Chapter 82
Since our weekend away, things have only improved. Dominique was going out with her family more, and they were ecstatic to see her without the stone. The only problem was that I would still catch her with it. It was like the thing had a hold on her that she couldn’t shake. I saw her talking to it when she thought I wasn’t around. I didn’t want to tell her family about it since they were so happy with the change in her. Soon we would be going to England, and they wouldn’t know about it anyway.
I hoped to get her to leave it here so it wouldn’t draw her in. I’m sure that I’m wishful thinking on that one. Dominique had been staying in my room for the past month. I made her leave the stone in her room. Unfortunately, she was always gone when I woke up. I often wondered if she even slept in the room once I was gone. She may have fallen asleep, woken up in the middle of the day, and moved back to

Carson moved through the night as he came closer to the house. He’d been monitoring the place for weeks. The maids only came here during the day. He took pictures and waited to see if anyone left the house. He stayed all night but saw no movement on the outside. If Roger had been correct, the woman should have come out to find unsuspecting victims for her lover. He wound up falling asleep at one point. He jerked as he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see Ewan standing there with a frown on his face. “Did you manage to capture anything? Or did you just sleep all night?”“I’m sorry, Sir. I must’ve dozed off early this morning. However, I haven’t seen anyone come or go from the house. I don’t know if they are back or not. So far, no one has left. If Roger's words are accurate, the woman should have come out by now. The maid I’ve been talking to says the owners are back home. However, I haven’t seen anyone other than the few maids that work here.”“See if you can get the mai

“This camera attaches to a button on your shirt. They won’t even be able to tell that you are doing anything. The feed links directly to my computer so that I can see everything on it. I thought you wanted to help me?”“I do, but why do you need all this information? You still haven’t told me anything, and the lady of the house seems really nice. I haven’t talked to her much, but when I do, she always treats me really well.”“They aren’t what they seem to be. That’s all the information I can give you for now. You may not want to return to the house if I say anything else, and I really need your help.”“Okay, I’ll help you this time, but no more. And you also owe me another date. Deal?” Leona
Nathaniel Prologue
Whoever said living forever would be fantastic has never lived more than one lifetime. I've lived long enough to see empires rise and fall, battles and wars fought, won and lost. So many lives have died, and I have outlived them all. I was an ordinary man once. I had a relatively normal life for my time. My father was a man who thought his son should grow up early. For every wrong I committed, I was whipped. Those scars, like many others, faded over time.My Rose would always trace them with her fingertips, and her touch was always so soothing. Rose was my wife. I didn't have nearly enough time with her. When I was born, it was the time of knights, princes, princesses, dukes, kings, queens, and peasants. She was a peasant, and I was a knight. We were not allowed to marry because of our status.I was interested in her instantly, though. She became angry because I knocked her over while riding. The bucket of water she was carrying fell on her. It got her dress dirty. I wasn't supposed t

I remember the first time I actually showed myself to Dominique. I was in the club, but she hadn't noticed me. I watched her get on the stage, sing, and play the keyboard. I began to move toward the stage, and she noticed me. I watched her and became mesmerized as I had every other time I had watched her play. She kept looking at me and caught me looking at her every time. Finally, when she smiled at me, I felt my heart flutter. I haven't felt that in a long time. She didn't know it, but I could tell she was becoming aroused. She stared into my eyes and sang to me. I felt like it was just the two of us in that club as she continued to look into my eyes as she sang. When the band was done playing, I watched her get off the stage and head to the bar. Of course, I had to make this my opportunity, so I walked to the bar. I sat beside her and noticed her look at me from the corner of her eye. I simply turned towards her and placed my hand on her shoulder. I instantly felt that spark I ha

"Well, Nathaniel, now that you have the answer you came for, I will say goodbye to you. I have some things to check on.""Will you be busy for the rest of the night?""Maybe. Why do you ask?""Do you dance, Dominique?""Sometimes. Every once in a while, someone will ask me to dance. Occasionally I accept. It's usually one of my regulars. Why do you ask?""I did mention that I wanted to check out the local club. I didn't come in here looking for a band to audition for. I've danced with a few women. But you're the one who caught my attention. Would you be willing to save a dance for me tonight?""Um, sure, I guess. If you're still here, I'll find you," Dominique replied."I'll be here for the rest of the night. I look forward to seeing you later," I said, taking her hand and kissing it again.She walked away, and I saw Melissa trailing after her. I watched as they talked, and suddenly Dominique took off. I thought it was strange, but I didn't really know what was going on, so I let it b

The next time I met with Dominique was at the restaurant she went to. I was watching outside her house, of course, and saw her walk out. She was dressed up like she was going on a date. I ran through the woods to my car. I started my car and waited until I saw her car come out of her long driveway. I waited until she was a few car lengths ahead and followed her. When she went into the restaurant, I waited outside for a few minutes. I walked in and immediately told the maitre d’ that I was meeting someone and pointed at a table. I began to walk over and quickly detoured to see the entire restaurant. I found Dominique sitting at a table, and I also saw someone sitting with her. I quickly realized that it was her ex. I moved closer and could hear her tell him that she was waiting for her date and he was running late from a meeting. I figured this was as good of a chance as any to get some alone time with Dominique without seeming to be a creep. However, I began to smell something I ha

My mind wandered to my life with Rose. First, it went to death, and how I had to watch her waste away. Back in those days, people did not live as long. She died at the age of 50. Looking into the diseases discovered since that time, I believe my Rose suffered from tuberculosis. I looked at Dominique and realized she had been staring at me. Her mind was turning, and I could see it written all over her face. I couldn’t have her asking questions just yet. I would explain all of it to her later. “I can see your mind is thinking of questions. However, I would request that you don’t ask them. Perhaps at a later date, I will be able to talk to you about it but not now. Ok?” “Ok. I can understand. There are things I would prefer not to talk about, also. My ex is one of them.” “Fair enough. Do you have any children, Dominique?” I watched as she touched her necklace. She wore it all the time. I had often wondered what it symbolized. Since I had not heard the whole story about Dominique

“Would you like to play some music? Something slow would be preferable,” I said. She had her phone in her hand like she might need it. I knew it was a precaution, but I was fine with it. I held my hand out, and she took it. I pulled her against me and began to slow dance. It was a beautiful night. There wasn’t a cloud in sight. The moon was full and shining bright, with a million stars twinkling in the sky. “It’s breathtaking,” Dominique said. “Yes, it is,” I replied as I continued to look at her. She looked at me and saw that I was only looking at her. She had blushed so much tonight that I was surprised her face wasn’t permanently red. She laid her head on my chest, and I felt my heart flutter. I pushed my face into her hair at her temple. “You smell good. Almost good enough to eat,” I commented as I sniffed her hair. “Umm...thanks, I think. Don’t turn into the big bad wolf, and we’ll be okay. Although I don’t think the big bad wolf would smell so good. Or have a gorg
