for Kallie..
whose first story
was truly wonderful..
Donamarie had been seduced by the spirit of Gerard Stiles.
She is standing in the middle of the room. Her beautiful breasts are exposed to him, and to the night. "What are you doing?!" Nicholas demands to know. He covers her bare chest. She seems dazed and confused. 'I- I don't know, Nicholas. I can't remember."
Nicholas looks around the room with suspicion, as his warlock senses are on the alert. "Has Gerard been here with you? Has he?!!" He demands, shaking her. "No, I haven't seen Gerard." She tells him.
Nicholas is not at all convinced. He can see tears on her face. He lifts her chin up to him. He kisses her tear -stained face, kissing her tears away. "Oh my beautiful wife, what has happened to you tonight? And what shall happen to you next?!!" He looks around the room with suspicion.
He kisses her passionately on her sweet lips. He runs his magic fingers through her raven hair. "I love you, Donamarie. I love you!" He tells her, holding her tightly. "And I will do anything to protect you! And may the devil curse any man or spirit that tries to harm you!!"
He gently lifts her into his strong, magnificent arms. As he carries her up to bed. His tiny baby son is kicking from within. He is happy his father has rescued his mother, and is putting her safely to bed.
Nicholas puts his bride into bed. He sits in a chair the rest of the night, watching over his beloved angel.
*****************************************************************************
The dawn has come. It is a new day. Donamarie opens her eyes. Her tiny baby is kicking once again.
"Nicholas, why aren't you in bed with me? Why are you sitting in that chair? And why are you staring at me?" She asks in wonder.
"I couldn't sleep. So I sat here, and decided to watch you sleep." He lies to her.
"Nicholas, come feel your son! He is kicking so hard! He grows stronger each day!" Says his bride. Her face is radiant with happiness as she speaks. Nicholas places his hands on his unborn son. He feels several strong kicks from within her womb. "Yes, he smiles, he shall be a strong baby. He shall be a powerful son and warlock." Nicholas says with pride.
Donamarie notices that something is bothering Nicholas this morning. "Nicholas, you look worried. What is it?" Nicholas looks at her with concern. "Do you remember anything about last night? Do you remember anything at all??" He asks her.
"No, Nicholas. I remember falling asleep. I was cold, so I got out of bed to get a nightgown." She tells him.
"And then what?" Nicholas demands. She gives him a thoughtful look.
"I guess I went back to sleep."
Nicholas rose from the chair. He was obviously upset and angry!.
"Nicholas, what is it? What is wrong? Something is wrong, I know it!!" She exclaims.
"Last night, my dear, I found you downstairs, in the middle of the parlor. You were half naked and had been crying. Tell me, Donamarie, tell me you remember something about last night!! What happened to you down there when you should be in bed asleep with me!! Tell me what happened, when you should be getting your rest, and not exciting yourself , for the sake of my baby!"
Nicholas was very angry now, and with good reason. Donamarie was starting to cry. She has no memory of the night before. She has no memory of the evil spirit Gerard taunting her and seducing her in the night.
"I think Gerard came to you last night, Donamarie! I think he touched you in a way that sickens me!! Why can't you remember that, my dear?!" "Why can't you remember if he had his hands all over you? Why can't you remember if he touched you?! He shouts at her.
'I don't know Nicholas, I just do not know!! I cannot seem to remember anything!! Oh Nicholas, please come to me and hold me! Donamarie tells him. I am afraid! Why don't I remember what happened to me?! Why, Nicholas, why??" She cries in disbelief and fear.
Nicholas hates to see her cry. He quickly walks over to the bed to hold her and comfort her. "I shall stay awake at night and watch over you, my dear. I shall see that Gerard touches you no more! He will be sorry he has haunted you. He will be destroyed for touching you, my beautiful wife!!" Nicholas vows as he seethes with rage.
