Chapter 24
“Look at you. Legs dangling in water, your supposed ‘elemental’ gift and yet, you’re slowly circling the drain.”
A slight moan came from the awkwardly arranged body at his feet.
Quint nudged Maya’s head with his shoe. “Ah, ahh, no distress calls allowed.”
A wild scream ripped from Maya’s throat.
“That’s right, my little water whore, scream. Let me hear you. The melody is music to my ears.”
Maya’s back was broken. Paralyzed. He’d let the water heal her for a time before he began her torture all over again. “Did you really think you and that air puff could spy and I wouldn’t know? My dear, have you learned nothing after all this time?”
He gleaned her attempts to mist and escape into the water, but the poor creature was too weak. His hopes for more of a fight from Ms. Conway were dashed—literally. Pity.
“All you had to do was ask. I would have told you everything. What is it you want to know? The vaccine? It’s not real. It just hides the prion. My dark matter masks it. Those scientists bumble around, but they’ll never see the truth, nor detect it. So weak is the human mind, unable to fathom all that I am. Quite unfortunate, as there is so much I could show them. My company will make millions once the scare begins then I’ll simply disappear.”
A mumbling came from the body lying prone before him.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t catch that. Did you say something? Interesting, what’s this?”
Her mind projected a strong vision of Terran above her, staring into her eyes. His face flushed. Apparently, they’d just fucked. Now this vision intrigued as it flashed from her mind through his. Such a beautiful man. Terran’s body, once peri-mortal, would fit his needs perfectly, and soon. Very soon.
Gravel crunched under his feet as he paced beside her. “Good, was he? I knew Terran had potential, especially with that substantial package hanging between his thighs. Liked that, did you? Perhaps, I’ll keep you alive so I can fill you with it again and again. Wouldn’t that be a crowning glory?”
The water whore didn’t respond. Too broken, the bottom half of her body lying half-immersed in the lake. Her eyes were closed, so he kicked her hip, jolting her to attention.
“Have you ever watched a house cat play with a mouse? I find it entertaining. The cat stalks, then pounces, hovering over the mouse’s body. The mouse fights against the claws sunk deep into its flesh. The fun begins once the cat tosses the half-dead mouse in the air and bats it about with its paws. And then the cat bites off the poor creatures head. I thought perhaps we could play cat and mouse today, but your very X-rated picture show has changed my mind.”
Choices, choices.
If he used Maya as a host, he might have a bit of fun with her body before receiving his true prize. He could use Maya’s womanly wiles to seduce Terran. Once he discovered Mother Nature had transformed Terran into the peri-mortal Earthman, he would escape his watered-down shell.
