her eyes and she shook her head hard. Donas had spoken directly to her this night and she hated the silky glide of his voice. He was never an intrusive presence, which made him all the more unwanted.

You cannot stop me, Aminata. But more importantly, you cannot stop him. Or yourself. If everything goes as it should, you will enjoy your demise. I most certainly will regardless.

It was a threat. It was a promise. And if Donas were right, it was inevitable.

“No,” Amie whispered to herself, bringing her knees to her chest. “It can’t be.”

Except, the dreams had been coming more frequently. Every time she closed her eyes, she could See naked flesh; feel the warm brush of breath against her collarbones, the insistent grip on her flanks, the heavy weight between her legs. And she yearned, yearned for something that would clear the path for Donas to win.

This was the cruelest torture and Donas knew it too.

To help protect herself, Aaliyah had set up a spell to prevent Jaie from entering the cave. She was more a prisoner now than she’d been the entire time after her “death.” She didn’t trust herself around him. She wouldn’t have her sacrifice be in vain.

“You know you can’t avoid him forever,” Aaliyah had warned her after she’d put up the spell.

“I don’t need forever,” Amie had replied. “Just until I die.”

Aaliyah had burst out laughing and even Amie had allowed herself a small smile. “You really like this martyr role, huh? Joan of Arc ain’t got shit on you, girl. For nothin’ else, we better win this war so you can get laid for once.”

“I can’t get laid by Jaie,” Amie reminded her.

Aaliyah snorted. “As if Jaie doesn’t love you enough to risk it all. You did already; maybe now it’s his turn to do the same.”

Amie shook her head, trying to dislodge the words. Jaie didn’t have the liberty to sacrifice! He had to help defeat the Donas! She wasn’t worth anything compared to Creation!

She had to cool down.

Untangling her arms and legs from the silk sheets of her bedding, Amie pulled off the satin nightgown she wore and padded into the pool. The water, still welcoming and temperate, covered her toes like an eager friend wrapping her up in a generous hug. She did a small dive into the water, stroking her way deeper into the pool. After a few laps back and forth, Amie situated herself in the middle of the pool then flipped onto her back.

Though Amie’s mind continued to race, her body relaxed, bobbing like a buoy upon a gentle lake. She let the rocking lull her and heavy lids drooped over unseeing eyes.
